So it's down to our guys and the Harrison twins

[caw]

UK will have 10 McDDAAs.

By class not starter:

PG: Harrison, Ullis
SG: Harrison, Booker
SF:
PF: Poythress, Lee, Lyle
C: Cauley Stein, Johnson, Towns


They have a pretty big hole at SF unless Booker or Poythress play there. I could see either do so but Poythreas would only really be effective if Towns is as good a shooter as people say and if Towns can play the four.

 

[phillionaire]

I thought DD was ahead of both of these two anyway. Austin from Baylor and now Pothead McGary from Michigan are bigger problems for DD.

pothead? if he got caught drinking would you call him an alcoholic?

not one person on that team can consistently stretch the floor.... Pack the paint against that team

Yeah. That team will win games, likely playing one of the Harrisons at the 3. But none of them are exceptional shooters, and the Harrisons aren't great decision makers. And they better hope the big guys they're bringing in can score, because their returning players are unimpressive on that end.

They're an NCAA tournament team, but they don't scare me at all if I'm a talented team looking to defend them. The refs scare me, that's all.

How are 8 6-9 PF and C going to get PT? Each guy will have to play 12-18 min Too many FC pos

UK has become more than a basketball program under @UKCoachCalipari -- it's become an empire. And there is nothing anyone can do to stop it.

The reactions from some well known college hoops pundits right now to the Harrison news is so hysterically over the top right now it's hilarious. Do these guys get paid to cheerleader ky?

Right. He was saying... of the people who were leaning, only those two decided not to declare.[/quo
You are correct. My bad.

Largely due to Randle but they rebounded about 40% of their misses last year. That number may rise. They will pound teams. Drive recklessly or launch a shot and attack the ORs. That's how they will win, that and learning to shoot foul shots. Also, Booker an Ullis are decent outside shooters.

Has the rules changes since UCONN won the championship? When the game starts, UK will still field 5 players like the other team, right? Just to clarify also, they will still use one ball when they play, right?

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Have all those 4* and 5* recruits signed LOI's with Kentucky? I don't imagine that Booker or Ulis are too happy about this announcement.

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

They are crazy deep. They just played us in the Championship game and they are only losing two starters from that team? They have tremendous potential. The twins will improve and get better. For the first time ever Calipari will have a pg return in his system and this will be his most experienced team since his Memphis days. Karl Towns is the real deal too. With the ability to stretch the floor and pass the ball he can easily spread the floor. The twins aren't bad shooters themselves either. Booker.. Ulis... The team is nba sized, deep, and experienced. I'm going to love our team next year and I hate Kentucky and Calipari as much as anybody but they are going to have a scary team next year.

 

[mauconnfan]

There's going to be a lot of pissed off people on the bench in Kentucky that's for sure…….like Poythress most of this year it will probably be the returning players because of all the promises he makes the 5 stars frosh…….

Should be entertaining!

"Crazy deep" and chemistry are many times on different pages…….watch that team closely, he will have trouble!

They reload every year and do well for the most part. Why would the one time they actually have some of their star players return result in chemistry issues? This is the first time in a long time Calipari has his PG back. He also has a PG to back him up that will be a 3 to 4 year player that can develop and be more of a distributer than any of them. I know we as a program have owned Kentucky but let's not act like they haven't been dominant to everyone else in college basketball.

 

[Brochacho]

Honestly, UK should go into the tournament undefeated but will probably find a way to lose 10 games.

we were crazy deep and talented a few years ago Drummond Lamb, Smith, Alex O. SHABAZZ, DD,RB,

I'm sorry but you can't compare the talent on this Kentucky team to that years team.. No where near close.

Thats my point We were "crazy Deep and talented" more so than this Kentucky team and we flamed out against ISU

You make it sound like being a pothead is a bad thing.
