Unfortunately 1 guy rebounding at a solid level doesn’t make you a good rebounding team. Need the guards to use their length to be elite.

I’m hoping Momcilovic can be a better rebounder than he was last year. ISU rebounded really well as a team last year. If called upon maybe MM can be better.

Is that a prediction? No. Is it wishful thinking? Absolutely.

I think Milan is a little better defensively than most are saying. He’s by no means good, but he’s a serviceable defender. What’s happened is people are largely going off his NBA scouting report. Obviously, for many reasons he projects as a very poor defender at the next level. In college, he’s fine.

Rebounding? Bad. That’s why it’d be hard to play him at the 4 unless you have an absolute glass cleaner next to him. I’m not sure if Malachi is that just yet.

I believe Kohler would be. Watched him play some this weekend on YouTube. He’s the perfect fit if something does happen to big Franck. Heck, maybe even if Franck is healthy. Kohler played the 5 at times watching him play Michigan.

I agree. Kohler would be a god-send to this team. With Kohler, easily a top 10 roster in the nation imo.

top 7 to start the year would likely consist of: florida, duke, illinois, uconn, msu, arizona, and michigan. if we get kohler i think we get into that 8-10 range in the pre-season rankings.

kohler just fits on so many levels. maybe not flashy, but what we need

Love Moreno but Franck,Reece, Ndiaye, and Kohler would be a good enough Center depth chart as is

I’m not sure Ndiaye can be relied upon to be a five.

 

[ThreeDogNight2]

I’m not sure Ndiaye can be relied upon to be a five.

He could run as a stretch situation next to kohler

I see what you’re saying now.

Terrible take. If pope had been winning and fans were happy he would have a couple thousand in there actually more this is just a sign of how apathetic fans have become. The energy around UK basketball has deflated.

it was a late notice on a workday. We seriously have some Pope derangement syndrome. Most of us can feel the energy rising this year, but we can also be tentative until we see the results. Some of you just lived to be negative.
