Matt all you have to do is preface your comments with "keep this in GYERO..." and you should be fine
I was wondering how excited you guys would get after hearing about TWO 7 footers on the court together 😂😂😂

I appreciate that. I always say what I believe. When I am not able to say what I believe (which is rare to be honest bc we have been successful enough that iHeart usually backs me), I say nothing.
Things are better with UK now overall than they have been in a long time. The basketball component is separate and really based solely on Calipari’s personal feelings. It is what it is
Pretty telling- and not all that surprising to analytics nerds- why these throwback bigs are varying degrees of unsuccessful.
It’s counter intuitive to see a guy putting up Oscar’s stats actually being detrimental to your team, but I’m open to the argument. We started getting beat again when K State started feasting on pick-n-rolls.

ESPN.com has basically had the Women’s NCAA Tournament (which is airing on their own channel) pinned to the top of their site for a week, even while the men’s (which is not) tournament is playing. Lol.

Maybe why we keep landing 3-4 per class? Every other successful coach has realized you only need 1, 2 max on the roster then load the boat on guards, guards and more guards.
Meanwhile our dopey coach foolishly brags on-air about doing THE SAME DAMN THING next season, the after day the team that bounced him showed him the blueprint on how to win in todays game
Either he really does believe that and is so damn stubborn in his ways that nothing is going change. Or he is just trolling the BBN and once again poking the bear, ala “I haven’t seen him” which I’m convinced he was doing just to piss us off.Maybe why we keep landing 3-4 per class?

If it is the former there is no hope for him. If it’s the latter he can go ahead and eff the eff off, GTFO, DIAF & SMD
Two 7 footers? Hell yes!
If one can bring the ball up the court and can also stretch the defense.
All in!

Watch Sam crush the Oscar argument.
Maybe we can get Collins some run at the 3 while we’re at it?
Nothing's changing. What we are is what we are. Welcome to the GD terror dome.

I love Adou Thiero as a prospect. I *hate* that Cal considers him a guard. He's a perfect combo forward for the modern game. He should have role like Boris Diaw for the Spurs -- not be a back-up point guard.
I think Vecenie goes over the top in his criticism of Oscar. You absolutely can win a title with Oscar as your center -- if you have the guys around him to spread the floor.
Vecenie is 100% spot on about it how garbage our roster management is.
Hearing Calipari talking about playing two seven footers together next year when we had 2 healthy guards in the tournament this year makes me want to vomit. If we had another shooting guard on the bench to sub for Reeves, we almost certainly would have won on Saturday.
I hope we keep Reeves and go spend the rest of the scholarships available on 6'3 transfer guards who can shoot.

- 6 guards (variety of PG, SG, combo guards)
- 4 wings/forwards
- 2 bigs
- Leave one spot open in case you get the opportunity to take a transfer
- 2 walk-ons (preferably from KY, not Cal’s buddy son)

Banging your head against a wall would be a more productive use of your time than discussing what Cal should do.
I LOL’d at the end of that segment when he said something like “someone needs to get in Cal’s ear and tell him this”
-Ruh Roh. Lord Saban has spoken on the Brandon Miller saga in a scathing way. Sounds like he feels the same way as anyone with a heart and isn't too happy with watering down the brand over a secondary sport.
-Time for Nate to do a rehab assignment and be ready for the big time.
-WBC has turned into a pretty good event. Crowds have been awesome. Hopefully they keep building on this one. That walkoff last night 😲
-I absolutely believe the Oscar/Cal stuff. In fact it's been pretty obvious most of the season. How else do explain the Oscar from last year to this year? What seems to make the most logical sense, Oscar let the big time get to his head, came in lazy and out of shape, and wasn't being a leader and teammate like you'd expect the returning NPOY that just lost to St Peters. Then you have a whole separate issue where your returning 2x SEC assist leader, and leader of the team, also out of shape, becomes nearly unplayable to the point the fan base audibly groans when he's put in the game, so he got benched and quits the team. I don't know anything here is a huge secret.
-Cool to bag on Oscar, but he was constantly put in a position to fail, and the roster around him doesn't compliment his skill set. He's a garbage man and we made him a focal point. If you're gonna have a guy like that, you need 4 other 3&D guys. Then let him go hunt boards and put backs. Jus tlike early last season when we were mainly running stuff for Tyty and Grady. Instead he constantly played with at least 3 players being baited into taking jump shots and were average to very bad on D. My theory is, you need 3 legit scorers on the floor at any given time. Probably needs to be 3 legit shooters more than scorers. The main point absolutely NOT running your offense through a big on the post. Secondary point, and Cal to his credit addressed it, having a PG that can't shoot or get to the rim.
-But we're absolutely getting Bradshaw with another big. It's just gonna happen. DJ, Edwards, Bradshaw are starting for sure. Livingston if he returns. I'm skeptical Dillingham ever plays here, which I don't really care anyway. That gives you 2 scorers unless Livingston takes a big step, no real consistent threats from outside, and no known defensive "dawgs".
-I would pay a large sum of money to watch Mark Stoops beat the shit out of Shane Beamer. That little thumb would get stomped. He'd end up with a face like his dad.

Call me a racist but I'd pay good money for us to have one or two 3* honks on that roster that are a complete liability on defense, can barely touch the rim, only dog they have is a golden retriever but can shoot the asshole out of a tick from 35' away. That too much to ask?
^^ will only work if you run plays for them… which we refuse to do
I see Dillingham either not playing or quitting soon after some turmoil. He’s a streaky, somewhat puny guard and his people thought playing for a Kanye West was the right move. I wouldn’t be too upset about losing him.
Didn't we all know what was coming once we suffered thru the horror that was our game vs Michigan St in the Champions Classic?
It was a healthy roster and yet the man still couldn't resist playing multiple bigs and non-scorers together at the same time.
The man just can't help himself.
The only hope is that he transitions from being being focused on proving everyone that he's right in terms of style of play and is more upset at being called a loser.

Speaking of rehab assignments, is Sean Miller working his way back in the list?
I’d take Miller in a heartbeat. He fits the prototype perfectly. Experienced, won at a P5 school (multiple for him), no championship yet. These were all characteristics of pitino, tubby, and cal.
I can’t imagine a worse fit for Cal than Dillingham. A small, offense first showboating guard that thrives on outside shooting and run and gun?? Lol, ok, I’m sure it’ll work out great. 😂
DJ Wagner is actually a perfect fit for how Cal likes to play.

Sean Miller is literally willing to commit felonies, conspire, and engage in corruption and illegal payment schemes in order to win. That's a HUGE plus in my book. Puts him squarely behind Nate Oats at #2, but only because Oats is obviously willing to go even a bit further to win. #murder
1. Drew
2. Miller
3. Oats
If Jay Wright is interested, then he jumps to number one.

Y’all forgetting that Tyreke Evans was involved in a murder? Cal was ok with that and we were ok with Cal.
Looking at the lineup next year and trying to figure out who will be the player that clashes with Cal halfway through the year and they never resolve it, and who will be the guy who mysteriously doesn't finish the season for unknown reasons.
It’s clear after all these years that even if Livingston comes back what will be put in his head is “this is what you need to work on to get to the next level” regardless of what the team needs are or what his defined role will be. It’s a shift to egocentric thinking without thought to implementation. It’s a flawed way to approach the season and leads to confusion, reluctance to accept a role, and distrust in the coach. It’s why Toppin started the first half of the season shooting fadeaway jumpers like he was MJ and Oscar was trying post moves like he was Hakeem the Dream and then they’re all scowling at him from the bench. You have to start with team needs and work your way down to individual goals. It’s basic common sense FFS
