    How good can we expect Carr to be?

    I have seen a lot of tape. I don't see how you jump to these conclusions. They are totally different players. Carr played 2 ACC seasons and wasn't that good until last year. Even then, he scored but he couldn't defend on the floor because he gets shoved around. Williams has never played...

    How good can we expect Carr to be?

    Carr can shoot, but he is not very physical. That goes with his build.

    Really Worried About Taking A Loss In UL Game And This Is Why.

    I am not an apologist for Cal's idiosyncracies and coaching inconsistencies. But if you think UL has a realistic chance to beat UK, you are not thinking clearly. I cannot concur with any of your suppositions.

    When you know you hit bottom......

    What's happening is a shame. Coach Payne is a quality person and a smart basketball man. People like him, and he has loyal friends. I won't say I know him well, because I don't. But I have enjoyed our occasional discussions. He was a great associate coach for us and a good assistant for...

    Big Z Officially Admitted to UK

    So all that bashing, bellyaching, and recrimination for the last couple of weeks here was over nothing. All the slamming of UK's Admissions Department was directed at good people who did their jobs correctly. Will people ever learn?

    With Big Z officially here, what is our ceiling NOW

    I don't thing it has changed that much. This big guy Ivisic might end up being pretty good, but so are Bradshaw ann Onyenso. It's our deepest position. Let's see if Ivisic can play in the SEC without fouling every other time down the court. This was a talented team before Ivisic became...

    What will be (and what should be) the reaction of our fan base if Z is not admitted here ?

    Serious question. What makes you think fans getting pissed could or should supercede the university's admission criteria? Some of you are acting like this would be the first time in history that one school could not admit an athlete under its standard rules. If an athlete doesn't literally...

    This is it

    Every Kentucky basketball team is talented. Every damned year, we are. But we all know Kentucky's NCAA Tournament record since 2019. One of our best players just had surgery on his foot. Only 3 of these guys have ever played significant minutes in a college basketball game. Seven freshmen...

    This will ultimately be UKs starting five

    Bradshaw is missing the Toronto trip and most of the summer conditioning. You used the word eventually, so maybe you will be right before 2024 rolls in. Or not. We do not even know when he will practice again. I know Bradshaw is a premium player. We all do. But under these circumstances...

    This will ultimately be UKs starting five

    You are very presumptuous and full of yourself. Speaking for myself, I have watched Sheppard a lot. All star games, high school games, and last night. Far more than you are presumptuously guessing. Sheppard is a versatile, well rounded player who scores from midrange and the perimeter. The...

    This will ultimately be UKs starting five

    You are going to be right about Onyenso and Bradshaw. Onyenso is what he is, an impact rim protector who will get OJT as an interior scorer. The more Onyenso plays, the better he will be. Bradshaw thinks he is a 4, which tells me he is nowhere near doing what Cal will require him to do...

    UK 93--candians 69 box score

    Thanks for the boxscore! I watched the game last night. I suspect this team will get labeled as deep. But this is not a deep team. I suspect this team will peak early and then get ground down more or less in the SEC season. But the thing that will define our season is how well Mitchell...

    Rob Dillingham

    Dillingham is potentially an impact player, but I agree the game is coming a little too fast right now. His speed and handle are elite. He is thinking too much, and I suspect he does not want to get tagged as a guy who takes bad shots. That tells me that he is trying to develop the mindset of...

    This will ultimately be UKs starting five

    He might not. But he should. Reed is one of the best players on the team.

    Dickie V has vocal cord cancer.

    Statistically, malignancies are the 2nd biggest killer of Americans, behind only atherosclerotic heart disease. An incredible amount of money goes into cancer research.
