Uros and one of the new guards could be in the mix as well

 

[joevols89]

I wouldn’t expect Awaka or Jefferson to play anything more than cleanup minutes. BJ too if we land Hunter.

I predict Aidoo passes Nkamhoua

Aidoo will have to be that much better for Barnes to play him over a senior

 

[ReggieJohnsonFan]

Aidoo will have to be that much better for Barnes to play him over a senior

Both guys will get plenty of PT.

Assuming Santi stays is this current look at the roster?
PG - Zakai/?
SG - Santi/Key/BJ
SF - JJJ/Phillips/Maishak
PF - Nkaumua/Awaka
C -Uros/Aidoo

BJ is a PG. If we don’t land Hunter, he’s the backup PG to ZZ.

BJ is a PG. If we don’t land Hunter, he’s the backup PG to ZZ.

He will be a better 2 guard imo. He’d be the backup PG out of necessity.

 

[InVOLuntary]

So it's most likely Hunter or bust for this year it sounds like. What about the 2023 class? I think I recall a recruit formerly committed to KY? Haven't been able to keep up as much as normal this year. Thanks in advance.

Illinois for Clark.

Honestly if they just take all the minutes at C I'll be happy. Uros maybe gets some spot minutes, but we're going to be really deep at the wings so I'm fine with playing a little smaller most of the year.

If we don’t get Hunter, then Vescovi is the more likely backup at pg IMHO

 

[InVOLuntary]

Illinois for Clark.

Is Clark the KY decommit?

 

[joevols89]

Is Clark the KY decommit?

Yes. It was moreso UK telling him to look elsewhere.

 

[joevols89]

Probably.

Then BJ isn’t what he’s supposed to be. We don’t need SV playing point.

 

[joevols89]

Not sure what you mean. He's definitely more of a combo guard that should be able to play both but I agree. That's why the whole Collins situation was so big imo. They kinda got caught with their pants down after that went south.

 

[vol94]

I’m surprised we haven’t landed an elite point guard through the portal, esp w the success Chandler had.

 

[walkenvol]

Then BJ isn’t what he’s supposed to be. We don’t need SV playing point.

You mean BJ isn’t a 4 star freshman recruit?

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

BJ was a top 20 pg in the country. He dribbles well, plays low and has good distribution skills. While he might play anywhere on the perimeter eventually, but it’ll be hard to not use him at the point early and often.

 

[CAVPUT]

Is Clark the KY decommit?

Yep. Skyy Clark. Seem to recall someone raising concerns about his attitude and fit in our locker room. Can't remember the poster/source, but if there's a chance that a PG pulls out of the draft, it might be something we could take advantage of if Hunter doesn't pan out. Plus, there's still the foreign route. In short, it ain't over til it's over.

He is coming off an injury so there’s concerns there. Not sure about an attitude issue.

 

[Col_Cathcart]

If ZZ/BJ playing point is the weakest part of our rotation we have a chance to be pretty good imo

 

[NighthawkVol]

That’s exactly what he is…which is why he should be the next PG after ZZ.

4 star recruit doesn’t automatically mean he’s gonna be factor next year.
