Davis is a 40+% three point shooter. Fland will probably shoot somewhere North of 35%. He was a good shooter in high school. Knox is decent. Richmond and Wagner, not so much. Z obviously can shoot the ball if Cal utilizes him well.
Also, I think Cyril would have cut bait and run regardless. He wasn't expecting Big Z to come back. Brazile basically replaced Quaintance, not Cyril. Aidoo is probably still on the table if Cal returned to UK.
Thinking back, I doubt we get Davis.
Remember one reason Cal reportedly left was that he couldn’t get the money he needed at UK to pay for NIL because the boosters had basically cut him off from it, trying to force him out.
Davis went to the highest bidder, so he wasn’t coming here, IMHO.
Aidoo over Cyril is still maybe an option.
Maybe Cal gets someone else on the cheap to be his go to guy, but if he was still at UK, he probably rolls with Wagner, Fland, Knox, Richmond, and Perry rotating at the 1-3 with Quaintance, Aidoo (or Cyril), Thiero, and Ivisic at 4-5.
Look at Arkansas’ roster, he is perfectly content with 8-9 guys. He brought in a couple of practice players to fill out his roster. He wasn’t going to add many impact guys. He only wants 8-9 guys to work with.
