Big Z instagram story ...

Bumping K suave? Didn't think I could like Big Z anymore than I already do.
Next year could be like the 1992 team. Just a bunch of likeable guys busting their *** off for Kentucky, not the nba, not the scouts, not klutch, but UK.
Who’s the other guy?
That's Burks
I'm not on Instagram so is there an actual "story" behind the pic or is it just a pic of the two of them?
It's something kids post just as a quick update to what they are currently doing, which I assume this just means they are in the gym working out.
Just looked at the ESPN early Top 25 and BYU was #14

Bolds well for UK and Mark Pope for next year if he brings in a couple of guys including Robinson from BYU, brings back Big Z, and bring in some portal guys.

Can Kansas find the right combo? Can Flagg prove he's the best player in the country? Here are key questions for each top-25 team two months before the season.

How long do you think before all those NBA pictures come down?
I’m fine w touring NBA guys but it should be pictures of them while in UK uniforms. And title pictures

Think both would do well
Getting excited. Hope they come back and Thiero joins them too.
Either Burks has wildly exaggerated his height or Z is a legit 7'2" or more.
It feels like the fall of the Soviet Union or something. Getting rid of all the political symbolism. Hard to believe our proud program was sold out like this for so long. But no matter. All’s well that ends well — and today was the official end.
I was just thinking about that earlier after watching Pope seeing his office.
I could see them doing something like interspersing the old with the new throughout the entire space.
I like the idea of not replacing but putting every NBA pic mext to a pic from their UK days. Maybe it’s like that already.
After the presser today the history of UK basketball is back front and center and I’m sure they’ll redesign to reflect that.
That is what I was thinking, that is more like a 7” difference than a 5” one.
Ok to be fair, Burks never played. I had no clue what he looked like
Me too I love Burks, I think he has a lot of potential.
Hopefully mark showed up and shot around with them.
Burks should’ve played over Edwards (Cals guy).
He should have gotten more opportunities late when Cal decided to throw away our offense and Edwards was missing wide open dunks. We still didn’t guard anyone some give him a shot. I believe with all my heart that Cal sabotaged our final 2 weeks. He didn’t use what worked on offense, Reed was very tentative, and he never tried anything new on defense to help this team win. He also wasn’t prepared as he relied on a weak X and O’s staff and was looking for a job with nobodies knowledge. He’s lucky we salvaged the rest of the regular season as we could have really imploded after those homes losses in a row.
Wouldn’t surprise me a bit. Right around the time Cals teams typically start getting dialed in defensively is about the time he was talking with Ohio St, of course this team never improved on defense. He was probably already checked out.
He didn’t intentionally set out to do it, but he threw the season for sure with all the dumb **** he did. All the injury game playing and the lack of continuity, incoherent rotations, favoritism. I’ll never forget, Rob balls out in a loss to Tennessee and the next game will be the first with a full roster, finally. Nope, Rob is out. He’s sick, but he’s sitting on the bench with the team. That **** was a ******** middle finger. I could tell about a minute and half into the Oakland game we were done. Just a listless performance. So tight and nervous too.
Burks did play. He even had a monster game once. Real fans would know who he is.
I missed a lot of games the past 4 years. Got burnt watching the same old story play on repeat.
That's what she well leave it at that
That was my thought, too. You can brag/feature NBA talent but not completely wallpaper the practice arena with NBA jerseys. I like the way they've done it in the football facility. Digital board, players names/headshots with the teams they're currently playing for, etc.
Definitely. Able to defend multiple positions. Could be a good 3 point shooter. Big time athlete. Knows how to play a role. Doesn’t hold the ball long. Kid’s frosh season showed a lot of promise and he seems like a really hard worker. He could have a huge jump from frosh to soph.
He's been here under many aliases during said vacation.
