Don't be dense. Florida won the league title. Arkansas won the OAD league tournament, by having to beat only 1 of the 10 teams who got NCAA-T invites (Vandy).
Somto Cyril Intends to Portal
- Thread starter jedwar
- Start date
You mean the 85 year old blue hairs in the lower bowl don't intimidate opposing teams free throw shooters? Mitch thinks we have a raucous environment.I know they always do
So, reading this thread, it sounds like Somto sucked for most of the year but looked like Hakeem Olajuwon against us. A familiar theme.
Yep, and next year with him and Mo together on the floor their average would be 11pts., 10rebs., 3 steals and 3 blocks along with 4 fouls, 46% from 2, 31% from 3 and 60% from the line. (In big games numbers will fluctuate, usually worse)
Nothing more satisfying as a coach, when you make a kid and team better. Hurley can coach
He can take a beast, and make him a smart beast.
He's like JQ imo, blocks shots, plays defense, rebounds, dunks but doesn't really have any post moves. JQ when he actually plays that is lol.
This. Talented but as ill fitted for this offense as jq was. Pope already showed he needs to get back to building a roster to suit the only offense he can coach.
Yeah he really wore those warm ups out this season. He walked in the huddles amazingly well too. NBA quality as far as bench guys who witness the coaches huddle from the outside.
Word was…….Pope either forgot to flush the toilet or completely plugged up the sewage line .
Florida has everyone back? They’re losing everybody that mattered basically. Chinyelu, Condon and Hough will be gone. Next year will show if Golden just caught lightning in a bottle with a special team or if he’s legit since the last part of the title team is gone.
Haugh is probably gone since most analysts have him as a lottery pick. I see a lot of second round grades for Condon and Chinyelu, so unfortunately for us, I’m not too confident at the moment that they won’t come back. They’re the exact type of player who’s been staying in college longer once NIL and revenue sharing came into play.
Just FYI:
Pope targeted Demary from Georgia as his top PG option. For whatever reason, their personalities clashed, so it didn't work out.
There's a good deal of negative polarization regarding all things Pope and this team in particular.
I reckon 90%+ of all college basketball games watched by UK fans are actually UK games. There isn't enough time in the day to watch 30+ Georgia games. We remember all the games Moreno made bad plays or played poorly. Cyril, in the mind of an average UK fan, is the game against UK and his box score stats. Those box score stats include good games and bad games. However, we didn't actually see any of Cyril's bad games.
Love to have an enforcer inside but only if he is the only non-shooter on the floor. Sick af of only having two or three scoring options.
Now that’s some new thinking. A 6 or 7th man. Don’t have any of those yet. .
Yep that's exactly as it went. That scenario perfectly explains our recruiting struggles.
I feel the same. Don't think were going to get a AA at the 5 in the portal. I'll take shot blocker , rebounds and put backs at the 5 and then have shooters all around him.
Pope should use the season 1 formula in my opinion and get a bunch of guys who can shoot and then add a more defensive minded 5 & a PG like Butler.
Does anyone think pope will go after this guy?
He would be fine with a team full of scorers, but uk doesn't have that
