  1. I would feel fairly confident in that interior. Wild to think Neto was the same class as Campbell/Banks/Williams and would just be seeing his first significant action as a redshirt junior. But the reports on him seem to be good. It’s just an odd roster cycle at a position where you have 5 starters to have 4 of them departing after this year.
  2. Probably, but it’s already hard enough to get portal offensive tackles as it is and you would be trying to find one willing to come in and compete for a starting job or be content with being the first tackle off the bench. Easier said than done.
  3. I mean, can we confidently say the staff likes Stroh when he hasn’t even touched the field in two years here? Cojoe, Chatman and Goosby are all ahead of him in the pecking order in his own class as things currently stand.
  4. I hope they try to play Owens. A dude who isn’t even good coming off a major leg injury and playing for the first time all year? Yes please.
  5. We’ll know if Tyrese Hunter is the same guy if he goes 2 for 10 from the field tomorrow with 3 turnovers. Didn’t he have 32 points against OU in the last regular season game last year before going like 0 for 9 in the first round of the Big 12 tournament?
  6. What if a Kentucky defender rolled up on Jake Majors or Kelvin Banks or Isaiah Bond who is also playing with a bad ankle? It’s football. The risk of injury is there every play whether you are 100% healthy or not and is not a reason to not play someone if they are given the thumbs up from the training staff. Odds are about half the roster is dealing with a minor sprain somewhere at this point in the season. It’s week 13.
  7. He redshirted last year and has played in 6 games this year.
  8. Because I’m sure the answer would have been very insightful and not at all coach-speak. It would be a waste of a question. Seriously, what would you expect him to say if asked that?
  9. Because I’m sure the committee would look at Arch Manning the same way they looked at Brock Glenn.
  10. The OL also didn’t hold up well on that play.
  11. The fumble/pick 6 was not an injury thing. That was also a pretty good defensive play. The screen pass he threw on the 3rd and 23 was pathetic and he should have been pulled immediately after that. It sucks for him because he looked pretty good in that first half. Also, the fact he gets hurt about every other game is going to ding his draft stock maybe more than any play on the field.
  12. It was a long, winding road to get here, but a Charles/Sharma/Mbatchou DT class is about as good as we could have hoped for.
  13. Mbatchou is announcing today, per Rivals
  14. I thought it was the wrist too but when they showed him on the bench last night he was in a boot.
  15. They need to experiment with Pope coming off the bench the next few games and playing him off the ball with Larry.
  16. Move up to 25th in KenPom. AdjO at 48th. AdjD at 13th.
  17. It bodes well for us in close games that we have a good closer (Johnson) and are a pretty good free throw shooting team.
  18. I think a lot of issues would be solved if we just burned the coaches polos
  19. He was not good at initiating the offense and doing PG stuff pretty much that whole first season. Once we brought in Hunter and he got to play off the ball more it helped him a ton.
  20. If you are referring to last year, we surprisingly had one of the best seasons in school history when it comes to FG%, 3P% and FT%. I agree the overall flow isn’t what you would want to see. Maybe those numbers reflect the individual talent.
  21. What we are asking Jordan Pope to do on this team is very similar to what we asked Marcus Carr to do in 2021. Two shooting guards we are asking to play PG and the early results show that.
  22. Shedrick has to stop picking up 2 early fouls and forcing us into Onyema minutes.
  23. I guess it’s expected at this point since he missed a good amount of time but Mark does not look comfortable right now
  24. Smart by our guys to let them keep getting offensive boards so their FG % gets worse
