UT Olivier Nkamhoua in the portal

[kyjeff1]

I'm telling everyone right now, Cal is going to screw this up next year. He is going to put an undeveloped Ugo out there at the 5 and lose a bunch of games just on the 'feeling' that Ugo is going to eventually figure it out.

Well, when is the last time Cal actually developed a big man? Kenny is no longer here, who do we have that is going to develop Ugo? He wasn't good enough to beat Ware out this year, Ware can't even make a layup half the time, but somehow Ugo is going to be our star 5 man in Cal's post up offense???

Instead of playing a 5 out offense with Bradshaw at the 5, this jughead is going to lose 10+ games by running Ugo and Bradshaw in the post, clogging the paint and struggling to get to 70ppg.

Oh but wait, in mid February, Cal will tell everyone he has figured it out and will start playing this other lineup (the same lineup we have been asking for since game 1). But by then, the best seed we will be in line for, is a 5 seed and we'll be out before the first weekend is over. Seen this movie before.

My hope is that Ugo transfers and Cal lands a couple PF's that can shoot, to pair with Bradshaw and 3 great guards.

Yes, you are correct, in the literal sense. I was talking about their 1-1 matchup.

Sorry. Thought you meant physical interaction

 

[Ukgold]

Why make a FALSE statistical claim?
Fredrick is the only transfer to UK that has done that.

After going back and looking your right.

Olivier is great young man. I met him and watched him a lot while he was at Bishop Walsh High School here in Cumberland. I have no idea where he may go next year, but I wish him well. He sure had a great game against duke.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

We still need a physical forward who can defend the 3/4 spots. This kid would have been perfect, but I imagine he wants more minutes than the 25 per game he received at Tennessee.

 

[bigbluedon]

We need to bring this kid in. Period. We need size like this. What are u waiting for Cal? Offer the kid.

Definitely could use one more forward, regardless of what Collins does. Collins/Bradshaw both give you the finesse guy, but Nkamhoua could give us that extra defensive bruiser to compliment Edwards at the other forward spot.

Smash, any good news regarding this kid on our front?

 

[Smooth86]

I watched him play in a couple G League camps, He’s more then likely staying in draft.. I have a feeling his stock is rising.

[Smashcat]

Still looking around.

We good.

 

[K_TIME]

Incredible...we literally have potential PF on the roster in Bradshaw...who was purely a Center in high school. And we dont' appear to be even attempting to pick up a kid who is a good chance to be the best PF on the roster next year if we were to get him. And he's sniffing around at programs like WVU and Kansas St.

Simply unreal what is happening at UK. It's almost like this is intentional to not try to win at Ky

This is what happens when you play favorites with your incoming freshmen. This kid should be our starting PF next season. Ludicrous that we never went after him.

I wanted this guy as much as anyone in the portal.He hasn't even made a decision but Cal won't bother with him.We all know it's because Bradshaw would pout about it.

Down to Baylor and West Virginia.

If WVU grabs him that three very nice transfer portal players for Huggy Bear.

 

[TheBigBlueSpectacle]

I thought Huggins didn’t like fags

 

[bigbluedon]

Amazing that our so-called coach made no effort to get this guy. Frightening. We have no PF at all. This guy is 6’9 and 235. All muscle. And he can play. Screw Cal.

Wait…what?

 

[rob_47]

Anyone know any backstory on why Cal decided not to pursue this guy? Seems like a good fit for what we need.

 

[TheBigBlueSpectacle]

Wait…what?

Im always going to attack vols and Huggins got in trouble for using the word.

 

[kyjeff1]

If anyone had any thoughts that Cal was kidding about his players-first crap and that he doesn't make promises, this is another great example.

He’s not even reaching out to this kid and we all know why.

F this clown.

It is truly sickening. He would start from day 1. I hate Cal.

Haha thanks for clearing that up

Bradshaw told him not to.

 

[Smashcat]

Offer he couldn't refuse?

He didn’t want to hurt Rick by taking one of his players. It’s about friendship with Cal.

 

[bnewt]

wow, Michigan went from not in the final 2 to the pick
must have had a big payday ready for him

It's amazing to me that there were over 1,500 portal players, and Kentucky couldn't land one of them. Not one. Think about that.

Didn't Hunter leave Michigan because he whined and cried they didn't pay anything?

 

[bigbluedon]

This one baffles me the most. Ready made to step in and start and be a big contributor and Cal lets a skinny freshman dictate who should be on the team. Screw you cal. You suck.

Plays the same position Bradshaw was promised.

Commits to Michigan today. SMH

I’m sure we didn’t want him either.
