Another new troll making another troll post. My ignore button is going to need servicing soon at this rate.
Bidunga held opponents to under 45% at the rim as the primary defender. That’s NBA‑level rim deterrence. Kentucky hasn’t had a big with that kind of defensive gravity since Anthony Davis.
He is going to be a load in the ACC!

Speaking of which, has anyone heard anything on the Hunter McClintock recruitment? Just saw his 'breakin ankles' highlight reel.
He struggled to stop taller centers. But his mobility allowed him to switch onto guards and defend them well.
All Louisville players are overrated...every single one of them. All of our players are underrated and stars in the making...future hall of famers.
I thought I'd simplify this thread.

The only difference is they have legitimate big men that can hold their own inside. They still have shooters.
They do have a 7-1 5 star Center that should be able to provide some help too.
big 12 doesnt play anyone taller than 6'8. and now he is moving to the 4th or 5th best conference. smart move by him really.
He is 100% the most overrated portal dude in portal history.
I thought that was a ridiculous statement given these (Arizona - Krivas, Cincinnati - Thiam, Houston - Cenac, Iowa St - Buchanon) but the rest of the conference really does have only 6'8/6'9 centers. Interesting point.
If I had to make a choice between having Malachi Moreno or Bidunga, I am easily taking Moreno over him.
Last year the overwhelming consensus of opinion was that at 22$ million, Pope vastly overpaid for the roster he ended up with, and was poorly constructed, in the end.
This year, 20 - 30 NCAA division 1 teams are spending 20$ million plus to construct their rosters. While it may be said all of the teams spending 20$ million+ will have a better constructed roster than what we had last year, there is the simple fact that spending money at the rate the NCAA teams are, it is an unsustainable way to do business.
Looking at dUKe, they have massively spent on the best roster possible, and they got a final four out of it, and made the elite eight last year .... but is paying 40$ million plus for the past 2 years worth that? I cannot for the life of me see how that is in any way "worth paying for" those kind of results with THAT MUCH money being thrown around.
And now you got Louisville paying 20$ million plus .... and I look at thaty roster and wonder .... is it worth paying that much for ? Unless they win a title - NO.

Wouldn’t it be more fair to compare their freshman stats. Flory as a frosh:
| 5.4 rebounds | 5.9 Pts |
You hear we hired Mark Pope to be the HC?Meh, I’m an UK fan so that’s of no concern for me… BTW, anyone hear if there’s any new news on the Stokes recruiting front? Last I heard he was Pope’s to lose after posting live on Instagram, shooting half court shots inside of Rupp.
with Moreno playing behind an All American? probably not.

Not the kind of shooting they had last year, not even close imo.
That had streaky shooters last year. When the 3 didnt fall they tried to go inside but there was nobody there. I think Michigan, Arizona and U- Conn showed you have to have an inside game to if you wanted to have a shot in the tournament
Who do they really have on the inside, FB? Yeah, it's more than last year seemingly but is it really? He wasn't some instant bucket getter at Kansas. I just don't see their roster as something special compared to last year. Honestly, I can't wait till they come to Rupp.
If Louisville can get 13 points a game out of him plus what he brings in rebounding and defensively, they will be more than happy with him. The had a soft Fru last year and a 6-6 PF in Hadley. Conwell looks like their biggest loss right now.
Yeah I hate it, but on paper, they look tough. All around good job at filling the spots they wanted, and I think they’ll end up really good by season’s end. I have to say, we are probably a bad match up for them and beat the dog poo out of them this season!
Personally, I really like their coach. He has great energy, his players seem to love playing for him and I actually like their system he runs. I think they were a better team when Brown Jr was out and they played more team basketball. Still hope they lose every game they play from now on, but I do like the little guy. 
Louisville has some pieces but no star. No dude. In some respects it reminds me of our team last season. I think Kelsey bought a bunch of role players. Several of which have a history of injuries. We'll see.
He averaged over 16 minutes per game. Was Dickinson standing on his feet during that time?
MM will be able to assert himself. Wide-bodied and much taller. Bidunga is stronger, but MM should be able to overcome that
They were not close to a better team with Brown outYeah I hate it, but on paper, they look tough. All around good job at filling the spots they wanted, and I think they’ll end up really good by season’s end.

And Morino averaged 22.6 compared to Flory 16.3 which if my math is right is 38% more.Are his stats more than 38% better?He averaged over 16 minutes per game. Was Dickinson standing on his feet during that time?
I think Kelsey saw the writing on the wall and realized you need to have a top flight inside game to go deep in the tournament. Its hard to depend on hitting 3's 6 games in a row. I wouldn't say they were better with Brown out. When fully healthy he was one of the top point guards in the Country.Yeah I hate it, but on paper, they look tough.

Don't you know, Trent Noah wouid average 25 ppg at UL. Can hardly get playing time here. What's that tell you?
No. I would be suprised if he averaged 10 points a game at at Bellarmine.
Yeah. I just thought the team seemed to play harder with him not in there jacking up so many shots. He’s a heck of a player tho. I think he tried too hard to impress the scouts more than being a great teammate. Maybe it’s because I saw a lot of that the past 15 years. lol. I’m definitely not saying he isn’t a great young player, it could also have been they knew they needed to step up without him to. I agree with the big guys , he done a fantastic overall job in my opinion getting their inside game in good shape. Big Frank is going to need to be rough and take care of business.
Well what do you know, we finally disagree with something.
. I just think they played more as a team and looked better. Played harder as well, probably because they knew they had a chance to actually get the ball a little more.The big problem is they built the team around him and when he went out they were kind of lost with no true point guard.
The dumbest stat in sports is height without shoes. +/- for a single game is right up there as well
Think what you want but none of that is even remotely accurateWell what do you know, we finally disagree with something.
