Who is better Noel or Davis? And who all declared for the cats?

Davis is the better overall player. I've heard reports that Noel is a better defensive player, though, just raw on the offensive end and without the guard skills that Davis has.

Also, everyone and their mother has declared for the Cats, if I remember correctly. Only returner with any game experience will be Wiltjer aka "Blaster from Mad max: Beyond Thunderdome".

Looking at the Mock Draft, Davis, MKG, Lamb, Jones, Teague are all 1st round picks. Miller going second round.

Ryan I believe is his first name. PG transfer from NC State. Had to sit out last season due to transfer rules, but comes eligible this season for UK. Maybe has to wait until the end of the Fall semester, can't remember. He's a baller though.

Ryan Harrow, a stud PG that goes right in line with Cals recent PGs.

He was a 5* top 20 player coming out of high school 2 years ago. Went to NC State and when The coach was canned he transferred to UK. Because of transfer rules had to sit out last year, but will be eligible this year. Many mock drafts, I know it's early, have him going next year as a 1st rounder.

I actually looked this up last night, and why I feel UKs actually beatable next year. This is their current depth chart:

pg: harrow/ beckham
SG: Goodwin/ Wiltjer
SF: poythress/ hood
PF/C: Noel's/ Cauley


That is a thin team. I get that last years team mainly played 7 but the 6&7 guys were much better than twanny beckham & Jon hood. Obviously this could change as uk is still on the board for some guys, but none of them are guards they're all posts.

Wiltjer at 2? When is the deadline to declare?

Eh possibly 2 or 3.

I don't know, the whole new rule confuses me and aggravates me so I haven't bothered trying to learn it. The NCAA screwed the kids, I think the deadline is very soon, maybe already passed. I'm not sure...

Anyone feel like clarifying?

Saw Ryan Harrow play in high school his whole career and followed him at NC State. To be honest I think people are overrating him

The NBA deadline for entry is April 29th.

But didn't the NCAA create their own deadline to declare as well?

I thought there was some new rule within the last year or two.

I'm going purely on memory here so TIFWIW.

You are correct. The NCAA deadline was created in an attempt to help coaches by forcing players to declare before the spring signing period begins (April 10). The problem is the NBA pretty much said we aren't changing anything. Kids can't workout with teams until sometime in May. The April 10 deadline is relevant only in the situation of an attempt to withdraw from the draft. I may be wrong but it is my understanding that players declaring in the Aprill 11 to 29 timeframe will be locked in, meaning they are committed and cannot reclaim NCAA eligibility even if they refrained from hiring an agent.

Am I the only person who sees KY losing three or four SEC games next year?

One to us in knox, one to florida in Gainsville (though them losing beal makes me reconsider this) and a possible upset from Vandy, Bama, Missou(maybe not an upset with oriakhi there now to solve their big problem) or even a loss at home to us or the Gators

As young as they most probably will be, I think you could be correct and then some. Two years ago they lost 6 conference games. Could easily take time to get them on track.

I'm not necessarily as worried about their youth as I am curious their ability to play together.

I don't think anyone will disagree with me that this years team that Cal had was a one in a lifetime. Four or Five kids who would be the #1 guy on another team playing unselfishly together. I think that's more a personality thing on the kids part than it was a coaching job on Cal's part.

Of course, if it WAS Cal who did it, we will see it this year again most likely and I will gladly eat my words. I just don't see a group as talented/team oriented as this one coming through again in a long time.

Bingo.

Imo, it's not questioning the ability/depth, etc etc. It's definitely depends on how well they play together. AD and Co. did it perfectly, this team won't match it...but hopefully Cal can work his magic (or money...whatever you call it).
