Good grief he's a tall athletic freak!!!!! I think if he can get back on the court he'll be an absolute game changer
Yeah I haven't thought about him lately as I see this team really growing regardless but if we add him back into the mix it takes this team to a whole other level. He would be at worst the 3rd best player and could be the 2nd best.
Wrong. This player has been injured several times & you don't just walk on the court after sitting for months & make a team better. This guy will never live up to the expectations the fans have put on him.
The longer he is out the more unreal the expectations will be. He was never a great offensive player, but a real hustle guy who can play defense. We can definitley use that, but he will not take over a game.
.......continuing to try to work his way back.
Awful wordy, why not......working his way back.

name one person that's shoots jumpers when shooting foul shots
I mean I guess technically they didn't say the least encouraging thing they possibly could have said.
Technically.
If Vanderbilt can play this year, it is going to be a blessing, but to expect him to be our savior is unrealistic.
I'm not expecting much, especially early on. If he gets back in time to get some minutes in the SEC, then hopefully by March he can be a rotation player.

i mean i see the point but really who shoots free throws with their feet that far apart....
Depends on the person and what makes them comfortable. Some guys spread their legs some close them. Some even tilt their bodies sideways.
I used to play with a guy who always backed up about a foot away from the line to shoot his. In summer league teammate of mine would shoot with his off hand. Was a lefty but shot ft right handed.
99% of basketball players shoot FTs from the balls of their feet so the back portion of each foot rises.
I am wondering too. My observation about shooting FLATFOOTED was that he is not flexing his foot...as observed by CnR above, nearly all lift their heels and are basically up on their toes after they release. Heels on the ground tell me they do not want him flexing his foot....still....even under what I would assume to be very little stress. Maybe just timing of the photo. Hope that is all.
Has anyone observed his walk? That was a big issue with KAT.
That's a still photo shot. Who's to say where he was in the process? Could have bent his knees, went up on the balls of his feet and kept his head still. Could have done a pirouette for all we know!
Idiotic response from a new poster who will claim he has been here for decades and knows more than everyone else....
In his first dozen posts he has managed to call other posters morons and shit on Cal and the OAD in the rest. GFY
Not only is he not running, he's not moving!! He just stands there flat footed!! Can't you see?! I'll be surprised if he ever plays again. Poor guy.
Correct. Unlikely JV plays this year. And since Calipari has only shown interest in 1 true forward in this class, it suggests he expects JV back next year.
I honestly feel that if he can’t be back by SEC play then he should sit for the year. Number of reasons: make sure he’s fully healthy for his sake, make sure he’s fully healthy for the teams sake...and then there is the concern of disrupting chemistry if he comes in too late. I don’t care how good he is, that’s incredibly important
I think he was referring to the fact that he wasn't on his toes. He has been shooting stationary and flat footed. If he isn't doing weight bearing activities yet, then it will be awhile before he can return.
well the ball is almost to the rim, i dont know many that stay on their toes after the shot, so basically you can only garner so much info from a snap shot

Coach Payne isn't even watching! It's clear he has no business being a D1 coach, he doesn't care about these kids, and already has one foot out the door for a new job. It's also clear he is embarrassed to be seen in Kentucky blue. This picture is all I need, I hope Cal left him in Lexington to pack up his stuff.
Also his socks aren't pulled up to the same height so you can tell there is an issue for sure
