Wait, so when we go to Kentucky they won't be ranked and will be fighting for their lives.

Fvck now we're gonna lose.

Hypothetical, but not super unlikely. I never understood why everybody had them ranked so high. They returned pretty much nothing, and added no top 10 players. I had them as a dark horse NIT team to start the season. If it weren't for Gilgeous-Alexander being somewhat of a surprise standout, that NIT prediction could've come to fruition.

This will end up being Cal's worst or second worst team at Kentucky, so it's possible. They are really up and down. A lot like us, but I don't think their best is quite as good as our best or their worst as bad as our worst.

It's crazy to say, but they aren't as talented as us.

I love Frank but his only good teams at South Carolina have had 700 juniors and seniors.

He would murder everyone on this roster and/or go 14-16.

That team he has this year is disgusting garbage. I'm pretty sure, at this point, they are the worst team in the league.

Auburn gets SCar twice late too. They won't lose those.

Let's not get too carried away. From top to bottom their roster is more talented than ours. They don't have anyone as good as Sexton though, much less a PG on that level. And Cal for whatever reason just recruited a ton of wings. It's a very talented roster, but an extremely flawed one.

I don't think what George said is far fetched. Herb is as well rounded as any wing Kentucky has , and I'd take petty over any of them when he's on. They don't have anyone like hall or Sexton either. Was at the game today since I'm back home visiting and was very impressed by our guys, hopefully they can close strong .

I don't know about that. Nick Richards and Pj Washington are definitely both bigs. Kevin Knox is most likely going to be drafted as a stretch 4 in the NBA. Jarred Vanderbilt is a tweener like Key. All 4 of those guys were top 20 5-stars. They just haven't lived up to expectations (except Knox and maybe Washington).

I honestly don't think this year's roster, 1-8, is as talented as ours is in this current season.

They've got a lot of tweener guys and guys who came out talented but insanely raw. It'd a very oddly constructed roster. They are an offensive mess. They don't have a trigger man or a big guy underneath. Knox is awesome but everyone else is completely unsure of who or what they are.

Now, in 2 years? Probably not.

If Bowen ends up going pro, I don't see them being any better next year. Their backcourt might be worse cause they'll lose Booker. They should get Felder back though.

If they don't make it next year, that'd be one tournament in seven years for Frank. Last year's tournament run will rightfully keep him off the hot seat though.
