It was a good attempt.

Thanks, I think.

Seriously, I know we fans get all goo-goo eyed about the shiny new recruits with the lofty stars and the ridiculous mix tapes. But Baker has been there and worked with the coaches, learned the system for a year and has a sweet sweet stroke. So let's let things play out before we put someone at #12 this early.

Remember SGA? Only a 4*! No one gave him a chance this time last year. Now? He gone.

Biggest thing I like about '18-'19 is crazy depth, something we haven't had in awhile. And shooters! And returning experience.

Go Big Blue!

Because Ball Is Life and they make 100% of their shots in the videos they see.

I would bet money if PJ and JV come back they will start with Nick..Who is better than Hagans and Maxey..Quade may start, but i don't see it

Hard to say until we know who is back, but if we have Washington and a healthy Vanderbilt, they start at the 4 and 5, IMHO. Problem is, Vanderbilt probably won't be 100% to start the year if he needs surgery and hasn't had it yet.

Green probably starts for experience to start the year, but might lose his spot.

I'm going to say the starters for the Duke game will be:

Green
Hagans
Johnson
Washington
Richards

Quickley, Maxey, Montgomery, and Vanderbilt off the bench.

Calipari didn't ask Green to come back to sit on the bench. He's a starter.

How would you know this? It doesn’t sound anything like the Cal I listen to. I could also say he doesn’t recruit two of the best guards in either class to let them sit on the bench just as easily.
I think he would say you are a great player and can compete with anybody if you want or to make it at the next level these are the guys you have to show you are as good as or we want to play faster and everyone would eat...something like that, but never ‘come back and you will start’.

Our guard depth will be stupid if Hagans and Maxey both reclassify. It hurts my brain thinking about how to manage minutes for that backcourt. Why I’m not getting paid millions, I guess.

Two things I want folks to understand as they play this little game:

Quade Green will be very good next year.

Immanuel Quickley will be very good next year.

Carry on.

You are right about Quade. He will be very good! If he will use that bulldog mentality, I think he can be as good as Ulis.
I don't think he had the real chance of leading last year's team because Shai just took it to another level. It may be that Quade got a little intimidated, idk but he needs to be that guy that takes charge, hustles and hopefully he took notes on work ethic from Shai.

We will be platooning.

Agree 100%; and like the idea, too. If all 3 of our bigs come back and the 2 guards reclassify, platooning is the only way to make it work. Not necessarily equal minutes platooning, but platooning just the same. Can't wait, and would love to see it happen.

IMHO, we will only get one of Washington, Gabriel, and Vanderbilt back.

My guess on minutes per game:

Washington, Gabriel, or Vanderbilt- 25
Green- 25
Hagans- 25
Johnson- 25
Montgomery- 25
Richards- 20
Maxey- 20
Quickley- 20
Herro- 10
Baker- 5

6th man: Quickley For guards, PJ for Forwards
Click to expand...

After starting his entire freshman year and then declaring for the draft and trying to go pro, do you really think PJ's gonna be OK with being moved to the bench in his sophomore year?

I think he starts to begin with but then becomes a 6th man Bc EJ provides more scoring potential. And PJ coming off the bench could provide a rebounding/ defensive edge as well as an "enforcer"
