Wait if he averages 9 PPG only playing 15 mpg wouldn't he be a All -SEC playing 25-30 averaging 15+ PPG. Going to be really hard to average 9 PPG only playing 15 mpg.
You seem to have responded to the wrong thread. What you posted has no relevance to the question I posed.
No just making a point about keeping kids like the three incoming freshmen around for 2 or 3 years is hard in today's college basketball world. Your right I just responded to the title and didn't read your post. Sorry for the confusion.
Noah's grandpa played football at UK. Kid has athletic genes
Kentucky boys will stay at Kentucky. Especially if they get a few minutes. Also, they’ll get enough money from endorsements as such to make them all very happy I’m sure. Kentucky boys meaning these two. Now down the road,, who knows, but these two guys were bred for this and the stars have lined up for them. My opinion of course redbird.
Yes and to be honest I would love to see a pracitce and him matched up against Krissa because to be honest I am not sure I wouldn't take Travis in that matchup. Travis has a very quick first step and gets to his spots pretty easily. He has an old school game and is much more than a shooter.
In terms of reality, that’s a safe guess. This would also give the team supportive minutes and points off the bench on a deep team. So, anything along those lines means; our core is developing while contributing to a style of play we’re expecting and our bench is deep.
Funny how people are experts based on a few YouTube clips.
Yeah it's just a conservative guess and even if it's correct I'd be pretty happy for the reasons you mentioned. But who knows man, they could blow up and do much better. You just never really know how a player is going to do when they transition from HS to college. I can't wait to find out!
Also if they are playing any meaningful minutes i'm pretty sure Kentucky kids NIL value is much higher playing for Kentucky than for anyone else. Local businesses will be all over giving them deals which would not be the case if they were playing somewhere else.
It is conservative, and you also answered the fundamental question when evaluating players. How is this player going to transition? With HS players it’s high risk high reward, and that was the Cal system. We’ve seen it produce numerous times.
I think it’s almost certain one of these guys will become an important part of the rotation, and someone who gets minutes in March. My prediction is Chandler simply because he’s two years older and has had more time to develop his body. But if the two years off require a year to get back in shape, I think Perry is second most likely, and Noah third.
I think you are 100% wrong, for the Ky kids, part of their NIL attraction will be that they are from KY and playing for UK. NIL at any other school will be based on skill alone, but at UK it will be skill AND their huge popularity with fans because they are from here.
They will also gain employment opportunities in the state just because they wore the jersey. It was a smart move on Noah's end..
For reference and perspective, Sheppard averaged 28.9 minutes and 12.5 points per game. Wagner averaged 25.8 minutes and 9.9 points. Dillingham averaged 23.3 minutes and 15.2 points.
