I'm definitely a UK fan but you can't be serious about the last 5 years with Arkansas and UKs success? Also are you coming on here gloating after a summer tournament? Weird.

The only thing I like about Musselman is that he's not afraid to build depth on his roster. Unlike a certain UK coach.
Welp, the talking heads are still saying Arkansas will finish ahead of UK in the SEC. I’m not so sure about that. If this UK team can even play decent defense, good luck to the opposition. We won’t have issues scoring the ball this season IMO.
Your entire posting experience on this message board didn't play well, did it.
You think the 30 people in this photo are players? They have 12 scholarship players… just like us. It took a couple of weeks to assemble that many players.

Yeah it's just such a hard thing to predict with UK. I feel as though the talking heads in years past would have us ranked top 5 and SEC favorites. We've failed to reach expectations which has made everyone hesitate to crown us anything yet. I do believe this is the year we get back to where we need to be though! We need Bradshaw and Ugonna to be healthy though.
El Ellis sucks
He may have accumulated some stats last year but on a good team he ain’t doing it. I watched Louisville a lot to bask in their misery and Ellis just isn’t very good. He was the only option they had.
Well Joey Hart is a reach. And Tre Mitchell literally fell into our lap. Who knows if our big guys will ever play.
I fully expect us to be shorthanded like we’ve been for several years until Cal proves otherwise.
Arkansas has made six NCAA Final Four appearances (1941, 1945, 1978, 1990, 1994, and 1995) in History winning only one Natty. Eric "No Final Four" Musselman is not a bad coach but to compare him to Cal is funny. Cal has almost matched the history of Arkansas basketball final four success and will surpass it after this year with number Nine.
We are Kentucky!

That could have contributed to some of his inefficiency, no? Theoretically with better players around him he shouldn't be the main focus of the opposing team 100% of the time anymore.El Ellis sucks

You're right. I also usually negate three straight years of trailer trash basketball by pointing to four exhibition games to negate all of that trash. As always, such a good take on your end.
I think Ellis will be the odd man out in the backcourt. Menifield Battle and Mark as the starters. Then Davenport at the 3. Ellis will just be a backup imo.
Devo Davis will take some PT away from Menifield for sure, he's a lock to start. Davenport I'm not sure on, probably an offense vs. defense thing between he and Chandler Lawson but I don't see him starting. Ellis I see as being a sparkplug off the bench similar to how JD Notae was his first year. I'd probably say this:
Mark
Battle
Davis
Brazile
Mitchell
Well we have 11 scholarship players. We might pick up one more big. That certainty isn’t short handed. You can’t help injuries
We’re currently at 10 (5 freshmen, Thiero, Ugo, Hart, Burks, Mitchell). Hopefully we get another big guy but even at 11 scholarship players the last two years we were wrecked with injuries by the end of the year.
How is he doing better than Cal? The dude had a guy on his team that hand delivered a murder weapon. Strait up hand delivered it and everybody knows. How is that
Miller never touched or even saw the weapon. It was covered up on the back seat of a car. He didn't know that anyone was going to be shot.
Announced today that Menifield is not on scholarship and is redshirting this year so that clears things up a bit. Freshman Layden Blocker probably get some of those minutes.
So do y’all have just 12 scholly players now? Is Menifield clearing room for that SF/PF Denijay Harris guy?
Separately, I heard Baye Fall was having issues and may redshirt (on scholly) too.
At Kentucky if you average 8.3 losses a year and have a .750 winning percentage in conference you’re 10 loss Tubby
At Arkansas if you average 10.2 losses a year with a .577 winning percentage in the SEC including 2 losing records you’re hyped by everyone from your own fanbase, Kentucky fans, and the national media.

Harris is already on campus and would be the last scholarship filled in place of Menifield. Staff might have seen this coming since it didn’t make sense why we brought in one more than allowed.
Fall arrived later than expected but as of now sounds like he’ll be good to go, who knows if/when that would change though.
Lol. Dude had a scorching hot take. Please don’t spoil it by injecting facts. Takes all the fun out of it.
Who on your roster would Harris play over? Just trying to understand the logic of bringing in a senior role player on Southern Miss who has little chance to get minutes.
He’ll definitely be toward the end of the bench but it was going to be Grant Nelson’s spot until he went to Alabama so he was probably the guy out there left they liked the most. A 6’6-6’7 combo forward was something the roster needed
