fans just want talent added for spots where there are no viable players
A lot of people don't feel like Cal is really going after it in the portal (whether that is true or not). If he isn't going to get experienced players with talent through the portal, if a freshman is the only other option, wouldn't you at least want to get a really talented one?
Having good guards who can get their own shot is essential in modern college basketball and especially important in the bright lights of the NCAA tournament on that we wholeheartedly agree. But almost always the NCAA champion is top 20 in both adjusted defensive and offensive efficiency. UCONN finished #3 for Offense and #7 for defense this year for example.
he would not have to compete with any of those except Edwards. He is a vast improvement over COllins, Livingston & Reeves. They would be the ones that have to worry about playing timeMgbako decommitted from Duke because he didn't want to deal with the depth issue. So, now you all think he will come to UK, where he would also have to contend with Edwards, Bradshaw, Reeves and possibly Oscar, Livingston or Collins (if either returns) for minutes at the 3 and 4 spots?
your hero might be in a leadership position, but he is no leader, as proven with the Sharpe fiasco & last year with Wheeler. He is also no judge of talent as he thought Wheeler was a top point guard. Well, us redneck fans all said Wheeler was a mistake because he could not shoot. UK was always playing 4 on 5. Now if you couldn't see that or can't understand it, then you are a prefect match for the used car salesman
when UK has no more scholarships to give, then its time to talk about balance
Yes and theres at least the same amount that hate Cal more about than love the team. This is a legit concern Torres has about a Cal decision and many of you went straight to bringing up the frw Val cult members instead of the actual topic. There are very few of them left yet thats what many of you focus on In almos every thred
It is a balance for me. I love UK. If Cal leaves tomorrow, I am fine with it. What I hate is the same asinine posters coming up with ways to hijack every thread. Most have no loyalty whatsoever to players, much less the coach. Left up to these jackasses we would have offered 1200 portal guys by now. Cal may be a little crazy but not because he didn't offer the latest hot player in the portal. Cal has more info than anyone on this board and I am sure he is picky about who he offers because get this, they may accept. There are many, many, more than four or five on this board that pull for Cal. That is different than loving Cal more than the program. What we do have is members that have dug in against those that offer nothing to the discussion except nonstop middle school insults for our players and Cal.
Why would he waste the time recruiting someone who has no interest in coming here? He left Duke for a similar situation that we are having here. He wants a guaranteed role as the main option. That's pretty clear. He won't have that here.
Why would he compete with guards and walk ons? 😂
Based off what? His high school games? 🤣
I'm confused; if they have creek water, why are they dying from thirst?
Creek Water = Bradshaw. Creek water will led you from dying but it may make you sick. It’s not the best option. Just like Bradshaw at the 4 isn’t the best option. It’ll work but there’s better options available.
It was just a really bad analogy. I highly doubt someone dying of thirst is concerned about where the water comes from. Hell, people in that situation will drink their own pee if they are still producing any. They also likely wouldn't turn down either and they could use both.
watch him, he has mobility, a fluidness that these other guys do not have
So, his high school games? If he is so good, why is he afraid of the competition at Duke?
That’s not what I’m saying about 4-5. I’m saying there are 4 or 5 that are overboard with defending him.
We got people on both ends of that debate. I was joking about it to be honest. You ever seen the movie anchorman?
I agree with most of what you just wrote. The problem is, you and everyone like you exaggerate drastically. The 19, 20 team were really good. Now I know you are gonna point out they didn't go unbeaten so therefore they sucked. Other than 1 or 2 teams in those 2 years UK was probably top 3 in the country. So how do you come up with half decade plus?
This...Some of the best offenses in college hoops (yes, I know, I know UKs efficiency...talk to me after no Oscar to clean it up) us soooooo many principles from those DDMO days. His last Memphis team or two were just freaking fun to watch on offense because of it.
Man, Idk...those last couple Memphis teams ran primarily all DDMO and they played FAST. It's like the absolute complete opposite of what we now see.
Hell Cal pisses on himself every game especially the close ones where he tightens up like a bulls ass in fly season. He should never go thirsty.
The last thing this team needs is four freshman starters.
Or maybe Cal doesn't Duke kids because they were cerebral players, and Cal fears being exposed.
Other than just regurgitating what other posters have claimed, what do you base Bradshaw not handling contact or being a bad 3pt shooter on?
that is what it is going to be & Ugo might as well be classified as a freshman since he played so little last year
has he ever used anyone to their potential..........no because there are no plays to help them out
Scouting reports all mention him as someone who will need to work on his body to be able to play through contact.
that's why I'm not too shook up about who UK gets or don't get.
Really, can you quote these scouting reports?
