Can't teach size. I'm sure gms see the potential. You can tell he will be good in the future. I'm sure they all say what we say. He needs to work on his conditioning and strength which he can do while sitting on somebodys bench.
Florida has three guys coming back who were clearly a lot better than Moreno. I'm not sure what we are supposed to do when things like this happen.

Yes I said Moreno didn't want to play for Pope but this isn't Popes fault. Moreno was one of the best centers coming out of highschool last year. He's talented and huge. If he goes pro he just goes pro.

I want that kind of problem here. I want Pope to get players that have the potential to go pro.

Exactly.

Another thing that I've considered is that MM literally grew up watching all of our one and done players. It's reasonable to think that he has been dreaming of being a one and done himself for years...just like is basketball idols.
Very possible because believe it or not just because a lot of the fanbase can't stand Cal(for good reasons)...going to UK and being a one and done was the hottest thing for most of Morenos life. Any player his age. That's all they know.

So you are just opposed to applying logic when you say these things?
I can man. I just replied to you again with logic. But knowing how you are with me there's some things I understand a one word answer will be better than going back and forth with you on something minor.


I can say Moreno doesn't want to play for Pope. I have no clue if it's true. But I can say it man. We don't have to go back and forth on some things.

That is the whole fail and bail philosophy that did Cal in to a huge extent. Succeed and proceed was one thing but when we are losing guys that are not nearly as good as guys other teams get back that is not a recipe for success.

You can say these things if you wish. It is known as being a negative troll.

This makes no sense but I am pretty accustomed to that out of you.
You say I'm a troll. You say I'm negative. You say I don't have good conversations. Why do you want to go back and fourh with me so much then?

Why don't you disagree with the same people that like my post? Obviously I'm not the only one with certain opinions. Why do you choose to only go against me? Why don't you try to be more understanding even if you disagree. It's not that hard.

Again I ask. What did Andy do you you?

Is this a ryan lemond vs saul smith situation with you and Andy?

It should be obvious that your behavior along the way has established how I now deal with you. I even specifically informed you when I decided it should be adjusted.

If he’s stupid enough to play in the G league next year then he’s a damn fool . Let’s find out

This sounds like sour grapes from a middle
aged man. No offense (I get being emotional but sheesh).

Obviously he doesn’t think he’s going to “be in the G League”. Especially since the chatter is that he’s going 1st round or early 2nd round with a guaranteed rookie contract.
But maybe he doesn’t know Moses from Rupp Rafters thinks he’s a “damn fool” lol. Perhaps then he’d reconsider his decision. Maybe along with his agent and family to say “I think Moses is right- it’s absolutely foolish of me to not come back to Kentucky”

As always you missed the mark. You are too often dishonest and disingenuous and almost always negative. The spell you took crapping all over the forum and getting banned multiple times a day doesn't help your case either. We have reached the curfew when I will respond to you for the evening. You can try again tomorrow if you insist.

Good for Moreno. Think about it this way, who thought he would start, much less contribute last year and then be positioned to scoot to the NBA? Maybe it has something to do with how Pope is able to develop big men? Hat's off to Moreno if he can get to that level!

Moreno literally signed a deal to take less money to come back to UK if he doesn't go pro. What you say, makes no sense at all.

If I feel the way about somebody that you feel about me then I usually don't interact. Again what did Andy do to you because you just started this stuff with me a couple days ago. Not because of my post or opinions but because my avatar is a potiician you don't like. Just stop interacting if you feel that way about me.

What is somewhat mind-blowing to me is how ineffective Johni Broome has been, despite his injury. It is harder to be an effective big man in the NBA than I realized, it seems.
How Moreno will do is uncertain, but he'll might get paid big $$$ to find out, it seems.

Still think he comes back. He isn't that good.
I remember hearing that a lot during Calipari’s time at UK. And what I said then was they’re good enough to get drafted. I’d say the same thing about Moreno now. NBA teams largely draft on potential – and for good reason. So, some of the best basketball talent/upside evaluators in basketball think Moreno has a lot of talent and upside – which is true even if he were selected in the 2nd round.

I take it you wouldn’t be too excited about Moreno returning to UK (maybe you’d say you’re not excited about anything related to UKBB until Pope is gone or something like that), but I’m hoping like he** Moreno returns. So, I'm also hoping like he** that you're' right.

Hey Paul I actually don't even have to say anything about certain topics because most of the fanbase is on the same page. I'll let you attack them for having common sense opinions.

Wasn't it said Moreno agreed to come back to UK for a discount? I dont think his flirtation with the NBA has anything to do with Pope. His real dream is the NBA
