Super Bowl...."Pitino Lite".... rings pretty hollow with that 1-7 record that RP has put together against him the past 6 years.
Did you type this with a straight face? You're comparing current student athletes and graduate transfers to a guy with a "foundation account" setup by his handler - that much is not disputable. I hardly see that as apples to apples. Skal will likely be elligible, because Sandy Bell has never ran into a compliance issue that she couldn't handle, aside from Enes Kanter who had his name on checks written from a professional basketball team. And even then, Sandy still almost got Kanter eligible. Very impressive on her part. She deserves a statue on UK's campus.We can say Skal will be the go-to scorer in the frontcourt for UK, because he's going to be on the roster. If we're going to be technical, since no player is guaranteed a scholarship for more than one season, both teams have 0 players on the roster as of today.
Well I would say my feelings are hurt, but they're not.
Anyway, back to the game. Anybody actually want to discuss it?
And Damion Lee abused D1 competition for 3 years at Drexel. I don't see anyone crowning him yet at UofL, because he's never played a game for UofL, much like Skal has never played a game for UK."Tall and skilled" = Skal Labissierre. Abused Thon Maker repeatedly at the Nike Hoops Summit. Scores in a variety of ways. Another shot blocker in a UK uniform. Poythress has shown inside/outside ability in the past as well. He's been living in the gym to come back strong from his ACL injury. This is also a great opportunity for Willis this year. An athletic guy that needs to show defensive improvement, but at 6'9, can hit shots from deep.
Poythress is 22-73 from 3-point range for his career, which works out to 30.1%....Poythress has shown inside/outside ability in the past as well...
You speculate Skal into the 2nd coming of Anthony Davis but act like Damion Lee is an average player. If you're speculating, I'd say 3 years against D1 comp is more valuable than a high school all star game.Well it is May... early speculation is really all we can offer up at this point.
Top 5 scorer in the NCAA vs. super hype recruitSkal....the #1 ranked center in the 2015 class. Damion Lee....? Never heard of him until it became news that he transferred to uofl.
*** Take another week off JC for 3. You can't disprespect our players or posters here.
Once again, a uk fan counting Skal as part of the rotation and overlooking the DEEEEEEEP rooted and festering wart he has for a handler. I'll say it in yet another thread I guess. If that kid is eligible to play college ball, Cal scraped a few dead bodies under his rug to make that happen. He has to step pretty high to get over the hump in his office.

There is simply no basis on which to agree or disagree with your prediction. Way too far off and way too many questions to be answered...on both sides.

snikker I got names for Pitino but they are not for public consumption.if you get my drift..Wow....the uphill sledding continues. "Pitino Lite".... rings pretty hollow with that 1-7 record that RP has put together against him the past 6 years.

He just graduated high school over the weekend and Sandy Bell has said she sees nothing in the way of his eligibility. If anything should erase any doubts you have about him being eligible, it's the word of Sandy Bell.
Top 5 recruit vs. Top 5 scorer in the NCAA. See my point here? You can have your expectations for Skal, but you'd have to be hiding under a rock to dismiss one of the best proven scorers in the country.And?
Kentucky has a record of FR coming in and being able to play right away. At times even abusing D1 competition. So why would UK fans not have high expectations for Skal? Mulder, now that is somebody UK fans need to take a wait and see approach on.
Of course there's a difference, but does that mean he should be dismissed as an impact player?There's a pretty big difference in being a Top 5 scorer on a legit (Top 25) team vs. being a Top 5 scorer from an under .500 team where the kid can jack up shots at will.
Yes, I'd say being a top 5 scorer out of 4,200 scholarship athletes is "nice experience"I'm not sure anyone is 'dismissing' Damion Lee here either...he has experience, which is something RP likes, so he'll probably get more of a green light to shoot than the other newcomers.
Skal....the #1 ranked center in the 2015 class. Damion Lee....?
Why would it matter what he was ranked out of high school? The man scored 35% of his team's points and did it efficiently.My comparison with Skal was based on them coming out of high school. I don't remember how Lee was rated as a high school senior....Not too many Top 25 recruits pick a school like Drexel.
You talking about this guy?!?My comparison with Skal was based on them coming out of high school. I don't remember how Lee was rated as a high school senior....Not too many Top 25 recruits pick a school like Drexel.
