Did he have any desire to come here? Staff want him? Would have been a nice addition.

Figures.UK apparently did not want him.
Typical Cal recruiting blunder. He doesn’t want to take minutes from anyone already here so he doesn’t do anything. This kid could have played here and maybe Oscar could have been a PF. I don’t know but Cal should have tried for the kid. He was a proven good player.Figures.
So would Ugonna...2.6 blocks a game. We could have really really used that. He would have complemented Oscar so well.
Many people here thought he would be a bad fit, because we already had Oscar playing down low. I really wanted Broome and thought the staff could make it work. He was not going to sit wherever he went.UK apparently did not want him.
There is no comparison ... !!Broome is worlds better than Ugonna right now.
Pitino did the same thing with Ron Mercer. We never really took off until he made the decision to start Derek Anderson and bring Mercer off the bench.Cal makes promises when recruiting. Don't listen to his BS that he doesn't. Look at Livingston starting and not playing the 4 and Nick Richards starting every game his freshman year even when he only played 21/2 minutes. It's pretty obvious what happens.
I wouldn’t trade Oscar or Ugonna for him .Did he have any desire to come here? Staff want him? Would have been a nice addition.
Which is crazy, he’s really good and would be a top notch forward option for us. That would mean Livingston would only play the 3 but dude is skilled and productive.UK apparently did not want him.
Why couldn’t we have all three? Onyenso has basically wasted a year of his eligibility IMO. He could’ve redshirted and Oscar and Broome played together. Roster management sucks to say the least.I wouldn’t trade Oscar or Ugonna for him .
It would have been fantastic to redshirt Onyenso at the rate he has played this year. I agree 100%. Why we don’t recruit more guys like him and red shirt them I’ll never understand. We never have to worry about eligibility under Cal that’s for sure.Why couldn’t we have all three? Onyenso has basically wasted a year of his eligibility IMO.

You could, I’m betting Broome wouldn’t want to sit behind Oscar and Toppin. But I’m just guessing .Why couldn’t we have all three? Onyenso has basically wasted a year of his eligibility IMO. He could’ve redshirted and Oscar and Broome played together. Roster management sucks to say the least.
I heard them say on the radio a week or so ago that the staff had to convince Ugonna at the start of the season that he was worthy of being at KY. Said he didn’t feel like he was good enough. And we’re bragging about the strides he has made.It would have been fantastic to redshirt Onyenso at the rate he has played this year. I agree 100%.

Probably not but it would be nice to have a lineup with each one in it. Wouldn’t have to stress about Oscar fouling out every game because he’s so capable in the post. Cal is so stubborn about playing the right lineup at least we would own the glass and probably have more help defending the rim.You can’t play broome and Oscar together
Why not? What happened to positionless basketball? I’d just as well see Broome and Oscar on the floor together as Oscar and Livingston most of the time.You can’t play broome and Oscar together
It would, but we all know cal would have tried to force them together, and it wouldn’t workProbably not but it would be nice to have a lineup with each one in it.

You wanna play two dudes who stand in the paint with wheller and have even less spacing than they do nowWhy not? What happened to positionless basketball? I’d just as well see Broome and Oscar on the floor together as Oscar and Livingston most of the time.
No I don’t want to play Wheeler. I figure out a way to play both guys as many minutes as I can. After the 2015 roster that was loaded top to bottom I would think getting minutes for Broome wouldn’t have been a problem. Beats the alternative which is what we have now.You wanna play two dudes who stand in the paint with wheller and have even less spacing than they do now
I agree, but cal would try to force wheeler in there. He would put a lineup of wheeler, wallce, Livingston, oscar and broome and teams would never leave the paintNo I don’t want to play Wheeler.

Yep. Triple C is the problem.I agree, but cal would try to force wheeler in there. He would put a lineup of wheeler, wallce, Livingston, oscar and broome and teams would never leave the paint
Would be like playing Oscar and Lance together, which I don’t think many want.No I don’t want to play Wheeler. I figure out a way to play both guys as many minutes as I can.

Except Broome isn’t Lance.Would be like playing Oscar and Lance together, which I don’t think many want.
All I’ve heard is how we want to space the floor more. Which I agree with. Don’t want to have 2 centers trying to figure it out.Except Broome isn’t Lance.
I get what you’re saying and under better circumstances I would agree but this team is a mess. It’s the first of February and guys look like they just met at tip-off. Spacing is awful, no one on the same page, questionable lineups, can’t defend ball screens. So I’d take any and all help.All I’ve heard is how we want to space the floor more. Which I agree with. Don’t want to have 2 centers trying to figure it out.
better than playing Oscar & Ware togetherYou can’t play broome and Oscar together
just like not going after a scoring point guard which some pretty good ones were available in the protalTypical Cal recruiting blunder. He doesn’t want to take minutes from anyone already here so he doesn’t do anything. This kid could have played here and maybe Oscar could have been a PF. I don’t know but Cal should have tried for the kid. He was a proven good player.
For sure, but it would still be really hard to play them togetherbetter than playing Oscar & Ware together
at least Broome is productive
