Perhaps having the game split in to quarters helped, but for a team that just got together a couple of weeks ago I thought everyone who hit the court today was in really good to great shape already.
Was it me or was the team's conditioning phenomenal looking today?
- Thread starter crawfords corner
- Start date
Agreed. And I like the four quarters. Especially how fouls reset. Never turned into a god awful free throw contest.
Wish the NCAA men's game went to 4 quarters, everybody else plays quarters.
Wagner looked like he could run forever. Was really impressed with him today.
But they can’t do it in January when Cal stops subbing and 6 guys are playing forever. By tournament time our guys are dead.
This is a valid concern. I’m really hoping getting Ugo and Bradshaw back, along with a late August surprise, will set this team up to have “bulletproof” depth.
The last rotation guy today was Burks. That dude can play, given time and strength (I know, I know). This team has quality depth unlike we’ve had for at least four years.
Of course we have to use the depth for it to solve the attrition problem.
Agree. Actually thought he looked like he had put on some needed weight imo.
Reed and Thiero are really put together. DJ and Dilly couldn't weigh over 180 lbs. Reeves looks the same to me. Burks has decent size too actually. Bigger than I thought.
I think Burks will play some this year, much bigger than I thought. Wagner is the first UK calibre point guard we have had in 3 years. Reminds me a bit of Fox. Will be a star before year is over. Dillingham is also a pleasant surprise, great handle( something we really haven't had since Ullis) impressed with his defense and effort, will only get better. Sheppard will be a star at UK if he stays a couple of years, very solid defensively, great court awareness, if he can hit a few shots he will play alot this year. Finally Mitchell was better than advertised, especially his shot. Teams can't simply collapse in when he is on perimeter
For some reason the four quarter games seem to go twice as fast as two 20 minute halves. I feel like I get cheated when they play four 10 minute quarters.
Looks like Brady Welsh is the real deal.
Truthfully only had Adou and Ugo to really put time in with and it sure shows.
Reeves in hindsight could have used an off season with Brady. Mitchell as well but that was impossible.
Not sure during the season how much a player can add in weight and strength. Maybe Burks and Hart can add a little bulk. The others are playing alot.
We missed a-lot at the rim. Fox did as well early in his time but was money at the end as a finisher so I expect DJ and Rob to get there. It’s a big change from HS. That will help this team
