The people saying this roster as currently constructed being top 25 worthy at this point are either delusional, high, or the most optimistic people I’ve ever met.

Agree. I do love Wilkins but other than that hard to get excited.
I’m literally putting all my Faith in Wilkins and Hawthorne. Maybe Kam from game to game but he has shown to be very inconsistent.
The fact we paid Diallo the 2nd most NIL of any player ever says it all to me. He’s so desperate he has to pay mediocre guards that kind of money to play for him. I’m not sold on him being any kind of saving grace. Honestly on Paper Washington maybe had an equal to slightly higher upper talent roster than we do currently last year and they were bad bad.
People don’t understand how bad this could get. Imagine the games Wilkins/Diallo/Moreno don’t show or have bad games. Who is going to score really? Moreno had plenty of games toward the end or in high level games where he was relatively ineffective. He has a huge ceiling and I hope he takes the next step for sure. It’s just scary right now how little margin we have.
I’d say objectively. If I could bet on games in the SEC for next year. If it was just money line. UK will be huge underdogs at Missouri, at Texas, at Oklahoma, at Florida, Florida at Rupp, at Tennessee, at Vandy. That’s seven losses and we still have Alabama, Tennessee and Arkansas at home. If anyone thinks who we have now will withstand this and place top half of the conference is delusional, they just are.
If someone had told you at the beginning of the year we would go 10-8 in the SEC and finish 9th in the SEC standings you would have also said that was ridiculous. And before you throw out the injury nonsense we had a full roster for the first 2 SEC games and went 0-2 including a loss at home (a staple under pope).
