This pickup screams desperation. Just throwing anything he can to the wall in hopes it sticks. Weve got to hurry up and get the right AD and the right head coach to get this moving.
BB - Washington Center Kepnang commits to UK
- Thread starter BlueBloodKyFan72
- Start date
Yep. I spend a lot of time here.
Been here for two years but boy oh boy, you liking a comment for me “living on this board” has to be one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. Dude who has apparently been here for years, lives on here just like me (apparently) but can’t get along with a damn soul on here. Who on here would vouche for you? @Cardsstink @ColdStoutBeer @DubyaCDubya. I forgot all the others.
Always seething. Mr. Nitro.
I was getting ready to post the same thing. Barnes thrives with these physical bigs. He’s still raw offensively but is athletic with long arms so he should be good defensively, where Moreno struggles.
Excellent pick up and will fill the need for a back up center . Roster is taking shape . One Milan from a top 10 ranking
I forgot all Nitro’s nicknames. Can you remind me of them all, please? The people forgot.
Found this dudes verified with 70k followers so take it for what it’s worth
He should have tried to go to UNCheat or Duke; that would have guaranteed the extra year. Based on history, I don't see the NCAA approving him to go to Kentucky.
Desperatiom is getting a backup for a likely All SEC Center that is on your roster already?
Dude is literally stalking me, but not really since I have him on ignore after catching him posting under his blacksheep alias. He said he had another one when he, for some reason, started a thread saying he was going to use his other one (probably has 50) here and the idiot one on the pay site. Fine, ok. The thing that bugged me was that he defended me under the Idiot alias and "liked" posts attacking me under the blacksheep alias. I loathe two-faced people. Love Ignore. It was made for stalker nut cases, radical lunatics, etc.
My conscience is clean as a whistle as I never, ever use more than one alias once signed up and active.

It’s a new world. Nothing in college athletics makes sense.
He’s obviously a back up
Farther than Indiana
7th year? Good thing this young man is pursuing his MD, right?
Yep. Can’t believe anybody would take Juke Harris or the young man from Baylor. Those teams stunk last year.
Brute of a Center. Tough, might even say mean. A guy that could possibly make Dioubate cry uncle.. Always liked him for the physicality, but thought he was out of time.
Need to get mom and get Ryan hampton oh yeah Moreno come back too
honestly as a backup 5 that will come in and bang around in the post, I don’t mind it at all, we needed physicality desperately and this might just be the key to that at the 5 spot. He’s clearly not coming to be the starter, but he’s as experienced as you’ll find and should be serviceable in the backup role!
During the tournament I posted here that the most obvious difference between the better teams and Kentucky was big, athletic frontcourt depth, guys who could rebound and rim protect and set solid screens and make it tough to score in the lane and score off a lob.
This is exactly the kind of guy I was talking about. An excellent addition.

I'd like to see him set some hard screen to get Noah open for 3's.
Probably. Time for UK to start bullying people like the old days.
LOL. Noah or anyone man. I just want to see bully ball again at UK.
It’s a solid add in a vacuum. But, again like last year, Pope isn’t recruiting guys who fit his system. And, it’s another guy who has been chronically injured.
I get it that he’s only gonna play 10-15 mpg. And, we do need a rim protector/enforcer. But, for Pope’s offense to really work he needs lots of shooting, even from the 5. I guess Potter can be the stretch big, lol.
But, there isn’t much shooting anywhere else, either. That’s my real worry. I admittedly overvalue shooting. But, it’s non-negotiable in zoom action. You can’t trot out a bunch of average shooters & ball dominant players & expect it to work.
We seriously need to land MM or a reasonable facsimile with these last two spots to have a chance at a good season, IMO. Really need to fill both spots with knockdown shooters now.
We have a cpl guys who could POSSIBLY fill the void. But, in a make or break season, that’s a huge gamble. I’ll feel a whole lot better if he can finish out the roster with a cpl of PROVEN shooters. Just don’t have enough, IMO, as is.
LOL @ the grown *** man comments. He will be 25 YO when the season starts. OFC he is a grown *** man, and we used to make fun of other teams for playing people that old.
He's probably better than some international unknown, so at least there's that.
Most likely outcome is he gets injured early, doesn't play much, and Pope and his slurpers have their ready made excuse for a Year 4. He'll spend a year on campus getting paid to bone a few 18 year olds and go on his merry way.

He could be a nice enforcer piece off the bench. Has to stay healthy. I love everything that he can possibly bring to the hardwood.
We will see.
Not sure this staff understands the difference between a boom and a small crackle.

I’m with ya, I just want to see good ball at UK again lol
There is boom potential....if he stays healthy.
Just googled him, big dude but with injury history and "would need a waiver for a 7th year."There is boom potential....if he stays healthy.
I think the word is that the wavier will likely go through. Fingers crossed. I like this guy better than that bum that went to LSU.
