Noah and Perry

[Soupbean]

Noah and Perry can make shots from the perimeter. That skill is always going to be a huge plus and has it's place on the court. We've suffered in recent history from having multiple subs and even starters who the opponent could totally ignore.

Perry takes that next step when he cuts his down his rate of "WTF was that?" passes.

Yeah still hasn’t quite adjusted to the speed and athleticism of the defense at this level o and floats some passes that were easy in high school

 

[NoDef]

It’s awful. Woeful. Dreadful. Guys blow up by him at will for easy laps. Maybe you’ve got some blue goggles on for him?

Some of that was poor help side. I actually think I that Perry made strides definitely tonight.

The Mountain Boys brought it and we needed every one of those points

I think someone might need a primer on Kentucky geography. Perry ain’t from anywhere near the mountains.

670 feet above sea level is mountain enough for me 🤣😒🫢. Yeah I need a primer. He brought it regardless.

Pope reminds me of Patrick Cleburne in the Civil War. Outgunned. Outmanned. Yet, he keeps on holding his ground with each new battle.

Credit to Pope for having these two young men ready for tonight. I really love the way he built up a quality bench this season.

Patrick Cleburne was a traitor to his adopted country.

I suggested in the game thread that we go with those two at a point in the game instead of Amari and Brandon, and someone replied "you want to score a 100 points per game?".

I didn't understand why Pope sub in both perry and Noah, and pulled butler and oweh. He has a way to go as a coach IMO. I understood taking oweh out for Noah, and perry for butler. But not at the same time! Keep one strong guard in there!
Imo it was a very dumb move with 16:00 to go in the second half to have a lineup of Brea,perry,Noah,Almanor,Garrison on the floor. Lead was cut from 9 to 3.

Now he gets to teach oweh how to run point!

I was thinking the same thing Popes substitution patterns has much to be desired maybe it wore tenn. out we did pull away at the end great move by coach Pope.

And Cal did not even recruit Noah which shows how dumb he is about talent.

Compare Noah with Know or Richmond, who would you prefer?

Perry and Noah look like guys you’d see on a Bellarmine roster, but they’re both proving that Kentucky Boys with that Kentucky heart and dream of playing for the big blue, can both be big contributors. If there was a place for guys like Richie Farmer, Travis Ford, Patrick Sparks, Cameron Mills, among others to be contributors here, there’s certainly room for Perry and Noah.

I just don’t think he has the body or athleticism or quickness to ever be good enough to stay in front of SEC-caliber point guards.

I think we’ll be fine giving him minutes during nonconference play, but I just don’t think you can have him in there trading buckets against real competition. If there is a possession in which Perry’s man does not blow by him, it is simply because Perry’s man didn’t try to.

He’s getting better every game, he may never be a lock down defender but neither was Travis Ford and he was pretty good.

I’d prefer Noah simply because he will stay 3-4 years and become a great college player. Knox and Richmond are good players but will leave while not ready. I think Richmond could be very good if he doesn’t fall into that trap. Knox seems like the type to go to Europe rather than play 2 years.

 

[Play some D]

Your dislike for Perry and the need to disparage him doesn’t make sense. He’s coming along and his defense wasn’t nearly as bad you’re saying. Relax

Perry's defense isn't nearly as bad as these dudes let on. Even Seth Greenberg was trying to down Perry's defense against Wagner. But had to back track. His defense us no worse than Brea. Perry & Noah just play hard. They both played well

 

[jeffky]

I got bashed for saying we need noah back in the spring. laughed at and told, noah would never amount to much . slow not athletic enough to play here . Anybody with a brain saw the heart in this kid . Noah you're BIG TIME

Patrick Cleburne was a traitor to his adopted country.

So what? That has nothing to do with my point. He was an incredible general who made the most with the troops had. That was the point.

 

[K_TIME]

Noah has played great all year, IMO

Well Noah is leading the team at 53% from 3pt land on the season…and he’s gotten up a decent amount of shots at this point

Perry not shabby either at 40%3pt

Having deep threats is huge../now go get some athletic players, ball handlers, shot blockers, to compliment the roster
