Scheyer concerned about Flagg cramping issues the first two games
- Thread starter Smashcat
- Start date
Setting up the excuses already!
LOL
If the whipper snapper is cramping v Army I can’t imagine what he’s going to experience chasing our Mach V team up and down the court all game tomorrow night!
Danger Will Robinson-Warning Danger Warning!!!

That's a very weird thing to be THAT concerned about. Scheyer also made it sound like it was a big mistake by the training staff.
Are they worried about his lower body? Are they worried that if Flagg goes down, that their team is screwed (from a perspective of winning a Final 4)? Does Scheyer know if this season doesn't go well, he's going to start to be on the hot seat?

They will check him via Committee. This is where our stupid crazy depth comes into play:
Carr-Williams-Garrison-Oweh and on and on.
Make it a track meet, and throw different bodies at him. Tire and wear him down all game.
This; he's not conditioned to the college game yet. Most of our dudes are or at least have played high level D1 ball.
Huge advantage that literally no one has brought up until you.
I think that's a fair assumption. Bu year 3 with this team he should make minimum a final four appearance.
I'll feel the same about Pope if he hasn't made a final four after year 3.
No reason it shouldn't happen for both programs.
Someone on the training staff needs to be fired if an 18-19 year old young man is having cramping issues. Playing in air conditioned arenas??!! TV timeouts every few minutes plus team timeouts??!! Stoppages for fouls called.....given its Duke that's every 30 seconds or so.
Yeah agreed with others.. if i was Pope, I'd use this to our advantage and be very uptempo. Run him out of the game
I mean cramps happen. I’m not coddling them but playing ball is not like walking to the end of the block. They should be able to figure most of them out though.
We are a horrible match up for the young Devils esp this early in the season.
Like I said UK moves at a blistering pace, has upperclassman all over the starting five and bench that have been thru the tough college games.
Duke on the other hand has a bunch of wet behind the ears Freshman 5 stars in diapers.
Catlanta is a huge adv too for UK as everyone on this board knows its not called Catlanta for nothing. 75/25 split in fans.
Would not be surprised if Kentucky puts 10,000 in that Arena with all the excitement surrounding this team plus playing Duke.

Maybe Flagg hasn’t had to work that hard in High School and the off-season? The level of game he’s accustomed to has probably come too easy for him and he’s now getting pushed more than ever before?
Kentucky will run this Duke team in the ground and pull away late for a double digit win.
Some players are more prone to them than others. Flagg may be one of those.
We about to see.
Our style of play is the worst case scenario for him.
No rest for the weary with UKs up and down style. We have the depth/experience/talent to maintain it all game from tip to buzzer.
Duke is in big trouble in about 28 hrs from this post.

We might play something we have not seen much. I had to look it up but I think it’s called a “zone” ?
If I were a dukie, I would question why the coach is saying this in public about a week into the season. Either this is some type of gamesmanship, which seems unlikely, or he doesn’t feel Flagg is putting in the work outside of games.
Or maybe, just maybe he is giving excuses because he fears the University of Kentucky is about to blitz Duke in Catlanta?
I think it’ll be a competitive game, but maybe some truth to it. That gives me some Cal vibes when he’d say weird stuff before a big game.
Couple of Midols and he should be good to go.
Or just call up Coach K and have him bite him on the neck, voila eternal life. Can’t cramp if you’re nosferatu.

but i dont know if pope is smart enough to gameplan for it. i know cal would have never even known about it.
NAH.. JUST KIDDING!!
i think pope knows every single thing about every player. i am so stoked to watch his young career at UK.

I cramped so bad a couple years after college playing a pickup football game at LCA. Both legs at once, some of most intense pain I've experienced for a couple minutes.
The worst cramp is right below the chin.
Haven't experienced one in a while.
It grips you as if to say I got your arse then it slowly progresses into agonizing pain.
Just brutal
I'm hoping that happens, that we just bury the snot out of them.
Our old coach wouldn’t have used this to no advantage of ours. Now our new coach will game plan to this and run Duke up and down the floor and have Flagg out of the game!
Brother I LOVE YOUR ENTHUSIASM but…..saying duke is in big trouble is asinine! As much as I’d love for them to have nothing, they have talent in bunches. Our defense is suspect and we’re facing the consensus #1 player in the country.
I personally believe our best chance of containing Fagg, oops Flagg, is to put Amari on him! I know that will be in the minority saying that but I feel like he may be our only guy with size that can check him. Everyone else I feel fine with tbh. And finally, I believe we can and WILL WIN! I have to believe that a coach as smart as ours is smart enough to contain that 1 player! GO CATS!!!
None of us really know what expect from this team yet and tomorrow is a snapshot measure of this team’s season going forward. I can’t wait to find out.
I've had the double legged calf and/or thigh cramps lead to violently instantaneous coitus interruptus
Maybe we can get whoever plays for Maine that held him to 6-15 from the field for 18 points (6-6 from the FT line) to transfer before tonight. That guy is apparently the greatest defender in the history of basketball to hold the greatest player to ever play to 18 points and 40% from the field.
