Really simple why UK average at best

  • Goodwin: great athlete, but not a good basketball player, YET
    Poythress: Soft, athletic, but needs two to three years of college...
    Noel: All D, no offense at all
    Stein: Improving, but still raw offensively; no real consistent move around basket
    Harrow: slight build, weak, also not strong willed, below average shooter
    Wiltjer: slow, limited game, good set shooter, but needs 3 seconds to shoot..can't do that when you have no players for other defenses to worry about..no doubles to open up Wiltjer
    Polson: Should be at Eastern
    Mays: Decent D1 player; limited game

    All in all, too many missing pieces and lack of leader...this is what you get.

  • And who recruited this implied mess & coached them? Please place the blame where it truly resides. You can't say your putting the program largely on the shoulders of one & dones & then not deliver & blame same.

  • I sure hope most of those are one and done, or just done. You are right I love Coach C but he does need to focus on personality as much as physical skills. i have watched or listened to Uk for 50 years and this group just has no heart or drive other than to get to the NBA. Love to see coach recruit more hard working 3 and 4's to go with a few 5's.

  • One of the biggest reasons this team wasn't very good is because they just couldn't shoot consistently. We had 1 game that we didn't score 50 pts. and 8 games where we scored in the 50's or low 60's. I believe they were all losses except for a couple. You're not going to win many games with those kinds of numbers. But, it all starts with a good point guard, which we didn't have.

  • What a totally B.S. thread...... Goodness, it's truly amazing how many Head Coaches reside in the Bluegrass......that have never held any similar position. Thank God we have Coach Cal! We suffered through your "couple of hard working 3-4's to go with a few 5's." Utter lunacy!
