Furphy would've been arguably our best player, wouldn't he have been?

SinkingQuffa

He may have been a non-factor in some of them, but he scored 15-20 points in

Jax doesn’t play for us.

He's allowed to project, I guess. I don't see it happening

RGGeemer

He still carries our name. And KY declared him hopeful & open game just yesterday. He still fits our roster very well.

SinkingQuffa

Potential starting 5 b-ball. Lots of offense but how would we do on D?

OU Cougar

There is basically no way Keba and Fouss both start since neither can shoot

I'm guessing without looking that Fous had the highest FG% on the team last year

For one year they can fit in.
