I could see Collins as a stretch 4. He's has a shooting touch plus he's so dang skinny. He's going to learn real quick about weight gain playing against Tshiebwe.

I remember a story Tubby told about 6'6" Chuck Hayes and rebounding drills. It didn't matter how tall the other players were, he dominated every single time.
IIRC Barkley was 6'6" as well.
Oscar will snap him like a twig. UK needs Cockburn at this point so Oscar has someone to bang with in practice without killing them. 😆
Cockburn won’t be going to Kentucky. That’s wishful thinking by the national guys.
Yep. Hayes was one of the best centers UK has ever had with the height of a SF. Barkley too, one of the best rebounders in NBA history.
Gosh if he does. Illinois will forever hate the tramp stamp we put on y'alls back this offseason.
Wasn’t meant as an insult. Just letting you know so you don’t get your hopes up.
If I was you I’d be more worried about Cal coaching a competent offensive system and figuring out how to deal with egos again.
Not at all, if Kofi doesn’t come back to Illinois it’ll be because he’s playing in some foreign league.
Disappointed Antigua left, but his issues weren’t going to be resolved in Champaign.
You guys can have Chin lol, dude was brought in to get us Ayo. Now that he’s gone, Chin has little use
Yeah, I can't say I was all that impressed with the Chin hire... but hopefully he can recruit.
Better be national because he has no ties to Chicago right now. He pissed off the Meanstreets years ago, and apparently had a blow up argument with Mac Irvin right before he left us.
He'll definitely be used for national. It's just the way we recruit. Not shit talking, but we're not reliant on one area. I guess Calipari or Antigua would handle Illinois recruits if it's as bad as you say with Chin.
Barbee sucks. Everyone knows that.
I doubt Kentucky gets a recruit from Illinois out of 2022 or 2023. But you guys won’t need to. 2022 looks to be Cal’s best recruiting class since Fox, Monk, and Adebayo’s class.
I keep hearing Michigan is big in the mix as well. Don't forget corporate dollars can bring in more than the G league now lol. Cockburn would be good to have. Duren is more versatile.
I agree with your earlier statement, this season is gonna be fun again! Cal seems to have given the green light to shooters. We seem to have more interchangeable pieces, especially at the wings. I can't wait!
He may be the worst human being I’ve ever met….
I’d piss on Harvey Updyke if he was on fire over Barbee…
man… i knew barbee was a shit hire when we got him. Cal just looking out for his buddies. Justus was just a collossal reach.
I hope the illinois fans are wrong about Chin. our moderators on HoB swear hes connected though. i think we’ve already gotten a couple of visits from high rated recruits he was tied to.
I’ve heard he burned down his bridges with the Mac Irvin Fire. Taylor to Kentucky isn’t completely out of the realm of possibility, but if I had to guess it’s Pro or if he goes to college, Illinois.
Omaha Biliew and Kwame Evans will probably be your biggest 3/4 options in 2023.
Underwood trying to bring in Obanor?
He should be on that.
This off-season was weird. I thought Underwood signed an extension but someone connected him to the Texas job. Then I guess there were some talk with OU.
They should have some guards. Obanor gives you more than Kofi ever would.

That was before he trimmed it down lol. Well you know how recruiting goes. Looks like memphis might have an edge. Kofi come on down.
Is this a meaningful decision @ExitFlagger, @toonces11 ? Hadn’t really been following last season too closely since it was a shitshow.
Most expected him back, but it’s definitely an important decision.
No.
All the smoke was with Texas.
We will see with Alabama
Most likely end up with either one. I don’t know what happened between Carr/Bama prior to him taking his name out of the draft
Like I said there has been talk about him and Texas for a month
If it’s not the NBA, it’s Kentucky. Stop trying to act like you have inside info.
So Carr was talking to another school not Minnesota, Bama, while being in the draft? Hmmmm..
Oates is about as gay as Drew at Baylor…
He was already in the transfer portal…
Been in there since April I believe. Awhile.
Carr knows what the NBA people said. They weren’t convinced that his game translates to the NBA
Lou Williams is an exception. Not too many volume shooters being role players in the NBA.
On Carr to find the correct spot
He was in the draft but now withdrew his name.
I was just wondering if Oates was pulling a Drew and tampering like he always does.
There’s a reason Drew got Davion Mitchell, and nothing was on board. He’s a POS.
He was already in the transfer portal
Look at the Alabama team. You see a few from Toronto
Reason why Bama has a chance.
WTF have Canadians ever won beside Jesse Palmer banging a few broads on the bachelor??
Regardless, Drew is a piece of shit and Oates is on his way.
Shockingly, Louisville made Marcus Carr’s list. Texas, UK, Louisville, and Kansas.
According to our home board at least, bama wasnt listed so im not sold on the source.
It actually makes alot of sense, basketball wise as we dont really have a true pg (which i realize carr isnt either but hes more of one than what we have on the roster). While texas still has ramey iirc and uk has mintz and tyty, and Kansas has the kid from last year, harris maybe, who showed good potential, but not too sure what else they have at PG.
We have El Ellis the #1 juco who is more of a combo, then west from marshall and locke from florida who are both SGs but one will have to be the backup pg i assume. I guess in todays game, most pgs are combos. Not that many pass first, “true point guards” anymore imo.
Anyways, id love to see carr in red and black but i realize its super doubtful. Is little ricky still minns coach? Doubt hed be looking to do us any favors after cannong his dad, deserved or not. Carr will prob do what his fave nba players do and join one of the super teams they are building in austin and lex.
