Just for the sake of banter, with Moreno, I got to 87 ppg with optimism. If this team can score to an elite level, you’re in the race for the SEC.

Things that need to happen; Wilkins is a baller and had him at 18 ppg, Moreno had at 15 ppg, had Diallo at 12, Kam 10, Hawthorne 9, PFs combined for 15….

We know Diallo can play some defense, Kam- Hawthorne- N’djaye bring exceptional length to support the 5. I’m concerned about rebounding at this point, though.

Morning musings on Mo’s excitement…

It’s called reality. I know that’s not a world you live in but ultimately what you end up with after your utopia world comes crumbling down. Most of the rest of us are already there.

Remind me again of what Mo’s career head coaching record was?

I’m not sure his is the most trusted opinion on these things.

He better be right, or his time as a UK coach is going to be very short.

Don't approach a top 10 finish and a 1-3 seed? Mark Pope's chair is still on fire. Don't make it to at least Saturday of the SEC Tournament? Mark Pope's chair is still on fire. Don't make it past the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament, or even if you do, get hammered in the Sweet 16? Mark Pope's chair is still on fire.

Do you think this roster is loaded?
Man, how the Hell do anything of us know? When we beat Purdue in the Exhibition nearly the entire board had us ready for the Final Four. Turns out none of us knew ****. And that works both ways. I can point to 40 different posters on here who love Lamont Butler now but were all saying he HAD to be brought in as the backup or the season is over lol

I'm guessing Mo hasn't taken a close look at all the talent the other SEC teams have been bringing in? With our current roster construction, we're gonna be boat-raced in the SEC unless we add a couple of stars.
Only team im completely sold on is Florida.
Everyone else is in the same boat UK was in last season.
Looks good on paper but it has to work on the court.

That's sort of the point. As tough as Butler was, the season ended in aa S16 blowout. Were the doubters really wrong?
