The Lineup changes have to stop

[LXWildcat]

The mixing and matching of the lineups are hurting this team. You cannot play Ugo Bradshaw and Edwards all 3 together it just won’t work.

Also the rotation needs to be cut down to these players

Only these players should play nobody else

Wagner
Dillingham
Reeves
Mitchell
Bradshaw

Reed
Adou
Big Z
Ugo

You cannot convince anyone else should receive playing time because they simply shouldn’t. Have a set rotation and stick to it, start guys who can actually play and stick to it. Stop playing players that cannot contribute to this team.

Lol this is just a long winded way of saying you don't think Edwards should play anymore. He's the only guy currently playing who's not on your list.

 

[RunninRichie]

Cal has been clueless about lineups for years.

He’s got a point. Idk any coach that would play him as bad as he’s been. It they did, would be very little. He’s a 10 MPG max guy.

I’d be curious to see how Edwards would react coming off the bench. He does not needs to start, and maybe seeing how the flow of the game is going could help him. Either way, his minutes needs to drop.

He shouldn’t play, Edwards is beyond terrible at this point, he is worst than what Whitney was

I'm not arguing for or against Edwards, I just think it's funny this was posed as a post about cutting down the rotation and at the end of it only Edwards was cut.

These players like Edwards hurt you in the future with recruiting.
Other schools will point to his high draft status before the season and the results after.

You cant win.
The guy will eventually give you his high ceiling. But will you get it before he transfers?

Unless he gets better NOW, this season, ..he is going to hurt the team in recruiting.
GOT TO PLAY HIM

Right. Might as well bench his ass.

Calipari has a history of ineffective lineups and undeserved playing time. I think he gets lost in the game and knowing who is playing what minutes. In fact, he has said multiple times that "players should sub themselves out".

I agree. At this point, Edwards' time has to be 10mpg or less. He hasn't shown any improvement since the season began. And, at this point, he is a glaring weakness on the court. He had 1 shot last night in 23mpg. He is giving the team nothing in 23 minutes.

Calipari always states that the players to play in a manner that is "best for the team". Calipari has that same responsibility. He should play the players that are best for the team now...not next season or in recruiting down the road. He needs to listen to his own advice.

Kept thinking about it and added more to that post. Sorry.

I think you got a play him and hope he gets hot and reduces the hurt on future recruiting

I get what you’re saying. Problem is JE is killing the team.

 

[jjsomer]

JE doesn't have to score. But, he has to do something to help the team win. What does he do?

 

[Supafuzz75]

19 different lineup that played at least 1 mins last night.. Well....

I’m not necessarily conceding that Cal is thinking that way. But, if so, then it works both ways. If you’re Thiero, why are you going come back if you know the hot shot freshman is going to start over you no matter what?

That is beyond ridiculous

Easy now.

This same thread has played over and over and over in recent years. It's not the main problem.

I’m ready to give Ugo’s minutes to Big Z. If they’re both in foul trouble play Mitchell at the 5. Trim the rotation.

I am open to this. Come off the bench a d have him sit by an assistant until his first sub. Let that asst talk through the game with him and point out where he can be effective. Spell it out for him.

not in Cal's recruiting pitch. He'll tell the future recruit that he'll stick with him until draft day even if it means losses

Gee I posted a very similar thread and the mods deleted it. Wonder why.

 

[katwest]

The lineups will keep changing, because we will have somebody hurt or sitting out that was healthy the day before the game. This team has to have to have everybody healthy to have a chance to win it all, much less the SEC.
