Belo actually looked really good in games tho as a freshman, National guys were calling him a potential all american that wasn’t just practice reports

He had some good runs in some key games. Was a work in progress for sure.

We will see how Ty and DGL and Harmon do at PG do in Spain.
Hope it works out. All we can do and it will still be better than last year's shtshow.

Don't know who we're playing, but the Spanish u19 team is no joke. Blew out a very good French team yesterday, and I believe will give US team all they can handle if they meet up.

It’s either that or somebody at the WSJ saw the “whey cool” pun somewhere and had to come up with an excuse to work it into an article.

PG or no PG, I for one believe that Ty can do the job. The rhetoric on this board is ridiculous. Let things play out and see where we sit once season starts. Nobody on here is in the gym with these guys everyday. Certain people have connections and try to pass along information and when it’s not 100% correct, they are treated like they know nothing. I also believe that players know about these boards and look at them. This is why the reputation as hated fans has come about.

Not so much the Hutcherson one for me. He appeared to be pretty good just couldn't stay healthy. The one that sticks out to me is the time we were going to be one of the fastest scoring teams in college. Brad said we were going to push the ball and be scoring at a high rate because of what we were doing in practice. What was probably really going on was lacking defense. When we got into the season we ended slowing it down and walking the ball up on occasion because we had no fast break capabilities.

The mark of an excellent coach is being able to recognize when your ill-conceived plan is totally failing and switch it, midseason. Only the very best coaches can do that.

BU is in the gym with them and he was going after Ray J. Then he hurries to add Williams that same day after missing and for various reasons that fell apart. After thoses misses the rhetoric changed. Ty then may be serviceable but he is not and was not BUs first choice. I don't think it is hating anything to state what clearly happenned. I think Ty is an option as is DGL but I hope we add someone else if we can find a solid PG. They are clearly looking if they contacted Joe T. Its not hating if thats what is going on. Depth is a good thing.

From this source, Kentucky “wins” most hated hands down with four rivals. Looks like Michigan, Iowa, Missouri, and Indiana tie at two rivals, and Illinois only has a rivalry with Iowa and within its own fan base. So not proving Illinois is one of the most hated, right?

But, it does show that our fanbase gets heated from within these walls. We are the only ones that are hi-lighted as our own rival.

Agreed that the others may have been a better option, but saying that the coach needs fired or that this season is already doomed is a severe overreaction.

I'm just don't understand how we went from all in on a point gaurd RJD, offering him a sweet deal with the keys to the Lamborghini who ended up just stringing us along and going elsewhere. Then we get Williams as a potential backup plan which falls thru to now we are good with what we got. Are we really not going to go after a veteran point gaurd? Doesn't make any sense to me but it's not my decisionto make. I just hope it works out for us this time around.

I think they will still see what they can get, but having Ty run the point is the current plan and I believe he can do it. He is the hardest working kid on the team from what I have seen and heard, and no better guy to do the job at hand. It would be different if he had never run point before, he has.
