Hard to know much about the OTE guys, let's be honest. Could be highly a highly underrated pairing in Burks and Cyril. Or, they could be projects. Here's a WILD idea: let's just wait and see how things go.
Was just told Somto Cyril to UK.
- Thread starter MethodUK
- Start date
Cyril + a Reeves return stops the bleeding, but will still feel like taking back a probable cheater after she's been out all night "with the girls" when it comes to BBN's lack of trust in Calipari.
Apparently Oscar if he goes undrafted can come back, he isn’t but I just saw a guy on Twitter talking about it
At the very least.
He could end up splitting time pretty evenly with Onyenso. I don’t see Onyenso as a 30 minute a game player at this point.
And Cyril, because of his physicality, could end up the starter and log more minutes than Onyenso.
But a solid backup to Onyenso is probably my best conservative guess, but I really do think they will split minutes pretty evenly this season.
Based on what we read and what we saw last year ,at the very least they will split time. Cyril is the likely starter by late Dec or January
I wonder if Thiero has outgrown being a guard? He was on the north side of 200 last year, I can see him being 6'8" 225 by the start of the season. He could take a bigger leap than Onyenso this season.
If he doesn’t get drafted they made a rule now where they can return to college if they want to by a certain deadline
If you had seen him play you would know that he got the left overs from all the guards and firwards that wouldn't play team ball. He's a monster under the basket on defense, swating balls anywhere near the basket. He's young but has tons of talent that we need. My prediction is he will be a star
Unless we add a good PF/4, Theiro will be our backup PF.
Even before his recent muscle gains, he looked to be our most physical player for next year.
We will probably add Cyril and be done with the frontcourt.
PF Bradshaw/Thiero/Burks
C Onyenso/Cyril
Thiero starts at PF, if Bradshaw is (as rumor has it) out.
Still too thin inside. One more injury to a big and Canada logs important minutes at PF. That’s a scary thought.
Who's it on then? The boosters? NIL?
Kids sometimes just don't pick a school. I get that. Most of us do. But from what we know the main reason was he didn't know if Oscar was coming back so he didn't commit.
My opinion is they should of just let Oscar roll out leaving a sure spot for another big man. His heart has been set on the NBA.. not a return. He's guaranteed no$$$
Cal defenders will never hold Cal accountable for anything bad. However, they will give him credit for all that goes well at Kentucky.
I think Oscar decided he wasn't hanging around after Cal trashed him for calling him out for yelling too much at his players. Cal left him on an island when he could clearly see that Oscar couldn't guard his man without help. He made sure that Oscar remembered who was in charge.
Ugo can shoot, and make, free throws and hit an outside shot. Shamto can't do either. Sham has good hands and will not fumble a lob and he also has good feet from his soccer days. He will be effective down low on both ends of the Court. I would not expect much more than five points per game on average. He'll get better as the season rolls on. And another thing you don't want sham dribbling the ball and for that matter Ugo is better with the handle but you still don't want him handling it

We need Cyril to pound on D and to rebound. Maybe bradshaw can be a real offensive threat but that’s the extent of it. I don’t expect ugo to be an offensive world beater
Hey, great info regardless. Well done sir. I'm with you, still think they hope he can reclass for this year.
Yeah, there is a lot of smoke about adding another big. If we are really getting this Oregon assistant it could be Dante.
