As rosters stand now, how are we feeling, gents?
- Thread starter WojoRising
- Start date
Haha this UTSA fan was feeling pretty good about two recent transfer additions, and this basketball guru just wrecked his dreams for the upcoming season. Picked them to finish DFL.
Edit: Evidently not just a fan; he's also a team manager for UTSA's basketball team.
Thanks, he’s a good fit for us and it’s an area of need. I’m sure Underwood will find plenty of talent for y’all next year
I’m not sure Michigan has ever been better than Kentucky 4 straight seasons but it’s looking like we’ll that that happen.
I can remember Vanderbilt beating UK 4 straight times.
*Little known fact, the last time UM technically beat UK was in 1924.
**Also, to your point, 2019, UK made it to the E8. UM made it to S16. Not sure which criteria your using, just throwing it out there. I will give you last year.

I wouldn’t be so quick to proclaim a 19-12 team better than 25-6. Especially when the Big 10 has proven to not be quite the “gauntlet” you guys have preached.
Also not sure that a team with the same record and same seed (that lost earlier in tourney) was better.
I know, I know.....KENPOM!
I would love to sit here and say we will be better than Michigan next year. We could be, but I'm not going to argue about it at this point.
I have noticed Michigan fans have been talking about Kentucky quite a bit lately. Interesting.

We did lose to them in the final 4 in 1993 in OT. Mash and Brown were both out of the game. Mash was manhandling the fab 5 before fouling out. They had no answer for him.
They beat us in recruiting this year lol. We have all 3 of our recruits, and they are legit, named to the Jordan Brand Classic, UM has 3 named to it as well. We have 3 solid recruits and and the #1 Transfer class. I'm looking forward to our game with them.
On paper we have a pretty damned good team.
I used the word technically in jest.
I'll bet it was a hard decision choosing Crazy as a call name when Stupid was still available, wasn't it?
Why don't you explain how that logic would lead to UK winning in CFB? You do need to consider that UK sucked last year and that UT sucking more was the difference.
1 Giving last year a name (aberration) doesn't change the result. It was a disaster of historical porpotions.
2 Trying to find comfort in the misfortunes of others doesn't change the result and especially when all the others you mentioned out performed UK.
3 Avoiding engaging by calling something gibberish is akin to sticking your fingers in your ears and humming. You can't say UK was relevant when you define relevant as a FF or better. You guys are 7 years away from relevant by the same measuring stick you measure the Vols with. AS far as the future goes it is unknown, but the ghost of Rupp won't figure into much to the chagrin of Cat fans.
We return better players from a better team and bring in 3 McDonald’s All Americans to your 1.
You’re like a chihuahua barking at a German Shepherd.
But she is the Chihuahua that would bluff and run off that German Shepherd.
No Fear!!!
🤣 🤣
You forget about our transfers lol. well congrats anyway I guess... You won't beat us in the actual game
I have already proven you wrong, so that's all I was out to do. We are still friends in my book.
Cool. We return three starters from an Elite 8 run, add in the #1 class in the country (by a wide margin) and bring in a top 20 transfer.
It’s not by far anymore actually. Gonzaga, Tennessee, and Duke closed the gap. Still #1 though.
They are saying the filthy bammers are. I like what our team is shaping up to, so we will have to see.
As long as we win the "super bowl" who cares. (inside joke)
I see that even after 9-16, you’re still the offseason trash-talking champs. 😆
I love how most UK fans are like "yea, we will just wait and see at this point"
But one guy claims we will win the game and Baracus gets a chubby to talk smack about UK.
two years from now we'll hear all UK fans had the same opinion.
Della, looking forward to the HOF classic, will be a good early test for both squads.
Purdue, UNC, Nova, and Tenn is a strong lineup for the event. I can’t wait to be there.
With our 3 recruits, we still are around 6. And we have the #1 Transfer class. We're loaded with shooters. Next year will be huge for UK as far as 5 stars.
This is exciting! We are jazzed to be playing such storied programs as Villanova, Carolina, and Purdue. These type of tourneys make CBB special.
I guess you don't read many posts by JC, crazyq, CB3 (or whatever) or the guy I quoted.
Hell I've been following UK longer than you've been alive lol You're always pessimistic or down on the Cats. I never really understood that from fans. You love the fact that most fans are just in a wait and see mode... very strange.
I'm pumped about this team. I like how the staff is charged and that the team is going to start playing / practicing June 1st. This is going to be a solid UK team.
We've got 3 proven shooters, a brut down low with a great motor, solid point guards, 3 really good recruits and an awesome coaching staff. What's not to like lol
Hell if I didn't enjoy my team, I wouldn't follow them.. All you younger guys should read Lonnie Wheeler's Blue Yonder, the United States of Basketball. I was one of the lucky ones that collaborated with Lonnie (RIP) back in the 90's through USENET. It goes into how BBN got its start...
