[quote]I could see Mo Dioubate moving to point guard similar to how Herb Jones was used here.[/quote] Mo did bring the ball up lots last year. He can run and dribble. I agree that's a skill he can develop. Needs to get a couple of shots he can hit too....

[quote]Griffen may go to a UAB type school[/quote] Well, Griffin's pursuers since December have been Kansas and Houston. Don't think Kansas is in that league. SMU, in his hometown Dallas, is also a possibility as they move to the ACC. I'm sure Andy Kennedy would be happy to get him, but......

Maybe because we already have two guard/ wings from the portal in Youngblood and Mallette, plus Cunningham from fall recruiting, and we really need a solid point guard in case Sears enters the draft as many expect. Another rim protector (in addition to Sherrell there) and a point should be top prior...

Are most or all the former Kentucky commits going with Calipari to Arkansas? Who paid them in the first place, and who is paying them now? I hope just for the sake of not-stupid business that Kentucky did not pay them their NIL in full before they signed. We need a rule that players are free to tran...

With Mallette and Youngblood, we have replaced Estrada and Griffin, but there is a good chance Sears goes pro, and Cosby is in the portal. Clearly Oats...

I was a big Rylan fan, but he got real angry at Oats a couple of times late season, once, I think it was Arkansas game, when Oats pulled him from the game. We were there and were really shocked at seeing Rylan so angry. Players held him back. A friend was at all the tournament games and said same th...
