Florida would be a much better team if Aberdeen were starting there.
14.0 ppg, 4.3rpg, 3.4apg, 1.6spg on 53.0% shooting and 38.7 3pt%. You’re a hater if you’re hating on that.They would love to have him...as a reserve.
Jay bilas said hes the best backup guard in the nation. That's about as blunt as I heard him speak of a player maybe ever.
Right now, hes our best player. So we have to hope these guys gel and elevate one another, because we're just short in the talent department.

If Bilas thinks 300+ schools wouldn’t want that player on their team, he’s a dingusIm not hating on him at all. He gives great effort. He's our best player. Problem is our roster construction needs him to be a star that he just can't be.
It’s extremely damning when you hear bilas make a statement like that. It’s literally the first time i can remember him commenting directly on a player's limited talent level. He never comments at all unless it’s positive.
Don't have a warm and fuzzy about Lowe being able to go full bore for the rest of the year. Hope I am wrong but...Almost any team in the country would LOVE to have Denzel Aberdeen on their team. We haven’t seen JQ yet and Lowe is out with injury.
Aberdeen looks like a starter to me. Not sure what Bilas is watching.They would love to have him...as a reserve.

don't know if this is true, but sad if it isHere’s a fact:
The ‘25/ ‘26 UK team is comprised of Pope’s 3rd or 4th option at every position except for Oweh, who was grandfathered in by default.
Lowe= 4th option PG starter
Aberdeen= 3rd/ 4th option CG
Johnson= 4th option KY kid CG
Moreno= 3rd option backup C
JQ= Injured 3rd option starting C
Jelevic= 3rd option backup PF
Mo D= 3rd option PF starter
Williams= 4th option mid major backup 3/4
Go back and revisit the off season recruiting cycle If you think this is false.
Me either. Aberdeen has been really impressive.Aberdeen looks like a starter to me. Not sure what Bilas is watching.
he looks like a backup being forced to startAberdeen looks like a starter to me. Not sure what Bilas is watching.
His numbers are totally starter quality.he looks like a backup being forced to start
yes he's definitely overperformedHis numbers are totally starter quality.

No. I’m a centrist poster. Y’all have went so far left that I have nothing left to do but call the insanity back to the middle. I can’t wait until people return to normalcy so I can go back to critiquing and having tactical conversations. Fanbase went bonkers.Obviously you don't understand the concept of best 3rd guard. It means everyone would want him, just not as a starter.

The DA thing is a perfect symptom of it. No rational person would argue against him being a starter level, successful roster pickup —- unless you’ve went so far to insanity that it sounds reasonable to say that about a high efficiency guard with good production in every facet.
I didn’t say any of what you’re arguing about lol. Perfect example.What are you ranting about left right and middle?
If you think for a second we're as talented as other teams in the top 10, you really don't understand what you're looking at.
Good news is we can be a sum is better than the parts team, but only if we get max synergy. Unfortunately that's a long way off. Hopefully we can get there.
That isnt extreme at all. That's just a fact. The hilarious part is you railing against this very obvious fact as some sort of voice of reason. Your view isnt reason. Its extremely biased fanship.
well saidOur players are starter level for quality teams. None of them are stars though. That’s the biggest difference between us and teams in the top 10 right now. Our best player would be the second best player on their team.
Why do you feel the need to inject politics? Is it necessary?No. I’m a centrist poster. Y’all have went so far left that I have nothing left to do but call the insanity back to the middle.

I think I saw all I needed to see from that to conclude he's concerned about things that have nothing to do with him, and that his fandom is just an extension of that.What are you ranting about left right and middle?

Mitch hired Billy...and Mark Pope...thats the basketball hires this moron comes up with...Billy...and Mark freakin Pope!!!! He did not hire Cal, and he will get ZERO credit from me for that...Billy Gillispie...and Mark Pope!!!! And I dont think people exactly understand who is waiting in the wings for Mitch's job. We are on the highway to hell folksFeels like I’m in the BCG era when everyone thought the ole drunk was the reincarnation of Rupp because apparently he lived and breathed basketball or some nonsense like that.

Which is what they were when Pope recruited them.Our players are starter level for quality teams. None of them are stars though. That’s the biggest difference between us and teams in the top 10 right now. Our best player would be the second best player on their team.
He’s been ok. But I think he looks better than he is because he’s surrounded by lesser guards. He’s stood out for sure on our squad. He and chandler have been bright spots. Gotta wait a while longer to see if it’s fools gold.Me either. Aberdeen has been really impressive.
If Mark Pope does not work, I would consider Vandy coach as well
Already recruited three four Star in this class, looks like build good roster with way limited sources
Vandy played fun style basketball
I think he is making a correlation. I feel the same way he does. It started when cal was still here. The extreme views smothered the centerWhy do you feel the need to inject politics? Is it necessary?
have to disagreeOur players are starter level for quality teams. None of them are stars though. That’s the biggest difference between us and teams in the top 10 right now. Our best player would be the second best player on their team.
when Mitch does leave, UK needs to find an AD that understands today's market place and what is needed to stay at the top. Someone that has new ideas and not just the stale old crap. The UK tradition is fading. When us old timers are gone, so will the tradition. The fans are the tradition just as Coach Rupp is the traditionMitch hired Billy...and Mark Pope...thats the basketball hires this moron comes up with...Billy...and Mark freakin Pope!!!!

the only boom lately seems to be implosion. Something is off with this group. Last year's group were enjoyable to watch because they gave effort. This group does not.Well Pope didn't get his former player at BYU Richie Saunders and even picked him up the airport. Instead, UK had to settle on Kerr Kriisa.
Been a while since UK got a boom tweet from Cody Fuegar.
