Well balanced roster!

 

[Fitch44]

Ummm, practices will be a war.

 

[Zissou87]

Hawthorne is 6'8 and 185 lbs. 😳

That kid is going to have to eat something this summer.

Brea only weighed 201 at the combine.

 

[BigKari]

Brea only weighed 201 at the combine.

What was his height? I’d guess 6’5.5

 

[Cleatortoises]

What was his height? I’d guess 6’5.5

6'5.75

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Could end up being one of the deepest teams in program history.

 

[RondoBaller21]

Who is Zach Tow?

 

[BigBlueManSouthCentralKY]

Who is Zach Tow?

Walkon from Madisonville. Pope loved his effort in practices.

 

[kywildcat41035]

Ummm, practices will be a war.

Practices are going to be more tougher than most games.

 

[thebluestripes]

[MidseasonTweaks]

This roster is stacked with talent, skill, experience and size. This is a championship caliber roster through and through.

 

[dlh331]

Could end up being one of the deepest teams in program history.

Could rank right behind:
1. 1996
2. 2015
3. 1975
4. 2026??

May have to. If the guys buy into it like they did in 2015, man oh man..!

 

[Digger-Cat]

Well, let’s look deeper.

-We have 2 of everything
-We have a guy named "Noah"
-We have been getting a ton of rain
-Pope likes to shoot a lot from behind the… .

somebody take it from here, I just set the table.

 

[CELTICAT]

If Pope’s whole schtick is to try to re-create ‘96, then that just makes me love him that much more.

I hope this is a joke.

Hopefully, it rains (3’s) for 40 days (games)!

 

[Eagles_Ball]

Walkon from Madisonville. Pope loved his effort in practices.

Lol. Of course he did. "Beautiful" effort.

 

[wildcatknh]

That's a tall roster. On average, over an inch taller than last year's team. This roster would have been only slightly behind Duke as the tallest team in the tourney last year.

Average height > 79.6 inches or 6' 7.6"

 

[BigBlueManSouthCentralKY]

Kind of hope Potter RS so he gets three years of this stuff. Hawthorne can play and help us with four years left. Williams and Hawthorne gives us two true three's when aren't in a three guard lineup. Both are very good offensively with perfect size for the position.

 

[UK67KU59]

This roster is fascinating. I am itching to see them all on the court!

 

[ftp000]

Hawthorne is 6'8 and 185 lbs. 😳

That kid is going to have to eat something this summer.

Kentucky is known for thick cut fried baloney sandwiches, and biscuits and gravy. That should help. Maybe mix in some soup beans, cornbread, and fried potatoes. Now I'm starvin

Hawthorne will not be a four year player lol. Dude has the second highest potential on the team. Only one player on the team will probably be drafted higher than him and that's JQ IMO. More than likely he will be two and done or three and done.

 

[zoid1]

So if Koby Brea was really 6’5.75” 201lbs but on the official UK roster listed at what 6’7” 215lbs I could see this happening.

Probably keep the returnes the same height as last year but bumb them up about 5lbs.
Oweh 6’5” 225lbs
BG 6’11” 255lbs
Chandler 6’5” 210lbs
Noah 6’5” 225lbs
Tow 6’5” 220lbs

Add a little extra to the new xfers to make our overall team look more intimidating.
Aberdeen 6’5” 200lbs
Lowe 6’3” 185lbs
Mo 6’8” 230lbs
RP 7’1” 235lbs
JQ 6’10” 240 lbs
Kam 6’9” 205lbs

Freshman’s listing will be inflated
JJ 6’4” 190lbs
MM 7’0” 245lbs
AJ 6’11” 230lbs
BH 6’9” 200lbs

 

[AzubuikeandFitch]

Lol. Of course he did. "Beautiful" effort.

"Elite" effort. Super special individual

 

[Eagles_Ball]

"Elite" effort. Super special individual

Dude cracks me up. I'd love to plant a mic to hear the staff meetings. I get what he's doing and his approach, but I'd love to hear his REAL thoughts on some guys.

That is why I said no sense RS to put on weight. Within a year or two he will be a ton further along.

 

[rivercatinfl]

This protects us from a couple injuries derailing the season.
It's good o have options!! Wow.

That kid is going to have to eat something this summer.

Maybe the most important person involved with UK basketball over the next 6 months will be their strength coach Randy Towner. When I see our roster I see several players Lowe, Potter, Williams, Johnson, Jelavic, Hawthorne that needs depending on the player 10/15/20 additional pounds.

 

[FitchandMurray29]

Lowe actually 6 foot even instead of 6 foot 3. Probably crushes his draft stock even for next year. Increased likelihood of 2 years of him(1 if he sucks and gets pushed out).

I like the sophomores that have played major conference ball successfully, high school pedigree, yet not draft prospect guys. Complements the Kam, Jasper, JQ, Hawthorne types that will have more “potential” to NBA teams.

Kam Williams has first round potential.

He looks way bigger than 6-0 (without shoes)

He looks like 6-3 (in shoes) from highlights...

And he is 6-7 in shoes without doubt

So UK website did not list wrong...

So he lost 14 pounds during the season
