Though they have plenty of experience, just not experience togetherness. Most teams before this year usually have 3 to 4 years veterans who have played together for several years, which helps throughout the season (seasoned veteran players). I sure hope they gel before the season starts.
@@sterlingphoenix6353Actually, that's not really true anymore. At least not for good players Some schools may retain a core for 3-4 years, but today, good players tend to transfer. They essentially open up their recruiting again, and go elsewhere for more NIL, or more playing time, or a higher profile school, or coaching staff they like, etc. Essentially, college now has free agency every year for every player.
@@sterlingphoenix6353 UCONN has won back to back NC's with two very different rosters. Not a 100% overhaul, but several new pieces in year 2. It can work. The fact that they started working together in early summer helps with the cohesiveness. It's all on paper right now of course, but I really like the pieces Pope has put together.
@@stevewilliams1176I like what Coach Pope has done as well, I try my best to support our players and coaches alike. Though there's so many colleges that are raising the bar and plus players.
Here's a question for you. Which is generally better: A. An 18-19 year-old 5-star freshman, playing his first experience in college, with and against players who are almost all nesrly as physically talented as the 5-star freshman. And who has a reenagers bidy still. Or B. A really good 4-star type player, who isn't quite the freak athlete of an "elite" freshman, but who is a physically mature 22-24 year-old, with 3-4 years college experience. I tend to think the latter, unless you have one if the very few elute of the elite freshmen. And even feeer of those reams have 2-3 of those super-elute freshmen. If a team has 3-5 of those really good mature players, I think that tends to neutraluze the 18-year-old freak physical ability. A man usually has a world of difference between jis bidy at 18 versus his 23-year-old body. Since thete isn't THAT much physical difference between elute and really good athletes, I tend to think 4 years of maturity tends to overcome the physical difference
Ready to see this years cats hit the hardwood ! BBN
We will definitely have the experience not too often you have five fifth year seniors on a team.

Mullins would be a great fit with a Pope offense ! BBN
Daily Reminder: John Calipari should've served prison time for not starting Reed and Rob and not playing them over 30 min a game
Ky has had offense what we need is defense with our offense
We had best shooter last year he just didnt shot a lot
Why isn't mullens a 3. Isn't he 6'5 or 6
