    Nice comments by Quaintance's father Haminn

    Just sounds like he's mad that Acaden was recruited over (or at least parallel pieces were being added).

    Kentucky in the mix for dukes shelton henderson decision sea of blue thinks will come by

    Yep. In a deep roster like ours, fit will matter for the last piece more than talent. See Kansas last year.

    Brandon Garrison is returning to Kentucky

    Continuity is huge - the advantage of having 3+ rotation players back for the culture and learning curve is absolutely massive, and I hope pope aims for that every year.

    Roster is Set. Lace them up and let’s go!

    How many main rotation players do we have who are 40% or over from three last season? Not many - mo, kam, we could hope Chandler will be there, and then you'd be hanging your hat on one of the Kentucky boys making a leap. If you don't have a couple on the floor together, they can always do...

    Andrija Jelavic commits to UK!

    It's a fantastic roster, but I'm really hoping for one more 40+ percent three point threat. As happened with Brea when our roster was decimated, if you don't have a couple of those on the floor simultaneously, it is not tough for a good defensive coach to demolish your outside game...

    UCF Guard Dior Johnson Former 5 star in Portal

    Kid could have set his family up for life with his talent and just couldn't stop getting in his own way.

    Meeting with Quaintance..

    No brainer if he's healthy - smart kid, too. But man we've had enough injuries for a couple seasons already under Pope.

    NATE AMENT RUMORS $$$

    Pony up big for: - top 5 freshmen, or maybe a top 10 freshman who is a great fit - Portal studs who make us dangerous next year - Portal almost-studs who have multiple years of eligibility Pony up medium for everybody else.

    It's not that deep. You can cheer for an awful team and still identify which opposing players you don't want to see again. Don't get me wrong, we all acknowledge you as a basketball genius around here, but..

    As opposed to a rando Kentucky fan? Not to mention nobody on this board watched a full Pitt game this year. If you're not interested in hearing from people who have, no problem. Move right along.

    Here was a Louisville fan on YouTube: "Lowe is a Really good player, I’m a Louisville fan, we played him a lot. Your heart rate goes up every time he touches the ball…such is his potential to hurt you. I won’t lie, when I heard he entered the transfer portal, I was hoping he did not end up at...

    Here is what I THINK happens from here...

    Big agreement on Chandler. He has the physical ability and a pretty solid skillset, and the mental difference between a 23 year old and a 19 year old will show up now that he has gotten a chance to re-acclimate to playing. Having a hard time seeing him not being either a quality starter or our...

    USC's Yates Enters Portal Officially

    If you did one of those lineup charts, you could look at last year and say "we have too many guards". And then the real world happens, and we have too few guards.

    Gosh I hope Oweh Comes Back

    Don't understand for the life of me people who would speak poorly of OO. The kid has crazy heart, was in double figures nearly every game. One or two of you are talking about him like some reckless bull taking thoughtless shots - we've had plenty of those in the past. Oweh's FG% for the season...

    Next year … just curious ??

    I think Oweh is your big dog. Garrison and Johnson will be good enough to start on a high-level team if they're not the focal point. I think you'll need 2-3 more (who can shoot from 3) at that level to transfer in. Between soph Perry, soph Chandler, Lewis, and Moreno, I suspect you'll have at...
