Simmons is legit. Gonna be hard to knock him off the #1 pick. Dude has such a similar skillset to Lebron. It will be interesting to see how he develops.

Simmons is definitely a star. He will be a load to handle. Love his game.

Watched a good bit, but kennesaw could barely dribble the ball without it bouncing off their foot.

Simmons and Blakeney can play. They seem a bit weak upfront besides Simmons and Blakeney might shoot them out of games this year.

They can play tho

I think when it is all settled, Simmons is their primary ballhandler, playing the 1 on offense guarding the 4 spot on defense.

Their best lineup might end up being:

1 Simmons- guards the 4.
2 Hornsby- guards the 1.
3 Blakeney- guards the 2.
4 Quarterman- guards the 3.
5 Victor- guards the 5.

Against who? UK?

I think we'll compete just fine. LSU will lose games they're not supposed to lose and then play lights out against us.

Simmons is good and very well could be the #1 pick, but Skal presents a challenge to them as well.

I thought Blakeney looked good early on as well.

What is the purpose of 3/4 ( or less) conference schedule?

The purpose is getting to play more than two OOC games, which can't happen if we're playing a 26-game SEC schedule. :)

But yes, I do miss the days of the full double round robin.

Ah, I thought they were one of those we only played once. Oh well, that's gonna be a tough game then.
Oh no, they made sure they scheduled UK to play the toughest SEC teams on the road. LSU, Vandy and A&M, we play all 3 on the road along with the normal teams we always play home and home such as Florida.
All I ask is that those teams, for once, please play everyone else with close to the same passion as they play with when UK is the opponent. It's sickening to watch these teams play out of their minds against UK then play like they don't care and almost lose to Auburn.

My predictions: Vandy will be a 3 seed, A&M a 4 seed, and LSU a 5.

By the end of the year, the other players will be listening to Simmons more than Jones.

Like Randle a few years ago.... the way to stop Simmons is to make him have to hit jump shots.

Its funny hearing KY fans take a dump on Johnny Jones, when Cal has done less with talent as any coach in the country

Nice.... So when Jones and LSU fail to even make the elite 8 this year...... promise you'll jump in a gator pit?

Not really. 1 title and 6 final fours is pretty damn good for a career so far that is not even close to being over. Winning national titles is hard, you should know that from having never won one in b-ball and getting your *** kicked by Bama in 2011 and shut out in a natty title game.

Didn't work for pastner won't work for JJ

Partner is a GD train wreck. Memphis is averaging 11,000 in attendance so far. He has decimated the Memphis basketball program. Memphis is 1 of (I believe) 11 schools with multiple burger boys on the roster. Anyone who thinks cal can't coach, there's your proof.
