Translation: we're down bad
So after the crying is done, who do we try to get. Not a whole lot left

- Start date
Imagine if we go below 500 in out of conference.
Can this happen before January 1st?
You have to throw the house at Momcilovic.
Yeah is seems a UK nightmare.
He wants to get to the league one day, so he may end up at KU too
He's not picking Mark Pope over Dusty May or Todd Golden. That's a baby vs a hydrogen nuclear bomb.
15 loss season, easily if that’s all we get.
Yessoufou announced he’s staying in the NBA draft today.
I agree, but he’s the ONLY one that give Pope any sort of hope. Me personally, as bad as it sounds, don’t know if I want Pope to get him just because he does bring a little hope. Let’s say we get him, end up sneaking in the 76 team tournament or whatever the hell it is, we have another year of this. I have an 8 yo boy who isn’t getting to experience the fun of watching UK basketball like I did. Kid choose Florida on The Show 26 because he likes watching their basketball team!!
someone needs to get FOR SALE SIGNS on his front lawn stat.
We have 4 roster spots left and we have unspent money. There's no world where we add zero or one more player. As I've been saying, things are bad enough without inventing silly fantasies to get worked up about.
Yes we will add players but it's unlikely to be impact players.
The only guy left that could be a true difference maker. As in elevate the whole team.
I just don't think it's even a possibility at this point.
No, but we'll add another big man and probably 2 guards. We're not rolling out Potter and Zyon and Mason as our 2nd string.
I have no faith in Pope in recruiting anytime.
We literally took air canons full of money at shot them at Wright and Stokes to no avail.
I'd say Morton, Hampton, and maybe a backup center. I actually think they'll be a better team than last year but not a final four contender. If Florida gets Chenylu back and gets Momcilovic they'll win it and not lose over two games.
Be mad at the coach who got played like a *****.
I don't have the same desperation sense for the SF spot as most others apparently do. I've thought since before the end of the season that K. Williams, B. Hawthorne, and Noah could be a good SF group. I think Williams is likely to be a good 3 & D guy and a 40% spot up 3pt. shooter. Nevertheless, I have a feeling that Hawthorne will become increasing difficult to keep out of the starting lineup and by the 2nd half of the season (if not sooner) have arguments all over the board here about who the starting SF should be. And then Noah as a 3rd string SF is more than fine on any college roster - I thought he would improve more from his freshman season than he did, but he's fine in that role. Basically, if the other spots are good enough - and I think there are reasons to think they could be - I don't think the SF spot will be the position to hold UK back.
That's a ridiculous statement. I'm not happy with where we are, but we are easily right below the top 4-5.
Florida is a likely 1 seed. Then Texas and Arkansas are top 10. I think Tennessee and Alabama are 10-20. Bama may be worse though. We are probably right below that at #6 with A&M, Vandy, maybe Auburn next.
Missouri and Oklahoma are probably next...around the bubble. They have some wildcards like our roster last year so maybe one of them can pass Vandy and/or Auburn. Ole Miss and USC look like NIT teams. Then LSU, Miss St, and Georgia all look really terrible, sub .500.
I guess a not bad roster is our standard now.
Yeah I probably agree more with you after my anger subsided or reduced somewhat
Does it really matter? Time is up to build a championship roster. Not buying any hype for next year. Sure, they could be a Top 20 team but this is freaking Kentucky. Not Arkansas.
I wouldn't call this a top 20 roster.
Yes, if your goal were to finish in the top half of the OVC that group would be fine.
Unfortunately it’s starting to feel that way, I get that this roster on paper is some better than last year but a lot of “ifs”……if Hawthorne is as good as people say, if Kam makes 3s, if Moreno has improved his lateral quickness and hands and physicality, if Ndiaye game transitions to the rough SEC, if diallo can improve his 3%…….my big concern is on the road in the SEC, where do we turn cause I haven’t seen pope handle that situation well since the duke game.
College money is close. The good kids are wanting ten times that in future earnings? Do you go with a coach that can get you ten times that money potentially or to with a guy that had never developed a kid into a higher draft pick?
