I don't think Oweh is the type to stay in the draft because he'll have to compete for playing time. Pope is trying to win championships. Cal for sure would have held off developing the roster so that guys testing the waters didn't get their feelings hurt.
Aberdeen to UK!
- Thread starter senonesy
- Start date

If this past year tells us anything we need to sign 25-30 more.
There was very few games UK had all of there players healthy
Man the good old relentless press. The run and gun offense. We sure have the horses to back it up next year and wear some teams OUT!!!!
It is always about money. Silly to think otherwise. Some guys do pick schools where they can shoot as many shots as they please but it would be foolish to think that those guys also are not lured in by money.
Good Lord, the motor this team SHOULD have next year will be intense. Not sure if we've seen it since the 15' campaign and platooning. I'm almost at SHOCK level looking at the athleticism, strength and increased rebounding ability this team will have - over and above the energy and effort aspect.
If this team plays with its' hair on fire on both ends of the floor, it's gonna result in some real beatdowns next year, all we gotta' do is wait and see.

Where is @Butters' Dad anyway ?But according to several goobers on here we don’t have the $ to compete with other schools.
Do you idiots ever stop to think that maybe we just don’t want to bust our whole nut on 2-3 players???
and with that many highly intense players, it will spread throughout the entire roster.
It only took one guy in Alijah Martin to bring that defensive edge and dog like mentality to help change our defensive issues. Having a bunch of guys that can buy in to playing hard nose defense and holding others accountable will definitely pay off.
.efil a deen I seY .sdrawkcab sgniht teg ot dnet I sa siht no tnemmoc dluohs I fi erus ton m'IHe is saying that we will have more depth and more talent incoming on this roster as opposed to last season.
Jeez, this team is stacked. This is going to be a long summer waiting for BB season to start.
I know the figures, and I suspect your information is incorrect.
Also, today's add, the news of our $20mil NIL, and having our roster complete.. warrants this gif. I use it sparingly, but I think it's deserved.
He reminds me a little bit of Antonio Reeves in his overall playing style and body language, but doesn't shoot near as well from long-range or the free-throw line. My sense is that he is a much better defender, which will be a big plus for the team.

RP was the one who introduced the two fouls in the first half and you sit philosophy. It was how he distributed PT with a deep roster
The only part that might be incorrect is what Kentucky ended up paying him. Everything else is known. But not trying to argue, congrats on the pick up.
Thank goodness. We don't need stuff leaked so people online can bother the kids before they even committ, say kids aren't any good (like they have any clue), Pope's making all the wannbe detectives look dumb.
Probably at Cal’s house for dinner.
A great ending to the roster a guy giving championship experience like Butler had. Also next year all the whiners crying week 1 of the portal, please zip it next time thanks. 
What did he average when he started due to injuries? Answer 14ppg, 4rpg in 27 minutes instead of 19 or so minutes being broken up. I think he will be fine here. Tons better player than his stats.
This dude is big and has handles. I like.
Don't worry they will be back one has a post already that states we have to many players now and want be able to keep them happyA great ending to the roster a guy giving championship experience like Butler had. Also next year all the whiners crying week 1 of the portal, please zip it next time thanks.
Don’t forget about the Central Bank guys when it comes to donations. They paid over $1million for a single country ham during 4H’s charity auction. I’m sure they throw in on NIL.
If he had played at ****** Sam Houston like that idiot Lamar he would have the same huge numbers.
Pope has been amazing. If anything I just want to thank him for getting my Dad back interested in Kentucky basketball. Cals last years I couldn’t even hold a conversation about UK basketball with my dad. Now he’s texting me saying he’s pumped up for next season! So just for that alone thank you Coach Pope.
Looks like we got what we all felt like we needed, and Aberdeen being available this late in the portal cycle, with all the intangibles the staff is looking for .... Good Lord, what a monster roster !
(I said wayyyyy back in January, after the awesome start, just before the injury situation killed us, when we were a possible 1 seed projection .... "We will be preseason top 5 after CMP gets his roster NEXT year" .... looking at the landscape now, I can see why Houston and Purdue would be projected 1,2. Kentucky solidly sits at #3 looking at it on paper, just like I felt - and said - we would be.)
And it's not like preseason rankings mean squat .... Yet the roster look has the feel of a final four contender from the very start next year. And I said ALL ALONG to have faith and trust in Coach Pope. He loves Kentucky basketball, breathes and lives it every bit as much and more - than the fans do. Is everyone finally convinced now ? Personally, I feel even better now, having a simple faith and trust in Coach Pope that we would be in good hands for a LONG time.
Proof ain't only in the puddin' any longer ... for BBN, it's in the ....
BOOM !!!!
Go Big Blue !
PS - and who wouldn't be surprised for yet another addition ? It got crazy talented here in a hurry, didn't it ?
Sounds on par lol. It's like you could a) relax let the roster work itself out b) kick and scream at every players commitment elsewhere. It's ridiculous.
I'm looking forward to watching Wilkerson get his moronic *** torched next season when Kentucky plays Indiana.
Rondo sure would look good on that bench beside Pope.
Yes, it’s all about you and what you said.

I’ve heard about the 96 team my whole life. It’s always been “ that’s by far the best college team to ever exist “ so I will be happy to see something similar one day. The Wisconsin year probably wipes that team out if they brought that championship home but they didn’t so I’m still waiting.

I hope Pope uses the press at least some. Flatout no excuses now.
This team is long, athletic and deep. Let's go!!!

Well Got Datum.... didn't know that.
Did he teach that to my middle school and high school coaches that did the same things from 1970-75?
Touching up his Earned Not Given tattoo, trimming his line beard and shopping for chains, turtlenecks and other "drip."
Well written article from 4/19 on what Aberdeen brings to the table:
Appologies if posted already.
