Who else thinks Oweh and Brea need to be the go-to guys?

[HerrosHeroes]

We seriously have about 6 "go-to guys"

St. Pst, would you say that Im one of the go to posters on RR?

I'd like to see Noah get Chandler's minutes

Love the kid but I’ve seen no reason to think that.

We have 4 go to guys and you named 2 of them. The other two are Robinson and Butler.

Its scary to think we have 4 when most teams have 1 or 2.

But after all-its our birthright and the deep pocket Kentuckians that love basketball as much as we do have forked out enough dough to get these guys in the bluegrass and of-course Coach Pope, and we are literally an unstoppable force already.

You guys know we will only get better and better with all the Upperclassman playing more and more together and gelling under Pope’s tutelage.
Ill say this, despite the brutal schedule. If the Zags dont get us early in the season we might run the table.

UK is simply that good, that deep, that experienced and that well coached.

In basketball are we able to redshirt kids after so many games played like football?

Since you asked, No.

Stay ahead by 20+ and you don’t have to worry about a go to guy

 

[RondoBaller21]

Carr looked awfully good in the Duke game. It seems like he can be relied on big games down the stretch as the go to guy.

Brea needs to play until he’s so tired he can’t make it up and down the floor.

Then you would see his shooting % drop significantly.
It's going to come down some anyway (regression to the mean), since no one in the history of the game at any level do I think has made > 55% of his 3's.

Noah has shown absolutely nothing to warrant that so far. Your bias is showing

 

[billoliver40]

I think we got a whole lot of go to guys.

And that is really special.

 

[billoliver40]

Noah and Perry have a ways to go but plenty time to get there. Chandler is older and it shows. More strength, steadier....not likely to get carried away and a little out of control.

Their day will come somewhere. Learn, grow, get stronger, practice.

 

[BassProCat]

For the first time in 10 years I feel like we have a coach that will actually play his best lineups so I’m not too worried

Hell yeah.

 

[Cleatortoises]

Brea needs to play until he’s so tired he can’t make it up and down the floor.

The coach said they use a device in practice that tracks the moment their performance begins to slip due to fatigue. They compile the data and use each players individual numbers to determine substitution patterns.
Sorcery.

I get wanting to see that bc Noah is the better shooter and a KY boy.

Reality is, Chandler is a significantly better all around player and athletically can defend at this level at multiple positions. Him being more versatile is why he’s ahead of Noah. Noah is the better shooter but not better 2 way all around player at this point. As a deep bench sub, it’s really just about how versatile you can be to plug and play at multiple positions without being a liability on defense.

All players now have 5 yrs. In effect, there is no redshirt anymore.
Why do we need A go to guy?
They are all go to guys, and that makes it tougher for the enemy.
40-0
Cats by 90.

I was watching a game the other night. I forget which one. But the team had 1 returning player. He was a Sophomore and the announcer said he decided to redshirt.
I couldn't believe it. But I guess Redshirt is still a thing. Like you I thought that was over.
