Isn’t average in a competitive sport (a winner and a loser) 50%? Everyone has to win one for there to be a coach that loses one? I’m no Tenn fan at all but isn’t 123-74 way above the 50% average?
As rosters stand now, how are we feeling, gents?

This is the best post you’ve made on either forum! Very clever RollLaugh
Some question marks defensively, but overall a KU fan has to feel good if Agbaji and Wilson return (sounds like Wilson is almost a guarantee, and Agbaji much more likely than not).
That would be a roster that includes players who averaged 19, 14, 13, 13, 12 and 10 ppg last year. I’ll taie it, especially given the recruiting struggles of late.

Pretty impressive cache of scoring ability for sure. Unfortunately this thread is about Kentucky vs. a Tennessee fan, though.
Tennessee is forever years removed from a Final 4 yet you think they are relevant. Y'all haven't made it to the ladder yet.
UK ain't making the Final 4 this year, but I'll take your bet. Avatar bet. You determine the length and details.
Not really, cause .500 gets you fired. But 123-74 is 62%, which is why I said "slightly above average".
You hearing anything on Guerrier? I’m assuming he’s going to Oregon as they supposedly finished 2nd for his recruitment out of HS. But he didn’t choose them because supposedly he said it was too far away. Oregon does great with Canadian players though. I sure wouldn’t mind some good news this offseason after UK drug their peens on us.
I wished you posted more to make it worth it.
I haven't hear much. But from what I have heard, it's Illinois or Oregon. Oregon's staff has been pushing for him hard though so we'll see.
Don't act like you haven't been touching yourself to my posts
We’ve heard the same. History suggests he’s yours. Odd that both sides don’t seem to be sure what he is doing though.
Relevant to what? To being a title or FF contender? UT is as much a contender as UK this year.
Y'all got your ass knocked pretty good last year. Let the beatings continue...
It's for your own good. 😇
Acknowledgement is the first step. Congrats on your journey to clear thinking.
Fair enough. Now your turn. You do know this is only temporary?
Oh and scoreboard. Both sports. Dang.
Your line of thinking goes against what's actually happening.

Scoreboards?
Explain how my thinking is contrary to what is happening.
Irrelevant to the ENTIRE world of college basketball, in any capacity you want to discuss...past, present, future.
The only thing that matters to sensible fans is the present and the future. Nobody talks about Yale in CFB despite they have more national titles than anyone else. The same is true for CBB unless your a Dinosaur.
Yale doesn't prance around like y'all do saying they are all that. You shouldn't either. The SEC is not UK, rather UK is just a part of the SEC.
PG: Roach, Blakes, Moore
SG: Moore, Keels, Griffin
SF: Griffin, Moore, Baker
PF: Banchero, Moore/Griffin, Baker
C: Williams, Theo John
I like the roster a lot and think the pieces fit together well. A lot will hinge on how Roach develops in Year 2 since its hard to win a title with just an "ok" PG.
This could be the best defensive OAD team in the K era with the switch ability, length and size our roster has.
Shooting could be a question mark on the offensive end but we just need 2 of Roach, Moore, Keels and Griffin to become reliable in that department to space things out for Mark and Paolo.
Preseason Top 5, excited to see how they look vs Kentucky and Gonzaga to start the year.

All ya gotta do is get there..
I haven’t made that claim. Anywhere. All I’ve said is Tennessee is irrelevant now, in the past, and in the future. Period. So keep dodging and dancing. This is fun.
If getting your ass kicked is fun for you, far be it from me to ruin your day by stop kicking. Y'all do nothing but make the claim that your relevant due to your past. However, truth is the past is only relevant to the past. It has no bearing on the present and the future.
You’re purposely being obtuse or you are stupid. If you want the cold hard truth, UK was, is, and will be relevant. Tennessee was never, is not, and will never be relevant. There’s a reason why UK is mentioned in the same breath as Duke, Kansas, UNC. And Tennessee is, well, hardly ever mentioned.
Looking forward to welcoming you guys to Mackey for ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Hopefully it goes better than last time you guys visited.
I'll tell you the cold hard truth you delusional UK fan. UK was irrelevant last year contrary to what you just posted and additionally they were an embarrassment to the SEC. The only help y'all gave the SEC was avoiding Texas in the Challenge. UK has been irrelevant for 7 years now if you use the same metric that you like to employ on UT.
Y'all like to think you'll bounce back to prominence, but the paradigm is broken. If you were a stock you have broken down below historical levels. There is no telling where you'll go all you have is a hope and a prayer, but nothing else to support any kinda FF or higher showing which is the only commodity you accept as relevant.
So, either say UK is relevant because the ghost of Rupp wishes it so and admit you need the past to hold up your teetering program though you earlier said you never make that claim or give up.
I talk about it! My alma mater has more revenue sport titles than some conferences combined.
If Kentucky somehow gets Jackson back I think we have the potential for a Final Four run. At that point it will all depend on point guard play. How good can Wheeler and Ty Ty be?
If we get Jackson back, I'm getting a 41-0 tattoo. Getting him back will be a win in itself. Him and Collins would be fun to watch.
1. Last year was an aberration
2. Say the same things about Duke, UNC, Kansas and see how fast you get skewered
3. The rest is gibberish
Anyone comparing KU's season to 9-16 probably deserves to be skewered.
You 100% missed the point. I was talking about downplaying a blue bloods history.
