Blue/white game

Lot of buzz on Chandler in this KSR recap.

He's got hops man. And he's been out of the loop for two freaking years. He might be scary good.

 

[NociHTTP]

There playing against other good players though, so I think you can take away some stuff from it

It's not nearly the same thing as playing against guys you haven't seen. Other than isolated performances and behaviors, it's akin to playing homerun derby on The Show. We'll see what's real against Kentucky Wesleyan

They took the video down; maybe it will get edited and re-posted. They weren't saying he was going to be the same impact of Reed or Rob from last year necessarily but just kind of throwing it out there that maybe he's the one worth watching that could have a much bigger impact than any of us expected.

Why not?! Not a true fan! SHUN THE NONBELIEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! /s

Send me the Moola and I'll go

Hopefully that score is for a 20 minute scrimmage?

This is the weirdest thread I’ve read on here in a while. Five pages of complaints about them not scrimmaging and then updates on a scrimmage with threes flying left and right and then a score not even in the 70’s.

Again I’m just going to assume that’s for 20 minutes.

Was like 28-30 at halftime..

That was sarcasm by the way

Best part was one day this week MJ said that when they told him about this event, he convinced them to lower prices…unbelievably out of touch.

In the future just do all tickets through Ticketmaster for the Blue/White and BBM.

Charge 20 or 25 for all tickets. Sell 25k-30k tickets and raise between 500k-750k. The bigger crowds will also help the overall energy in the building for players and fans alike. They can raise extra money through experiences/raffles/etc.

I think MJ also said it would be 70-75% full on the radio. Based on the pictures I’d say it’s less than a third full. Horrible management/planning on countless levels.

No doubt and your idea would be much better and enjoyable, even a scrimmage with another school. Charge full price of $100 for a marquee opponent and split the revenue.

 

[Fox2monk]

Well I know they got a nice dance competition and fans shooting free throws blindfolded. Didn’t expect this level of incompetence

We really have bad upper management at Kentucky for events like this, no thinking whatsoever.

 

[Wonky]

He's got hops man. And he's been out of the loop for two freaking years. He might be scary good.

His ability to shake his defender 1on1 is what makes him unique on this particular team. Many were wondering if we had anyone who could create space. I’m not sure Chandler is that guy just yet, but from what I’ve seen he is the most likely candidate to become that guy.

 

[redbird51]

If Chandler can become a consistent contributor that’s adds another level this team can go up

Defense and turnovers is what will hold him back.

 

[ColonelCat]

I know wink wink

 

[Fox2monk]

Chandler is going to play a lot. He’s very good.

 

[Fox2monk]

Defense and turnovers is what will hold him back.

He’s still rusty but over the season he will be an important player I think.

 

[true blue1]

Take away’s from the scrimmage not many people attended but on the positive side Colin Chandler is tough the kid is going to need minutes. Garrison and Robinson also looked good. I know it was just a scrimmage but that’s my take.

 

[Fox2monk]

One thing we don’t have to worry about is shooting the ball that’s for sure.

Carr looked great, Williams is a beast but can’t shoot FT’s. Chandler will play a lot. Lots of shooters and I like how we talk on the court. Butler is a crafty solid PG.

Otega was kinda quiet but I loved how he played within himself and didn’t force much, he always looked to make the right pass especially in transition or in the post. He’s not selfish at all.

 

[mcwildcats04]

 

[Fox2monk]

Robinson is a stud flat out. He’s so smooth. All-SEC level player IMO.

 

[KentuckyMildCats]

Chandler - Carr - Robinson are gonna be vital

I think Butler, Robinson, and Chandler can all create space.

 

[ukfan041]

Chandler was so dynamic tonight and a real talent! Had a great time at the event and I’m sure 500k or so was raised for NIL. Ready for Wednesday…GBB!

 

[AJG-15]

Add butler to that list..

 

[AJG-15]

Ortega was kinda quiet but I loved how he played within himself and didn’t force much, he always looked to make the right pass especially in transition or in the post. He’s not selfish at all.

Good rebounder too . O needs more concentration and work in offense.

 

[AJG-15]

I agree. Williams hands especially on defense , willingness to rebound and stamina are going to be important.

 

[KentuckyMildCats]

Add butler to that list..

yeah his D and leadership will be huge

Rex type hops perhaps

Fair enough but then you can’t really have any huge issues either, it’s really just seeing who is aggressive and who isn’t, and who might further ahead than others

 

[Caveman Catfan]

People here complaining about other people raising money for NIL so that the complaining people can have what they want. That seems about typical.

 

[NociHTTP]

I don't see it about issues at all. It's not really even an exhibition. That's what made the whole thing stupid, charging that kind of money.

 

[Cleatortoises]

Half full is awful. If you had paid, would you have been happy with the product for the night?

Not in the least.

 

[NerlensCat]

I liked what I saw! Not extremely athletic. But 1-10 looked like they belong. Chandler is oozing with potential. Who knows, maybe the reason Mullins gave us the cold shoulder was more related to Chandler than Johnson…

100 percent agree, they should of just said we want NIL money, I would have respected it more

 

[Rockford]

I thought it pretty clear that that is EXACTLY what they said.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

They may have, it coulda been organized a little better

 

[Rockford]

They may have, it coulda been organized a little better

Absolutely...

 

[UKortho]

IMO, the Blue-White belongs to the fans and not an NIL event. They could have a separate event with meet and greets, autographs, and maybe an exhibition against somebody. If the players want the cash, they need to work extra events for it.
