“Perry and Noah with back to back 3s and Ky has blown this game wide open!”
Anyone that is 6'6" and dominated the KHSAA state tournament deserves an offer if you have one. He played on Reed's team when they played against all the five stars including Lebron's son. This kid has played in the elite AAU circuit. I watched him in the third grade and he was skilled back then for that age. Not many kids in Kentucky can be dominant from that many years but he was. Most kids his size quit growing (he was a head taller and stronger than anyone), but he ended up 6'6". I watched him in the region his 8th grade year and the 13th region champions really struggled to stop him. He is a good pickup.
Those three won’t get minutes their first year. Too many good players for them to be in the rotation.
Good to hear from someone who actually has watched Noah play for a long time. Your opinion means more!
You said this in the other thread and didn't get a response. If you really think that then you are a troll or an idiot
Being realistic. If you get Lanier and or Robinson, that’s already a 9 man rotation. Who do those guys get minutes over?
The Fueger tweets are great but it’s a shame all the insiders then ruin a kid’s moment of announcing the actual decision.
Excited for Trent though to be joining the program!

So you really believe these guys are bench warmers? Seriously? Chandler will get minutes
Too many people here are still brainwashed to how Cal ran things.
Probably the same people that was complaining about all the one and dones. I was fine with getting the best talent, but if you have a mediocre year as a freshman you need to come back. Our mediocre young players all declared for the NBA draft after their freshman year.
Im of the ilk if theres a Ky boy with big boy talent you sign em up. Sure sometimes you get jarred carter and jon hood but sometimes you get red shep and darius miller
Stats for Noah last year:
29.9 PPG
10.4 RPG
43% 3pt% on 237 attempts
88.9% FT%
Love it man. This is what Kentucky basketball is all about.

Do you think Pope will go 10-13 deep cause if they fill all the spots that would be where they’d be. It’s a good thing. He’s bringing in a bunch of good players who are upperclassmen.
According to RondoBaller that's only good enough to sit the bench all year. He has posted 3 times and cornbread is thee only one that agrees it seems
Plus now Perry has someone he can relate to. Age wise and state wise.
Noah's the kind of player that kills us when we play them after Cal not offering. Seen it too much. Glad to keep the top instate talent home.
Oh, I guess someone needs to show him what a basketball looks like then.
Always good to have some KY kids who grew up Uk fans on the team. Maybe a little pride from wearing the blue and white rubs off on the other players
Honestly don't know. But I know he went 10 deep in some games last year at BYU and I'd imagine that's with much less overall talent. So I wouldn't be surprised to see him going deeper if everyone is capable. I think he likes to keep guys fresh so that they can keep moving and wear down opponents. With Trent's shooting ability I could see him stepping in to give some breathers and knock down a couple shots while he's at it.
Think we close this out with one of Lanier/robinson/poplar and that the roster. I would like to get 2 of those 3 mentioned but I don’t think it’s realistic
Maybe Chaz Napier or a bug man, oh the excitement of anticipation
I was a bug man....
That a good question? Honestly no clue, with the way pope has done things he may have somebody lined up that we aren’t even talking about.
I don't get the logic that a good player demands x minutes. What's the big deal about 5 minutes either way? 20/20 or 25/15 per game...if a player demands the 25 end of that, they are being selfish, especially if the system demands depth and being fresh. Being fresh benefits the player and the team. NBA teams are looking at performance minute by minute and not basing much on how many minutes a player gets.
JMHO, but we'll go deep into the bench and on a regular basis. I want every player to give 100% for the minutes he gets. Not 75% and play more minutes. Who does that benefit unless the guy is a stud that is far better than anyone else on the team. If that's the case, gotta let him know he's got to be in the best condition of anyone on the team if he's getting the most minutes. 100%, Not asking for more and won't accept less. The ball is in the player's hands at that point.
They could make it work. I want 2 of the 3 of Lanier/robsinon/poplar. I just don’t know if they get 2 out of the 3
