It a marketing ploy to get all college basketball fans to go the 247sports ten times a day to check the latest Crystal Ball trending to see who is winning...Kansas? Kentucky? Duke?
UK now trending for Vick

2 things . we haven't NOT GOTTEN Murray . In fact if he reclassifies i bet we DO get him. ALso i can't see how anyone could say he is better then Mulder or Matthews. That ain't a bad thing though as Matthews is a great player who will play 2 years max in college. Mulder is a guy who has a shot at the pros due to his shooting and hops . Vick is the same breathe it seems like but its not like he is Brown either..
If KU and all these other top schools are interested then he could definitely help UK this coming season.
Nice post
I was expecting UK to sign two more players. They need ten to practice. I expected two quality guys, maybe not impact freshmen but two of high enough quality to make for quality practices.
(reads like a quality post....haha)
Let me guess, you think that Matt Scott, Ryan Noel, and Aaron Markowitz are 3 of the 5-8 guys that really know their stuff? Haha! What a joke.
Agreed. The most fearless rebounding guard we have had. His Freshman and Sophomore years he was relentless going after boards and ripping the ball away from post players.
I've been saying the same thing...some of these posters will take a sabbatical next season versus eating their words
Adding wings makes us look more and more like a dribble/drive team. Need 4 guys who can all spread the floor, drive, and knock down open jumpers to make it work right.
The fact that we haven't added inside bulk should be a big clue to how we will play next year.

Based on history here...many of these more vocal Debbie Downers will pop in only when we are down in the first half or lose a game.
We went to zero final 4's with those guys. No thanks. Ill stick with Cal's way of doing things.
The eating of words. Whether it's the negative posters that are right or the positive ones, neither of them will come out and eat their words.
I read a scouting report and don't know how accurate they are but it said strengths were athletic,high motor,3 point shooting,mid range shooting,slashing ability,scoring with either hand.Weakness was ball handling,upper body strength,shot mechanics and defensive rebounding.
Future 150, eh? I thought it was decent, and then I seen that they didn't list everything in the realm of defense as a weakness of Jahlil Okafor.
Thanks for that info Booker. At least gives us some idea of the type of player he is. Have to say if he has a high motor, a good shooter all over the floor and can drive it effectively he sounds intriguing. Those three things can't be taught at this point in their lives but things like defense and rebounding can be improved upon quite a bit.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Kansas fan.
LOL..."negative nancy," "debbie downer," "chicken little"...how precious.
Serious question, what would you call someone like me who said before last season started that we were the best team? Was I a good fan then? Is that erased or in doubt because someone like me (it's really me) sees glaring weaknesses in our roster for next season?

I believe the Scouthoops guy said that this kid had 5 star talent. If that means we have to wait for the 2nd year for it to happen then so be it. They can't all be superstars right away.
That's not the point. At all. Why is it so taboo to discuss the team, for better or worse, without being labeled or judged by some non-existent measurement of true fandom?
How in the hell did you get all of that out of my post? I asked a simple question. Calm down chief.

137 ? Cal must know something...

I was referencing my initial post, not saying you specifically were calling me a bad fan.
Ah forget it...back to Vick.
New era cat, I don't think Cal would expect him to be an immediate contributor. He would be more of a build for the future. Although it's been said that he improved over the last year, I believe.
I think it's fine to have someone like him on the team, but I kind of thought we already did that with Charles Matthews. The '16 is just SO FULL of great wings who can make an immediate impact...we'll see.
LOL if there was 137 players better then him he wouldn't be looking at him . He is a top 60 2016 player and a top 40 2015 supposedly . he is the kind of guy , if the scouts are correct , that has NBA potential but needs a great coach to mold him . he reminds me of the kind of guy UCONN always gets and 4 years later he is an NBAer. WHo knows if he turns out that good but we have 4 scholarships left and i think Cal wants to fil 2 of them if he can with guys who will help . depth is our only real weakness .
Don't forget "Troll".That has to be the most ignorant one.If you have a legit concern about the team then you are some stupid lame *** name.
Really loved Fitch's game. Hard nosed, tough rebounder, clutch shooter. One of my all time favorite Cats.
We need two things. One, and the most important to really be a top team, is another big man. We have no answer if Skal gets in foul trouble. Neither Lee or Poy are centers and Lee is certainly not physical enough at that spot. The second thing we need is talented players to be able to practice 5 on 5. So, if we land this kid we still need the big man.
No we don't. What we need are killers. Or otherwise we would have won it this year. This year's team lacked a killer instinct.
