Best thing is, there is still time for him to get up to speed and a lot of game experience for March.
OFFICIAL!! BIG Z IS FREE!!!!
- Thread starter Tampa_cat54
- Start date
Dillingham, Shep, Reeves, Bradshaw, Z. Excited for that lineup
Watched him warmup at the A&M game. He’s got a sweet looking natural shooting stroke. Hops don’t look massive. Reach appears to be massive. It will be interesting to see how he adapts from the euro style of play.
Fingers crossed we build a huge lead against Georgia and we see him get 5-10 minutes today. He needs all the minutes he can get to acclimate.
It’s almost starting too late in the season for him but better late than never. He has enough time to get settled in and at least be an option end of the year.

Most likely Mitch working behind the scenes, threat of NCAA lawsuit, and the fact the NCAA has already said they will be proposing direct payment of players .. mostly likely this year.
I'm guessing Ugo's defense around the rim is better than Big Z's. (This is 110% guess.)
Ugo has started rebounding out of his area and has shown the ability to guard the post. I don't think there's any questioning that Z will be a better offensive threat.
The good news is we now have 3 big men. So, I don't worry as much about the freak tourn injury or foul trouble.
As they say, the cream rises to the top. We'll see how they respond!
Again, this is a win-win for UK!
I’m just glad he can play. Even if it’s limited minutes. Kid deserved a shot.
I will be for sure. If he plays even 2 minutes tonight Rupo will explode. The cheers will be loud and proud for Z!
Jack Givens has implied that Z gets pushed around in practice and fans need to lower their expectations. The last time I heard this was a few weeks after Z began practicing. Hopefully he's responded well. I'm more excited to see how he defends and plays in transition more than anything.
I doubt he takes many mins from Bradshaw unless it's because of foul trouble.
I'm very surprised by this.
The NCAA can still get bent for how they played this.

I think he is as good as Ryan Kalkbrenner. If so, he ought to 4 or 5 minutes a game with Cal.
Yup. NCAA has become a paper Tiger. Push back the least little bit and NCAA folds.
I can't remember the last time I was this excited for a regular season game. That's in addition to the excitement that game day brings. Of course he might not play, but I love this anticipation.
What an outstanding young man. Unlike that bum ass b**ch who sat on the bench instead of playing for UK.
