Two more spots, correct?
- Thread starter silentsaregolden2.0
- Start date
All three will split the majority of the minutes. All 3 are interchangeable at the 4 and 5 spot.
Perry is the 13.. he helps out when needed and he can accept his lesser role to be on a UK title team. That's still needing a 7ft guy to block shots and atleast make them think we can. Garrison will be fine but not a 5.
Realistically cannot keep all 15 players on a basketball roster ‘happy.’ While I’m sure it’s happened somewhere, off the top of my head I can’t think of a team that has retained all 13 players in the combined era of wide-open NIL and unlimited transfers. Having 15 full-ride scholarship players on the roster is a waste of money and effort. I’m among those hoping the House settlement implodes.
Hard to compare a freshmen sec season at UK vs tulane as well. Competition garbage by comparison when comparing to the sec.
Oweh? He’s 1st team SEC and on some AA lists.
He should be priority #1 and on the cover of the 2025-2026 Media Guide.
I’d star Jasper with Oweh.
Oweh needs to play SF. Really need a shooter at 2G
I'd wait and see what he looks like until after an off-season of weight training fundamentals training, before passing judgement on Chandler. IMO, he has potentially as much upside as anyone on the team.
Agreed. We already have a lot of mouths to feed. No way another rotation piece will be added other than a shooter. Pope might end a back end project guy or something maybe
North Carolina has a more diversified economy and Puke likely has more wealthy alums who are more loaded than our state school's.
Ok wasn’t aware we were on him. I know he’s testing the draft wonder how long staff waits or they take the first come first serve. Also are we still actively pursuing Alvaro
If someone leaves, it is what it is. Upgrade the roster as much as possible and truly compete for a title.
Yeah I'm pretty much fine with that. I trust the staff to make the call of whether they'd rather have the incoming transfer, or risk losing someone like Lewis or Chandler.
But, it does seem like were set on backcourt and wings.
Correct if you are scared of competition at your position then you don’t want to work harder than the next guy. JMO
I think Garrison has tons of upside. The biggest complaint I have about him is that he'd routinely fail to contest shots, get position for rebounds, or stay connected on D to his man when he was outside of the paint. All of those issues are fixable with reps, motivation, and some maturity.
It seems like our back court is in good shape. I mean, I wouldn’t send Yates or Pierre away if they want to come, but we don’t “need “ them. I do think we need a stretch 4 still. I know people think we have Alvaro locked up, but I really haven’t heard much on that front
Good numbers. Pretty consistent from 3 over the last two years. Nearly 40% for his career.
Good size as well at 6’5.
But he’s a west coast guy, grew up in Cali. Played at USC and Stanford.
What makes you think he wants to come here?
Would be major culture shock coming here from Cali.
I see the other day where St. John’s was the favorite to get him. I was also just throwing out names. It still seems like Pierre or Yates or somebody we haven’t heard of yet. Branham said tonight Kentucky might be interested in Ian Jackson
Yeah, I find it really hard to believe Chandler is a starter and Williams is that low on the depth chart. That doesn’t pass the smell test.
No, they aren’t. You’re going to have a REALLY hard time playing two of those three together unless there’s a MAJOR change to what pope does offensively. And I don’t think you could play two of the three together defensively at all. Garrison can’t defend the perimeter at all. I have doubt Moreno could either.
Also hearing Rylan Griffen’s name being mentioned.
Griffin, and Pierre are the 2. It’s just a rumour, but if Evan’s from Duke enters I would take him over all these guys
I actually look for Oweh's numbers to drop. Last season, there were stretches he put the whole team on his shoulders and we just rode him. I'm expecting alot more flexibility on offense next year. If that happens, we shouldn't have to rely on him as much. He will be just as valuable next year, but his numbers may not reflect it as much.
Kinda how I’m seeing it right now too.
Be hard to add a Pierre type and still play Jasper/Chandler/Lewis the minutes each of them are anticipating at the 1-2 spots. And that’s if you’re not considering Williams at the 2 and only at the 3…..and then there is Dioubate who could probably play some 3/4.
We are clearly still pursuing a SG but I could easily see us being finished with key rotation guys if we miss in Pierre/Yates, adding 2 low level D1 guys for practice depth that will be happy to ride the bench on a title contender vs playing at an NKU type… and starting Jasper at the 2.
