- Start date
Please update for us folks who haven't yet won the lottery.....
I can't wait for this class. If we land Mo Bamba to go with Richards, Vanderbilt,and Washington we will have one of the best frontcourts I've seen. Ever
Willie Stein, Lyles, Townes, Lee, and Poythress would probably disagree with you. If we get them it will easily be our 2nd greatest top to bottom depth wise.
Agree with Announcers about him having to work on defense to defend the sf. He can play it on offense but the key to playing a position is can you defend it. There will be games early where he fan base will curse him out due to defense on a very good small forward. Also agree with Cal telling him he needs to lose 10 pounds in order to move better while defending the sf position
Interesting, he must want to play him on the wing. Thought he would be more of a 4 man.
sounds like UK wants him to come in as a SF. Maybe message was that front court is loaded.
Cal has always wanted to have a big line up. Wenyen is likely starting at the PF position since he can't drive past any type of SF, that way he will have a chance to drive past slow PF if he works on his handles this summer. Hump maybe starts at C unless Nick shows to be more ready early than projected. SKJ could fit into the starting mix depending on how his summer goes. All are moot points if Bamba comes or Bam returns.
That's the way I interpret it. With Bamba or Bam returning, along with Richards and at least two of Hump, Gabriel, Wynyard and SKJ, we'll be pretty deep in the post. The 3 might be the best spot for him with that group and for his long-term pro prospects.
I like the passing he is doing. He needs work on it, but I like he is moving the ball.
He's 6'8.
This class is gigantic. Shooting guards and small forwards (a la Porter and Knox) were 6'9 and 6'10, and he was always on the floor with them. Bamba was always on the floor, and so on.
He's still going to be a big dude as a college small forward.
Now has 20 points (4-6 from 3) and has displayed great passing ability and shot blocking. He's a very well rounded player for sure.
I don't think so. I think we just have some fairly dumb people here. Jarred Vanderbilt has actually grown to 6'9, which is absurd when you consider that he could very well be our backup PG next season. I could see us using a swing offense next season.
Maybe Cal thinks that Bam stays and is going to add Bamba?
A few things I noticed was he's very smooth and doesn't get in a hurry. He's a very good passer for his size. He was way better in a game setting than he was in the McDonalds AA game setting. I'm excited to see what he can do next year.
Yes, it's absurd that recruiting directors like Evan Daniels and Paul Biancardi think it is true, two recruiting directors who were at the McDonald's practices and games and seen him in person, and have been doing this for years so they should know a thing or two about player height. Quite absurd.
Washington looked great. Love how people say this is an average class and we will struggle because they watched the McDonald's game. This was an actual game setting. P.J. will be a very good player next year.
Will he ever be a pg ? no But is his handle better then anybody on the team next season not named Green ? Yes. He might have the best handle of a SF I have ever seen at UK . Mashburn had a helluva one too though he was more a PF.
