First Takes

[Cats_2010]

I didn’t watch a second of the game, haven’t even seen a highlight and for the first time in my life, 58 years. I don’t care. I’m already with pope in year 3 that I was with tubby in year 10 (actually worse as I at least cared then). Reading everyone’s thoughts I’m stating with my 12-15 loss season (at best). Thank God for Uk football!!!

Milan is going to have to be 2007 Lebron.

We're paying him enough, so surely he must be?

He's definitely not equipped to play PF against SEC big bodies, but at SF I can see him being able to use his height, length, and agility to be pesky on both ends against small forwards. He'll have to use spacing, footwork, and reach instead of strength, but I saw him capable of doing just that.

I don’t think he has that skillset against competent defenders. He could have moments against teams like ULR, sure. But that doesn’t exactly move the needle. He’s just not good enough yet. And he’s had over a year to develop.

Last years team wouldn’t cook anyone

That dude has some of the most ridiculous takes on this board ,lol.

Ok, so who did last year’s team cook?

I didn’t watch the game. I’ve only read the few posts above, none of the game thread. Are we simply going to suck this season?

Mason Williams is our second best player. That's your red flag.

First impression is this is pope’s best team defensively at UK. Lots of deflections, team rebounds and diving for loose balls. All things considered they ought to sell out to that being their identity as a team.

first half offense was really bad. Wilkins might be the biggest brick layer since BJ Boston.

Hey! Show DJ Wagner some respect!

Best player MM #22.

Best improved from last year MM .

Those two are our best to players .

if this teams stays healthy we can probably finish top 4 in SEC, after Florida, TX , and Arkansas.

If either of our MM s gets injured our season is over.

We are too light at center position. not sure what MP was thinking…..


we should have tried harder and smarter to get a dynamic sf or PF that could score of the dribble . We are missing that elite scorer to be NCAA final four team.

is stil early but the team looked out of shape.

Milan is who we thought he was. $6M is still a hefty price tag that draws a lot of criticism but he's going to be UK's best player.

Definitely NOT worth $6 million as an isolated player. However, I cannot imagine what this team would look like without him so he is probably worth twice that to UK.

If Pope didn't land him they were going to be in trouble as I think he is the difference between this team making the NCAA tournament and possibly fighting for a NIT/Crown birth.

Think it was Pope’s first win at UK scoring under 70 points. Feel free to take that random factoid however you wish lol

This team's talent level is below acceptable at Ky.This year may be disappointing but I hope we can find out who our best five is.
