I want Maker added to that list.....our starting 5 would be crazy athletic.....Ulis, Newman, Brown, Skal, Maker......Poy would be the darius miller of next yr's team

Murray does look like the best out there. Of course you can over-evaluate these type of games but they are playing defense. What is his story, is he a Senior, I don't think they have said any program he is going to?

A lot of Big 10 Big East teams listed when they called off schools recruiting him the hardest. He has handles, the ability to attack the glass through defenses and hit deep threes. Best showing of a guard in this game so far.

Zimmerman is very good. I'm glad that he and his mother are so high on Kentucky.

Ben Simmons may be able to overcome Johnny Jones' bad coaching and make LSU a force. Skal playing very well this half.

Ingram over Brown for me, at least if UK can get Newman.

I know that neither Ingram nor Brown is likely, but if I can dream, it's Newman, Ingram, and Zimmerman. Ingram plays off the ball, he doesn't dominate it. He's very skilled, insanely long, and oozing with potential. Brown is a specimen and a bull, but most of his skill is just putting his head down and charging to the hoop. There doesn't seem to be a plan B, and he's going to want to be the focal point of any college team he plays on.

I just gotta chuckle when i think about people telling me this class is a weak . LMFAO. This class isn't deep at all but the top 20 or so is as good as any class . Newman is a starting NBA guard now . Simmons are NBA Starters right now as well .

Kennard looks good. Skilled with good instincts.


Thon Maker looks terrible. Seems to have bad hands & got blocked 3 times down low. Doesn't play smart.

depends on the system we run next year. if we have ulis, newman, brown, skal, and zimmerman as a starting 5.....spread the court as much as possible and drive it. you still have 4 shooters in that group.

if you are going to run a inside-out offense....ingram

UGH. Completely forgot about this and it doesn't look like it will be rerun anytime soon. Any chance this gets put up on the UK site with all the games?

Someone above beat me to the post. I also think Ingram may not be the best one out there but might be the best fit for us based upon the rest of our existing roster. Skal also with 20 points and the main offense in the second half other than Murray,

This team next year with Newman ,Zimmerman and one more SF could be my favorite under Cal as these kids are straight ballers. Skal is the most impressive post player i have watched play in High school in a longggg while and that includes AD.

Lol when the announcer said Newman may not be 1 and done. Brown doesn't know how to pass yet. Benedict kennard will be right at home.

I've only seen Brown twice and he hasn't shown much either time. But it's tough to judge from allstar games. From what I've seen, give me Igram. I wish we would've gotten kennard too.
