Do you actually understand basketball? Louisville is mediocre but they're in a crap conference. We're in the best, deepest conference ever. Do you understand the problem?
Our Freshmen are just not SEC quality

People complain about One and Done players..always new players every year. Get players that will be here for 3-4 years....
We get players that should be here 3-4 year. Now it's omg these guys suck there not ready to play.
If and that's a big if, if we can keep them. There worth will be measured in helping new players settle in, and practices flow smoother because Pope won't have to do all the teaching. And maybe by there junior year... They have matured physically and can contribute meaningful minutes.
2012 team, even with AD, does not win without senior Miller. Freshman Miller was no where near the level Senior Miller was. Give them time before you write them off.

Miller was big and athletic. None of these freshman have the athleticism or quickness to play at a high level.
Louisville hasn’t beaten a ranked team all season! The ACC was the absolute worst it’s ever been! Let Louisville play our schedule!
49 minutes between Perry & Noah...UK will NEVER win games with them playing that much...now or when they are seniors...it just won't happen
Lessons? LOL.
Sorry, dude, but one can’t learn quick feet. That’s a genetic thing. Either you have it or you don’t.
Cut the kid a break. He got his mouth busted wide open early in the game. Normal people would’ve gone to a doctor after that.
There are VERY few freshman who are SEC quality year one..... think before you post....
I would hope that no one expected Perry and Noah to be significant contributors their freshmen year, of sophomore year for that matter.
They are in the mold of players who come into their own their JR year and then kill their Senior year. Its a throwback to the 1980's and I am 100% good with it.
They weren't expected to or even considered to play significant minutes this year and circumstances changed it. It is what it is, but they'll in 2 years they will be playing to their strengths.

They were exhausted, they have bench due to injuries, and had just finished playing a game less then 24 hours ago.
Teach defense and our team can reach another level. If we don't defend we will always be trying to just out score everyone in a shootout. That is a tough position on nights our threes are not falling.
The kids just aren’t very good yet. They were never supposed to play.
In the non conference they barely played and when they did they pretty much stunk even against bad teams.
67 minutes against Bama was never the plan.
Think back to the Duke game when we were fully healthy…DNP’s for Perry/Noah and 2 minutes for Chandler.
One guy escaping the scrutiny is Almonor. He’s only made a 3 point shot in 1 of our last 7 games. That has to change next weekend.

There's an adjustment to the speed and physicality of college basketball. There are maybe 10 elite freshmen in the country that excelled. I think the whole team had an adjustment to the physical nature of the SEC. I'm hoping the NCAA tournament will be officiated differently with less physical play. That will help our guys. It seemed Amari was the only guy that adjusted to the physical play.
You'll eventually end up at "because he's not great like 🐄"
If you'll just start there Brad, you can move along.
It seems some have forgotten what building a team looks like.
I don't care if we ever recruit another one and done. But I keep hearing about recruiting non ky talent.
Talent usually moves on before we get to see it developed.
These guys will be fine.
Pel and Feldhous had to red shirt as frosh.
I commented in a thread on Almanor last week after the Missouri game that he can't be counted on.
You just have to hope he gets hot from 3 when we need it.
Agree. Here is how tough the injuries have been. UK has a 1-arm center playing the point on most possessions because the role-playing spot up shooters are not quick enough to bring it up against the best. It is what it is. Been a good season, hope Butler is healthy for NCAAT.
Perry , Noah and Chandler need to muscle up, the lack of some bulk in this league bouncing off picks effects your game. Perry's shooting is off from the effort he is giving on defense. Bulk up and do some bouncing yourself young man.
