7-7 from the field, totaling 15 points, in Bama exhibition game against Furman last night ... played 16 minutes.
OT ... fwiw ... Brandon Garrison
- Thread starter megablue
- Start date
Good stats, 0 +/- the only person on the team not positive about sums it up.
I saw that, too ... seems odd. ????
BG went MIA way too much for my liking.
Well he was flat out incompetent on offense at UK so I wouldn't put much stock in one exhibition game. I think we're better off; Big Frank can't shoot either but he dunks almost everything around the rim and I wouldn't trade Potter for BG.
I agree 100% ... he never played like he was motivated ... will be interesting to see how he does with Bama this season.
Seems like Pope was unable to motivate him. It’ll be interesting to see if he continues loafing under Oats. I have a feeling he won’t. If we continue to see Moreno loafing we know we have a coaching problem.
He always played well when it didn’t matter. He would have two decent games a year. Has talent, don’t think his IQ is great. Bama’s offense of 3 and layups may benefit him as they set him up to dunk every time.
Also I got a good laugh out of the idea that Garrison is a better prospect than Moreno. Even with Garrison playing for Oats instead of Pope I doubt he ends up better than Malachi. Moreno’s per 40’s were better almost across the board even as a true freshman.
Bigger, longer, faster, better footwork, better hands, better touch, better motor, better attitude and loves Kentucky basketball as much as we do.

If we are missing Brandon at any point this season I’ll be shocked
That is true that I expect him to look better coached. His rebounding drove me crazy and he just made dumb mistakes way too often. His effort level was terrible most games. He was hard to motivate.
I was done with Garrison after that early season game where he turned it over and walked back on D.
He'd look really good against the occasional poor - mediocre SEC team but where was he when we played the Florida's, Alabama's of the world? Look no further than the tournament game against an Iowa State team who was playing without their best big for the first time all year. BG put up 1p 0a 2TO in 22 minutes.
If Oats can manage to develop him into a stud, I'd say that's the biggest indictment of Pope yet. Not sure if people are ready for how much of an upgrade Franck Kepnang will be at backup C compared to BG

Look who’s talking, answer your own question Monday nitroWhy hide under a new account?
Wouldn't be surprised if he's solid at Alabama. Oats and his staff are real basketball coaches. This guy was "developed" by Jason Hart, Mark Pope, and Mark Fox.
Interesting to see if he can put it together. Classic garrison to have a game where he looks all world then magically forget what a basketball is for a stretch while getting several team hurting techs.
If he can keep bad Garrison hidden somewhere good for him but I'll have to see it more long term.

The name is literally hate over reality. I Think you got got.Why hide under a new account?
Made the game more difficult than it should have been for him. Swear he liked to make things look difficult. Drove me crazy. The stats he had tonight are fools gold. If bg gets significant playing time he causes more bad to happen than good.
Ummm, I didn’t get got. I was intentionally shining a bright light on a troll, which they hate.
So Brandon Garrisons laziness is Pope's fault?
Good Lord man
.It really may be time to touch grass.
Right on. I don't know what the point of trolling here is. At least on Facebook or something it's usually to get paid for engagement here there is O benefit.... Sad life.
Oate said that he may be the best passing big man that he has ever had. I hope so for their sake. He missed a ton of bunnies 2 feet from the rim at UK. I much rather him passing it that shooting it.
A lot of the same players that are kicking butt under Stein were some of the same ones that quit under Stoops so yes, a big part of a coach's job is to motivate his players. I guess you've never been a coach? Laid back players like Garrison need to be pushed. Laid back coaches like Pope usually aren't the ones to do it.So Brandon Garrisons laziness is Pope's fault?

I suppose the season will play out and we will see.
You dont know me, so quit guessing.
I actually wanted to reject the entire premise of a lot of the players that are now kicking butt. 60 new guys only leaves about 30. Of that 30 are a lot kicking butt? Is there a butt kicking list?
I suppose you've never been a statistician.
Look, you made a dumb comment that it’s not part of a coach’s job to motivate their players. A lot of our problems last year was not a lack of talent but a lack of motivation by the coach. How many games last year did we just flat out quit and how many times did you see players just loafing up and down the court not giving maximum effort? The Gonzaga game was the worst game I’ve ever seen UK play. They gave up in the first five minutes of the game. That is a coaching problem.
This. He is playing for a real coach now who has won something that matters.
LOL, he couldn’t defend a golden girl. His defense will get better under Oats where defense is optional?? Some of you are an embarrassment.
You’re vast posting history of doubting everything UK makes you very suspect, lol.
BG was extremely frustrating as he showed flashes but was not consistent. If he’s consistent and has consistent effort this year it will confirm my suspicions about Pope as a coach and his inability to motivate and lead.
That's a reach.
Projection.
Point specifically to where I said its not part of a coaches job.
I'll wait.
Do you think BG will be all conference because Oats will demand it?
You said so now BGs laziness is popes fault? But that’s not what people were saying they were saying they think BG will be better because he’s playing for a coach that won’t let him get away with playing lazy. It was in no way a difficult thing to understand. Pitino is always looked at fondly here because his players always played so hard, including Pope.
LoL. What does a lazy Oats ddefense give up a game?? 85 pts or so? Brandon will fit in well there.
Oats is a haggard loser that will never get a sniff here. There’s a reason he quickly dismissed the UK job when it opened……he saved himself the embarrassment of not being a candidate.
I’m not personally a big Oats fan and would prefer he NOT be the next UK coach. But, again, if BG plays hard and focused all year that will reflect very poorly on Pope imo
