Other teams are literally upgrading and some by a wide margin. I’ll give you the PG spot might be a little better and only from a facilitator perspective.
Not one player on this team currently is better than OO or Aberdeen at scoring. Not one. We could have had Wilkinson but Pope literally waited on Stokes and missed on him. There are several teams in the SEC that have bench players that would start here. That’s the sad truth.
39-1. We're getting there. Just need a super athletic 2/3 that can avg 50 ppg.
I should have read the post and thread closer. I still don’t agree with your assessment but I hope you’re right. I’d be happy to be wrong about it
Imo if we had Momcilovic to go with McBride, Moreno, and Potter, we’d be set enough in the post. Marcios Santos would be a fine value add for size and depth but our real need if we get Momcilovic is Stefan Joksimovic to finally bring our offense to a decent level.
People are gonna overrate this team as well due to all the "Kentucky boyz" on the roster. Some UK fans go full retard for that.
Bill self had Patterson. Last year and he had his hands full with that character now he gets stokes we shall see those unanswered prayers are alot of times the best ones .
I don’t think the team is bad. Just not great. Sadly, many in the SEC loaded up. Florida, Tennessee, Hogshi$s, but we may able to crack the top 6-8 with our current team plays Santeria
Problem is that’s just not good enough to convince boosters and the new AD of keeping CMP for another year. Three straight years of being in the middle of the SEC is bad, really bad.
30 wins? What are you smoking sir? I want all those pills. Must be the good ones.
I wont touch the win total but I am generally positive about the lineup. Some lingering questions:
- Can Kam or Hawthorne be a consistent, starter level wing? I believe one of them will, but there's a chance we end up with two players who are good but not good enough to make that position a consistent positive. Sort of like Jelavic and Dioubate at the 4 last year.
- Is N'Diaye going to come in ready to start? What does he bring to the team besides three point shooting? I expect McBride to be a rich man's Almonor, but not an SEC starter, so we need N'Diaye to prove he can do it
- How will Zoom and and Wilkins fit next to each other? Two primary ball handlers, neither a knockdown shooter.
I honestly like our bench depth. The only real problem I see is Williams as the starting SF. I don't think he has the talent to be a Sec starter, but maybe halfway in the season Hawthorne will be playing so well that he takes that spot.
I'm hoping Kam or Hawthorne can step up and be 10+ ppg on offense and get 4-5 boards a game.
With McBride on board, I actually think we will get more production out of that position this coming year. On the offensive end atleast.
Wednesday of the SEC tournament here we come.... 2027 quarterfinal CBI flameouts..... We won't have to worry about a sweet 16 automatic extension at least....
I keep saying, the reality of the situation is bad enough, there's no need to create hysterical fantasies like some people are. Barring a rabbit-out-of-a-hat stud wing, I think we'll have a year somewhere in the range of Pope's first 2 seasons. We failed to sign our top targets and ANY good freshmen but I'm just not seeing the case for us being terrible. I think we're going to be pretty mediocre.
Is this really where Kentucky has fallen, bets on whether we will achieve a single SECT win? What a pathetic shadow of its former self this program has turned into.
We will likely be playing on Wednesday again so we might get a couple again!!!
"Dribble jumpers" sounds like male urinary problems after 40.

Louisville lands 8pts per game guys and posters here say PK is killing Pope in the Portal! So which is it? He is our 8th man in rotation, what do you expect to fill that spot with?
open the checkbooks...
signed #206 in transfer portal...
Morton is #315.....
what on God's green earth is going on?
if this somehow translates into wins.... I will be the first to own my poop.

Watch the minutes and tell me he isn’t the 8-9th man. You’ve became more negative than most when I used to enjoy your takes.
He took over JJ type role from last season.
dude- are we paying these guys?
to be honest the "caliber" of player barely warants a scholarship...

Pope has set Kentucky back at least 5 years..... Highschool players dont know or want us....
loserville signs #1 transfer portal.... on top of the loads of 5 star top recruits... duke got the #3 player......
WE ARE FIGHTING FOR 206 and 315..
we are irrelevent

Of course, he's paying for them and overpaying to boot.... How do you think he gets any player to play for him just ask any of the team last year... Pope and that Brown decided not to match them this year what they paid them last year and they scattered like cock roaches when the lights get turned on....
I've been asking, can anyone sell me on this kid? Among the starters on a 12-20 Washington State that finished 8th in the West Coast Conference, he had the lowest usage percentage, the lowest true shooting. The only way I'm ok with this is if he's the 3rd string point guard for when both Diallo and Wilkins are sitting (and we stagger their rests so one is on the court as much as possible). He does not seem good enough to be a major rotation player for us. We definitely need at least 1 more guard/wing and for Morton to be no higher than 6th in the rotation of 6 guys at the 1-2-3.
The thing is PK is also bringing in legit top 25 guys. If Pope was doing the same thing it’s 100% a great pickup. But he’s not. He’s bringing in these mid major guys that don’t have the best offer sheet as starters because he simply can’t recruit.
Kelsey has Shelstad, Bidunga, (top 10 transfers) Montgomery, (Elite D guy who Pope wanted) Karter Knox a great 3 and D guy and Folg who has elite 8 experience.
We have Wilkins who is by far our best guy but Zoom cannot shoot and our international guy is a complete unknown. He’s skinny and more than likely gonna get pushed around in league play. Now we’re just getting low level D1 guys.
I don't really care how many end of the bench guys we get. The problem is we don't have any studs. Everyone complained last year about having too many role players, and it might be even worse this year unless something drastically changes. I would love to be positive about next year, but it almost feels like we have the same type team without Oweh to bail us out. Maybe we'll get lucky and the pieces will just magically fit. Who know. Nothing I can do about it anyways.
Hyperbolic much?
Morton recorded respectable measurable statistics in Division I basketball. Euton averaged less than Morton at NAIA Asbury and only lasted 14 games at D1 Akron.
I get you’re negative about everything right now, but let’s not go overboard here.
Totally agree . Nice to see a positive post .
