January 27, 20215 yr Askew in this game. 24 minutes. 0-2 from the field, 2 assists, and 1 rebound. I guess his presence allows Mintz to play more off the ball, but damn he brings so little to the table beyond that some games.

About the only thing he did well last night was be in a good help defensive position, which altered a few shots. And he picked up fouls not giving up free baskets. Between Hagans and Askew, I am not w big fan of reclassified freshman PGs.

Not really concerned about those other guys, just stating facts about the current condition of Ky basketball.

When Mintz is out there alone, they are more stagnant. So I kind of get the rationale of trying to force Askew into the lead role, but he just doesn't have it. And I am not sure when Clark returns if it'll be enough reps to take the full reigns.

But knowing what the records would be of those other guys helps to provide context of the current condition of UK basketball. And probably doesnt make it as grim as you want it to portray. They suck this year, we all know it. Numbers without context don't mean a whole lot. And I am genuine in asking how does that compare. First glance, I don't like that stat but with context, it might actually still be pretty good.

Looks good on paper, but you still have to factor in other aspects of your roster. UK is playing mostly untested players with no returning experienced players and it sticks out like a sore thumb. This team is just not ready to compete with the better teams, and may never be. It will be interesting to see how many of them depart after this year.

I pay little attention to recruiting rankings now. With what you describe on top of (grad) transfers, reclassificaiton, and more kids opting out of college, I am not sure what they really mean. And again, UK's ranking was high because of sheer numbers in the class, not necessarily top-shelf quality.
January 27, 20215 yr Rankings of UK's recruits from 247 sports: 5 Boston 8 Clarke 30 Jackson 32 Askew 39 Ware It wasn't just numbers. These guys were considered in the top 50 in the nation.
