Yes!

We have plenty of FR in this class with talent. Garrison, Oweh, Perry and Noah will be back and with a few more portal transfers instead of FR we are better off.

If anyone should know you can’t win with FR it should be UK fans!

Oweh coming back next year could very well make us a title contender. Long way to go obviously but I think having him and Garrison back are vitally important.

Some roster continuity is importing especially with how complex our offense probably can be for a first year guy. Hopefully neither of them get a 2nd round guarantee that they want to take.

Hopefully none of the freshman go in the portal either.

Our first shot defense feels like it has been adequate. Those second and even 3rd attempts we give teams are killer. Too many are ball watching instead of looking to block out.

Getting a rebound off of one shot is getting increasing rare and it drives me nuts.

We're good, not great, in each of the 4 factors defensively except for turnovers. Offensive rebounds hurt so bad not just due to their frequency, we've played some dominant offensive rebounding teams in recent games that inflates that issue, but because we force so little turnovers. Defending the shot and getting the board is our only route to ending possessions. Even then, our shot defense inside the arc isn't nearly good enough to overcome the total absence of production in a category as important as turnovers.
