You give me 15 Lamont Butlers on a team and the other team just doesn't get to bring the ball up the court. Period.
He played well last game, I would love to have his shooting and size back.
You can never have too many guys that are willing to play a specific role. AA is one of my favorite players because of it
I think we recruit Wilson over Ament hurt our chance on Ament.
If Kerr doesn't play anymore I think he can medical redshirt but other than that no he can't
I wondered why all of the Ament talk just suddenly stopped. Is this the case, that UK preferred Wilson over Ament?
Personally, I’d rather have Ament than Wilson. By all accounts, I haven’t heard that Kentucky figures to be trending with Ament though. Definitely more likely to get Wilson. They are very different players. Wilson is a defense first, versatile player with more athleticism to his game, but Ament is an offensive problem with three level scoring ability and a much better jumper. The Ament comp is a Michael Porter Jr. to give an idea. To me, that would be awesome in Pope’s system but you have to play both sides of the ball and some have Wilson as the best defender out of anyone at his position, while also showing an ability to let the game come to him.
I’m not sold on Moreno yet. He just seems so soft. Guy needs to get in the gym and also needs to find a mean streak. Hopefully it’s just the few times I’ve seen him, but that was my takeaway.
Supposed to discuss it early this year when they meet is all they've said so far..
The only thing concerning for me is the longer this recruitment goes on without Wilson announcing a commitment date.
It’s supposed to be this month. I agree if it goes into or past February I’ll be worried.
Top tier talent hasn’t proven to be better than skilled experience players this year so far.
Talking about last years portal guys it had already been open 20 days before Pope was named coach so he had a late start
Pettiford? LUL Butler has better stats, better defense, and Butler doesn’t get rattled. Try again. Flag is a true 1 and done but when UK played him, he had how many turnovers against our experience? It cost them the game, experienced beat him and his boys.
again, if you can grab player like Flagg, do not hesitate even with one second
Duke is not a balanced team in offence. Duke only relies on he and that white shooting guy in offence. Duke offence is performed purely on talent and almost no coaching system, and their defence is very good. Duke is relied on super ond talent.
Flagg would be an elite player more than he is if he was in our offense. Maybe one day..
True but a lot of the young talent doesn’t have veteran help. Look at Duke who is a more balanced roster. Pretty good. Our best bet is to get future pros, try to get them to stay until absolutely ready. Fill holes and get guaranteed production from the portal.
I agree. My post was trying to say going for one and done guys to fill a team has been debunked as the best way to field a team, at this very same University.
Any new updates from this week? Did see that Wilson will be setting up an announcement date soon.
The 2 national people think it’s UNC now, and just seeing more buzz for them online. I saw where they are trying to sell him on being in the Ian Jackson role, when the 2 are completely different players.
