He’d be a backup on any top ten team, but as for here, maybe he thinks he can win the job over MM. I don’t think he’d start right away if at all over MM. I get what you’re saying though and agree. Some kids want to win first but very few nowadays.
Lol, why would he be a backup on any top ten team?

Well because the top ten teams have veterans at the center spot, they have years of big time college basketball experience. He’s a freshman who would need to learn the college game and the coaches system/plays. If you’re asking why he would go there to sit behind a starter, it happens all the time when a kid wants to learn without the pressure to preform right away. I have no idea what these kids think or are going to do, but every single one of them are different and want different things. Saying all that, I don’t think he’s going to come here so it doesn’t matter to me what he does.

Lulz, you think he would just sit behind players because he is younger, even if more talented and better? Are you new to CBB?

It happens all the time that a top 5 recruit goes and sits behind others? Lol, where?

You're right, huge upgrade but they'll still have Calipari coaching them 🤣🤣 how come we can't have nice things 🤣🤣
Yeah because it would be awful to play for the coach that has put more guys in the NBA than any other coach out there. The guy that his players have made BILLIONS of dollars in the NBA.

Would be absolutely awful to play for a top 10 all time college basketball coach. 🤣 🤣 🤣

I mean he can still play 20 minutes a game and not start! Take it easy hotshot and clam down a little. No one is saying your hero isn’t good. Are you new and don’t understand there’s 40 minutes in a game. And all 5 star recruits aren’t the same, Some need more time than others. New to the game? I was new watching Kenny Walker, Sam Bowie , Big Mel Turpin, Roger Hardin and the rest of the 80s teams play great basketball. I’ve saw a ton of so called can’t miss Five stars come to college basketball, start playing against Men and need time to learn how to play with the big dogs.

His in game coaching gets him every time, he doesn't make adjustments, I never once said playing for him is awful.

Lol, you think the #2 ranked player is just looking to come sit and maybe play 20 mpg.

You're right. All 5 stars aren't the same. The top 5 are generally immediate impact players who tend to be among the best players in CBB.

He's number #2, but needs more time?

So you're not new. Does that just mean you're retarded?

He’s not #2 in this class. He’s going to reclassify and probably end up top 12 or so. Meaning he’s still young compared to most college players. No need to be a little puss and call names. Did Reed and Rob not come off the bench for Kentucky ?? Was Reed Not the top three pick? I’ll tell you, they aren’t the only freshmen Five stars to come off the bench either. Grow the hell up.

Is he not #2 in his class, though? So he is probably pretty good, right? Probably not the type to come off the bench.

Lol, pot...meet kettle. Hahaha


Were Reed or Rob #2 in their class? Should they have been coming off the bench?

Top 3 pick in the draft and top 2 ranked player in your class are different things, princess.

It's down to Louisville and Arkansas in reality for him from the scuttlebutt I hear online. He's attracted to Louisville as he used to go school there and he has a base of connections there, and he likes Arkansas due to them having that center position open.

I doubt he reclassifies. I have no facts to back this up, but I don’t remember a single guy reclassifying for next season in may, and I can’t imagine it’s a good idea. Just my opinion but it seems like a rushed decision on his part to get paid more quickly. Let’s be honest here wouldn’t you do the same thing if you saw your former peers now making millions?
