He’s killing the team. The weak link.
Cool comment. Care to comment on the topic itself? Or nah?
Wouldn’t say weak link.. The whole team looks like crap.. OSU is also hitting everything under the moon ..
He would if I didn’t post in nearly every game thread.
Going forward, Pope either does his best Cal impersonation and keeps going with Williams ….or he shows us that he’s legit and pivots.
Oweh was weak too. Never seen a guy brick so many close range shots.
Oweh misses a LOT of point blank layups. It’s incredible to watch!
He’s 7 foot tall and was guarding a Buckeye 7 feet from the basket in the paint and didnt even jump to contest his shot.
Me too
I’ve never seen a guy try to rebound with 1 arm more than him. It would be entertaining to watch Cal lose his mind with him.
Speaks more to UK’s bigs than Bradshaw.
The ball just sticks with Amari when he gets it at the top. To be fair it doesn’t look like there is much movement either. I don’t know what Pope wants because it’s been going on for several games.
I don’t know about that. I expected Robinson to be “the man “ . Pretty close between those two .
But wasn’t a big part of Madison’s problem the fact he was 6’6” with no handle and no range?
Richard Madison was a first team parade All American with good outside range. He handled the ball fine. The problem with him was motivating him, sitting the bench didn’t bother him. Hall tried everything, nothing worked. He had all the tools, just not the get go to or want to to make it happen.
Master Blaster was all-everything coming out of high school, similar to James Blackmon and Brett Bearup. For decades it’s been demonstrated time and again that high school accolades don’t necessarily translate to success at the college level. Madison was 6’8” when he showed up in Lexington but similar to Winston Bennett somehow shrank to 6’6” by the time he finished at UK. Too short for a four, no range and no handle for a three or two.
He had the talent but didn’t put out, he was a bust in college. He did contribute, but not like he was projected to do. I never said he was a star, I said he had the ability to be one, but he didn’t care enough to reach his potential.
Absolutely not. Madison had a pretty nice handle . His main problem was ,he was lazy as shit and wanted to party all the time instead of concentrating on basketball.
I hate to bash the guy, but I haven't seen anything from him that would lead anyone to think he would have been defensive POY 3 times in any D1 conference. I can't remember him blocking 3 or 4 shots all year, rarely contests anything around the rim, and when you watch replays he is usually out of the plays under the basket. I was skeptical of his offensive abilities, but at least thought he would be a fierce rebounder and rim protector. Just my 2 cents worth.
This is true.
I remember when his team came up from Tennessee to play Henry Clay in Rupp . My dad took me to the game . The Miller kid (think he went to Western) from Henry Clay DOMINATED his lazy ass .
He was a predecessor of Alex Poythress in my opinion. Similar skills and builds. Both were as good if not better as freshman than they were as seniors. Kept waiting for them to finally "get it" but neither ever did.
That is the way I remember him. Plenty of talent, just no desire, lazy....like poythress was
