If they can’t it’s going to be the same ol story. I don’t care how athletic you are, in today’s game you have to have some shooters. And wth happened to Frederick? He went from being a decent shooter to looking like me out there jacking up threes.
Can the guys coming in shoot
- Thread starter gomminit33
- Start date
Reed is the only shooter coming in.
Dillingham-very streaky shooter
Wagner- mid-range not a great shooter
Edwards-steaky
- they have to get reeves back and go get somebody better than fredrick who is more durable

Watch these other tournament games and it’s obvious what UK needs: more shooters, better overall basketball players, and a new coach.
Need to go get 2 shooters in the portal. Minimum.
Ideally another guy like Reeves, and then a stretch 4.
If they get reeves back then, maybe just one, but one of two things has to happen. Livingston has to spend all summer working in his shot and handle, and Kentucky gets another shooter at the guard position. 2. Kentucky gets a stretch four and gambles in just reeves again, which it what I fear will happen
Who gives a ****? The same o’l shyster will be roaming the bench next year
... and being a KY kid, he will be lucky to see the floor under Calipari.
Reeves shooting % was what tonight? I’d like him back as another option, but he’s not starting 5.
The problem lies within the coach. Just look so what happened to guys like Booker, Herro and Lamb partially, post season.
We need a new offense to run, or a coach that’ll adapt to his players rather than adapt his players to his offense.

Just don't have it in me to bank on Livingston turning into one. We heard all summer that Toppin was going to become that shooting 4 man we all wanted- and it was a bust (Toppin was great this year, but he was FAR from a threat from deep really).
I truly think we need 2 transfers (3&D wing and a stretch 4) to round us out next year.
doesn’t matter they will play defense like they have a torn labia, other guards will be like they are in a layup line, Cow will say Kentucky is not for everyone but look at the new #1 class i have coming in, the nuthuggers will hug tighter, same ole same ole.
True, Livingston has good from atleast, it just doesn’t ever feel like it’s going in. It’s going to be a long long, long offseason man.
I thought we were hyping this class up? Sounds like more of the same.
I haven’t been, a lot have. I like Edwards alot and think he will be solid, but the two guards are very Jekyll and Hyde, I have no idea about the big guy
The difference is that these dudes are ELITE playmakers. Talent like we have not had since the early Cal years.
These dudes can play.
The same was said about Boston and Clarke before they arrived.
That's true, can't say it's a mortal lock.
But this group coming in just FEELS different- like how I felt in the early years or with Bam/Fox/Monk. Seems like that kind of group.
And they need to be.
No, there are no “sharp shooters” coming in because Calipari doesn’t value it. I love how he then gets behind in these tournaments and wants that one “kinda shooter” that he recruits to bail him out after making him watch the ball be pounded inside, or shoot jump shots, all year.
I just laugh every time I see it. Yea Calipari; now you want to let it rain down 6 with 3 to go in the NCAA’s.
Nothing matters until Calipari is gone. He’s going to value length over skills, verticals over heart, and draft status over program players. You can’t win like that and he will never win again.
Get him out of here.

I give it two weeks after the season starts and all these people that have been saying "wait til next year" will be talking about how overrated all those players are and how all the recruiting services were wrong and that we just don't have enough talent.
"But next year, look out"
It's the same **** every year. Cal needs legit generational talent to win, especially now that he has gotten soft.
Another skinny, weak and inexperienced freshman class. What has that ever got us. Back to the future we go watching them get pushed around again. Didn't we see that movie a couple of years ago?
Is UK even going hard after ‘24-‘25 guys? I think that is the biggest tell on Cal’s future plan.
I feel like we’re arguing the same point, given that link. Not sure what you’re trying to prove? Maybe that lamb was poor post season as well? All in all, Reed Travis #2 in % doesn’t help, and % isn’t an accurate measurement btw.
Cal went and visited the one Kentucky kid that just broke the Kentucky hs scoring record, but that's all I have heard.
Not proving anything, just sharing NCAA FG % leaders, for general interest.

Cow better sell his soul to the devil again to find the next Curry in the portal or it's gonna be another team with length going 4 of 20+ from deep for a quick exit to an inferior team.
We will pick up bangers who shoot 50% from the foul line and can’t jump over a telephone book. Or guards who can shoot anywhere but for UK.
