Good point. You know they would love to pair him with Lebron.
As an assistant

I actually think Cal was too much of an X and O guy before and during his time in the NBA. He became much more of a managed egos and player coach in his return to College Hoops. My guess is he learned a lot from his time in the league. And let's be real, coaching a Lakers led Lebron team is much better than the nets job of the late 90s .Cal isn’t a terrible X and O guy but what’s he really good at? Managing egos.....and he just happened to recruit and coach AD.
Last night was an example of us having three PG's and we used a walk on for a few minutes because of foul problems and an injury. With a real possibility of losing Ayo as well as Dre after next season I still would like to see a PG in 19. Losing those two for 52 mins a game is major. Even if we get Miller we need a third and having one in each class is nice balance. We got killed in the JG years without one and much more critical in BU system which depends on ball pressure.With Giorgi and Kofi our primary with January and Samba as backup barring any additional bigs (more the merrier), and if Kipper is back who knows, I still think with our offense sets, we would be just fine next year.
If Giorgi keeps advancing no reason he won't, and Kofi starts getting in serious shape, they will eat up the mass minutes inside with January probably spelling both and Samba getting a few as well. Kane stays, Higgs is redshirt, medical and probably a transfer, Nichols I think stays to avoid another move if nothing else and takes over for the intangibles like AJ this year. With our guards, we are good.
Ayo, Frazier, Feliz,
Williams, Jones, Griffin, ??? (player to be named soon)
Nichols, Giorgi, Kofi, Kane, January inside/out types.
meWho can I pay to start a separate strength and conditioning thread to keep it out of the recruiting thread? Mother of god, people.
Best options to fill out the 2019 class? I'm thinking Patterson (assuming re-class), then Brown, then Whitney in a distant third due to his current commitment to UK.
Damari Monsanto Final 2 of Illinois and East Tennessee State.
He is taking an OV to ETSU March 1st-3rd.
He's still committed to UK and planning to sign in a couple months. Other than that, it's all speculation about what could/will happen if certain dominoes fall into place regarding Calimari, current players on UK's roster, and other wings that UK is still actively recruiting.Any more word on what's going on with Whitney?
I'm guessing it's one of those fall-back offers that we've given him verbally if we don't land any higher priority targets. The "reverse silent verbal," if you will.Have we even offered him?

“He’s playing in one of the best conferences in America. I have tremendous respect for Coach Underwood and how he holds his guys accountable,” Adrian Griffin said. “I respect coaching so much, and I see what he’s doing for these young men. Turning boys into men is not easy. Nowadays, with social media and everything else and all the distractions, there’s a lot of voices out there. But you can’t skip the steps. And I see improvement from Game 1 to where (Alan) is now.”Apologies if posted earlier:

The other side of the coin.

Preach!we are on the right path
Uh oh. Going mainstream.Underwood was in Charlotte watching Brown and Kofi during some tournament tied into the NBA All Star weekend. It's being held at Johnson C. Smith College. Brown cut his dreadlocks, hardly recognized him.
What?! His hair was one of the main reasons I wanted him. #moveonUnderwood was in Charlotte watching Brown and Kofi during some tournament tied into the NBA All Star weekend. It's being held at Johnson C. Smith College. Brown cut his dreadlocks, hardly recognized him.
Yup, but not as tight as with Nimari.
