I really hope Dillingham plays here at UK. I'm not to worried about his weight . It's the size of the heart in a player that I like. I am sure UK has looked at all of his grades to be sure if he is able to be here.

I said our highly ranked guards….
Harrow was #25 overall
Hagans #12 overall (may be the only good example to refute my point, but he also reclassified and was not horrible imo)
Wheeler transfered and was never viewed as an elite talent
Askew was #32 overall in his class.
None of those guys were top 10 and viewed as elite guards other than maybe hagans
Yeah he can finish at the rim for sure
I think from what I’ve seen of him that he can be really good. Maybe Cal will screw it up but generally he does well with talent.
First of all, he's been compared to Ulis, Kyrie and Fox, are you blind?
Second of all, I never said he couldn't compete, I said it's a concern, given his size. That’s it.
Learn reading comprehension.
you were talking about him weighing 170 pounds
i just gave you an example of a player that weighed exactly that
Well, hopefully he gets to 185, it would sure help.
Nobody can deny that NIL and the transfer portal have transformed college basketball. There are much older players now and the game has gotten more physical.
If I had to guess, I'd say Dillingham will he fine, but don't expect him to come right in and dominate juniors and seniors. There's a reason you aren’t seeing any freshmen playing big roles in the NCAAT this year.
And you used a guy that is an exception to what is normal. Do you know how many guys his size don't typically even see the court their freshman year?
Doesn't matter if Askew is 6'3" or 6'2" (I've seen both), some dudes struggle at this level that looked good in HS.Umm Devin Askew is 6’3.
My response was about small players still being able to thrive. Just like the folks who claimed Anthony Davis was too thin to produce right away.
I’ve compared Dillingham to a mix of Ryan Harrow and Marquis Teague so I’m thinking you have me confused with the wrong guy.
Not to mention, I’ve said many times I don’t believe Dillingham ever plays a game for UK.
If Cal doesn't figure out a way to spread the court, I don't care who we have in the backcourt, we won't have success getting to the rim.
Beating one guy off the bounce is one thing, beating 2 and sometimes 3, is a whole different challenge.
I know this isn't good way to look at things. But I have already all but given up on next season. I will watch them all root like hell for the Cats. But I expect a repeat of this past season. If not worse. Wouldn't shock me if they don't even make the tournament.
Build in excuse already for Cal. We are young.
You quoted my post jackass and said there are some real idiots on here, directed straight towards me. I just made a statement that Ulis competed and did just fine at probably 140 pounds, not one time did i even hint that he was as good as Ulis, that remains to be seen. You are exactly
the one who doubted he could compete at 170 pounds, which shows your ignorance. I can comprehend just fine, maybe you should think before you strike.
Not sure what you're getting at. I said I had concerns with Dillingham's slender build competing against grown *** men and you guys are comparing him to Ulis, Fox and Kyrie and I simply said those guys are the outliers, there are thousands of guys thst size that never succeeded.
Just because Fox and Ulis were tough as nails, doesn’t mean everyone else is.
Well, I called a spade a spade, deal with it.You quoted my post jackass and said there are some real idiots on here, directed straight towards me. I just made a statement that Ulis competed and did just fine at probably 140 pounds, not one time did i even hint that he was as good as Ulis, that remains to be seen. You are exactly
And how the hell am I ignorant because I have doubts? Are you kidding me? Everything Cal touches these days, turns to dust. The guy would rather lose than admit he was wrong, it's a complete **** show. So if you're going to be blind to the whole situation and buy into this "wait til next year" crap, then YOU are the one that is ignorant.
Yes being good a top player in general regardless of size is an outlier to the general rule. You said size/weight concern you and people have cited multiple examples of people who are small and still performed and you just keep coming back to it being an outlier which doesn’t make sense. He is ranked highly even though those ranking take size into account…
Again, your lack of intelligence has somehow twisted what I've been saying into me supporting Cal? Not sure how you derived that from anything I have said? We actually do agree on that, I've been ready for that Clown to be gone for at least 3 years. He is pathetic and no, I have no hope things will be better, regardless of who we have coming in. Not sure what your problem is, but you seem to be really tough sitting behind a keyboard
Are you sitting in mommy's basement seeing who you can piss off ??those guys were top recruits just like Dillingham is
there is a lot of players 10-20 pounds heavier that never succeed
They just said on the mcds game that he’s a bucket so what is it? He can shoot or he can’t? I’ve read he is a quality shooter.
Lulz, mommy's basement? Where did you get that one from? That's never been used on here before.Again, your lack of intelligence has somehow twisted what I've been saying into me supporting Cal?

Weak sauce.
Maybe I’m just higher than Rob Dillingham than everyone else, but I think he’s immensely more talented than Kennedy Chandler.
