Ya the baby can stay home with mommy and daddy for another year. What an idiot. Seriously? We could have definitely used him next season, but what Cal says about UK not being for everyone is true. Better that he realizes this now than come here and be miserable for a year and transfer. |

Id much rather have a 2nd year EJ back and a 3rd year Nick back than an immature and not college ready Jaden Mcdaniels lol.

Neither Richards or EJ seem to have the scoring ability of McDaniels

UK has to close better. Seems like this is the umpteen dude that was flipped last minute. Either our staff is overly-positive or the other schools have some great bag men. I'm in no way saying our staff doesn't know how to recruit. Obv Cal is among the best. But, seems like we repeatedly seem to fail to close. Kid loves UK but X Y Z reason he didn't come. Kids either commit to us early/quickly with little drama or these drawn out recruitments where we always lose in the end.
Regardless, what is key is getting EJ and Nick back. McDaniels is a great talent, but wasn't going to move the needle. UK will be fine.

McDaniels is a great talent, but wasn't going to move the needle. UK will be fine. It's just difficult to battle this much geography successfully. I haven't done any real research but the last left-coaster I can remember that stuck with, and was a significant factor for, UK was Chuck Hayes and that's been in the rear view mirror for awhile. I agree completely that IF E.J. RETURNS then McDaniels added little more than depth at the position. E.J. has great potential as a "scorer", that just wasn't his role last year. |

Reminds me of when we lost (or nearly lost) Terrence Jones to Washington. The lure of playing for the Huskies must be strong for west coast kids. Good luck to McDaniels....wish him all the best.

How do you know how Mcdaniels is going to score in college? Many experts really cooled on him towards the end of the year. He looked horrible in the all star games. PJ washington scored way more in year 2 then year 1. Id take a sophomore over a freshman any day of the week.

hope you are correct............
EJ had numerous open shots last year that were just "bricks". he missed numerous open shots in the paint
Richards has a terrible catching passes as well as finishing, especially in traffic
IMO shooting is something God given........you either can or can't

He thinks he is a shooter and he isnt. He needs to work on his post game and stay down on the block. |
