Ok? If we was more than certain denzel could get another year, im sure pope would love for him to stay..the pg positon we dont have time to waste. This is also possibly about trying to pair up stokes and diallo together.
Zoom Official Signed
- Thread starter FitchandMurray29
- Start date
Ok. Rolling with zoom. Let’s get others.
CMP needs shooters. Lots and lots of shooters. Don’t worry about Stokes.

This. I won't believe Pope can put together a good team until he shows it all ooc and sec long.
It’s a start, I’ll try to hold my judgement until we officially miss on all the stars. Stokes will be the big decider for me outside of a surprise commitment. I don’t see us being better than last year without him.
I agree and he has 2 years left and doesn't miss games . His size will be beneficial in conference play. I know he's not Wright but he's a solid player. I remember when we signed Butler there was a lot of negativity and he has his best offensive season with us. Good pickup imo.
He only averaged around 2 attempts per game.
Really great news. Now go get Stokes, Freeman and keep going
Welcome to the Cats young man!
Wish you nothing but success.

And, ppl here coped last year by saying Mo shot 40% from 3 at Alabama. Yeah, on .5 attempts/game. Lmao. Anybody could take one look at Mo’s mechanics & see that he’s no shooter. I think most ppl just look at stats & assume that translates to winning basketball.
Like I said, Diallo is a good player. Don’t mean to imply otherwise. But, he just doesn’t fit what Pope supposedly wants to do. I, admittedly, overvalue shooting. But, it’s imperative to have lots of good shooters if you’re gonna run an offense like this. It’s like having Tim Couch running the option.
Zoom shoots 58% at the rim. He finishes! That has been a huge issue for us. He also is an excellent defender and can switch. If we can get that 31% from 3 to 35%, we have something special!
Welcome to Kentucky Zoom,GO CATS !
You can’t even keep your stories straight. You said our original top target was him and Dedan. Then you said we only missed on Wright. Dedan was a miss too unless Pope is storing him away somewhere.
He needs both or he’s done here.
Popes new visit strategy must be working. I heard he was trying his best to relate of the youth.
Finally someone that gets it. Last year we had a couple guys trying to audition for the NBA. There were a total of five guys last year that were me first players. Most people know who those guys were.
So he’s a junior with 2 years eligibility, correct?
Is he the original top target because of pick-and-roll, being big/strong compared the last 2 years of point guards, or simply the small connection to Stokes?
Hopefully it's just a strategy. As a defender you can defend a shot by trying to block it or by blocking the shooter's vision. I say hopefully because if he's not obstructing the shooter's vision then he's just not defending shots(if that stat is not a typo).
Who knows, but Goodman is no expert. I believe he was one of the media people who said the Ferrari team was “too talented.”
his coaching wasn't the problem first year. last year it was substitution patterns. I think that was due to being too nice and playing players who needed to be on the bench Johnson, Garrison mainly.
I'm fine with it, he's a good player, I just hope we didn't overpay too much just to say we got somebody.
I agree that he is not a better player than Aberdeen but I think he's a little better point guard than Aberdeen, who is better as a 2 guard. When you consider that Kentucky is almost certain to have much better backup point play from L. Williams and whoever else we get than we got out of JJ, then the point guard position is looking quite a bit better than it was last year. It's something...
Denzel is 22 YO in his 4th of college, Zoom was 20 in his second year. I would expect Zoom to improve next year.
I hope this is a good sign.
Stokes likes Zoom's commitment on IG quick

He was the first player UK had on campus.
Get me Freeman next then I’ll crack a smile
It’s a solid start. Unspectacular, but solid. Hoping we didn’t pay a premium.
Great. Midrange shots are my most hated shot in all of college basketball.
So is he a big 6' 4" or is he 6'5"?
I'm getting two different numbers on this guy. Is he a big pg? 6'5" is the perfect size for point guard in my opinion.
His size is the best thing imo.
