Rotation w/ current players
- Thread starter delk4three
- Start date
Grab a back up to Carr and we doing the platoon thing 😂😂
Wouldn't expect to add anything other than bench players at this point.
With the 2 guards that committed today plus Oteg, Butler, Chandler and Perry, that is a lot of players at the 1 - 3. This is why I think it's hard to envision Jaxson Robinson joining now.
The combo of Williams, Carr and Garrison will make it hard to add another big. We could probably still get the Baylor decommit from Juco.
Krissa, Brea, Otega, Carr, Williams would be my picks for likely starters. Butler will be first off the bench.
I think you’re looking at 1 additional backup big and room for Jaxxson when he decides
Several places have Krissa listed as a pg, and he averages more assists than Butler.
Butler Starts / Kriisa Back up / Perry if both in foul trouble.
Kriisa or Oweh starts and other backs up / Chandler and Perry
Brea Starts / Oweh backs up / chandler if both in foul trouble
Carr Starts / Garrison back up / Oweh if both in foul trouble
Williams / Garrison / Carr if both in foul trouble.

I would like to add one more wing. That could rotate up to PF and play small ball if needed!
But I see a roster with nobody that is going to average 20 ppg. But I see 7 that could put 20 on you on any given night!
I call bs here on Jones not you Dontworryaboutit
Maybe by January. But not right off. He has been on his mission and word has it for the past 24 months has not picked up a ball, let alone stayed in shape for 24 months. If that is true (multiple so called experts out there), if true then he will have some much rust that Dorothy will have to get out the tin can and rust remover and work on him for months.
Yes,
Posted thread at the top with our roster so far for next year, with continual updating with new commitments. Currently at 9, so a few more slots to fill.
I think there is some truth to it. If poplar visits I think they go all out for him. But Robinson seems to be the guy pope and staff see as the final piece
That means we're waiting on Jaxon Robinson I hope!
I hope Poplar visit us still need both I think Robinson will be last man added jmho
I'm good with the roster UK has now. If Pope & the guys can add to that roster and make it even better, great. But it feels like many of these guys are recognized on this board as the really good players they are until they commit. Then some come out with "he's not good enough." It makes me question what most of these posters really know about the game, and also suspect they may be some of the same ones chasing recruiting rankings and think the #1 player in high school recruiting rankings is the "best player in the country" or one of those "studs" UK has to get. What I think is the guys on the roster already are more than good enough to routinely beat the freshmen dominated teams Calipari had been riding with at UK.
With most players costing money now I think we'll see very few teams use all 13 scholarships now. I think Hurley used 11 last year and will only fill that many slots next year.
As it stands
PG - Butler/Kriisa
SG - Kriisa/Oweh
SF - Brea/Oweh
PF - Carr/Oweh
C - Williams/Garrison
With a DUDE [Poplar/Robinson/Wells/Richmond]
PG - Butler/Kriisa
SG - Brea/Kriisa
SF - DUDE/Oweh
PF - Carr/Oweh
C - Williams/Garrison
I love having Otega-tron, and Butler, who both give us incredible flexibility on defense.

Yeah they still need one more guy on top of Robinson
I hope all of them are hard to keep off the floor because it means we have a great team.
The PG spot is interesting right now, with Butler and Kriisa both being good but not elite options. Hard to imagine them both starting, but they've both started every game of their career after freshman year. Seems like a lot of it will be situation based, Butler when you need defense, Kriisa when you need offense. I love getting as many ballhandlers on the floor as possible. I'll take a shot at the current lineup:
Kriisa
Brea
Oweh
Carr
Williams
Butler first off the bench. Note that 5 of the top 6 in this scenario are 5th year seniors(!!!!).
Seems likely we get at least one more guy that is an important rotation piece, if not starter, when it's all said and done. Especially if they're a guy who withdraws from the draft. Robinson and Wells being the two obvious answers.
G Butler(30)/Kriisa(10)
G Kriisa(20)/Oweh(10)/Chandler(5)/Perry(5)
G Brea(30)/Oweh(10)
F Carr(30)/Garrison(10)
F Williams(25)/Garrison(15)
Basically a 7 man rotation as it stands. Don’t see the Freshmen playing much with all those Seniors/Graduates on the roster.
Would like to see us add another big (an athletic 4 man, maybe?) for depth. We have good bigs, but 25-30 minutes a piece might be pushing them. A guy like Toppin would be ideal.

I agree with everything except I'd probably flip Kriisa and Butler.
