I think that was a satirical post from Not Jerry Tipton.

I realized after i posted, i just scanned the headlines.


Anyways, time to move on and get ready for October with what we have....

I for one am glad that's over. Move on and prepare our team.

Same here, Lighthouse.

I don't know what the problem is with Wynard, whether he's out of shape, short on talent or what. Cal recently made a statement to the effect that Wynard is progressing more slowly than he had anticipated.

Who knows??

People need to drop the Jarrett Allen stuff now.

That bridge burned to a crisp a couple months ago.

[Matt Dillon]

I wouldn't go that far, sometimes it's good to have a bull dog on the leash. With Wynard and Isaac, you have two guys in the 265 to 275 range. To ask a skinny 5 star All American center to back down 270 in the paint is still a problem for the N. Noels of the world weighing in at 205.......

I doubt if Wynard sees the floor this season, if ever.

Asked @EvanDaniels if UK could get back in Jarrett Allen race if Bolden picked Duke. "I think that door is closed."

[J.Jennings]

The reality is we're weak at the 5 spot as of right now.

Well Golden State plays D. Green at the 5 spot with Curry, Thompson,Barnes, and Iggy. If you have a rim protector in Lee and a big body in Humphries, it's not all that bad....

[Matt Dillon]

Actually some folks are talking about him as a possibility. HERE WE GO AGAIN.

It does seem odd that he's waited this long, but on the other hand it's crazy to think that he would be willing to be a back-up option while we waited on Bolden all this time.

My guess is that Allen ends up at Texas.

[Matt Dillon]

From what i can read, looks like his momma was pushing him to Duke and let's be honest, Cal can't win over every momma every time....

With or without Bolden or even Lee, don't forget about Isaac Humphries at Kentucky next year. We saw a very young man who in my opinion had a few helluva games for Kentucky and will only get better plus he can shoot and score. If he gets in tip top shape which i expect he will, we don't necessarily need a 5 star Center crying he's not getting enough shots off.

We are fine, perhaps better than we think especially if both Briscoe and Lee return with Hawkins,Humphries, and Willis. If the Wynard can play and compete, UK is still going to have what TNT call the OKC Thunder's front line, KING KONGS .................

We good folks,,,,,,,

The scholarship is available. I think he would fit the role nicely.

I think Bam can play the 5, but don't think he'll be a polished scorer down low--at least not for the first part of the season. He's definitely big and strong enough to play there.

Of course Towns wasn't seen as a guy who was a prototypical 5 either. In high school he was out there jacking threes. By the end of the year he was nearly unstoppable on the block.

Not sure if Bam has that elite of a skillset, but you have to hope he can work toward that. He definitely has the body to play down low with anyone in college basketball.
