It'd be better if you dropped some good news.

So with your logic of “practice equals playing time...”.
If he brings more to the team or is less of a liability out there in games in regards to execution and positioning, why isn’t he getting more consistent minutes? It’s because knowing where to be, knowing what to do and then physically being able to do it in a way in which it positively impacts the game are very different things. The potential playmaking ability of AG and TJ is exponentially higher than TU.
We don’t know what goes on in practice. You are correct. But the side of the discussion opposite your view is more than “garbage”. BU has been coaching for a while. I trust he has forgotten more than any of us will ever know about basketball. The main point some of us are trying to make is it is bad optics for a program that has struggled to attract high level recruits and had a mass exodus of players last year. Say what you will, it is easy ammo for opposing coaches out on the recruiting trail. Recruits don’t see what happens in practice either. They just see a coaches walk-on son playing minutes, significant or not, in meaningful parts of games over 3/4 star recruits and when he is out there he looks like an average D3 player trying not to make mistakes.
I have faith that you can handle it.....That is a lot of pressure....

Yall know the staff is after 2 KW's this class right?Another way of saying W will sign with us? A hidden statement within a question?
Yall know the staff is after 2 KW's this class right?
If we get both, or eitherYall know the staff is after 2 KW's this class right?
One isn't currently a 2019 recruit but that could change.Wait, wait, didn't one of them sign with Kentucky.
I don't believe we have seen enough of Tevian Jones to term him a tweener. What little I have seen of him makes me think he could definitely be a three. Griffin has rebounded very well for the most part, but again, both are mid-level rated guys who are freshman and they don't get a lot of minutes, so there really isn't much to take away from what is seen on the court at this time.I think Kaden Archie is coming. I have no proof of this other than I think Saturday’s initial report was correct.
That being said, how does he really fit? He seems to be similar to Mark Smith in that he doesn’t have the speed, shooting, or ball skills to play the 3 at a high level. Yet he is too small to play the 4 effectively. This is why his playing time has been limited at TCU and he wants to transfer.
In other words, he reminds me of Kipper, Tevian Jones, and Anthony Higgs. Three guys who seem to be tweeters between the 3 and 4 spot. (I could be wrong about Higgs as I haven’t seen him play.). We also have Alan Griffith who is 6’ 5” and hasn’t done much at the 3 spot.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ll be thrilled if he chooses the Illini. Archie is a talent and he could become a great player with this team. But it’s going to take time. And right now we have several unproven players at the 3-4 spot. As Archie seems to want immediate playing time, how does he fit???
If we get both, or either
I will be blown away. (fingers crossed) I'm very thirsty.
Help a brother out. Who is the other KW?
Did you see Whitney's last interview? From his own words, it sounded like he was 100% committed to UK. Caroline isn't coming either. lol
How do you know this little nugget? Gut, guessing, or inside info?
No.. Caroline Kennedy.Does this mean Jordan Caroline?
But I'll have to admit that Archie's not doing much for me. Top 100s transferring out in their freshman year for lack of time. Can someone give me some good examples of how this has really played out well?
Charles Matthews?
No.. Caroline Kennedy.
KB was more like Rice. High level of success at mid major and moving up. Norman was Junior College.closer to home - How about Kenny Battle & Ken Norman? Maybe we should be looking for transfers named Ken?
