I don't understand why a player with NBA aspirations wouldn't have an alpha dog personality. Why that player, with the ability to do so, wouldn't try to dunk anything and everything.

I’ll agree I know a little more about football but I’ve been a KY fan for 55 years SIR. And what I DO know(MORE THAN YOU) is about athletes, athletes personality and playing UP to their ability vs. their talent. I’m saying in 2+ years Nick HAS NOT played UP to his talent level. He’s NOT been a ‘leader’ on that floor this year, which in his 3rd year he should be. He should be leading by example, pouring it out on the floor. He’s or eldest player, (excluding Sestinahe’s really a first year player in the system). I just don’t look at a game result from a player. I look at in game body language, demeanor and results. To me ACTIONS speak louder than words. There’s a reason Nick is still here and NOT gone to the league. He does NOT have that drive or ALPHA DOG personality YET to make an impact night in and night out, and I still don’t see that to get him and OUR team to the next level.
For all you blue eyed goggles wearers, some of you know this is accurate.
The rest of your are just attackers and flamers, who are entitled to your opinion but....you can’t see the Forest because the trees are in your way.
We have an exciting, fun to watch team with some talent BUT if Nick Richards doesn’t step up his game SIGNIFICANTLY, ( he’s the key this year), it’s going to be another year in which we fall short of our goals....

I hope if we fall short of our goals it doesn't ruin your life.

Nick Richards
13.8 PPG
7.5 RPG
63% FG %
85% FT%
That's a pretty significant improvement over his numbers from last year. Also, the guy only has 4 turnovers thus far, which was an issue for him last year. I'm not saying the guy is a world beater, but I'm encouraged by his improvement. He battled hard inside against MSU. Personally, I'm more concerned about Hagans and Maxey being a combined 5/27 from 3 PT range, against all these hot garbage teams you reference.

yeah I understand that, but we rarely shoot well in Rupp anymore. I think it’s because we practice in a different facility with walls instead of open spaces and to transition to an open Rupp Arena really messes with your depth perception. Still I’m more looking for TRUE leadership, something this team lacks a lot of and unfortunately that falls on Big Nicks shoulders...

The real reason we may not succeed, Defense.

You could be the worst shooting team, but if you defend, your games are close.

I think we’re in real trouble this year. Shooting will be a huge issue, rebounding even a BIGGER issue. Hate to say it but Nick Richards is not our guy, he has NO ALPHA personality in him to take over or dominate a game like he should. He has done skills but any team with a solid big man will negate him with ease. EJ seems to be in the same mold as Nick, too easy going and no nasty streak. We truly need a Karl Townes, Kidd-Gilchrist type big to take the reins and we don’t have that.
