Zoom Official Signed

[mrjuk lostinspace]

Welcome aboard Zoom. Please don't suck.

AND…Please stay healthy!

 

[JimboBBN]

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

I think most places have him 6’4. But he’s a well built, strong kid. Shouldn’t have to worry about glass shoulders like with Lowe

 

[Noledynasty2490]

IF somehow you get Stokes and Freeman with Kam and Moreno coming back, then Hawthorne, I mean, you got something. I don't know how good it would be but..it's something. Were not totally dead yet.

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).

Its not a typo. I checked the stats of the games and yeah...0 blocks. crazy

 

[Bluegrass79]

You got to have a big bulldog and a little bulldog at point guard. It looks like he's the big bulldog

 

[KOF98]

Get me Freeman next then I’ll crack a smile

Freeman is one of the worst possible pairings with this guy. Momcilovic or Graves would be ideal.

 

[NineBannersSoon]

Is he decent defensively? I’ll admit I haven’t looked.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Get wilkins, Stokes, and Freeman and I'd be happy. Doubt that happens but I'll hold out hope

I’d really like them 3. We really really need them. I wouldn’t mind the dude from Utah. He can at least score the ball.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

I don't care, but anyone know how much? I have a feeling he got the bag ..

He should give Wright a huge thank you because his little stunt to up his BYU offer made him some money for sure.

 

[Artlaibesghost]

Welcome aboard. For you guys trashing the kid before he gets here you are all massive POS's

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

We're not finished. Didn't you see Freeman will choose is by tomorrow afternoon?

That’s what we always hear. When 1PM comes and still no word we will know that the Whiff machine is picking up speed.

Reposting this here because I think it is relevant in this thread

Diallo does absolutely nothing for me. He is not a star and is not even as good as Aberdeen was. He's a fine 4th or 5th option.

Aberdeen: ORtg = 121.3, DRtg = 114.4 (+6.9 points per 100 possessions), OWS = 2.6, DWS = 0.9
Diallo: ORtg = 114.7, DRtg = 112.5 (+2.2 points), OWS = 2.3, DWS = 0.9

Can he be a pg? Do what marquis teague did for that 2012 team? Don't need a superstar at every spot. I like him if he's a real 6`4.

 

[BlueManchu]

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.

Dude no kidding. I can't believe anyone pays any attention to this charlatan.

I like it. Sure, Wright would have been a better get, but at the same time, Zoom has better size/length and Wright has been at two good BIG12 programs and hasn't won anything, so who knows, maybe Zoom ends up being the better player by years end.

My same thought. Give me big guards. Maybe our sg will be 6'8.

He is built solid & he's supposed to be good at getting to the rim. It's better than where we were at this time yesterday. We need some shooting now.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

The KentuckyMBB following him within the last few hours was the tell(besides our desperation)

Cha ching we got the 5th best PG..... Feels like Daja vu all over again....

 

[BlueManchu]

Eight hours ago we were getting nobody and looking at finishing 15th in the SEC. Now we're getting everybody. Never change BBN

 

[FilsonCat]

I will take a win where we can get one. Geez it has been rough going.

 

[MichaelGray]

I’m always gonna root for a guy who wants to play for my Cats. Welcome Zoom.

Just a hunch but I'd say there's probably about 3.5 million reasons he wants to play for our cats lol.

 

[BigBluefoot]

Is there a more bipolar fanbase in any sport anywhere in the world?

Sounds like you would be happier elsewhere.

 

[MichaelGray]

I actually think he’s going to be better, the eye test looks good. He looks to be quicker with the ball in his hands. DA at times looked uncoordinated and slow.

DA wasn't a PG is why he looked that way, Zoom is a PG.

 

[BlueManchu]

Sounds like you would be happier elsewhere.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

I can see the spin Dr's are in telling us how great of a pickup this is.... I bet Pope backed the brinks truck up for this one...

 

[MichaelGray]

Jeeezus. 2 was his highest made 3’s for a game last year. SMH.

I seen that also & even though it probably should be better, he's a PG, if our SG has those 3 point stats I'll really be concerned lol.

 

[BigBluefoot]

Welcome aboard. For you guys trashing the kid before he gets here you are all massive POS's

I don't see anyone trashing him. But you and a handful of others on here sure like trashing other posters. Quit being such a self righteous drama queen.

 

[MichaelGray]

I feel the exact same. This is the same as Diaboute last year. He’s a good player but he has to be surrounded by shooting. Mo wasn’t and I’m not seeing anything to think Zoom will be either. This is just last portal season all over again striking out on plan A and B and then having to (id bet money) overpay on plan C.

I'll bet money right now that his 3 point shot looks way better than Mo's lol. Form & everything, I cringed every single time Mo took a 3.

 

[MichaelGray]

He only averaged around 2 attempts per game.

That means as a PG he either drives to the rim or passes the ball imo.

 

[UKCowboys]

Goodman is a jackass. He's mad that the bleeding has been stopped momentarily. He would have loved to report that Zoom told UK to eat ****.

Truth

 

[Ky_Bred_Cat]

That means as a PG he either drives to the rim or passes the ball imo.

Exactly. We need shooters.

 

[kfwa]

just remembered that Pope was a Washington transfer

 

[MichaelGray]

Who knows, but Goodman is no expert. I believe he was one of the media people who said the Ferrari team was “too talented.”

I think he said they had too many players of something close to that. Either way, he's a doofus, look at his facial expressions when he talks.

 

[Lameguy]

DA wasn't a PG is why he looked that way, Zoom is a PG.

And that‘s the exact reason that he should be a better fit for the team. DA was clueless about ball reversal, he didn’t see the complete court. That’s why the plays were so slow developing, had to always stop and survey for 5 seconds before deciding what to do.

 

[Maddmatt87]

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.

Year one we had a team. Last year we had 15 guys and no team.

 

[I’m The Village Idiot]

Can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Not only a PG, but a good one and he’s tall. I am very satisfied. Keep it going, Pope!

 

[BassProCat]

 

[katwest]

I’m glad he’s a Wildcat, most of the big boys wanted him and that’s enough for me. He will be a junior and will only get better, from the highlights I’ve seen he’s pretty good right now.

 

[BlueManchu]

just remembered that Pope was a Washington transfer

And we saw what happened there. Mail the trophy to Lexington

 

[MichaelGray]

Exactly. We need shooters.

We do need shooters, I was just pointing out that he does what a PG is supposed to do.

 

[MegaBlue05]

Glad we got one. Welcome aboard, Zoom!

And can some of y’all stop $hitting on everyone we sign? I understand we’re upset with Pope, but good lord some of y’all need some weed or prozac or something.

Let’s see the roster before suicide watch, shall we? And, honestly, worst case is the roster sucks, team sucks, Pope is fired after next season and we roll the dice on someone else. Best case os the pieces fit, the team meshes well and we have a great season. At this point, I’m cool with either option and there isn’t a thing I can do to control it either way.
