Now just drop these
fools tonight for a 3rd time and it's one hellavua day!If one is not up to trusting yet, I think he has earned some benefit of the doubt at least.
I'd love to see in depth season stats on everyone ranked higher than Brea to see how they did this season.
i was checking some of the rankings at least the 24/7 rankings of the portal last year. AJ Storr was ranked fourth lol..
Good read I thought.
Good pickup. The potential of having him around 3 more years if he chooses to stick around.
Only thing I want to know is how is his defense and rebounding? After last night bed crapping, these two things should be top on the list in terms of picking guys rn.
Let’s hope he bursts out next year and realizes that potential. We need more athletes and studs. The fact he can shoot is nice.
How is Bailey’s defense?
yeah but he’s the type who crushes with their second unit, which if we get all the player we should, will be his role I would think.
Don't understand some of you guys. This kid is EXACTLY the kind of player many of you were screaming for all season. Strong,athletic and can shoot, seems to me some of you are more interested in bitching than building a roster
I wouldn't go that far. Averaged 4.5 rebounds per game as a FRESHMAN. That is on par with 5th year SR. Carr and JR Oweh. They both averaged 4.7 per game.
He had 10 rebounds in a game 2 times
8 rebounds in 4 games
7 in a game
6 in 4 games
5 in 4 games
He was only a freshman, his numbers will go up as he matures and gets stronger.
There are a lot of those on here that long for the highly ranked players of the Cal era. Those players usually become the player we thought we were getting in their second or third year. Problem being, they are then playing in the NBA and not for UK. This is no longer the way rosters are built, you get a much better, mature player in the portal. Welcome to the NIL era of college sports. Pope will put a good product on the floor and Kam will produce like the others he brings.
Otega and Carr played less minutes and in a more competitive league
He played 30+ min and only had 4 in average
Have room to improve on rebounding
Some guys flopped. K St? Flopped big time.
It's important to get the right fits! And character/attitudes matter a lot!
If Pope doesn't land top end PG who is quick/fast/explosive ball handler who can breakdown the defense when your offense gets stagnant, he might need to get numbers and go to a full court press that wears down the other teams.
We started out with a nonstop zoom action cutting moving pickn'roll pushing in transition ect offense.
So much that teams and even "duke" battled fatigue in the 2nd half. When the injuries hit that was reigned in a lot! You couple that with a press, and 2 deep that can play, but might not be elite, that could work. But I would rather get a dent, fill in the blank guy!
Some people will complain about anything. This guy is a great get.
LOL, Nope.
Carr - Delaware - 3.6 rpg / 5.1 rpg - Guess Delaware plays tougher competition also.
Carr - Wake Forest - 6 rpg / 6.8 rpg (JR and SR years) As a PF and 3rd and 4th years.
Oweh - Oklahoma - 2.1 rpg / 3.8 rpg
Bottom line, he was a FRESHMAN, those guys have played longer and are older more mature. Also, the AAC is not minced meat, they have quality defensive / rebounding teams.
Not much full court pressing for a whole game in todays college game as in the past. No more teams like 90-91 UNLV, Loyola Marymount, or mid 90's Pitino coached UK teams. Loved the up and down pace back in the day. UNLV was a joy to watch with Stacey Augmon running the point of their press. 6-9 with Inspector Gadget arms was a terror on teams. Mix in Anderson Hunt and Greg Anthony trying to pick your pocket, then IF you got thru all of that, Grand Ma Ma Larry Johnson and George Ackles waiting on you, daring you to drive to the rim. You had Larry Johnson, Anderson Hunt, and Stacey Augmon all 3 average over 2 steals per game. As a team they averaged 11.5 steals per game. Their opponents averaged 19.7 turnovers per game, unreal. They also blocked 8 shots per game.
They scored 98 ppg (which was 4th in college basketball) and only gave up 71. 27 points average of margain. They held teams to 40% FG shooting and a unreal 16% from 3. Averaged 25 assist per game, best team in the history of college basketball IMHO.
We need size to make deep run in tournament
We need a bunch of 6-6 to 6-8 players in the future
This guy is a good start

I agree, we need big guards and dynamic forwards.
