Exactly, plus he was one of their only threats. I’m sure he saw a lot of attention. Can’t do that on a better team. How many 5 star freshman come in and score 15 a game? I’d say he’s closer to 18-19 here honestly.
Trilly Donovan AKA Norlander said this about Lanier
- Thread starter LXWildcat
- Start date
I listened to it again and norlander does say it looking like Kentucky with Tennessee second
Lanier committing to Kentucky tomorrow would be great(not happening probably)
Some random Kentucky guy on their said he is on commitment watch and it’s Kentucky most likely, I just sent a screenshot so I have no clue if it’s true or not
Humm. lol. Sounds like a little something something may be brewing round herrr Ha.
Lol, exactly what I said. He had a bad game against Georgia and a good game against LSU.
I didn't know holding someone to 16 pts was a bad game. He made 4 threes in that game. He must suck.

Moses has a high standard man, it just is what it is
I've said multiple times I don't want us overpaying for guys but this isn't one to walk away from if the bidding gets uncomfortable. We need to close on 2 guys like this to finish off the roster.
Yeah seems like it. Pope is working hard bud.
I agree, pope is putting in work. Let’s close the deal with Lanier( fingers crossed) then give Tennessee fans hell
YES.
We need Lanier AND Robinson.
Miss on Robinson and have to get Wooga.
But either way, we need 2 of those guys to round out the roster, and at that point I will feel like we are a legit FF threat.
Right now I think we're in the 6-8 seed range.
Pope needs 9-10 regular rotation guys to play his style (pace) of basketball.
He doesn't grind in the halfcourt or hold the ball when he has a lead.
Something we will all have to get used to again.
Pitino Ball is back, baby

If we pressed like Pitino's teams I would go from 6 to midnight.
I’d say that’s pretty close and add Noah if he decides to come. They also may want another inside playing forward type if possible or if they miss on Robinson but I really like Wooga as well. Some great options still doing their thing and time will tell but I’m liking where we are headed.
If we got Lanier and Robinson stayed In the draft, I wouldn’t mind Kentucky looking at kugel if he becomes available again
Interesting player, got solid playing time as a Sophomore and Junior as a part time starter, but wasn’t very productive at all. Decently efficient but averaged under 5ppg both seasons. Broke out big time in his Senior year.
Being said that dude’s parents are impressed with Pope. TIFWIW.
I would be shocked if Brea doesn’t start. It may be at the 3, but just because Cal had his best shooter come off the bench doesn’t mean Pope will. Pope may even run plays designed to get Brea open threes. I’ve heard of coaches doing that.
Brea and Oweh are both listed taller than 6'4". That's not undersized at the 3 for college.
6'2''-6'4"-6'6" in the backcourt wouldn't be considered small in college.
A Kerr, Lanier, Brea, and Carr lineup combination would feature 4 players who had a TS% in excess of 60 last season. Garrison was barely below at 59.6 last season and Williams can get there with better shot selection. There are some potent combos brewing on this squad.
Well. Obviously not all of them do, but I’ve heard stories from older folks that some coaches don’t simply have the players go make a play, but they practice over and over again plays that actually create open shots. I know it sounds crazy, but they tell me it actually worked. Rumor is that people in Utah saw it happen fairly recently. Of course you can’t believe everything you read on the inter web.
Wouldn't that make him more a Vandy fan than UT? If he grew up in Nashville and liked Vandy, maybe he doesn't like UT as much with them being their rival?
I’m with you. I don’t donate money at all. But if I was I certainly wouldn’t donate to people who make more than me.I didn't say anything about him. I was talking about the first part of the post. Stop assuming
My time, on the other hand, I donate quite liberally for charity causes for those less fortunate.
He was fine with coming off the bench for Dayton for 4 years. Stepping up to P5, I think he’d be fine with that role here. Every school on his list was a place that tries bring in 2 great players at each position and let the chips fall where they may. He’s going to compete for a starting job here, but he’ll have to earn it. The best part is, he’s going to play the minutes he deserves to play. Won’t be a hot shot 5 star who can’t hit anything from the perimeter getting run over him.
I think we need another power forward, assuming we get either Lanier or Robinson and maybe Noah. Brea is plenty big enough to play the three; last year we had either Edwards or Reeves there and he's as big as them(I know Edwards was listed taller but played shorter). And Oweh looks like he could guard a grizzly bear.
Why do you assume they assumed? They may have intentionally misinterpreted your post!I didn't say anything about him. I was talking about the first part of the post. Stop assuming
