Coleman Hawkins....isn't that a camping cook stove??
I don't know if we will have room for this guy if we get Osobor.
We need guards and wings, not more bigs.
Hawkins is good player and if we hadn’t gotten Carr I would be all for it, but he isn’t worth what he is gonna be asking for
Money will only buy so many players.
Idk how u would play all these guys and keep them happy.

We already have all bigs. We need wings and guards.
Isn't he playable like a wing? He's at least a stretch 4, isn't he? But, could play at the 3?
Sure, but only a low major transfer would be interested in that role. This would’ve been the guy to go after before Carr had he been there the whole time. Happy with Carr, he’s a great fit for Pope’s offense, but he’s a step down from Coleman Hawkins.
Carr--13.5pts--6.8reb--1.5a--1.5blk--37.1% 3P--52.6%fg--78.1%ft
hawkins--12.1pts--6.1reb--2.7a--1.1blk--36.9% 3P--45.1%fg--79.2%ft
I take Carr for defense and offense advantage--much better FG%.

Definitely not a 3 I wouldn't think. Particularly on defense. He can play a 4. However, until this last season he shot below 30% from deep. This year he was at 37%. So it could go either way.
I think we need to pause on the bigs for a minute and get more guards/wings.
Needs Osobor/Boyed. Don't forget UK plays in the SEC, stripes will see these burly guys in UK uniforms and will suddenly discover their whistles. Need copious amount of bigs.
Maybe I'm off, but doesn't it seem far fetched that a kid like this would want to come to UK to be a backup?
I get the Garrison addition, because he probably thinks he can be the third frontcourt rotation piece, but it's suddenly getting pretty crowded in the frontcourt.

Agreed. Still would want him as a backup. With Garrison, it’ll be hard to get Osobor now. I didn’t see Williams and him playing on the floor together with this offense Pope runs. Another stretch four would be ideal.
