Well mark me impressed in that case. Didn't Davis set the NCAA season record with something like 6 games left in the regular season?

He set the freshmen record sometime during the post-season if i remember correctly. David Robinson has the NCAA record (in the first year they kept the stats for blocks).

I doubt Noel is a better shot blocker...just a rumor i heard.

I never realized how many Varnado blocked until I went back and looked at the stats and game video. Dude was a beast.

Yeah, he was awesome. And another that got away from the midstate area from us. Career blocked shots leader in SEC.

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

4 or 5 losses sounds about right IMO.

I don't expect anybody to run away with the SEC this year.

He said they may lose to Florida at Rupp. Who else in the SEC do you see getting them there?

I mean anyone, all it takes it one bad night.

It could be Florida, Tennessee or anyone.

Maybe I'm being a hater, but as it sits I think this is Cals worst team at UK, by far.

Well, to say "it only takes one bad night," is a pretty vague statement, one that could have been made before any game over the last three seasons. We all know upsets happen all the time, and sure, its only a matter of time before they lose at home. Honestly, it could happen next year before SEC play. UK plays a pretty solid OOC schedule and they catch Indiana in Rupp next year I believe.

To say Cal's team next year is the "worst" by far is equal to saying that 10 karat gold is the "worst" gold. It's still gold. We all know they will eventually lose at home, but on paper, I just don't see an overwhelming team in the SEC that UK should fear aside from Florida.

I never said or insinuated that Kentucky will be bad, or is bad gold. I'm fully aware that his worst team is still a good team.

As I said, call me a hater if you'd like, but I think they're 10-15 ranked team next year. I just don't see it being there.

Florida? I don't see them being that good with Beal leaving. I like UT or Mizzou better

If you wanna call saying miller didn't play 4 a valid explanation then ok.

As I said biggest issues right now, no depth, no experience, and a starting 5 of a transfer PG and 4 frosh. Find another Cal team like that.

If he has major success with this group it'll be more impressive than what he did this year IMO.

Yeah, Florida. They return Young, Boynton, Murphy, Rosario, Yeguette, and replace Beal with Braxton Ogbueze and Michael Frazier. Neither is as good as Beal, but together cam soften the blow at the SG spot. Rosario is a better "point" guard than Walker, provided he can stay healthy.

The only reason I didn't include Missouri is because I'm not sure whether or not they will play UK at Rupp. Should they though, they are another team that could challenge UK for the conference and potentially defeat UK at Rupp. UT has too many holes, particularly at the guard spots for me to blindly predict them to challenge even Cal's most unproven team for the conference or a win at Rupp. Until we find someone that can create their own shot and take the ball to the hole from the perimeter, we will be impossible to predict.

Well in that case, I'd say calling them his "worst" team was poor wording.
