Most portal guys expect to start, so how do you handle adding pretty much an entire team from the portal?
Probably those 2 imo as well. But I really like Osobor.If true, that must mean Khalifa and I hope Amari Williams from Drexel.
You're my competition. I've literally refreshed my browser 290 times and checked various outlets, websites, and discords all day.It's a slow day at work and I've refreshed my browser 291 times today waiting for news of an assistant coach. Due to this desperation, I am 100% believing the random Twitter guy and Im choosing to believe the starting big is an All-American.
LOL...nothing like brutal honesty. So funnyIt's a slow day at work and I've refreshed my browser 291 times today waiting for news of an assistant coach. Due to this desperation, I am 100% believing the random Twitter guy and Im choosing to believe the starting big is an All-American.
If Khalifa starts, we are in big trouble! Or are you saying he is the backup. I wouldn't be thrilled about that, but ok, if Pope trusts him (to improve).If true, that must mean Khalifa and I hope Amari Williams from Drexel. That's about as good as you could do in adding two centers, since portal guys generally want some assurance of starting. You can't start nine guys, which is roughly the number of transfers Kentucky needs to pull.
Looks like who starts and who is backup has already been settled. I like that. Means backup will not come thinking he might start and be disappointed when he doesn't. Know their roles from the start.
I highly doubt that’s been settled. But regardless, why would you like that starting spots have already been settled? That’s not a good thing. Our team hasn’t even been assembled yetLooks like who starts and who is backup has already been settled. I like that.

SHow them film of 1996 team where the 11 man was Ron Mercer. But he won a championship.Most portal guys expect to start, so how do you handle adding pretty much an entire team from the portal?
If Khalifa plays more then Eloy Vargas minutes, it's going to get ugly.If Khalifa starts, we are in big trouble! Or are you saying he is the backup. I wouldn't be thrilled about that, but ok, if Pope trusts him (to improve).
We don't know that anything was "promised". Perhaps what should have been said is "likely starters".Don't care for this. Promising starting spots wasn't ok 2 weeks ago and it isn't today.
I agree. I actually was thinking last night how those 2 compare. My kids thought "Dammit" was his first name, because every time he played, within seconds I would say "Dammit Vargas". I never cussed much.If Khalifa plays more then Eloy Vargas minutes, it's going to get ugly.
You mean 7th manSHow them film of 1996 team where the 11 man was Ron Mercer. But he won a championship.
I'd play Eloy 100 out of 100 times over Khalifa. The idea of him getting his **** thrown near the rim, having guys dunk on him and trading that for a backdoor pass isn't good enough for me, but still hoping this is speculative and it's someone else that comes to UK.I agree.

After last year why do you worry about ugly ... which would be a step upIf Khalifa plays more then Eloy Vargas minutes, it's going to get ugly.

Not sure where you are getting that Mercer was the 11th man. He was 7th in MPG (only 3 MPG from being 4th), 5th in PPG and started 13 of the 36 games.SHow them film of 1996 team where the 11 man was Ron Mercer. But he won a championship.

Against Baylor (just one game I knew BYU won) He played 28 minutes, had 14 points, 7 reb, 7 asst. I am sure that is probably the best you can get from him and I watched some film and he does seem slow and lazy but does get some things done. Not sure night in night out in SEC if he can make it.If Khalifa plays more then Eloy Vargas minutes, it's going to get ugly.
What final poll were we 9th in?We finished 9th in the final poll. Can we please stop pretending we had some awful season.
He cant be any worse that big tall slow dude from last yearIf Khalifa plays more then Eloy Vargas minutes, it's going to get ugly.
In the final poll of the regular season, we were 9th in the AP and coaches poll.What final poll were we 9th in?

Do we even know for sure he's coming here? Last I saw he was visiting another place. If he does come, maybe after getting him in our strength and conditioning program, he will lose a lot of that fat and be more effective. At least that's what I'm hoping. He just won't add much besides his knowledge of the offense/defense, his passing and an occasional 3 right now. Hopefully after the surgery he will be able to workout better and be a changed man.If Khalifa plays more then Eloy Vargas minutes, it's going to get ugly.

That wasn't the final poll and before we lost in the SEC and NCAA tournament to crappy teams. The final poll had us listed as 19 & 20. While not awful I would say losing 3 home games, losing in the first round of the SEC tournament, losing to Oakland in the first round of the NCAA tournament and doing it will multiple guys who will play in the NBA is awful.The final one of the season. Released March 11.
I'd love to see that happen but the games I watched he was a liability and when you teach any defense, it's on a string--you pull one guy--they all should move.....he was just such a liability and we always see how SEC may not be the best league, but has NBA size/athleticism. That leads to seeing so many SEC players CBB fans are "stunned" are in the NBA/still in the league due to benefiting from skill development but already possessing the physical traits to excel. (at all positions too, not just frontcourt)Against Baylor (just one game I knew BYU won) He played 28 minutes, had 14 points, 7 reb, 7 asst.

With a strong finish to the season, I could see us saying it was a good season. With us losing in the first round of both tournaments combined with losing to UNC-W, losing 10 games, and losing 3 in a row at home, it was a bad season.We finished 9th in the final poll. Can we please stop pretending we had some awful season.
