    Travis Perry

    This is my thoughts exactly. Although I can also see a scenario where Brea and Oweh start and Robinson is the 6th man. I think Robinson will start unless he’s more comfortable coming off the bench like I think I remember reading he did at BYU last year. We are comfortably at least 2 deep at...

    What is your new Starting 5?

    I think you are correct. Unless Robinson wants to be in the sixth man role again then I switch he and oweh. I doubt anyone will play much more than 25 mins a game. Popes planning on going a full 10 deep I think

    Sources Say Live Now (Jaxson decision countdown)

    This is a good point. It’s strange how the Robinson thing has played out. But we really aren’t hearing about UK reaching out to anyone else either. You’d think Poplar and now Watkins contact would be mentioned more. It seemed like it was always mentioned when we would contact anyone. I’m sure...

    Wooga back on the market

    Yea the longer it goes with no announcement makes you think he’s staying in the draft. I do think Robinson was the priority for Pope but if it doesn’t happen we need to go hard at Poplar. I think we need some real fire power on the wings like a Wooga or Robinson. The sec is gonna be a meat...

    SOT: After Storm Checkin

    Nope. Apparently not. We were without water for a week or longer over the winter

    SOT: After Storm Checkin

    my county got slammed twice. Once around midday. I was on duty for that one. The damage was pretty extensive in some areas. It knocked power out to our water plant so the entire county was without water till a couple hours ago. The main damage path was about 8 miles long west-east across the...

    Will Riley visiting in June

    I hope you’re right. I’ve had my heart set on this scenario for a while now. I wanted Lanier, but mostly just for the security of having one of those guys in hand. Robinson fills the most immediate need and Riley is a take any day of the week. He’s the kind of reclass freshmen, playing in a...

    Trilly update on Lanier visit

    I’m not knocking pope. I’m definitely all in on him. He can absolutely get more out of less talent than Cal ever could. But honestly, he’s yet to win an ncaa tourney game. Coaching will take you a long way, but I think in order to win as big as we want to as UK fans we’re gonna need an alpha or...

    Trilly update on Lanier visit

    I wanted Lanier pretty bad. The kid is good. But you win some and you lose some. It may have just been a case he’s choosing Tennessee over us. It’s gonna happen. He could’ve been using us as a hat on the table to drive up NIL. That happens too. But IF it was a mutual split, with both...

    Late stretch 4 possibility

    I agree with you. No one in popes system will probably play much over 25 mins a game. Robinson was his best player last year and may end up getting drafted and he came off the bench. That’s why I always thought there was room for Lanier and Robinson. We could have 4 quality 4 and 5 men and they...

    Late stretch 4 possibility

    Unless things change with Almonor I suspect he’s popes guy as the backup 4. He may not be the “best” available but carr is popes man as the primary 4 and I’d guess Hawkins and waterman would expect a starting or bigger roll

    UK took 24 threes/game last year. Cody Fueger said they want 35 threes/game this year.

    I want a team that can shoot the lights out from 3, but I don’t want to be a live by the 3 die by the 3 team. Where a cold shooting night ends your season. I want guys that can attack the rim and post up as well if needed. It seems like pope has built a pretty balanced offense. And I think...

    Ansley Almonor to visit

    I hear that!!!

    Ansley Almonor to visit

    Waterman does seem like the better player for sure. Plus he knows the system. A good quality 4 backup is a must. Whoever that turns out to be. That would be ideal with a Riley reclass That’s an amazing young core to build off of. And if he turns out one and done then we probably had an...
