You can’t really do that in today’s game, the game and players have evolved past that. They are too skilled, too athletic, officiating is to touchy, and you’ll get run out of the gym trying to play the style Arkansas and Kentucky had so much success with in the 90’s.

Love to have him but we have the front court to play with about anyone already. Time to get the backcourt now
Oops fell asleep scrolling Woke up and must of hit post. Hence the “0”. Lol
If you are trying to press to turn the other team over then yes I agree with you it’s a high risk tactic. However, I think Pope wants to press to simply waste the shot clock and disrupt the opponents half court sets. He wants playing us to be the biggest headache in the world. Offensive possessions that take up the full shot clock with multiple actions and multiple screens. And defensive possessions that make the opponent worn out and tired from having to fight the press for every bucket.
Very possible both Garrison and Oweh are long term bench piece to backup Great and Brea.
If above is the case then roster would seem to be filling out nicely.
At that point you are really down to needing another PG. Already have a CG in Butler.
I will say if we add both Osobour/Brea and then Robinson does come available, not sure if we are adding anyone of major substance outside of that PG (10 deep + another PG)...less a depth piece. At that point your roster is full.

While I can occasionally afford that, this 70 year old man has learned that a less priced meal is just as good.
Lanier
Brea
Backup point guard
One more stretch 4.
And call it a day.
G - Butler - back-up point guard - Perry
G - Brea - Oweh - Chandler - Perry
G - Lanier - Oweh - Chandler
F - Carr - stretch 4 - Garrison
C - Williams - Garrison
Lanier
Poplar
Brea
Richmond
Robinson
I think the UK staff wants to close with two of them.
I'm wondering why we don't think Garrison and Williams will be enough at the 5 next season.
I know Osobor is better than both of them, but we landed two of the better big men in the portal. Both are going to be solid defensively and give us good rim protection. Carr gives you a back-to-the basket 4 man (if you need late game scoring).
We would have all preferred Osobor, but let's not act like we didn't land an elite collection of portal bigs in Carr, Williams, and Garrison. You'd think we came away with Aaron Bradshaw and Mark Coury by how people are handling this news.
I don’t think it’s a miss, but a pass. Think about it. He’s on a visit, they go to dinner then a couple hours Osober tells them no thanks he’s out??? That makes no sense at all. He would wait till he left or made his other visits to do that.
The only way he’s out after his visit was ending is if Pope told him he needed the commitment now or we were moving on.
Not full court at least but, three quarter or half half court absolutely. All that athleticism stretching out and trapping is deadly with those quick long athletes. It’s criminal Cal didn’t take advantage of that more when he was here with all the rim protectors we had. instead we grindied it out chasing man to man
I wish you guys would please stop all this “I gotta be 1st to possibly maybe break a story”.
Great is out now. This is another waste of time thread.
Yeah I mean if Osobor didn't want to be here we should have just kidnapped him and held him hostage until he changed his mind.
That poster seemingly lives for shock and awe negative posts. Think “little boy that cried wolf.” Ignore is your friend in this situation.
We should have grabbed his student visa and threatened to not give it back till he committed
Makes sense at this point. Cannot imagine we carry more than 10 true contributors.
I guess he didn't want to play with Carr that bad or just selfishly wanted him to join wherever he went.
While the internet allows for free and open access to information, some websites require a certain level of knowledge and critical thinking to properly understand and engage with the content. Sports websites in particular often contain complex statistics, analysis, and insider terminology that assume a basic familiarity with the sport. While everyone should be free to browse these sites, those without a solid educational background may struggle to keep up with the nuances. This can lead to misconceptions, faulty interpretations, and even the spread of misinformation if complex data is misunderstood. Those without the requisite knowledge may be better served sticking to more basic sports coverage until they build up more literacy in the specifics of the game. There is no shame in admitting the need to learn the fundamentals before diving into the deep end. Taking the time to educate oneself on the basics of sports statistics and lingo will lead to a much richer experience engaging with these websites down the line. The path to true understanding starts with a solid educational foundation. With learning and patience, the doors to in-depth sports analysis will open.
