I dont know how anybody thinks this is a better team than that one.

Lol. We should just cancel the season.

I remember the year after sk left, everyone thought we’d be trash and yet, we’re pretty good and gave UK fans the puckered butthole they deserve

I mean we didn’t think Evans was going to leave early when the roster was constructed. And yet even then I think we can still beat Xavier, UCLA and OSU on our home floor.

And miss state is one we can win

Id say Caupain is better than Cane and Jennifer yes but Cane can easily average 13 pts. a game like Caupain did his JR. year. Still all around player I guess would go to Caupain

Id put Cumberland at the 2 and is way better than Cobb/KJ. Not even a question.

KW and Fredericks can easily match a Shaq and a freshman JEIII

Tre Scott isn't too far behind a sophomore Gary Clark. Time will tell but I mean Tre is now a Red Shirt JR who is finally getting a shot.

Nysier and Ellie are lower than Deberry and Ellis but that's not saying much IMO. Add in Mamoudou and who knows what can happen.

We are deeper and faster this year that's for sure. I havent even talked about shooting potential from Trevor and the positives we have already heard regarding Logan Johnson.

I mean yeah, pg position alone could be the reason you pick the 2015-2016 season but my point is, I don't think it's far behind if any behind that year and they still had a decent season just some heartbreaking losses. It's simple, we aren't as good as the past two years but this team will be able to compete, we have a favorable schedule, and it's still going to be a Cronin tough minded team with a real scoring product in Jarron Cumberland.

bruh i can't even

[cincrulz11]

I am intrigued by our potential if we get a lot of minutes out of a lineup of

Broome
Moore/Williams
Cumberland
Fredericks
Scott


but i give that little to no chance of happening.

Let's not act like 10 PPG and 9 RBG is impossible.

I know Gary will even tell you that Tre is very capable of filling his shoes this year. Especially compared to a sophomore version of himself. I mean trust me, I'd chose to have Gary back if I could but it is what it is.

My point again, We aren't far off if any from 2015-2016 and I'll will easily take bets for the same if not better record than 2015-2016 season.

you need to put some respect on gary's name. he was dominant even as a sophomore. Scott will be good if he ever gets to Gary's freshman numbers.

Dude.

The Tre I've seen in highlights so far in 2 games shows that he has more range and more moves driving to the basket than Octavious Ellis ever had.

Add in that he is a much smarter player and it equals me having more confidence that By end of the season, we would all take Trevon Scott over Octavious Ellis.

Offensively, Jarron Cumberland would be the best scorer on the Caupain JR year team.

Cane had a higher Offensive rating than JR Caupain did.


Also if you look at Tre Scott's improvements from Fresh to Soph, there is reason to believe that he continues an upward trend.

I love Gary and he's an all time great.


But Tre's soph year was very much in line with Gary's Fr year:

Offensive rating:
Gary: 114.9
Tre: 115.7

eFG%:
G:52.4%
T:55.4%

OFF REB RATE:
G: 13.3%
T: 12.9%

Def REB Rate:
G: 18.9
T: 19.2

Assit Rate:
G: 13.9
T: 12.6



So Tre's Soph Year in terms of rating is very much in line with Gary's Freshman year. If he continues that trend its a good sign
