No thanks. šMaybe Kentucky can take him and send Aberdeen back to us? Aberdeen was going to be that one guy that stayed with the program lmao. Maybe the last of his kind.
UK fans. How much you spending on NIL....

He literally punched CBM in the game played in tuscaloosa. Go watch it again
Thereās no way Kentucky is going to pay $3 million for Lowe?This seems a little under for some players.
Just pay them 2 million with stat bonuses.

Can't believe any of those guys are getting that kinda dough, but that's where we're at, and Kentucky has a big enough war chest to overpay.
large warchest and desperation over being caught in the SEC yes
not at all. Auburn isnt overpaying for players like kentucky is
Kentucky is going to take a huge step forward this year, when Pope has had more than a month and a half to construct a roster. Top 5 if/when Oweh announces his return
Sounds like money well spent so far
The fact that he had to throw a roster together at the last minute doesn't mean it was a bad roster. It was pretty talented, with a ton of experience.
Next year's team probably has a higher ceiling but I'm not sure they have a higher floor. The most talented guy's coming off an ACL tear and they're green at a few important spots. Also, Lowe doesn't seem very efficient. Maybe he'll be more efficient with less usage in Pope's system, but who knows.
It wasnāt a bad roster by any means. It just wasnāt complete. Tons of experience in shooting but very lacking in defense, depth, and if we are just being honest.. toughness. This next group should be much more physical and hard nosed. It will be a different look but I am expecting better results and a different style of play.
The Lowe point has been a big talking point with UK fans and the general consensus, or at least hope, is that he will have much better numbers due to the help and system he has. I also think he was dinged up on his shooting hand.
You skipped the most glaring weakness, athleticism. 2025-26 will be far more athletic than this past year. That was the biggest reason they were pure ass defensively for most of the year. They also didn't have anyone that could create their own shots or get downhill in the half court. Oweh was the only real athlete on the roster.
Facts. Kinda leaned into that with my physicality comment but without a doubt we will have better athletes on the floor.
Youāre like stepping in dog shit, you can wipe your shoes off in the grass but the smell still lingers.
Nah, I would just wipe them off on the welcome mat at your girl's house, BLOCKHEAD. She gets lonely with you spending so much time in kids' bouncy houses.
kentucky fans getting awful confident in this thread. Reminds me of the Nerlens Noel team that came in with some much hype that got stroked in the NIT
You gonna be an Indiana or Auburn fan this year?
Are you going to keep trying to say Auburn is a fluke program thats a one hit wonder or are you going to realize that we have a better coach than you?
I never said Auburn was a fluke. You must be thinking of someone else. However, they will be dogshit again once Bruce is gone. We both know that.
in the nil era I doubt we are ever complete dogshit again. Only around 16-20'schools or so schools can and will spend. No SEC school really has excuse to be dogshit routinelt. This isnt your fathers SEC basketball. 14 teams in the tourney shows that
Only 16-20 schools nationally can spend, but no SEC school has an excuse to not be good?
Itās off season, thatās what Kentucky fans do. I get that the SEC in general wonāt be as good next season, but they are not really improving in many (if any) positrons over last season.
In what way are UK fans getting awful confident in this thread, by saying this year's roster is exponentially more complete then last year's?
You act like UK fans are guaranteeing a FF or something.
Second, in what way does this team remind you of 2013? That team was led by freshmen (and Noel tore his ACL midway through the season). Next year's UK team will be led by upperclassmen. I don't see the comparison at all.
I think there are around 20 schools willing to spend top dollars. all SEC have schools have the ability to spend was my point. Schools like uga, lsu, etc. have the funds but they arent willing to spend it. They have the money though. Lsu spent more for kim mulkey last yesr than they did for matt mcmahon
This guy would know, especially since his team is as stacked as anyone right now.
Not buying this. Source?This seems a little under for some players.
Just pay them 2 million with stat bonuses.

It came from David Sisk at Cats Illustrated. But again, it is all pure speculation. People have no clue, they are just throwing numbers out there with no confirmation.
