Kenny Brooks‘ program?

Batt took over as AD at Georgia Tech in 2022, right before the 2022-23 season and really right as NIL started to form into the mainstay that it is today. His first year as AD, the Yellow Jackets went just 13-17 overall and 4-14 in ACC play. Every year after that, however, Georgia Tech got better and better.

The NC class this year is bonkers btw. There's always some talent around but this year a bunch in the top 20 nationally. Glad to see we are in with CJ Rosser. Monster talent.

If what has been opined/reported about is true, it seems the staff hopefully learned their lesson last cycle.

I think this is a smart move, especially with no foreign trip (more than likely). This should help with the bonding and chemistry of the team, and I am big believer that a lot of that is formed off the court/outside the locker room. Some of my favorite memories were those late nights bs'ing with the boys, and that stuff carried over when it came time to battle for one another.

One spot left open. But if I remember correctly from last year, UK showed the numbers after the roster was complete. Who knows. I could see one more come on but who the heck knows.

If you were to play in todays college basketball what number would you want to be for UK? Me I think I would want something like 66 or 88 something like that. I like the look of those numbers doubled up. I was 54 in basketball and 78 in football way back when.

Posted on X that the squad should be ranked somewhere between 8-13 in the preseason based on statistics.

Also said it would be rated 10-16 offensively and 8-13 defensively.

The defensive rating is a little surprising to me.

I think this should be very encouraging.

Speaking to the Courier Journal, Brooks said, "We're gonna have a really good balance...I think everyone is capable of knocking down 3-point shots... This will probably be the best 3-point shooting team, and it's not just the guards that can shoot them; our post players can shoot them."
