I wonder why he wants to go THERE. Because they have the better record? Is it Rick's pre-game and halftime speeches? Was Rick back-channeling him? Just VERY ODD (to me) that this conversation is taking place when the Cats are supposedly fighting for their tourney lives, and it was THAT TEAM. Something seems off.
The media does not have to talk about everything the players talk about. But integrity in the media has been absent for years. So, anything and everything an 18 to 22 year old says is up for passing along, I suppose. Maybe the leaks are financially motivated, I'm not sure, but goodness knows if all the crap I said at 20 that I didn't mean was published, that would have been interesting. Nobody cared what I thought though, for good reason.
You missed the point of my post. The ISSUE is that we have players whose focus is NOT on the current season and what they can be doing to help the team get into and go deep into the tournaments, but instead these players are looking at other teams they want to play for, and they just happened to reveal this to the media.
I totally agree and understand your point. Players have responsibilities in this arena as well especially since NIL. That's why I would hope (not convinced for sure) this is an external issue from the team focus. But I guess it is the time we live in.
Matt is a good “confirming” source. He doesn’t always get out ahead of other news sources. He makes sure it’s legit before saying it.
Well in Kerr case he might not even play again the rest of the year . It would make sense that he is already looking at other options .
Not so sure about Chandler. If is bride to be doesn't want to move to ky, then I could see him leaving
Like the ky kids, but Perry will never be more than a role player, spot up shooter. He is too limited athletically. Same for Noah. Must have speed and quickness to survive in the SEC
Eh. I always thought he was a guy who would take a rushed three in a close game because he thought he was the hero only to brick it.
She better get used to not being in one place too long if he's going to stick with basketball for the foreseeable future.
I’ll take it a step further and I don’t care which gullible snowflakes it rubs the wrong way…
Agreed. This NIL deal is starting to make some waves.
That is all Kerr is on a top 15 team. I said he would be a back up. If he can work on pushing the offense and defending(Kerr wasn’t that good either), he can be a rotation player. He definitely needs to work on his body, not all defense is about quickness. Yes, if everything else is equal, the athletic player is going to be a better defender. Reed was pretty athletic based on his draft stats. Yet, he was a terrible on ball defender, in my view, even worse than Perry is now. What we need as a backup PG is someone who can hold his own, usually against the opponents 2nd string, while the starter can get a breather. He is likely going to be limited to 10-15 min.
If I was that big of a paranoid conspiracy theorist id step away from the game.
Wow! Some people need to come out from under their aluminum foil hats.
I will say this, when I had the same fracture, I could not put weight on it. I played one season of high school football with a fractured ankle, stayed black and blue for the entire season. After the season the xray looked alike a map of lexington roads with fractures. But that Jones fracture with my weight 260+ at the time of the fracture, I could not put weight on the foot.
I don't fault him for this, and I think we'd all do the same in his shoes.
I've had the Jones and could put weight on it directly after the break but the next morning no way in hell.
Pope is full of positivity and that is just him. Fans will have to get used to that. He believes positive thoughts builds positive outcomes. On my fracture it hurt for the first 3 days without being on it. I came down on one of the wheels that used to be used in gym to put up volleyball nets. I have 260+ lbs on that one wheel. I would guess some of the pain was ligaments and such as well. Might be why it was so painful. I was on crutches for several weeks. Then walking boot for several more weeks. We did not opt for any surgery but it was on the table even way back then.
He will be our pg but not our starting pg. A transfer jr or senior is a must at that position
He never broke his foot/ankle and nobody claimed he did.. Was the bone going to the pinky toe that was fractured..
