  1. I picture Lou asking one of his coaches right now why Geo is getting his gear on.
  2. It's obvious Lou forgot he pinch hit for Hill.
  3. Do you think Lou's aware of Reed's extreme splits?
  4. I agree. He seems to be trying to pull the ball most of the time now.
  5. BA ranks him the 109th best prospect in California. Sounds like a keeper. .212?
  6. I think very highly of Evans. Much higher than most, it seems (though obviously some of that is relative to this subpar draft class). he reminds me of jerry stackhouse without the ability to shoot. i guess that's not necessarily a good thing. I like Evans too. I think he could be an NBA point guard. He not lightning quick like a lot of PGs, but at 6'5"- 6'6" I think he can be a guy that can run the halfcourt and do a lot of things for his team. He can see and shoot or pass over smaller PGs. He can create his own shot and/or get to the line and should be tough to guard on the pick and roll. I think putting the ball in his hands also takes the emphasis off of him being able to make a jumpshot. I keep seeing the Larry Hughes comparison and their college games were a lot alike, but Evans has much better handles and is more of a willing passer than Hughes ever was. I don't like Evans nearly as much. While he could probably play PG in the NBA I don't think he'd be anything special. His handles are nothing special and he's not very quick/fast. To be honest he's not especially athletic either. He was able to get to the rim in college partially because he was just bigger/stronger than most of his competition but also because he really has some awkward looking moves. I don't see how his game is going to translate well to the NBA. He's not much of a shooter and I can't see him getting off his shot against guys just as big and strong as he is but quicker. He really reminds me of a Chris Dougless-Roberts with more court vision. Just IMO. Also, don't forget, Calipari tried three other players at PG before letting Evans try it out. The results were good but they also coincided with C-USA league play beginning.
  7. Has anything been confirmed about his weight gain? I can't really tell much of a difference . I thought he looked just as pudgy last year.
  8. Wow, Dunn is the only one I would've preferred over Bradley. I don't think anyone could've predicted anything close to this out of Ibanez this season. And as bad as Bradley's been he's not too far behind Abreu number wise so far. But Ibanez is always consistent. Bradley was a headcase with a slightly above average bat (save for last season) who only played more than 110 games TWICE in nine seasons. Sign me up. Ibanez is consistently average. I was on board with the Bradley signing and hoping for a little luck. So far though, the signing couldn't have turned out worse.

  10. His slumps are pretty tough to watch. Hopefully he comes out of it soon.
  11. He squared around to bunt more than once. That pretty much means sacrifice.
  12. It's the dumbest old school manager move there is.
  13. gotta love the sac bunt with your hottest hitter.
  14. Poor Sean Marshall. Whenever you can take your 3rd best starter and make him a loogy, you have to make that move.
  15. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ But how much money will this cost him in the long run? Bad decision on Bledsoe's part. He'll back up Wall this season and then probably Brandon Knight next season. He'll more than likely be over recruited his entire time at Kentucky. Well, they haven't got Wall yet. They probably won't. Duke is in on him too and he isn't even elligible as of yet. Plus he wants to try and go pro immediately. I think it was pry an easy sell. I don't know why you'd say he probably wont. Everyone seems to believe Wall is going to Kentucky. Just seems odd for a five star recruit to sign with a team where there's a good possibility that he'll see limited playing time.

  17. Erick Bledsoe just chose Kentucky over Memphis. Wow Cal is good. I'd like to know how he convinced the second best PG in the class to come and be a backup.
