If you’re expecting titles and final fours in this new era, Kentucky basketball just might not be for you.
Kam Williams Broken Foot per Mark Pope
- Thread starter I’m The Village Idiot
- Start date
Kentucky should check the practice facility area for excessive exposure to electromagnetic force (EMF). See 49ers
Somehow these threads turn into a "who is & isn't a true fan fest" lol, back to the topic, does anyone know anything more about Kam?
i literally told someone yesterday that caleb wilson would be the best player on our team and someone said im a unc fan
I read these threads & I'm amazed at how many times people attack other people's fandom over the least little thing. I realize that this board does get trolls at times but some of these threads get crazy with attacks. It sucked not getting Caleb Wilson, he would be one of the best players on this team & I hate North Carolina more than any other team, maybe even more than Louisville & Tennessee lol.i literally told someone yesterday that caleb wilson would be the best player on our team and someone said im a unc fan
Just watched on replay and it looked like he was just running down the court and started limping. What I want to know is why the refs didn’t stop play? There was no fast break and the offense had pulled up, so why didn’t they stop the play?
It was really weird normally a stress fracture is slowly occurring and I didn’t see a twist or anything unusual very unfortunate
At this point a possessed doll is a valid option for Li’l Bro and I wouldn’t put it past them
I sure am not ready to tell a true Sophomore to man up or hit the road. Players like Noah can really turn into a handful for other teams when they become a hardened senior. Remember Anthony Epps. Remember Darius Miller, etc... Those players would contribute as sophomores, but when they were seniors, they sure filled vital rolls on National Title teams. I want to see Noah as a 4-year player at UK. He may or may not ever be an every game starter. But in his 4th year he will be rock solid in any roll he needs to fill.
I swear, Boozer would have done broken his neck had he played for us.
lol. BTW this poster was talking about how UK fans would and should issue death threats to Pope and harass his family. He’s also proof that we’re still Kentucky. Imagine being a rival fan coming on here to pretend to be a UK fan
what a giant loser
Typical. Season ending injuries to 3 of our top7 and its not even February.
The crazy thing about this situation is that Pope is kind of gonna get a pass this year now, like it or not. Because hate to say it, but no team is gonna go very far with these types of injuries. If Scheyer lost the Boozer twins and the 7th guy off the bench, theyre gonna lose games, they're gonna dance in and out of the top25 and probably lose 2nd or 3rd round.
Its gonna be pretty tough to judge this season now, unless we really tank. But Pope is gonna have his first two seasons marred by injury and we will never know how good we could have been with guys like Jrob, Butler, Kriisa, Lowe, JQ and Kam healthy in march.

I have a question for you using your standard of no less than 3rd in conference. Why do injuries get dismissed so easily? Take 2024-2025 season, the Cats finished 3 games out of 3rd place, 4 out of 2nd, and 5 games out of 1st.
Butler & Jaxson Robinson were both out for the regular season losses to @Bama (13pt loss), @Texas (4pt loss). Butler was also out in the losses @ole Miss and home against Arkansas.
Do you really think Bama finishes 3rd with Mark Sears missing as much as Bulter AND Philon missing as much as Jaxson Robinson?
How about Florida? You think they don't drop more games if Clayton missed as much as Butler and Elijah Martin missing the games Jax missed...and playing injured when they did play?
I have no problem stating UK has been and should be the standard in SEC basketball, and I agree recruiting has been rough, and this current roster wasn't as well-assembled as last year. However, it's also ingenuine to use the conference standing last year and ignore data like the significant amount of injuries Pope has been dealt the last 2 seasons... I'm not even counting JQ as he was a risk.
But when hammering Pope for the lack of success, these MUST be taken into consideration...I mean, how do you not?
It was hyperbole ma’am. Get those panties out of a wad there.
Like many others, I think he is going to struggle on defense, but if he can start to consistently hit the corner 3, he can still add value with spacing on the offense and make him serviceable to play some minutes.
