Rotation will go to 8 man and only 9 if needed.

That sounds like he’s just running with what Cal said on his show tonight. He didnt commit to it but said we could do it if everyone was healthy.

 

[Mike-McD]

JFC the man can't buy a clue.

Changing the lineup yet AGAIN.

What it needs is to be the same.

Jeez this guy.

Why not commit to hedging, or a zone defense?

The same would be Edwards still in the lineup. As as far as the proposed rotation it should be Z instead of Ugo and Burks instead of Edwards. That's only if you want the best possible team.

Oh you didn’t hear his brilliant response about zone?

Didn't listen to show but Pilgrim said this before show started.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

So we can take Bradshaws heart but not Edwards? Lol.

Take it as sarcasm, but we only have 8
Or 9 players not sick or injured per game anyways. How could you not go small, the 7 footers aren’t helping a bit.

You can tell Edwards is a good guy. I hope he gets it going and lives up to the hype and gets out of his own head.

Edwards/Ugo make up 25% of this rotation. Sorry that is not going to do anything good. One of them is fine, but Z has to be in this mix. If not cal is an idiot, well he his anyway. Whatever, I just can’t stand this prick!!!!

 

[CatPhight]

Ha...with Cal's defense, it amounts to rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic...

Heck, I'd take ANYONE over Bradshaw right now!!! He has been TERRIBLE since the UF game!!

Edwards isn't much better, but Poor Bradshaw gets pushed around, can't defend the rim and is SLOW and WEAK!!

Neither one of them should get ANY playing time!!!

 

[Ron Mehico]

A little disappointed we won’t see what Z can do but obviously the small ball lineup was much better and we looked a lot better before all our 7 footers became available.

 

[yes_takeaside]

Well Cal knows what we all know. AB is not gonna be drafted. He’s still pushing Edwards

 

[mcwildcats04]

I did see a tweet that Tre has apparently returned to practice. So, hopefully we revert back to the small ball lineup starting tomorrow night.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

A little disappointed we won’t see what Z can do but obviously the small ball lineup was much better and we looked a lot better before all our 7 footers became available.

We will see about that. Small ball didn't beat anyone good and almost lost to st Joseph.

Burks is terrible. Anyone claiming he should be playing doesn't have eyes.

 

[KentuckyMildCats]

Let's keep swapping players out every minute too, so no one ever gets in the flow of the game

I don't believe a thing Cal says until I actually see it on the court. Hell Cal basically did not play Dilly in the second half Saturday.

 

[ukypug]

I don’t believe for one second he won’t play Bradshaw. Z the one who will get screwed because Cal does not know how to play him.

 

[CatPhight]

 

[Jmeeks54thebest]

Until he can get them to buy into defense I’m not sure it matters. Or teach the team a defense that they are capable of using. But if he really is going to go back to small ball that tells me he’s starting to feel some pressure. Whether it’s from the fans, his employer, or both, I’m not sure. But he is definitely feeling it… Mr krabs

 

[JFCats22]

Z is confused and lost on the court every second he is in. Not all his fault as he hasn’t had as much time preparing as the other guys did but he does not help this team. All the big guys should get spot minutes at most.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Burks is terrible. Anyone claiming he should be playing doesn't have eyes.

Where is he terrible at, he hasn’t gotten nearly enough of a chance to even form a basis for if he is good or not

 

[JwUKFan11]

Where is he terrible at, he hasn’t gotten nearly enough of a chance to even form a basis for if he is good or not

Every time he touches the ball he walks or almost does. His lateral quickness is terrible that's why he had so many fouls last game. He can't dribble to save his life. You don't have eyeballs.

 

[UK-chulo]

Need this with Cal’s head.

 

[TTTblue24]

Bradshaw will play, I don’t believe any of the talk he’s out of the rotation. And don’t forget that someone has to have a weird illness or mysterious injury that normally doesn’t require to miss games ……..at these young ages.

Of course Edwards makes the lineup. I love the kid but Z needs minutes. He should get them all from now on. He’s our best offensive big man by far.

 

[KAB Cats]

Yea, just wait for O or Mitchell to blow a defensive assignment and see what happens

 

[ukfan1622]

Can you list all the things Edwards does better?

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

He has gotten one chance to play extensive mins. I do have eyeballs, it s called not making an overall big picture judgement on a kid who gets thrown in for 2-3 mins a half. Of course they are gonna press. Thats why a lot of these players press they don’t have any clue what their mins are going to be

 

[westerncat]

Bradshaw should never play another minute as he is just not that good.

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

I guess getting Z was a waste of time. Never mind that he is one of the most efficient offensive players we have…

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

Z is confused and lost on the court every second he is in. Not all his fault as he hasn’t had as much time preparing as the other guys did but he does not help this team. All the big guys should get spot minutes at most.

Of course the King of Sunshine Pumping hates Z.

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

And why the hell is Edwards getting minutes?

 

[bbncal02]

And why the hell is Edwards getting minutes?

Tbf he’s done meh the past couple of games. Just not the level we thought he’d be.

 

[MissingWCC]

Mr. Lightoller send out the SOS. New captain needed on deck.

 

[Bluesbrother]

Ron White says Cal can't be fixed.
