2025-26 Roster Chatter (UPDATE: Oweh Returns, Roster Complete)

Awesome to hear his own words...personally kinda figured..just a gut feeling thing.

Never hearof this Croatian kid...gonna have to do some digging

I've read that he's a mean Grant Nelson.

[Mr.Nezzer]

Adriatic League the past two seasons, averaging 10.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 steals in 30 minutes per game, shooting 62% for 2.

Jelavic possesses a 7-foot-2 wingspan,

From ESPN.com
Looks like he likes grabbing REBs(👏), and can dish the ball, and good at getting the ball thru the hoop. And the 7'2" wingspan...noice

Why because he's 6'10 and white?

I compare another white kid to another white kid it's a problem. Always a slick remark.

One of my best friends in this entire world who's a die hard avid UK fan since the 70's who happens to be African American ( just American to me,we was all born here), do you think he was offended or up in his feelings when i told him Chandler reminded me of a freshman Jeff Sheppard?

Nobody pays attention to all that stuff except those trying really hard to prove they are not

No, because his game resembles Grant Nelson's according to the basketball site that said it. You get criticized because you say things like Trent Noah is the next Kyle Korver. You compare players that don't even play the same position or have the same style because they're the same height.

Saw Chandler's stats the last 11 games of the season. Averaged 6 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, shot 48% from 3 and 90% from the line. He's going to be a heck of a 10th man.

Honestly it would be hilarious if one of these European guys was compared to a black player.

7 foot 4 Andreij Schzeptlochzky from Estonia has deep range, excellent fundamentals, and is mobile off the dribble. His closest comparison is a young Doctor J.

[Joneslab]

Garrison's return video goes crazy.

Sounds like KD

Probably goes without saying but I’ll say it anyway: if there were infinite universes, I still don’t think you’d find one where that guy returns if Calipari were the coach.

Nope. The question I have is if Arkansas has a kid who isn't getting drafted, like zero chance of playing professional ball anywhere, who gets an NIL offer from a different school for more money than they are willing to pay, does Cal push them out the door so the kid can make money for his family?

If you were to watch this video and only this video, you could be tricked into thinking that Brandon Garrison is good.

(I keed).

He was good...exactly half the time.

You wouldn't think that's uncommon for a big man who was playing his second year in college (in that conference).

But when he was bad, he was *really* bad. Obviously you'd hope that a 21-year-old junior won't have that same wild inconsistency.

He's also a player that would've been disappointing to lose simply because the teams that appeared there at the end in the Final Four had guys exactly like that: players who'd stuck around and got better. They had stars, but they also had guys like Garrison.

[Joneslab]

If we manage to pull Wilkerson away from IU, I’d say our portal SZN is closed and we enter next season as a preseason top-5 team.

You'd have to think so. (I'd like to see them get the Hawthorne kid only because that's a player you might be able to bank on sticking past next season.)

Both Kentucky and Louisville could be top 10 teams. That's wild.

[teamchemistry15]

He sure does. I remember you saying you knew a lot about foreign basketball. What do you think about ole Schzeptlochzky that Will mentioned?

Adding him to the end of the bench would be great. What ever happened to Max Green? There was a lot of smoke about him coming here. Is he going to be at the end of the bench or did he move on because we recruited over him?
