Yep, I loved his comments. I posted in the other thread with the post-game interviews about his comments around the 9 minute mark of the video where he just had these amazing comments about the goal being to win #9. It wasn't just the usual cliche comments. You could tell he really meant it. Spoke about it with a true passion and intent.
Spot on post Ron.
Might have to be mine. It's so hard to pick a favorite player from this team, though.
Yes, yes, yes!!! Everytime one of the players speak, I just love them more and more. This is truly a very special group of guys! Their pride in playing for Kentucky is really genuine. You can tell it comes from the ❤.
There isn’t a single guy in our rotation I wouldn’t welcome back. Sure beats the days of having dead weight at the end of the bench (sorry for the strays, Joey Hart).
I don't think you need say anything else about the difference between the previous coach and Coach Pope.
The way these players feel about playing for Coach Pope at UK verses the previous years under you know who
I love that kid, he’s awesome. I hope he gets even more minutes because he can flat out shoot the rock too.
I know I really want a 00 jersey. Every time I seen Almonor I’m just like I need his too.
I agree with what you’ve said and I think he should play more. He has only played 64 minutes in 5 games.
38% 3pt shooting on the year. He’s about as good backup pf as you could’ve expected
Be great if we could get him back, especially since we can no longer count on Oweh coming back as he's looking more like a 1st round pick all the time.
Seems like he’s shooting 50/60% from 3. Idk why that is. Every time he shoots it feels like it’s going in!
Honestly that’s the feeling I have with every player on the floor for UK this season. So freaking refreshing.
I like it or I want Brea where Robinson is at. Both play similar but Brea is a little better at this point I think. I am talking about the slimmest of margins.
From 2014 until now, I will just say that I liked quite a few of those teams. Maybe not the way they were coached, but the teams themselves, hell yeah.
We've come a long way from Cason Wallace saying ""we want to go far into our college season and get out of there as soon as possible"
I agree, he is one of my favorites this year too. I love it when he enters the game as he brings so much energy and is just a positive force. Now to read this quote, how can you not be a fan.
He not only has textbook form on his jump shot, he does make a good number of them and when he shoots, we all should get the feeling it is going in. He also brings -- much like our entire team -- a toughness and savvy about the game that will bode well for his only season here. We need every positive contribution he can make. Along with being an elite shooter, I think he should be challenged to become a rebounding force. With his body, he could be an Oscar Tschiebwe lite, at least as a rebounder. Defensively, he is very solid and I am always glad to see him enter a game. You will probably also agree that there is something about him that draws us to him, that makes us want him to do well just because -- more than other reasons -- he does appreciate being here. Reading his words laced with a humility that some people, like Calipari for example, can never know, is super refreshing and makes you want to root for him even more. He is another valuable piece on this team, worthy of binge watching, and I am drawn to him even more now like many of you. With some people in life, you just feel more chemistry and affection -- I'm certainly glad he chose us to close out his collegiate career. Interestingly, Ansley and all of these guys have an "Unforgettables" vibe with compelling stories on who they are and how they have found their way here.
