Tai is on campus
- Thread starter MWes11
- Start date
Lets give him a couple of weeks to adjust to a new climate....he just left summer time, new time zone and food....I will be ok if he is a beast by Dec. 26th...lol
Not sure we'd see him at his best with jet lag, unfamiliarity with his teammates, shock of a new culture, etc. Save him to spring on UL.

He's 6'9", 254 lbs. For comparison, Marcus Lee is 6'9", 224lbs and Derek Willis is 6'9", 220 lbs.
This guy may never score 40 points in a game, but opposing teams are going to know he is there when they drive on him. I think he is going to be very physical.

Calipari said Tai Wynyard likely won't practice today because he has to complete medical stuff beforehand. Says he still may play Saturday.

I'm excited to see what he can bring to the table. Even if he's only able to give us a few physical minutes a game I still feel like that could be invaluable for this team.
Cal: Tai Wynyard won't practice Thursday. Maybe practice Friday. "If he's cleared to play, who knows?, I may stick him in game (Saturday)"
That was a quick response off the top of my head,I'm sure there have been others,but you are correct it's not a common thing especially with today's plethoria of talent sharing minutes.
Thanks to Jon Scott's fabulous website, we can find the answer. Wildcat big men who have scored forty or more points in a game are:
- Dan Issel - 9 times
- Cliff Hagan - twice (I realize that he would not be considered a big man by today's criteria, but he did play the C/PF positions in his era)
- Bob Burrow - 3 times
- Melvin Turpin - twice
- Bill Spivey - twice
- Tayshaun Prince - once
My point was that he will not be a huge offensive threat, but I believe others on this board answered your question sufficiently..........
So much for potentially red-shirting! I'm with Cal play him and lets see what he can do. In the big picture, 2 months is not going to make a difference in this guys pro potential.
Glad to have him here. Worst case scenario is that Cal gives him boxing gloves and introduces him to Skal.
6'10 260 is 6'10 260.
6'10 260 jumping over another human being and dunking is 6'10 260 jumping over another human being and dunking.
I guess it could have been photo shopped but I highly doubt it.
Terrance Jones put up 40+ at Tipp once didnt he? I consider him a big man since he played the 4 spot.
I was being sarcastic, insinuating that he should have stepped off the plane and onto the court.
Yep. It's culturally appropriate for New Zealanders to carry forth marriage by 12 years of age.
I don't know what you mean. Like, I have no clue. You are an idiot. Let's just leave it at that. Richard.
