August 12, 20188 yr They looked good in these 4 games but was the competition level a good measuring stick? They pretty much had their way throughout the games. I’m sure going up against high level college opponents will be much different. Gametime, would you give us your thoughts on what you’ve seen so far? I know you’ve been there and done that when it comes to evaluating talent and potential. You’ve been spot on with your evaluations of UK’s teams in previous seasons imo.
August 12, 20188 yr Author I am interested in seeing how things go when foul trouble comes in to play in the regular season. It looks like we have the pieces this year to go to the final four and win a title but it will be interesting.

I mean, he was subbing without any drop off. And this was without 6’11 Montgomery and Baker not playing.
August 13, 20188 yr Author I didn't mean the whole team I mostly just meant when some of our shooters get in foul trouble. I know one thing if Travis and Washington can continue to hit the outside shot that will help even better. I know that the team overall will be hard to get in foul trouble, but I'm sure at times there will be 4 and 5 fouls on some players(shooters like herro,johnson, green and so on) which is what I meant by foul trouble. I can't wait for the Duke game. Edited August 13, 20188 yr by GOREDDEVILS

I’m in the middle of covering football camp at UC so I didn’t catch but a few minutes here and there. Biggest thing is the team is MUCH better constructed than a year ago as I said the other night. Guys in different spots with varying skill sets that can play multiple styles is very much a good thing...

August 13, 20188 yr Why didn’t Montgomery and Baker play? Montgomery had back spasms and Baker has a knee issue I believe.
August 13, 20188 yr Montgomery had back spasms and Baker has a knee issue I believe. It'll be nice to finally see what Baker can bring to the table.
August 13, 20188 yr I saw limited minutes of the four games but I really enjoyed watching them move the ball. I didn't see much one on one individuality. That is a positive, love the size and depth.
August 13, 20188 yr It'll be nice to finally see what Baker can bring to the table. I hope he gets healthy, but at this point I’m not really counting on anything from him.
August 13, 20188 yr I hope he gets healthy, but at this point I’m not really counting on anything from him. We're are in the same boat. In October of '17 he had a "minor knee surgery". Ten months later and he's still not in uniform. I hope he can contribute but this seems like a chronic issue to me.
