Disappointing crowd size. I have been their many times and it was always packed.

Still love that Shaka spent so much time recruiting him.

Was planning on making the trip but had to stay with my Mother tonight (she is 95) & could not get any of my sisters or brother to help.

6-17 isn't the way you want to introduce yourself to your fan base. Let's hope he has a great game in a day or two whenever his next one is

Keldon is just one of those players that wins no matter what he's up against

The Friday night games have never been full the couple times I went. Didn't fill up til the 2nd session Saturday.

Oh, come on. It's 1 stat in 1 meaningless high school game after a long trip to get there. KJ is a legit big time wing scorer, and we are lucky to have him.

6-17 fg?

Yikes.

Well 4 of Johnson FGA were on 1 series. He was battling multiple defenders under the basket. There was a lot of contact going on and he was simply out working guys while just trying to keep the ball alive on the backboard. If he had simply made the first outback attempt he would have been 6-14.

As an aside, the Kansas big man McCormack and the Oregon signee Richardson were very impressive. McCormack appeared to have lost weight. He was very active and strong against a very big front line.

Your heart is in the right place. Enjoy your parents while you can.

what part of my post sounded like an ultimatum ?

6-17 fg?

Yikes.

Cal needs to recruit guys who go 17-17 every game like Coach K.

Reports from Twitter and other sites say that despite poor shooting, he showed great hustle on the defensive end and rebounding. He didn't let a bad shooting night affect other parts of his game. To me, that is encouraging.

Well that is just great. It also means he got over half of his 7 rebounds on one trip down the court. Must be a tad lazy, rebounding is effort and position.

And he spent close to an hour taking pictures and signing autographs after the game. With a smile the whole time. I’m gonna like this guy.

Love his grit here.

Now we start bashing a kid before he even plays a game for us.Nice.

Sorry to say we have too many miserable fans like this. When somebody says why wouldn't any kid want to come to UK, I think of them.

F**k fg percentages, did you see his free throws? We all know most UK fans care how you do at the charity stripe and I'll take 3 out of 4 everyday of the week and twice in March.

Oak Hill Coach Steve Smith also told me that Keldon Johnson is shooting about 37% from 3-point range this season. Outside shot definitely improving.

 

[Bluewest]

Disappointing crowd size. I have been their many times and it was always packed.

It was a 4:00 game on a Friday, a lot of people were still at work.

 

[AnarchoNeoLuddite]

Next game out and his FG percentage is anything below 50% fans should just go ahead and stone him. wildcatstl wont stand for anything less.

His next game is tonight at the hoopf est. I was at the game, Johnson did not have a great game and at least for that game did not look like the best player on the floor. I will trust those that have seen him multiple times that he is deserving of his lofty ranking

not me...i trust message board posters who are all 6'6", played and coached the game, and "know" basketball

I may have dated your Mom when we were Teens!

You think thats the performance that he wanted in front of BBN for the first time?

a one game performance great or bad should never determine where a player is ranked....... it should take many games so you can get a better understanding. I mean he has had several great games so far this year already ...

its just like i effing said... this isnt the way a competitor wants to show out for the first time in front of his new fan base..... BUT MENTALLY WEAK BABIES in this thread are so INSECURE that they assume you are attacking the very fiber of his ability and manhood.

Final: Oak Hill Academy 97, Tennessee Prep 67. Keldon Johnson had 15 points and 5 rebounds. 6-for-7 from the floor.

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

Much much better performance last night


Oak hill destroyed that tenn team in the first 5 minutes of the game... it was a beauty to watch.

Really wish they would of made him option number one while in front of BBN. But instead the UF and KU kids got the ball in their hands the most

 

[EliteBlue]

Love his grit here.

How that second one wasn't a foul is beyond me

Thank you Coach Cal for putting your 2 cents in.
