Great news! I don’t know the role that was sold to him, but I’m always going to keep things real, even when some might not like me doing so, but…

We all watched the FF this past weekend, so I got to ask… of those 4 teams, which one would Kam, Chandler, or Moreno start on?

The point is, I want all 3 back, but unless they are surrounded by elite level players, the only one I see starting for UK next season is Moreno, and Pope pretty much needs to do that by proxy!

Kam could start, with the right guys around him, but in no shape or form is Collin Chandler a SEC starting 2G, regardless of who is playing around him! And if all 3 are being retained to be 3 of the starters, then lord have mercy on UK MBB next season!
I am glad you are keeping it real. I don't know what we would do without you.

Kam, Moreno and CC were the only 3 guys I really wanted back. I’d have taken any of them if the role and money was right but these 3 guys can play meaningful minutes here.

OK now you're just being a jerk. The guy decided to come back and be a player for this team. He also recover quickly from a broken foot so he could play unlike many other players that have just washed out.
He could be legit, though if you guys believe he's the starting SF at Kentucky to get us back to where we once were you're living in an alternate reality. He may be much better than what he has shown, though up to this point, he didn't really show it during the times he was healthy this past season, outside of a few games.

Idk why people get so defensive on here. All some of us are pointing out is we have seen these 3 returning guys start with OO and Aberdeen. That didn't work out well. So we better sign a stud PG that can stay healthy and a dominant 4 .

Pope clearly promised these 3 starting spots so we are down to 2.

Who did show it on last year’s dysfunctional team?

This is awesome news. I think some of you had your snide remarks ready to go no matter his decision. If he left.. Pope is terrible at retaining players. If he stays, I hope he's not a starter.
I'm happy he's back, big time, though I believe Pope also needs to get a big time SF out of the portal as well.

I honestly think either Chandler or Williams will be the 6th man. Either would do well in that roll.

I mean I’ll take it. But I think expectations need to be slimmed down. Kam has a lot of potential and a pro body, but I don’t think it ever materializes into a consistent dependable “guy” on a title chasing team.

But I am glad the 3 I wanted back are back. Now cut the guys out like Oweh and put team guys around the program. Get rid of all cancers I don’t care if they go 20. Get guys who know how to move an offense and play through hot guys.

We had a guy a lot like him who played 26 minutes a game on our last Title team. Some of you probably forgot.

Do y'all remember last year when we signed Kam from Tulane and he was unheard of for the most part but when he signed with us he was all of a sudden being discussed as a first rounder?


Expect a lot of that this portal season.
