Crystal ball for Magoon Gwath to UK!
- Thread starter University-6
- Start date
If he can develop a post game (low volume 3 point shooter, he only hit .7 3s per game on 1.7 attempts), and perfect the lob finish, he can get his ppg in the 12-13 per game area. Potential to be a 12/8 with 3 blocks per game next year, and maybe continue to grow those stats beyond. He has battled injuries, so hopefully that is not a problem at UK, we have had enough of that.
Damn, no one tell him that in a Kentucky jersey, 1.9 fouls actually equals 3.9 fouls...
I didn't call you out specifically. Only after you mentioned. There were others and they are in many threads outside of this one as well. And they aren't just about transferring.
No surprise you don't think it's wrong. Nobody is ever wrong these days.
Garrison, Moreno, Gwath, and Folgeuiras would be a very solid frontcourt rotation.
Without me having to look at film, can MG play the 4 as next season’s Carr?
Moreno/ Garrison -5
MG/ Portal PF -4
Or is this guy coming in for Amari’s offensive facilitator role?

I think pope will slightly change the system and make 4 to be offensive engine
Could see him taking the Amari role but has the versatility get minutes at the 4
Still need 1 more due to sec officials. If we can’t get Lendenborg I would like Bowen. Another strong 6’10 kid.
Tipton is one of the few actual insiders in recruiting. He gets his info from the kids and their camp from his time doing the ever popular tipton edits. So this is very good news.
My son is convinced he is closer to a 4 than a 5. I'm not convinced though.
He would be fine at the 4 (Pope prefers shooting and ability to extend out to the 3 point line) provide scoring / rebounding if he had someone like Gwath at the 5. Now I agree if you had 2 similar players at the 4 and 5, but with a rim protector at the 5, I would much rather have a versatile 4. He averaged 14/9/3 with over 1 steal and 1 block per game. 15/10/4 with 1 steal and 1 block against Alabama's front line is pretty damn good. He had 5 offensive and 5 defensive rebounds against one of the better front courts in the college game. Alabama was super long and athletic up front. He more than held his own on BOTH ends of the floor.
Based on his size, playing style, and picture we call him Sir!
When he makes a good play in Rupp a good ol' "maGOOOOOOOOOOOOOON" is no doubt coming though.

It's still strange to me that this is all legal now.
That $1000 cash in an envelope from Emery seems comedic in today's way of the world.
I see him being a 5. He was not a high volume 3 point shooter, he only attempted 1.7 making .7, he is not a guy who will camp out beyond the line. Most of his points will come on rim running and put backs off of offensive rebounds. He is NOT ready to be made a focal point or run plays for him yet. he needs to be a lunch pail, do the dirty work (rebound, block shots, clean up inside on offense) kind of player.
I like 3 fives on the roster. Gwath and Alvaro are different types so we need Alvaro because he can shoot, pass, drive and rebound exceptionally well. Pope mentioned we needed different kinds of players with different strength skills so Gwath fills that shot blocking void and can help dominate the boards if we get a couple of the others we are looking good with.
The Blue Magoon?
Tom Leach gonna have to take speech lessons
The "200k" for AD sounds like a steal now!
Magoon has skills, lenght, can shoot, handle a bit, pretty versatile . He is going to be great next to Moreno, which I see stronger inside. He can play both 5 and stretch 4.
He had the growth spur 6’2 as freshman and 6’10 as Sr and then grew one more inch in college. He redshirted before last year due to surgery. He will need to get stronger but working on that. He was 185 when he got in college and now about 205. He plans to be 215 lbs by the begging of next season.
What I like about him, he has guards skills and IQ in 7 Ft body!!! He has a chance if he stays healthy and gets stronger to become really special. I can see him NBA in the future.
If Garrison stays he will probably play 4.
Moreno 5 / Garrison 5
Magoon 4 / Portal

Critchfields hot bar should take care of that. Meat Loaf, Fried Chicken, Mash Potatoes and Corn Bread every day.
That’s some good stuff there man. Fries chicken there is legit.
It is for sure. Grew up with the Critchfield boys at church, like family to us. Great guys! My nephew is working there now.
YES back to Dude
Thought about that many times
And ridiculous "shame" campaign
PLUS --- a 2 year (???) "Television Ban"
^ shit is no longer in existence nor is it even Possible anymore
MR. MAGOON not only blocks shots, but appears to handle himself well in the open court .
It would be nice having a big man who can actually play above the rim.
I read earlier this kid was asking for 1-1.5 million. Impossible to confirm but that's what those who are in the business of knowing those sorts of things were saying.
Couldn’t be. We are searching for spare change trying to pay these guys according to you
In the highlight video I watched (TIFWIW), Gwath showed appreciable athleticism for his height and frame, including the ability to post up and the shooting touch to score even when forced away from the basket. What I really liked, though, was that because of his height, he draws a double team in the paint, and on at last one play he held the ball up high till the help came and then kicked out smartly to an open shooter. Respectable low-volume three-point shooting, but above all, rim protection: a sultan of swat.
