I think a lot of people are forgetting about kam Williams who 42% 3pt shooter his freshman year and was a projected top 15 draft pick before coming to UK. he just struggled a bit last year but was really finding his groove before getting injured and he was still a respectable 37% 3pt shooter last year. he is also a great defender. Don’t underrate kam he could be a great 6th man or even start at SF next year.

Hawthorne hasn't played and Potter only averaged 6 points at Miami (OH), so neither of them should count. Still need more guys to be considered a top 10 team.

Is anyone really happy with this roster and is there anyone that has not committed that could make you happy with this roster if we got them?

If you are happy with this roster do you see it contending for a national championship?

If you don't see it contending for a national championship do you no longer feel that being a contender is the standard for Kentucky basketball?

If we add Momcilovic and a solid backup 5 then we can contend for a national championship. We won't be the best team on paper but we will have enough to compete with anyone

Ehhh. I don’t think being a “projected top 15 pick in high school BEFORE playing good competition in college is really something we should use to determine how good they’ll be IF they have already struggled once getting to college.
