Correct. I'm with the 95% (and that is probably low) that does not keep up with Farleigh Dickinson.

I am with you. I did recognize Kriisa but that's only because he is a 30 year old 12 year NCAA veteran.

It seems UK's roster is nearing completion. Are we able to identify any starters at this point?

No.

And that's not a knock either.  I haven't heard of a single player other than Perry & Noah.

Ha same. Only time I have heard of most of these players were when their names were first introduced as guys UK we’re interested in and then I read up about them. Other than that I didn’t know much about any of them except for like 3 players.

Honestly to hard to really predict since not really knowing what Pope likes in his starters. His first few guys he brought in were known more for their defense, and then now also brought in a lot of good shooters. We know his offense is fast paced with a lot of three point shots. So does he start the game with more of his shooters, or like a mix n match with a few defensive guys with shooters. Just to hard to really predict, since no real true like stud where you know they would start. The only one I feel pretty confident in saying he will start is Williams at center. Other than that it’s a pure guess. However, if I had to guess I would go with.

Current Kentucky Basketball coach Mark Pope and former Kentucky coach John Calipari talking while recruiting at Nike EYBL in Indianapolis this weekend.

 

Amari Williams withdraws from NBA draft and confirms Ky bound.  Go Cats!

Jaxson Robinson pulled his name from NBA yesterday and has committed to the Cats.

I believe that leaves 2 possible roster spots available, but even without additional players I think Pope likes where he's at roster wise.

>>Correction<<

There is one scholarship position left now, not two.

I was thinking there were two spots available prior to Robinson joining the team but I'm not 100% on that. 

He’s a Cat!! Let’s gooooooo!!

That's a big addition. Pope has assembled the talent to compete. Looking forward to seeing how he puts it all together.

It will be exciting to see where this team goes after they get a few games under their belt. I think they have the potential to do some good things. Part of the excitement, as others have mentioned, is Pope's system. It's a style of ball that I think the UK fans will love.
