Maggard’s return as MeManBoy is much like WWE’s Gold Dust as Dustin Rhodes. Everyone knew it was him but he wants us to pretend we don’t.
Owes? No.He owes it to UK for his medical year he wasted this year by getting injured. Come back and compete, then if he doesn’t play he can go. Would be interesting to see him back, but he wants to play.
Legendary for being the target of an all time classic fan in the stands sign. Anybody else remember the NC State guy who added the "-ly gay" appendage to the dook girl's "JJ is Reddickulous"?Legend is a strong word for JJ Redick
Just real quick JJ has been retired for 4 years lol but he was a very very good nba player at his peak. Not great but damn good. the kinda guy who is expected with a pick of 10-20 rank.While quick is valued, it is not primary. There are plenty of SMART players that add value to the team. JJ Reddick is still playing and was in the same vein as Reed.
the portal is a must especially for programs who recruit elite HS kids . As you need experience though with a guy like Thiero around here for a few more years and guys like Perry who are 3-4 year kids we might have a little of that too.Nah, 19 people disagree with you in this thread already.
We love the portal. You don't, but you don't speak for the majority.
Same, his recruitment has a similar feel to Ron hollands, where they acted like they were interested in college, but they knew the whole time they going to g league or overtime leaguei have said for a while that IMHO Knox will never play CBB
no sources, just my gut feeling
The portal is the best way to consistently be an elite team now. You get refined, older college ready players who have already produced. Match that with the young NBA talent we get and it’s the best way to build a roster easy.Nah, 19 people disagree with you in this thread already.

I feel like that as well, like he’s only visiting 2 schools and has never really had a long list, no rumors about him. Just seems like he’s wanted to go pro route more than school.Same, his recruitment has a similar feel to Ron hollands, where they acted like they were interested in college, but they knew the whole time they going to g league or overtime league

That would make me tingle just like this current class did before the season started. I don't want to get too excited, too early though.Still don’t think we get Edgecombe, but I hope I am wrong.
The main thing is getting Sheppard back, which I think is possible.
Love to see this:
PG Sheppard/Fland
SG Edgecombe/Perry/Hart
SF Knox/Richmond
PF Thiero/Burks
C Quaintance/Cyril
That’s a contender. Sheppard could be NPOY next season.
Not sure on Knox. Suspect we will need to go to portal for another PG, SG and SFStill don’t think we get Edgecombe, but I hope I am wrong.

There's a picture of that somewhereLegendary for being the target of an all time classic fan in the stands sign. Anybody else remember the NC State guy who added the "-ly gay" appendage to the dook girl's "JJ is Reddickulous"?
Nope, that moron predicted Reeves would spend the season on the bench.(He says as he cheers on Antonio Reeves and Tre Mitchell who we certainly would not be Top-10 without)
Except you said Reeves would suck this year. LOLAgreed. But still the portal experiment should end.
Even being glad we have those guys.
Give me edgecomb or Peterson and a grad transfer like reeves or close to it and they should be good next yearI feel like that as well, like he’s only visiting 2 schools and has never really had a long list, no rumors about him. Just seems like he’s wanted to go pro route more than school.
JK was a fantastic college player. I need to go wash my mouth out with soap now.Just real quick JJ has been retired for 4 years lol but he was a very very good nba player at his peak. Not great but damn good. the kinda guy who is expected with a pick of 10-20 rank.
If we get either one of those we will be good. I’d rather get VJ and have Peterson the next year.Give me edgecomb or Peterson and a grad transfer like reeves or close to it and they should be good next year
I would as well, but I think Peterson ultimately reclassesIf we get either one of those we will be good. I’d rather get VJ and have Peterson the next year.
No doubt as soon as he puts on a UK uniform he'll start doing soft finger rolls around the rim and laying it off the backboard.
Cooper Flagg is a legit great basketball player not simply a physically imposing figure like Zion Williamson or Marvin Bagley. We could outclass them 2-7 and Flagg would still to be tough to beat. And Schreyer hasn't been stingy surrounding him with help. Duke is going to be tough with or without Edgecombe. They aren't a lock -- like UCLA with Alcindor -- but they're heavy favorites.I was looking at the Duke message board a week or 2 back & their fans seems to think that VJ is Kentucky bound...... If we could get ourselves a stretch 4 to add to this class, we would be loaded again. That along with 5 or 6 of our current players returning.
Heavy favorites??? lol ok. They won’t be any better than us.Cooper Flagg is a legit great basketball player not simply a physically imposing figure like Zion Williamson or Marvin Bagley.

Lol It is tougher to get that off in college though because of spacing and more size in college .No doubt as soon as he puts on a UK uniform he'll start doing soft finger rolls around the rim and laying it off the backboard.
I hope not, but seems like that's what happens. 😄
I think Thiero is our main 4 on next year’s team with Burks backing him up. Quaintance also can play the 4.I was looking at the Duke message board a week or 2 back & their fans seems to think that VJ is Kentucky bound......

we have HartI think Thiero is our main 4 on next year’s team with Burks backing him up. Quaintance also can play the 4.
We should be pretty set at the 4 and 5 spots with Thiero, Quaintance, Cyril, and Burks. Onyenso and Ivisic are still up in the air as well.
I think the bigger need is another wing that can shoot, even if we get Edgecombe.

Do you think Hart is going to get any run next season? I have my doubts. I don’t see him contributing until his Junior or Senior year, if he sticks around.we have Hart
i agree we need 1 more shooter
i think he willDo you think Hart is going to get any run next season? I have my doubts. I don’t see him contributing until his Junior or Senior year, if he sticks around.
Hart won’t play serious minutes at UK and likely transfers at some point.i think he will
this year we are just loaded with 4 guards that all may play in the NBA
IMO flagg looks like another guy who got ranked high because he was beating up on U16 comp. He'll be Matthew Hurt 2.0.That was very interesting to watch. Let's hope this guy is just so-so. It's possible.
Which is why we need Edgecombe (or another elite guard) to go with Sheppard.I think Shep Stays unless a lottery, But that ain't happening. Sheps stock goes down after his second year. This team makes Shep better than he probably is. Take Dilly, Waggoner and Trey away and Shep isn't having the season he's had. Next years team with Shep and Perry will make shep look. When good defenders lock down on Shep he'll struggle.
Every player makes mistakes from time to time. The kid has a great shot and loves to attack. If you judge players only by mistakes there are no good players.
Lifers unite!!!!
