UK's potential is through the roof. People are going to be extremely impressed by Willie Cauley-stein. He is the fastest LEGIT 7 footer I've ever seen and is Tyson Chandler esque defensively. Archie Goodwin has been most impressive so far, Nerlens seems to have a better post game than Davis already. Julius Mays (SG transfer from wright st) is a sniper and is a very high IQ player. Great at pump fakes and just flat out makes plays when the freshman are shakey.

Julius is trash :russ:

I use to hoop with him when he was at NC State. He ran pg and had no handles, no explosiveness, was basically a bum. People use to cringe whenever he had the ball. I'm still trying to figure out how and why UK took two transfers from NC State.

This team isnt nearly as talented as last years or the first year of Calipari it reminds me of the team from two years ago that got better at the end of the season and like that year this year theyres no dominant team so you never know

My big concern is scoring because outside of Goodwin we dont have much consistency and our shooting in general will be spotty

We're gonna be able to go 10 deep at KU finally..I expect another Big 12 title & a run in the tourney once our freshman get acclimated.

Keep an eye out for the names Ben McLemore & Perry Ellis.

Low key, but I think the Terps are gonna be a problem as the season goes on. Think they've got a good shot to get back in the field of 68 (or w/e the number is now). Should be much better on D/the boards with the size they've got coming in. And Dez Wells just got cleared to play. :lawd:

If nothing else, they're gonna hit the ground running, since it all starts w/UK @ Barclays tonight. Can't wait. :obama:

As a Duke fan I'm likely an unwelcome presence in this thread.

I will accept the neg's this may bring.... A lot of people are gonna be mad about getting dunked on by Mason Plumlee this year.:manny:

We took him because he is a senior and he actually is really good. He is very crafty and always seems to find a way to score or make a play. Good at using pump fakes too, I think you and everyone else is going to be surprised
