Calipari better pull a rabbitt out of the hat.

And if Okafor gets hurt, Duke doesn't win 20
games this year. If Davis gets hurt, UK doesn't win the title in 2012. You could play that damn game with any team in any year. You aren't being realistic at all.
Either way Cal has to add a couple guys. 9 scholarship players including Floral won't get it done. You have to have 10 to scrimmage and a couple more players as reserves to give starters a break.

I don't know who they would be.Maker and Murray seem unlikely and I don't know of anyone else we are recruiting.
 
Lol we have catpiss and wildcatdroppings. Need I say more? Bravo you guys are missing your true calling. Espionage.

Tell me the depth UK had behind harrellson on the final four team in 2011.[/QUOTE]You're depending on that? That team was remarkable, rarely got in foul trouble. That team had Jones, Harrellson and Miller across the front - as it stands, this team has Skal, Poy and Lee - not close.
 
Doesn't matter how deep we are, we are always one injury away from disaster.

Injuries are part of the game and more times than not its the team that avoids them completely that wins the title, not the team with enough depth to survive them.
 
Maybe, just maybe, a couple of schools will have some recruits who get out of their LOI's and we land one. I like having Ulis, Briscoe and Mulder in the back court.

But if Towns, WCS, Lyles etc. can't get #9, I'm not sure Skal, Willis, Poythress and Lee will be a better unit - not sure Mulder is better than Booker either.

Flawed logic.

I think most would agree that if wall, bledsoe, patterson, cousins couldn't get to a final four then knight, lamb, liggins, Jones and Harrelson had no shot in hell.

The 2014 team got further than the 2015 team.

The tourney is all about matchups. If we are discussing UNC and Kansas as the top teams, there probably isn't a bad match up for us. Those teams are mediocre and they choke. Nobody else's roster scares me. We have a top-3 player (granted he's eligible) and elite players to 7 deep.

We needed an elite wing to be the favorite. Now we're just a team with top 5 talent and a big ass chip on our shoulder.
 
Some fans on this board have lost their minds or are band wagon fans.Before Cal become our coach we would have had a celebration with a class like we just got,plus we have a very good group of players coming back.Relax cat fans and watch what our coach does to have a top five team

Of course it would be nice to have a ten deep roster comprised of only 5-star recruits. But it's not just about talent alone. I feel like team chemistry is a huge component to having a highly successful season. I'm interested in seeing how this group of players can mesh together on the court. They might surprise some of you.
 
pretty much sums it up for me. I know Cal likes a tight rotation... but there's only 9 scholarship players right now. That's counting EJ Floreal, who isn't gonna play. I mean... really.
I thought there was 10??????
Ulis
Lee
Poythress
Skal
Briscoe
Matthews
Mulder
Hawkins
Willis
Floreal

Not close? What? I think you have some nostalgia fog on your goggles there, buddy.

Freshman Skal should absolutely be comparable to freshman Jones. The kid is a star.

There's also no reason at all that senior Poy couldn't be as good or better than Jorts was. Freshman Poythress (the year he was featured as the main offensive guy in the post) averaged 11 and 6. Junior Jorts averaged 7.5 and 9 (his numbers trended up that year)

And you're thinking of senior Darius. As a junior, we still called him disappearious and there's no good reason why Junior Lee, finally not buried behind lottery picks, couldn't produce just as well.

UK needs another wing scorer... a legit scorer that can put the ball on the floor and/or shoot the 3. I don't think that's too much to ask nor do I think it's unreasonable to want that.

Definitely agree with this.

If we can get Murray, we are in business.

It's probably too much to hope for, though.

I don't think we NEED anything beyond a true SF but that aint happening . Would love to add Murray and or a big man who be the 4th guy inside and could play 5-10 minutes but it aint NEEDED as 3 bigs is lot to play as even this year we only played 3 really since Lyles played the 3. Towns , Dakari and WCS split the 4 and 5 with Lee getting a little time as the 4th man . I would like one more big so Willis can focus on the 3 which is more natural position at least on offense due to his touch from outside.

But as it is this team is at worst the 3rd or 4th best team and that is a great starting point and the rest of CBB is WAYYYYYYY DOWN.

Comes from a poster that had a thread to keep billy G. When he was on the hot seat to give him more time.

This. Hard to take someone's opinion serious when he wanted the drunk to bury our program even more than he did. We have a top 10 team right now and can possibly add Wynard mid season
 
We have no interior depth. I'm not convinced Poythress and Lee are going to get it done yet - there are even questions about Skal qualifying (we'll see about that).

We need a wing and another big desperately or it might be a bumpy ride.

As in the words of Coach Norman Dale..........we'll play who's on the court.

Your last sentence is the whole point of the thread - we currently don't have enough depth up front, there are no premier recruits left - Cal needs to pull a rabbit out of the hat.

Thanks for making my point for me.
