Oh ye of such faith.
Keion will be back. Keion will start at the 4. Livingston will play a version of Trey Lyles at the 3 because Cal thinks that's what we need. It will be a flop. This is assuming Hopkins isn't back and being forced into minutes at the 3 as well.
What a cluster. This coming season's roster just doesn't make much sense on paper as it is right now. Does Frederick get any real run? Wheeler isn't getting benched if he comes back, so what does that mean for Wallace? Tyty type role?
Obviously all of this is subject to portal change.
The problem ultimately is that Cal carries the attitude that he can "adjust his system to whatever the roster dictates", yet the result is him literally plugging whatever guys he gets into the very same goddamned system every goddamned year.Intelligent roster management with an overall cohesive strategy designed for continuity and sustained success?
Hard pass. This is Kentucky.
Do you get paid $9m/yr to consistently over-promise and under-deliver?The problem ultimately is that Cal carries the attitude that he can "adjust his system to whatever the roster dictates", yet the result is him literally plugging whatever guys he gets into the very same goddamned system every goddamned year.
Right I get portal changes but just don’t see it being what it was for us last year.
I don’t see Wheeler coming back.
lolJust play 4 shooters that don’t have to set up in the paint to be effective.
Yep.Keion coming back and continuing his reign as black hole on offense and vacuous body on defense is my main concern. Like the guy as a person but could do without what he brings to the table for UK.
Yeah. I don't understand where people think Wheeler is going to go or, worse, people who think that we would somehow be better off without Wheeler. He's not the second coming of Gary Payton but he's a damn good collegiate point guard and having a true veteran point guard starting would be a luxury we've never had under Cal.Where is he going to go though? Europe? There's 0 reason to believe Cal will play Wallace at the 1 over Wheeler after starting him all year.

Same goes for Brooks. It would be awesome to have him and Toppin, too.
Seems better than the “I don’t know I haven’t seem him” you’d presumably get from our basketball coach OH AM I BEING UNFAIR IS MAX POWERRR TAKING THIS TOO FAR I DONT KNOW AM I?I got in touch with UK about my friend's son and figured the request would languish in an inbox forever...I got a call back within 40 minutes, they're all over it. Staff let his recruiting contacts know before they even called me back. Since he's an active 2024 recruit they can't directly contact him right now (I didn't even think of that, duh) but they're working with his HS coaches to get word to him.FTGE, etc., but sometimes there are little bright spots, too, and we got one with this FB program.
You left off “Ricky Gervais murdering half of Hollywood at the 2020 Golden Globes.”"This Thing Busted as Hell" Randos:
- A kid obliterated my car this morning backing into it, but I wasn't in it, he stuck around and he has insurance, so I am declaring my **** luck streak over and taking a W from the jaws of defeat. I AM BACK, BITCHES.LFG, etc. GYERO, let's turn this **** around.
- @wcc31, if you haven't already, add Accused to your queue. I haven't gotten to the most recent season yet but the first two are EXCELLENT, with the added bonus of Cincy/NKY flavor.
- My favorite reaction to the Will Smith non-story has been jabronis acting like a grown man slapping another man was the most SHOCKING and TRAUMATIC thing they've ever seen on live TV. I'm 33, and I remember watching following:
* The Oklahoma City bombing
* the McVeigh execution coverage, in 7th grade Social Studies class because why the hell not I guess
* Kosovo on fire
* the OJ chase
* people jumping out of a 110 story building on fire while a plane flew into another building next to it
* said buildings collapsing with thousands of people inside
* 2003 invasion of Iraq
* crazy white people storming the US Capitol
* Malice at the Palace
* Tyson biting Holyfield's ear off
* Janis Jackson's tittay
* DC sniper coverage in my hometown where they showed tarps covering bodies still on the pavement at the gas station
* Saddam's execution
* Russia bombing Ukrainian civilians
And that's off the top of my head, not to mention the gazillion disgusting sports injuries I've seen in real time. Just LMFAO. Let's all get off the internet and take a little stroll outside in the sunshine if an open-hand slap makes you traumatized in the year of our Lord 2022.
- Speaking of jabronis, Evil from the WWE (I think on Peacock? maybe Paramount Plus?) is a blast. The Hulk Hogan episode was my favorite, duh. As usual for wrasslin', the production is top notch. Main takeaway: Kevin Nash is still one remarkably handsome SOB.
- Someone bring the spring game scuttlebutt up in here.
