Trent noah highly motivated and taking nothing for granted back at you
All the lurking 
bag boys should listen.
They've never heard of this player.
He wasn't wanted by the former coach.

Man these 2 KY boys on this upcoming team are going to leave every bit of it on the court you can 100% guarantee that!
I'm thinking we may have a team full of that type player
I don’t think I’ve heard anything from this team and coaching staff that makes me unhappy
It looks like we have a lot of high character guys and they seem to be united. If what we have seen and read so far is accurate, this team will have amazing chemistry
I haven’t looked forward to a season this much in years.

Hope they give us 3-4 years of basketball.
Nothing like watching a Kentucky kid perform and grow before your very eyes.
Watching Reed this year was a breath of fresh air and reminded me why I still love Kentucky.

This is the best part for me personally. I mean results are ultimately what matters… but the last several years I have missed the anticipation. I just couldn’t get excited, and I never in my wildest dreams thought I’d say that about UK bball. So glad Cal is gone.
If he were only good enough to start.
Minutes schminutes.
He was our favorite player.
Houston's too.
That was the problem. The coach hated us. He took one final greasy dump on us on the way out.
Hate is an ugly word.
Cal reminds be a bit of a villain in your favorite comic book. In love with his own ideology.
Never understood why he was wrong or why his fanbase hated the way his teams performed.
Good riddance.
Give me guys with something to prove over the coddled HS kids any day.
If they see the court, we're in trouble.
i don’t necessarily agree. Kids like Perry see minutes on good teams every year. Good coaches aren’t going to sit a kid that can shoot it like him.
False. Pope actually runs an offense to generate looks for specific players. Not some "go outrun and out jump your opponent" nonsense.

But you were fine with Edwards and Bradshaw starting/seeing the court last year.
Weird.
Two of the best scorers in Kentucky HS basketball history. Yep, we're cooked if those guys start draining threes like Prince.
With our previous coach, yes. Cal didnt know how to use players like Mulder, Baker, Wiltjer, who can flat out stroke out but may struggle creating their own shot at times. Most high D1 coaches however do know how to use a player like that.
If they can make sharp cuts they will have open shots, that is a given
You mean "Violent" cuts? Chanelling my inner Jimmy Dykes.

That’s great at Western Kentucky fella not at UK.
Right we’re gonna be like the movie Hoosiers and dazzle the rest of the SEC with no defense or lateral movement, but with fundamentals.
I could also include Derek Willis but I wont because he tended to be a little emo at times but the point remains. He could stroke it but couldnt get a lot for himself.
Games that count?
Not so much.
Shouldn't you be at practice cal ?
Or is this Brad?
It wasn’t from a lack of opportunity. DW had a long leash and played with legit stars.
He absolutely did not have a long leash and only got PT last part of junior year and senior year.
Because that is when he earned playing time. Hes a 3 star project from Kentucky. What did you expect?
Right where I am. I'm very excited to see these guys play in real games and it's just August 1. I'm trying to keep my expectations in check but I think they're going to be a lot of fun to watch and could become a very good team with a real shot.
You know what I mean.Games that count?
You mean like the standings?
Oakland much?
SEC flameout, again.
I'll take earned not given.
You should know about that too Brad.
Great read, thanks for posting, Jeff. Really can't wait to see this kid play and develop. He makes you want to cheer even harder for him after reading his remarks. Hope he truly is willing to be patient and wait fir his chance. Pope is a coach who will play him if he sees him developing to the point where he can contribute. I didn't feel that way under the previous coach.
Not the point.
You spoke poorly of people you've never seen play.
You defended players who weren't very good that you have seen play.
I submit to you that 2 of the top 3 scorers in the history of the state may just be talented too.
I'm sorry I fell for the troll job.
Or you could look at it this way..
If they’re on the court perhaps the game is well in hand and they’re out there to gain valuable experience…?
Yeah a kid being recruited by UK already and a kid expected to get major clock for a conference opponent (USCjr), who beat us last year, are terrible. Cool story.
