He’s right about a lot he says. We are no where near where we need to be. Can’t make assumptions based on these games

He hasn’t once made reference to our potential. He’s been consistently negative.
I'd think we wouldn't be since its August 12th, but I sure like where we are.
Uh that’s what he’s been saying the entire time so you agree with him.
Guys got to talk about something. Hard for them to fill out hours of talking during blowouts
Saying that, they are all fos. Greenberg especially after his banging in us last year

Maybe Cal tells him not to blow smoke up these young players short shorts so they continue to stay hungry and to fight summertime complacency.
Just a thought.
Just a thought.
My biggest complaint with him, it’s August and he’s sayin “not a Final 4 team”. Well no crap Sherlock. No team is right now. But I bet we’re just as close as anybody.
My thoughts exactly. It felt more like he was just trying to go opposite of Dakich kiss assing. Call me biased but I've enjoyed Dakich more
Seth likes to be a contrarian just for the sake of being a contrarian. I hate it.
He hasn’t said anything too bad, I just think he’s trying to temper some of the over exaggerated hot takes right now. I’d rather not have someone crown us champs this early on, still a lot of places to grow which is scary to think of.
It’s a stupid premise to think this team doesn’t improve once they’ve had more than ten days of practice. Announcers running out of bs. Four games in five days.
Wow! If that's what he said then he's a real genius. Like who in the crap thinks we are where we need to be after 10 practices?
I'd love to be paid 6 figures to give brainbusting insight like that.
BTW, that's what is scary. A lot of new faces & we saw some glimpses of balling. Can you imagine mid-season form?
I mean sure we won’t be playing semi pro teams in the future that’s missing some players and not as in shape as they will be during their seasons. You do get to see how each of our players react under pressure without having much structured practice for them to cling to. Watching their emotion and how well they try to fit in the teamplay was also good to see. Will some change and get better or get passed on the depth chart? Probably but it will be fun to watch them grow.

I kinda think he’s positioning himself for a spot on our team if any of barbs robes or huuunnnngry leave. I think he wants to be a coach again, no better place to get your career started again than at UK. He is already close to Calipari and I never thought he trolled Kentucky or went out of his way to be negative. Believe he calls it like he sees it. most UK fans get all but hurt if they say one thing bad about our play. Don’t get me wrong bilas or rothstein I thing have a negative bias against UK, I don’t see it with Seth.
Is there a team out there that is where they need to be right now?
Where is UK compared to the other 350 D1 teams?
It's August, nobody is anywhere close to where they are supposed to be.
Show me a team that is closer right now than UK though.

Old teams with more chemistry atm. Now do I think they will be better than UK in March? No I don’t. But there a lot of things UK needs to work on. Just think Kentucky has the higher ceiling than everyone else
Cal and Seth are good friends. I would be willing to bet that Cal told him to not overhype us too much this early because these kids heads will swell over the next few months if he does. Cal wants a hungry team.
i enjoyed the hell out of the UK love fest. I found myself yelling at the tv when they were having trouble remembering COMEBACK CATS! or when they were talking about the most beloved Cat.... How could John Wall not be on that list? he represents the rebirth of Kentucky into modern day Coach Cal era. i hope they do more of our games!
This team is ridiculous as far as talent and skill. Yes we are better than these teams but damn we are legit I'm gonna assume away.
How anybody could watch those four games and come away with the take that ANY of of those announcers were negative toward UK is beyond me. That's just an embarrassing take and the type of thing that gives this message board a bad name. Try selling the idea that Seth was negative about UK to any non-UK fan who watched those games and you'd get laughed out of the building. It was a lovefest.
I'm not going to read this entire thread. I'm just going to say that I love UK basketball, but I hate the section of our fanbase that can't let anyone say something critical without thinking there is a conspiracy against us. Our players and coaches are not perfect. There are things they can improve on. If you can't accept criticism in life, you will never be the best version of you.
Not buying all but KU off that list. Just because those teams are older doesn't mean they are further along than UK is right now. I mean, UK just beat 4 veteran teams by an average of 30 points. They played 4 games in 5 days and Cal called the dogs off early in each game.
I just don't see that kind of depth from anyone but KU on that list.
Also, UK was missing its best shooter and highest rated recruit.

Of all the ridiculous things that was said the one that stood out to me was the 3rd guy asking if UK had enough guys to play up tempo the whole game since they only went 9-10 deep. So you need more than 10 guys deep to play up tempo according to that guy.
You are the most pessimistic fan on these boards. Reading your posts makes me cringe every time.
It's common knowledge that we're not as good as we will be. 90% of what Seth says is regurgitated Cal speck..
