I thought KY looked solid. A bunch of good basketball players that played good defense, rebounded, got out in transition and shared the ball. No one blows you away, but when they get JQ back and when Oweh gets rolling I could see them as a top 5 team.
On here or everywhere? Because his name has been all over the place. Yes, he is really good.

You don't need excuses for an exhibition anyways. It literally doesn't count.
Plenty talking about him. He’s pegged top pick and some comparing him to Kobe.
You're not looking in the right places, before DraftExpress departed ESPN they put him as the projected #1 pick in the '26 draft and many have pegged him as a better guard prospect than both Antman and Cunningham.
Excited for college basketball this year with Peterson, Dybansta, Boozer, and Ament. This class looks elite.On here or everywhere? Because his name has been all over the place. Yes, he is really good.

That's just from 2 websites and not everything he's been mentioned in on those 2. Do you want me to post more on him? 😀
Mullins isn’t locking anyone down at his weight. For that KU game Ross and/or Silas are the best bets.
They don’t mean everything, but they do mean something. If they happened 2 weeks from now that changes what about what you saw? It valid for UK fans to walk away from that game thinking they can win a national championship
If it happened two weeks from now they count…obviously
“What changes about what you saw?”
Future stars are great but it’s more about programs/players/teams competing. Watching a coach put together a great balanced roster.
If we beat MSU by 30 without two starters I won’t consider us any better or worse than the day prior
I would 😊
MSU is not this years Purdue. Please stop.
Purdue lost a scrimmage two years ago to Arkansas. Purdue made the final and Arkansas missed the tournament. I remember one year Syracuse lost to like LeMoyne in a scrimmage then made the Final Four. There is absolutely nothing to read into from scrimmages. Nada.
Those guys were cool but these guys are looking to be some of the best players in college hoops at schools built to compete.
Again I disagree. Why you’re determined to be obtuse on this is beyond me. There is something you can to take from it. It isn’t some sole judgement on what a team will be. But to say you can’t watch that game and say “hey UK just smashed a nc favorite. They might be good” is asinine. No one game exhibition or counted game, tells the full story on what a team will be. Yet we take things from games all the time. And if it happened 2 weeks from now you’d all of a sudden be able to take something from it? Lol. If we had done that everyone here would be ecstatic. UK fans should be hopeful. That was impressive.
Honestly, I prefer the future stars of yesterday...
Yeah I’m not gonna bother repeating myself. UK is a top 10 team. They won at home in a scrimmage - which they should by the way. Start planning the parade.
