None of the players who have redshirted here were told they were going to prior to arriving. After practice starts and it becomes clear who will play and who won't, you pitch the idea to them. If they accept it, they do it. If they don't accept it they fight for minutes and risk losing a year...

again, he said 5 bigs on the roster. not 5 bigs in his rotation. clear distinction there.

That is not the point. It is not how or why they redshirted - the fact is that each year a player has been held back and preserved a year of eligibility. Its just the fact that you cannot play 13 players. It is difficult for most teams (not all obviously as i am sure someone will try to find...

2014- Morman 2013- Davis III 2012- Thomas and Ellis 2011- Gaines 2010- Kilpatrick More or less, yes, he has done it every year since he has had a bit of depth on the roster/since UC has been a contender to be a tournament team. Also, to whoever said Cronin wants 5 bigs in his rotation on the...

yup. pure conjecture. especially since the first team he listed (IU) is not going to be involved.

i listened to the podcast of his radio show earlier this morning on the way to work and he literally made no mention of signing 3 guys. talked about 2 scholarships, looking for perimeter help, and that their roster breakdown right now is 6 perimeter-5 post. he used to think in the big east he...

when exactly did cronin publicly say a player could have his scholarship pulled? i need to see that quote if so. if said in the wrong context that is a recruiting pr death wish.

dude you listed out the 4 guys UC was recruiting, then said if they take 3 here is who will be "relieved" of his scholarship. Under no circumstances would 3 of those 4 come here together. Substitute whoever you want in for any of those guys mentioned- 3 of them aren't coming here together. It...

Jones would never, ever, ever come to UC if Newbill did - and especially not if Graham and Newbill did.

no one is getting pushed out by Cronin. if they bring in 3 guys it will be because a player transfers out by his own choice.

none of the players UC is going after as a 5th year are point guards. cronin is not looking to bring in a point guard for one year.

he will end up at kentucky. rivals barometers are not always updated nor are they very accurate.

then call in.

Bobbitt was temporarily kicked off the team his first year. Van Exel is not an apt comparison. JUCO 20+ years ago is significantly different than it is now. All non-qualifiers went to JUCO then. Now most all go to prep school in order to only delay their career 1 year and still have 4 years...

Chris Jones was regarded as the best JUCO prospect in the past 10-15 years. Different level of player. Like I said, I didn't say it can't be done, I said it is best case scenario. Expecting best case scenario considering UC's track record with JUCOs in their first year is unreasonable.

Mick has spoken about it on his radio/tv show. It's not inside information. It is happening.

I would slow down dude. There is zero basis to expect double digits from him. We don't even know if he will start/get the majority of minutes at the 2. How do you even know he is better than Kevin Johnson? Johnson likely is a better perimeter defender. Mick gives minutes to guys who defend...

did you guys watch Kilpatrick and Jackson play this year? They are arguably the two most demonstrative players on the floor in recent UC history. Titus was similar as well. Agree that Graham looks to like he plays with an edge, but there was no lack of swagger on this team. Also, I am not...

jeff - any concern about graham's character and mixing with this team? he does not have the best reputation for being coachable/team player dating back to his high school days. i am concerned that next when the leadership likely isn't as strong as it is this year that he could certainly be a...

i thought i saw something not too long ago with Henry where we weren't even mentioned. is Etou going to qualify? i was under the impression it was a long shot.
