    Another to early poll.

    These polls are “hogwash.” Do you have the same Coach? Uh oh!

    Coach P says we have everything we need to "get it done". That's #9 talk

    On paper yes. My hope is they blend together like last year’s team and the personal egos are set aside. Play together to win!!

    Travis Perry

    Agree with your last paragraph, but unlikely at the high Div 1 level. Your slight was not necessary to make your point. Too many good posters on this forum. I will choose to ignore you, suggest you do the same.

    Travis Perry

    You are all over the place Ella. “He could potentially make 3-4 times that elsewhere.” $250k x 3 = $750k, x4 = $1 mil. So you are saying he would make $750k or $1 mil next year at Vandy, Ole Miss, and Maryland. The possibility also exists that after next season he makes less at these schools...

    Which school(s) are willing to pay Travis 3-4 times ($750k - $1mil) next year?

    Travis Perry

    Wow! Only $650k after taxes and being 22-23 years old! That is a head start that 99% of us did not have. I am rooting for Travis and don’t begrudge his decision at all.

    With Perry gone & maybe Oweh as well, we've only got an 11 man roster. Do we sign 1 maybe 2 more players?

    Oweh is staying. I talked with his parents in Milwaukee after the Illinois game and they said he loves the university, Lexington, and CMP and the entire staff. I asked if he was coming back and they did not outright say yes, but their smiles and demeanor gave me the impression he would be...

    IMO Pope is trying to put together a team that played the same style as the ‘96 team

    96 was the most dominant team in my fandom (since 1970). Had great depth that was super talented. Full court pressure all game. Other talented teams were beaten into submission by the defensive pressure, as much mentally as well as physically. Next years team 1. Has depth not talent of 96 team...

    UT price for Nate Ament

    Edgar, 1. Our coaches won’t underestimate any of our SEC foes. 2. Agree we won’t know the strength of our team until the season gets underway. 3. Don’t know where you came up with we have zero respect for our opponents. Posters on this site? Maybe a few but definitely not the majority!

    Best roster since…?

    Great roster on paper. Depth at every position. Have 5 returnees who may be the most important players because of their 1 year in the system, especially early in the season. Of course, cohesion of the new players is an unknown. Don’t see many playing over 25 minutes (Lowe and Oweh). Will...

    Give grade to our portal season

    Losing Lewis is a gain. He was afraid of the competition. We need players who are hard nosed, will work hard to earn playing time, and most importantly, have an intense desire to win games and championships. Do these things and you will be remembered in UK history.

    Kentucky has contacted Kimani hamilton 6ft7 foward High point

    I have never seen Kimani play. He is not a good 3-point shooter statistically but I don’t know the style of offense High Point played. Was he their main 3point go to or did he just shoot 3’s occasionally? Taking 1 or 2 threes a game with that percentage made is not a big deal. Taking 5 or...

    Xaivian Lee, Lamar Wilkerson, Josh Dix, Wesley Yates, Cedric Coward, Eaglestaff, Pierre, Why are we having such a hard time getting a 2G to come here

    Fairly confident that CMP has conveyed to every player on the roster and potential recruits that his philosophy is not based on having a star or 2 that gets 35+ minutes a game. The staff actually knows how many minutes each player can perform at their best before needing a breather. The...
