Ryan Lemond scuttlebutt

[ULisnotmyman]

Just said the very tall student trainer (if you’ve been to a game the past couple years you’ve seen him) is beating ugonna in practice.

Apparently he played in Lexington and is Marvin stone’s son. Not good news if true, or maybe cal needs to give him a jersey? Lol

Marvin Stones kid is in college

 

[CUJO_1970]

Just what we all needed to hear, thanks.

 

[STL_Cat]

Finally, some good offseason news.

 

[JerseyCat84]

This bodes well for next season. Hey but Ugonna has muscles!

 

[YardCat]

He is one of tallest Student trainers in basketball. Hope he can help Ugonna get better. This dude would be a 5 Star if they ranked college student trainers that play basketball against each other. He is this Summer’s Matt Pilgram!

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

I mean Ugo was considered a project when he came here.People have just been building him up because he's the only center we have at the moment.

 

[WeWant9]

Well, that’s something.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Great news as always in Lexington

 

[cat tat2]

Not surprised, I mean Ugo couldn’t take minutes from Ware last year. Hope I’m wrong but I don’t expect much from him this year.

 

[SkyPrince1]

Need Somto and Jordan Brown or get Kaluma and Bradshaw plays center.
They can announce him as a forward in the starting lineups and put an F by his name in the box score

Hard to believe, but Marvin Stone has been dead for 15 years (2008).

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Oh good! I was worried for a second that Ugo would be our starting center. Looks like it will be this kid on the training staff.

That blows my mind too.

Time stopped making sense to me right around the time I turned 30

Great, right out of the Gil Thorpe comic strip. Has Billy Bunkin got any eligibility left?

Think Jamal Miglore, Naz Mohammed. It can happen.

Starting to shape up as a Disney movie.

It’s gonna have to be one of the first two. Kaluma ship has sailed for Kentucky

Same and it just keeps getting more weird from there!

 

[SophiesDad]

At least all of the posters who were ready to move on from Oscar because we can’t win with him will be happy.

Important to just note that KSR always pulls crap like this.

Chances are the manager maybe made one great play and got a dunk in on Ugo, and Ryan Lemond (who makes random stuff up all the time IMO) turned it into this whole narrative to stir the pot and so his daddy Matt Jones would be proud of him.

Just my 2 cents, but those dudes at KSR have hated Men's Basketball since Cal shut them out (which Cal never should have done obviously).

Exactly

 

[bigblue1971]

Cyril will start and play 25-30 minutes per game if he can stay out of foul trouble if he commits. 6'11" 240 college body already. Ugo unfortunately is still a project.

Now you mention it, to me it feels like they don’t even really do time anymore. Like they were on top of it up until about 2012 and then they dropped the ball. Don’t bother updating the time file anymore. It’s on a to-do list somewhere.

Ryan gets good football stuff, because of his connection to Dane key, but yeah basketball they usually just like to stir the pot

 

[mcnicKY91]

Eh...who truly knows what actually happened.

As for me, I have very low expectations for Ugo going into this upcoming year. If he exceeds them, great! If he doesn't, then it won't come as a surprise to me...

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Probably bs to stir the pot from ksr.

This should surely help their relationship with Cal lol

Maybe not getting in over Lance Ware should have told us something.

Yep

 

[cats2010]

Ugo May be serviceable or good in a few years but I saw nothing from him last year that indicates that he needs to be playing quality minutes. He is a 5-7 minute player at best currently.

 

[YardCat]

Not going to happen the UK Trainers made it to the Final Four last year, he said he wouldn’t risk his eligibility playing down on a lower tier team. Said he had bigger aspirations and wanted another chance for the 2024 Championship.

 

[SemperFiCat]

Taking ending generational poverty to the next level. Who else but Cal can take a student manager and get them undrafted?

 

[JonathanW]

I do not believe it.
But even if he is being remotely competitive with Onyenso, why not convince him to be a WO.

 

[ULisnotmyman]

That is not Marvin Stone's son. Lemond...lol.

I don’t think he’d make that part up. Said Marvin was the birth father…

 

[UKWILDCAT2004]

It's to the point now KSR seems more like a jilted ex-lover than actual basketball information. Yes we can argue whether the shut out was right or wrong but at some point they have to grow up and move on from it. It's just kinda sad at this point.

 

[STL_Cat]

Oh, yeah I've seen that guy out there during warm ups before the games. That's Marvin Stone's son? What?

 

[ULisnotmyman]

Cyril will start and play 25-30 minutes per game if he can stay out of foul trouble if he commits. 6'11" 240 college body already. Ugo unfortunately is still a project.

This probably the most likely scenario and why Cal ever made the “playing two centers at once” comment (he knew he would go get a starter and ugo still would be #2)
