@BigBlueDylan Let’s say UK pulls off getting Milan, do they just play Ousmane some minutes at the 5 and try to get another guard/wing? I feel like they need another player in that role, as well.

[Craig Weaver @scratchweaver]

@BigBlueDylan You can only assume they are working on things no one is aware of. They need a PR win just to settle down the negativity. Still concerning there seems to be such a negative national narrative. Our fans are crazy but when you’re getting dumped on by everyone that’s really bad.

@KyleTuckerCBB @TravisBranham_ The kidney stone I’m dealing with might be more fun than the last year as a Uk basketball fan.

[Craig Weaver @scratchweaver]

@zoom_enthusiast @Big_BlueNation_ It is remarkable how little they have done to correct this. Pope said all the wrong things in the press this year and the off season narrative is only getting worse. Our fans don’t help, but given the remarks from Lowe and those around Jasper, you need some good PR.

[Craig Weaver @scratchweaver]

@GregNJ Well if that’s the only player the staff identifies as a real want and they completely fumble it, I’d say that’s worthy of concern. There is basically no positive buzz surrounding this program right now. I think criticism is warranted.

[Craig Weaver @scratchweaver]

@GregNJ They just need a lot of everything. Zoom is great if they can get him. Like his size. They still need probably three more guards after that and the pickings are getting slim, especially for legit scorers that can knock down a 3. Certainly isn’t over, but they’ve flopped so far.

@Harryscoops469 @JerryScoop469 They already have the Ratliff brothers. Not sure why that fit makes sense.

[Craig Weaver @scratchweaver]

@Wildcat_wave We’re going to need several guards. Really liked the idea of huge guard like Avdalas as a matchup problem. Just hoping Pope finds the right fits but also enough size to match what the top teams were able to do this year.

[Craig Weaver @scratchweaver]

@MattSakR2NG Freeman doesn’t have great shooting numbers, but I don’t really know how he was used. Very intrigued by the Va Tech guard because of his size. Really need a guy that can attack the rim to replace Oweh.

[Craig Weaver @scratchweaver]

@TristanUda Wish we had a chance to see him healthy. Not sure whether to see this as his plan or the staff going a different direction.

@MrsTylerKSR Never fully trust what a coach says, but really never trust what this coach says.

[Craig Weaver @scratchweaver]

@josh72484 Yup. Man there are just some many.

[Craig Weaver @scratchweaver]

@josh72484 Oh and Tennessee.

[Craig Weaver @scratchweaver]

@josh72484 I’m just anti Duke the rest of the way.

[Craig Weaver @scratchweaver]

@josh72484 While it got vacated, that is how UofL won their last title. Just hack and slap. It’s absurd that some teams get away with it and others are held to a different standard.

[Craig Weaver @scratchweaver]

@scoutingU And still Barnhart gets a million dollar a year retirement gig.

[Craig Weaver @scratchweaver]

@JackPilgrimKSR No shocker, but this is another guy widely considered a favorite to come to UK that is now going elsewhere. This year just continues to be a PR disaster for UK.

[Craig Weaver @scratchweaver]

@Wildcat_wave Maybe there is more to the story, but you would think the athletics department would answer some questions or do something to alleviate the very real concerns and optics surrounding recruitment. Instead we just continue to get another scolding from Barnhart.
