    Rex is Gonna Tell Us Something New.

    Wanted to go to Louisville. Wished he would have chose Louisville. If he had a do over he would chose Louisville UK paid lots of money. UK boosters kept the money flowing. He had so much money he was giving it to teammates. UK student body was racist. UK fans were racist. HIs dad was hard on...

    Somto Cyril

    He averaged 9 pts. and 9 reb. on 37% FT shooting in the regular season. He is currently averaging 8 pts. and 8 reb. on 57% FT shooting during the playoffs. I see Somto as a complimentary piece at UK, few minutes here and there, better minutes depending on the opponent and situation. Sometimes...

    POLL: Satisfaction With Our Roster

    I don't think the roster is sufficient because there is more than just Boston and Labissiere of the Top 10ish who don't work out. Goodwin (raw but out of control), Poythress, Livingston, Clarke, Diallo, etc... Plus fans can watch kids play a lot. Wagner, Edwards, Bradshaw.... are not on the...

    If Cyril and Reeves are here …

    We always are...that's not the issue. 2021 - Preseason #10 - Went 9-16 2022 - Preseason #10 - Lost to #15 seed 2023 - Preseason #4 - Finished unranked and couldn't advance past the first weekend. 2024 - ??? - Not sure but the best case roster you mentioned will still be 10-15 losses IMO...

    Wheeler: “Our offensive efficiency is like 5th in the nation”

    This is fair... I personally think "offensive efficiency" is poor naming for this metric. For example, if UK takes a bad shot and misses, but rebounds the miss and takes other bad shot, rebounds that miss but throws up another bad shot, grabs that rebound and then hits a 3....all that is...

    Wheeler: “Our offensive efficiency is like 5th in the nation”

    UK's current Kenpom offensive efficiency is 17th....but....that is because of the pre-season "starting ranking". With the "starting ranking" removed, UK is around 71st. UK staff and players appealing to ratings still heavily biased toward preseason projections, instead of actual performance on...

    Seth Greenberg agrees: UKBB needs a new practice facility. ‘I can name 50 schools that have better practice facilities.’

    Reading the specifics stated, it seems less about 50 other facilities being better and more about what Cal really wants. What makes the Craft center inferior (per Seth)? a) The weight room is shared with sports teams other than Basketball. State of the art would be basketball only weight...

    POLL: Are you more excited about Kentucky football, or Kentucky basketball... and why?

    You've been hearing wrong in your head for 10 years.... Jim Nance said...."The Kentucky coronation is complete, champions 2012"... Regards

    Best BB player to come out of your high school ?

    Never saw Silliman play but... Padgett (6'-9" 240lbs) was a 1st round NBA draft pick in 1999 (#28) Silliman (6'-6" 225lbs) was 8th round (69th) in 1966 Padgett played 8 years in the NBA (4.2pts, 2.7rb, 0.7 ***) and 13.2 win shares Silliman played 1 year in the NBA (2.5pts, 1.7reb, 0.6as)...

    Kyle Tucker

    Kyle blocked me years ago over political media. He pretends to "invite" people into a discussion but he really isn't interested in any opposing point of view. For example....I was scrolling through his tweets one evening starting from oldest to newest and he asked the question why any American...

    Where's the drop-off?

    Unfortunately, like most recent years, the drop-off will likely be the coach ..... Here's to hoping the players can overcome that drop-off... Regards

    On3’s new rankings has DJ ranked #1

    Sheppard moved UP 6 spots from #39 to #33. His consensus ranking went from #25 to #23 Edwards moved UP 8 spots from #11 to #3. His consensus ranking went from #9 to #4. Regards

    Reed Sheppard - Evaluations by everyone ??

    I'm not a fan of our Coach at all, but he doesn't see black and white. If he "sees" anything, it's green room or no green room. Reed is too fundamentally sound and discipline for Cal not to play him quality minutes. Regards
