Its really just like 10-15 miserable Nancies that post nonstop bc their lives are probably equally as miserable
Sure, they can do some things Butler/Brea/Robinson couldn’t but there’s also things they can’t.
Kelly also has 2 All Americans on his team and one of them is a NPOY contender. We won’t have anything close to that. Kelly gets a lot of open looks because of his teammates. Defenses will be keyed in on Lowe.
In my opinion it was always going to be very hard to replace Butler, who I think was one of the best point guards in the country. For Brea and Robinson you have to consider the totality of their game. If you have a push on offense, but upgrade the defense, you have still improved.
We have Jasper, Acaden, Lowe, all can drive to basket when system can not work... This provides another dimension to our game compared with last year. Kobe/Jax (and maybe Butler) can not provide us in this dimension.
Whiffing and giving it his all and not getting the guy is the same, no?
You should probably go root for UL. You will be happier.
I’ve put 4 on ignore from this thread alone. That makes 5 total since I joined; 4 today.
To be fair, there are a handful of Cal only fans that keep the board negative and ******. When you see one, put him on ignore, then do it for the ones you see after. You’ll end up with a handful, then it will be better for you.
As opposed to a rando Kentucky fan?
Used to take a lot for me to put people on ignore. Not anymore. Used to think I was talking to rational people and we could have a reasonable conversation. Gradually came to understand that many of these people are just sick.
Kelcey saying that Lowe was as quick and fast as anyone they will play was good to hear. Said it was hard to keep him from going left and finishing. And can score in a variety of ways. Plays hard all the time. Does not let a miss or bad play affect him. Very effective passer. Does have a lot to work with.
"Oh they're not as sick as they let on" They are just too high strung
I probably have a better grasp on basketball than about 98% of the folks on this board. Take that however you want. Just because some Loserville fan (who everyone on here would **** on to prove their own point just because) watched them play a couple times means nothing to me. It probably shouldn’t to you either, but it fits your agenda so you run with it. Cool.
I can see that. I was never a Butler doubter, I was super happy we grabbed him. He was a winner and proved that so much here.
Difference in getting A player and getting THE RIGHT player. Thats the issue. Don’t lose sight of that.
Interesting take. I don’t have any concerns about his quickness, but I do worry a little about his frame and ability to handle physicality.
And you don’t know who the right player is. You’re a dman fan trying to act like he knows better than the staff. Did you ever think maybe pope can adjust his offense to fit Lowe’s game better
I’d prefer not to adjust the offense to a guy with those numbers, but that’s just me. If we are doing that, tells me all I need to know about where we are.
Christ. I just can’t. I guess I just have higher expectations. Here’s something to ponder. SOMEONE has to score on a ****** team. Doesn’t mean they’re any good.
You calling Kentucky a ****** team this year is all I need to know about your basketball knowledge. Jesus Christ we have some of the worst fans in the sport.
He was calling Pitt that but still he is seriously undervaluing our recruiting class, Lowe and Kam Williams.
Well, Pope isn't done receuiting yet, we should give him the opportunity to get a few more guys out of the portal before we judge him.
That’s on me. Thought you were referring to Lowe. Totally misunderstood what you said.
