It’s not possible for us to be in significant foul trouble this year. If a game is called tight, we’re blowing the other team out.

Welp. Tyler Herro just gave me good practice for color commentary season because I just went full Larry Conley and yelled yelled NICE PASS after that post feed on the Travis dunk. That was fantastic. Complete game on that kid. I think he might be the best passer on the team.

The Hitman is going to be a heck of an addition to the SEC Network basketball crew. He needs to get in and get out before they institutionalize him like Farnham.

- I really don’t know who our best bigs are. Pretty damn impressive quartet.

- Johnson’s rep is as a slasher but dude can stroke it too. Be surprised if he’s under 37% this year.

- Travis showing off some shot making ability.

- Herro is so smart. Moves without the ball. Excellent passer.

The Saints just won because Baltimore’s kicker, who had never missed an extra point in his career, did just that with 20 seconds left on the clock.

Would have tied the game.


But talking about kickers is stupid. My bad.

Made over $1000 on that game with the parlays I had tied to it.

The travesty with the kicker is that you can play 4 games and still retain your redshirt. What the hell are we waiting on.

A lot of college basketballs just flat out missed on Tyler Herro. Jesus. Obviously a transcendent shooter, but also a great passer, hustles all over the place trying to track down rebounds and dig out loose balls. Just a prototypical coach's dream player. What a stud.

He’s so damn efficient. Doesn’t force anything. All within the flow of the game.

I’d start Green, Herro and Johnson. Shooting all over the floor.

That big lineup with PJ at the 3 looked surprisingly good. I could see Calipari trying that as a starting lineup and bringing Herro or Johnson off the bench.

One thing I like is nobody has any really obvious flaws that can wind up actually hurting the team. There's no guards that just can't shoot, there's nobody who needs to dominate the ball. No black holes in the post, no ball stoppers, no one forcing anything.

Everyone on the court seems to be able to get theirs within the flow of the offense, makes the extra pass, and is able to hit an open jump shot. That's pretty rare. We'll see what happens when teams are hacking and grabbing and they're being defended by Zion, Reddish, and Barrett, but I don't see how this team isn't crazy efficient offensively.

-I like the Richards/Montgomery and PJ/ Travis combos. Complement each other well.

-Johnson diving on the floor, fighting, and talking **** with 1 minute to go in a scrimmage.

-I'm smitten over the mentality of these guys.

-Bungles. Lolz.

-Saturday may be the toughest test left for our team.

-Where does Allen rank for players in the last 30 years at UK? He's gotta be one of the best players of my lifetime if not the best. Cheat code .

Saturday is the toughest test we've had thus far but certainly won't be the toughest test we have left.

Underdogs in next 3 games....staring directly at a potential 7-5 disaster if they don't beat the Cards.

Cobb, Couch, Trevathan, Dupree, Warford....ever see them play?

-He's better than Dupree, Trevathan and Warford for sure. Cobb and Couch are the 2 that I'd have trouble with but I can't recall a defensive player here that was so disruptive.

-Well we're 7 point dogs, it's away, they have a really solid run D, can score in bulk and everyone is looking towards next week. I'll give that the nod.

-UGA is walking into a hornets nest coming off their biggest rivalry game which will be against a top 10 team and then playing Auburn the next week. Obviously that's right there as well.

-Hopefully we can beat UL. K.

-Why don't you just do us all a favor and ask your team to stop cheating? Between UNC and Duke it's really getting embarrassing. Plus the Cowboys dickfingered their way to another loss. God what a weekend. UK wins, Cowboys suck, BW scrimmage. So blessed.

Allen on this team reminds me of Von Miller the year the Broncos won the Super Bowl. Good D around him so you couldn’t focus on Miller alone, but as disruptive as any defensive player I’ve ever seen.

In the same game, Josh Allen broke up a touchdown pass like Deion Sanders while also dominating the pocket like Reggie White. The only issue I would have with comparing Josh Allen to Couch and Cobb would be that those guys were stars who dominated almost from day one. (Couch can't be blamed for being asked to play the option.)

The guy is amazing. I don't think anyone alive in this thread has seen a defensive player at Kentucky be so dominant.
