Aberdeen to UK!
- Thread starter senonesy
- Start date
Sounds like some stupid **** Cal would say after 2015.
Pope going to just absolutely abuse his 'burst' play rotations and try to run teams out of the gym
He's already proven he doesn't pick favorites based on rankings or hype and everyone should feel their playing time is earned off of hustle and analytics.
Last guy decided his starting line up before they even showed up on campus and stuck with it all year SMDH
It’s gonna cause massive problems….for our opponents!
This has been debated several times. Let it go. You will be surprised how well he will shoot this year.
I thought Oweh visiting the B&G project with Garrison and Noah might be a good sign he will be back?
We can joke….but please don’t forget that Ohio State did exactly this and won the national championship in football this year! Splashing the cash does work!
It's just a natural curiosity for me cause it's still fresh and you just naturally want to compare but I don't think there's anyone who want to trade our current roster for the one in Fayetteville is there? It seems the chicken money was supposed to buy him the best rosters available and it hasn't seem to happen yet. Seems we definitely benefited from the split thus far.
I'm so glad I deleted twitter and don't care about that stuff so I don't have to constantly throw out flaming hot takes like some of these dudes paying for checkmarks.
I'm positive Pope has kept Oweh in the loop at every single moment and roster decision and Oweh knows he's got a spot here when he gets his feedback and withdraws from the draft.
And I'm sure Pope and donors have worked out his NIL when he comes back too lol.
What a dumb take
Oweh not going anywhere. He's not on draft boards.
He’s definitely a good player who adds more depth and versatility in the backcourt. I do have to admit that I’m a little bit surprised he’s the one we allegedly broke the bank for after seemingly backing down from bidding wars on other players who seemed to have more proven star potential.
It’s an interesting approach we’re taking. We definitely have a lot of depth and shouldn’t drop off much at the 6-10 spots in the rotation, but I’m not sure we have as much star power 1-5 as some other teams will. Hopefully ours will prove to be the correct strategy.

This guy and Oweh will be a terror defensively. Opponents won't want to come out of the tunnel
Did you forget to switch accounts? You went from "big get" to your usual "Eeyore" take all in the same thread.
CBS sports has Kam Williams ranked at number 44 and thinks he may become one of the most exciting players in the country. Pointed out he has strong analytics with 40% from deep and his defensive numbers. Also said at 6-8 he is what the protype player in the pro's looks like with the attributes he has.
So yet another very good defensive player on the roster with the likes of Quaintence, Aberdeen, Diaboute and Oweh. Has to be one our most athletic teams over time.

Yeah? You think fan support is why Aberdeen transferred?
Come on, mate. Kentucky blew UF away on the offer. Kentucky had extra money to spend and Aberdeen was willing to take it.
Lowe/Aberdeen/Perry
Oweh/Johnson
Williams/Chandler/Noah
Jelavic/Dioubate
JQ/Garrison/Moreno
I have a similar rotation. There are tons of fun lineup combinations to play with thanks to the versatility of the roster. I think I might actually prefer starting Aberdeen at PG with Oweh & Williams on the wings. That trio would be super athletic & a tough matchup on both ends.
I’m also hoping that Jelavic can win the PF spot bc without knockdown shooters on the perimeter, we’ll need someone at the 4 to keep defenses honest & maximize spacing for our perimeter guys to attack the basket. And, he’s no bum, defensively, & can add secondary rim protection. Foul trouble should be nonexistent with so many interchangeable parts.
That’s a top 5 roster in the country next season. Possibly a case for top 2 (Houston is going to be really good)
He is a 2 all the way. He isn’t a PG.
I don't remember this guy at all. I saw our game with them of course, and a couple of their other games, but don't recall his being a key player. Was he backing up Clayton? His stats for the games he did start are impressive though.
Do we have any updated preseason rankings? I see some have us as low as 16th lol. But I know that was before we added some pieces.
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.
On 3 had us at #5 before the Aberdeen commit.
I'm not super impressed with the teams ahead of us either.
#1 Houston
#2 Purdue
#3 Duke
#4 Louisville
#5 Kentucky
Goodman said he also had us at #5 before today, but now has us ahead of Louisville.
A healthy JQ probably puts us as #2.
He asked for more money than we paid Alijah Martin this year and more money than we paid Clayton Jr last year. We offered him more than we paid Alijah. Seems like a fair offer to me. I would think that UK had to probably give him close to that 2 mill
Goodman says our NIL is 12M.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 sure ain’t leaving because he’s scared off by Denzel Aberdeen
I love this pickup but Oweh is still arguably the best player on the roster (depending on the health of JQ)
I think Darbyshire is transferring bc his dad was one of Cal's guys and did a lot of with camps and NIL with him. Pope most likely doesn't need hi dad anymore, so Grant moved on.
Looks like we are platooning again except with an actual coach this time.
I used to believe there was only two genders, but I think JF Cats has his own.
Pope is a excellent X and O coach. (I’d like him to make those adjustments in the first half this year though.) This roster isn’t going to be manhandled by the SEC this year. Last year we had skilled players, this year we have skill and athleticism. This year the game plan of playing rough isn’t gonna work.
I'll be the first to admit that I get panicky when "insiders" and the media say that we've lost this of that player, but Pope can build rosters.
We will be vastly upgraded defensively and athletically at the 2/3 4 and 5
If we can shoot we will be one of the 5 best teams in the country.
