I'd think so.If Carr and Robinson put up those numbers that's pretty close to All-SEC star level, isn't it?
If that to be the case I agree.If Carr and Robinson put up those numbers that's pretty close to All-SEC star level, isn't it?
I think he will also. The kid has a great work ethic and can shoot lights out.Travis Perry is going to surprise some people.
How many players average double figures for us this season?
Interesting. Not bad but he's quite bearish on Amari Williams. Hope he's wrong there.

Did they list all of the schools who took seven or more players? I'm interested to see the type of players those schools had v. the players we have acquired.Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander mentioned this. After listening to them, Parrish made some pretty good points about why Kentucky shouldn't be ranked. Namely, that all teams who took more than 7 transfers last season (except NCSU) were pretty much duds last season.
Obviously, Kentucky is an extreme scenario this season when it comes to transfers, but my expectations are tempered. Just so many new guys on same roster.
It looks like he only projects what he expects to be the top ten contributors. I think this is purely a statistical projection based on whatever variables he uses and he isn’t making adjustments from that. I’ve read that his system is low on Almonor because of the average quality of opponent he played against. The same thing probably applies to Williams compared to Garrison.I hate to pick this apart. But:
- has either of our C's only playing 1/2 the game (51%); in fact he has 27mpg with either Robinson or Oweh or Chandler playing the PF/4.
- has Garrison playing > 2X Williams, Williams only 6mpg when most of us expect him to start & play at least 20mpg
- Almonor and Noah are missing. Noah mpg may be low like Perry. But Almonor is our only backup PF so should play some.
- I think his minutes for Carr (32.4), Kriisa (27.6) & Chandler (11.6) may each be 3-5mpg high, and

Excellent stats! Great work.I found the list of schools who had 7+ transfers last season:
Arkansas (7 transfers): 16-17 (6-12)
Memphis (10 transfers): 22-10 (11-7)
Arizona St. (7 transfers): 14-18 (8-12)
UCF (7 transfers): 17-16 (7-11) *First year in the Big 12
West Virginia (10 transfers): 9-23 (4-14)
Penn St. (9 transfers): 16-17 (9-11)
St. Johns (9 transfers): 20-13 (11-9)
NC State (7 transfers): 26-15 (9-11)
Only four teams had winning records, and only two with in-conference winning records. NC State was the lone exception to a bad season, making it to the Final Four.
Then did he think Nelson would do nothing at Alabama last year, or that Schierman would have done nothing at Creighton 2 years ago. I'm not saying Williams is comparable (impactwise) to those 2, but I don't think he's that far behind. He has the size of a high-major C, and he was Defensive POY in his conference. As for Almonor, I get it. He is short (6'7) for his position. I think though he will have to play some (more than the FR) simply because we only have 4 guys (him being 1 of them) who can play the 5 or 4 spots, and I don't see Pope the type to play a guy (Carr) 35mpg.It looks like he only projects what he expects to be the top ten contributors.

I expect a little more than that from Garrison and Williams.Interesting. Not bad but he's quite bearish on Amari Williams. Hope he's wrong there.
