I'm kinda expecting JQ will basically be Isaiah Jackson. Blocks, rebounds, dunks. Can't score otherwise. That would help but I don't think it improves our half-court offense.

JQ still a lottery pick in mock draft. Guess he will be staying there unless he plays and gets hurt badly.

Ramsey defended Cal until the bitter end too. I don’t really pay much attention to what he says after that. He’s not going to be objective. He’s always going to be “optimistic”.

Personally, I’ve never viewed Ramsey as a pro-anyone type of guy. He was certainly very critical of Calipari but also provided praise. By the way, I still hold to the truth of that myself to this day. There are plenty of fans out there that miss Cal, and I would say for valid reasons under their view of basketball. Some people do hold to the view that pure talent trumps everything else and Calipari was literally the greatest in the modern era at obtaining it. I do not hold that view so I was not as supportive of Calipari late tenure. I don’t see someone being supportive of Cal as disqualifying one way or the other if they have valid critiques or analysis. I still genuinely have no idea why many posters didn’t want Calipari if you pay mind to their basketball philosophies. For me, Ramsey calls it pretty fair and balanced and always has. Easily my favorite analyst out there and I fail to understand why he isn’t a bigger name —- not just his work on UK BB but also college basketball as a whole.

I am hoping he can rebound and blocks some shots when the other team blows by our guards and get inside

You can't help win if you don't play. Worry about tonight, not next month. Tonight's game will set the tempo for the remainder of the season.
