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

[KentuckyWild2020]

Amen! Jon Hood was never good enough to play at Kentucky. His HS stats were high because he played on a bad Madisonville team and did all the scoring and rebounding.

Now with all due respect and i mean all due respect, you know many of the high school Kentucky legends had padded stats because they didn't play any real competition and they always had the ball in their hands.

If you get a chance, Google and find the Ramon Harris Jon Hood podcast, you may have a different opinion of Hood..

It's not so much an argument as it is people who paid attention just telling those with crazy ideas that they're wrong.

Nobody saying any one is right or wrong.

In all fairness to everyone, I am die hard NBA for many years. Some of these teams may run 6'7 centers and just wild unorthodoxed traditional rotations. Standard as we all know is not standard these days.

Pope plays a NBA 3 guard offense with interchangeable pieces,that's how i see it. In the 90's 2000 era i would have assumed Oweh was a 3 as well but he Robinson and or Brea would almost switch positions in real game time depending on the set.

It's Kentucky basketball, everyone pays attention under the microscope

Honestly, don't even know who that is.

Only Mike Scott i know pitched for Astros.

Shameful. He's the pride of Greenup County, played from '87-'89 and then transferred to Wake Forest.

The question about Wilkerson defense is unfortunately he wasn’t overly interested. His offensive numbers took a big jump this past season and increased his 3 point percentage from around.340 to over .420.

his assist numbers were less than 3 a game as well as his rebounds. Man was asked to be a shooter and that’s what he did.

Mike Scott guarding 1-5 .

He's got soft paws....

My bad..

I know back in the day Carrol County of all places had a Human highlight reel by the name of Marc Mumphrey,electrifying high school player, Lighthouse may have seen him,i don't know.

Mont Sleetz was a 70's high school player out of Eminence that ended up at Murray State.

As much as I love Defense, I still prefer good offense over Defense.

What do you expect Harris to say on a podcast with Hood? "Hey bro, we're friends but you weren't good enough." Of course not. Forgive me for not letting a few minute clip on a podcast change my mind about what happened for four years.

While we are waiting on a "Boom" or "Kaboom" (leaving or going elsewhere), how do we think player's of old would perform in this era or vice versa?

Obviously you didn't listen of how the team initiated Hood per Gillespie's instructions to see if had heart and could make it.

What happened, he got hurt then was recruited over.

Still 3 Final Fours, Ncaa Champion.

Don't matter, Kentucky fans would find a way to run Rex Chapman Rondo or any other Kentucky born player out in this social media era..

Back to interchangeable positions.

If you go to YouTube and search videos on how the zoom offense is run, there's a 2-side and a 3-side. Brea and Robinson were on the 2-side; it looks a lot different in terms of how they play it, particularly with Brea coming off those curl screens etc. Oweh was on the 3-side...being a small forward and not a shooting threat. Different actions on that side of the court.

Virtually all guys with guard skills, but differences in how the offense is run.

So in that way: no, the positions aren't completely interchangeable. Simply because if you put Oweh on the 2-side, he isn't going to run off all those screens that Brea would...because he can't shoot great form outside and has to be set up in the offense as a driver.

Razor Ramon Harris has a podcast?

The Alaskan Assassin?

And Jon Hood was his guest of honor? I guess Billy Clyde or John Wall were busy.

How long ago is "old"?

Because John Wall would be John Wall today. Mashburn would be Mashburn today. Dan Issel probably wouldn't be Dan Issel today.

And every single player on Kentucky's roster last year would score in bunches in Issel's day. Just a different level of athleticism and shooting ability.

Oh, he got recruited over? By.... better players? Players he wasn't as good as?
