POLL: Will opposing coaches and fans still use the “older more experienced” card against BYU as an excuse when we beat them?

Pros and Cons for existing players of getting teammates added to the team who

Crowd Factor

I think it’s overall a pro. For example, Knell may see his minutes cut. But

Pro-team has higher ceiling Con- you realize early you aren’t NBA material

A Drew Aitch

4:47pm

New bold prediction: The 3 top contributors to 2024-25 team could be return players despite 2 likely 1st round recruits.

You have 2 potential NBA first rounders...you start them.

Starting fellow freshman DJ Wagner ahead of both of them still confuses me.

Hope Baker crushes it but foot injuries are brutal and you never know.

shimmy

4:43pm

Agree we don't know. But Baker say he's 100% and has no more chance of injury than any other player.

4:48pm

While true, most lottery picks are stars of their team. Guys like Holmgren,

kimdaddy35

4:44pm

This is definitely true.

The Y's Insider

4:44pm

I’m not too worried about Egor but Catchings may not be a dominant player

puntersarepeople

4:46pm

I agree. Even in his OTE games he played off the ball an awful lot.

kimdaddy35

4:47pm

And you know what guys? This could just be the beginning.

Pope right now.

CAPX All-American

4:28pm

Pope isn’t looking back. Kentucky always had his heart.

JOPE

4:29pm

Nah. He gave his whole heart to BYU while he was here. Good luck to him there. We're obviously in good hands.

SinkingQuffa

Pope has got to wonder why they wouldn't open the NIL coffers for him

Pope while at BYU....

WJCougar

4:40pm

Jaxson Robinson made a big mistake leaving.

DirtyWater

4:27pm

Kentucky will be pretty good, he will be fine

JOPE

4:28pm

you would rather have had him stay then have KY?

oryguncoug

4:30pm

Not course not. KY wanted him to stay.

JOPE

4:31pm

disregard, some reason I was thinking you wished Pope would stay.

oryguncoug

4:32pm

Kentucky will be good? Based on what?

WJCougar

4:35pm

He loaded up in the portal.

LifeLongLakerFan

4:35pm

I actually don't think so. He will get more time at Kentucky.

kimdaddy35

4:29pm

At this point, I don’t know if he left or was forced out. I mean, I’m kidding.

blackandblue

4:29pm

I loved having him as a Coug. When he left I was annoyed because, if drafted, he would no longer be drafted as a Coug.

Wouldn’t surprise me if he cracked the rotation

So you would have benched Robinson? He had a month shooting worse than

Thrill

You need to move Knell up the list. Even off the bench he will contribute

Plato

3:51pm

Knell will have an impact based on his 3 point shooting. I’d put Hall 2 or 3.

Hall will be number 1 as he has the most combined experience and talent
