Excellent overview of the state of the team; possibly his best blog post yet:

Didn't realize fitz was 6'8" should be fun to watch these guys develop and how Coffey, Curry and Hurt mesh in next year. I am also excited Pitino went with my idea of old guys vs new guys for the scrimmage. Wish I could go, wanted to see fitz and lynch, never understood why transfers can't play in exhibitions, but they can in closed door scrimmages like the one vs Iowa state last year
Based on my understanding they are all quite different so once we see who is who should be easy. As Pitino had said(I think), all 4 could play together.I've got to admit I'm having a hard time keeping all the newcomers straight, and this is from someone who's been into the recruiting narrative over the past few years. I need to see some games to differentiate McBrayer from Dorsey from Gilbert from Fitzgerald. Hopefully they're all so damn good I still can't tell the difference!
While we probably won't be very good this year, I'm excited to see how the freshman contribute right away. I think we'll be a lot of fun to watch. Looking forward to see how the freshman develop throughout the season. Next year's squad has the potential to be very good.
He shot 41% from three last year.Good read but a little concerned that Joey king is our best shooter. He's a hard worker and good kid and I do love him on this team but we should have better shooters than him on this team.

He shot 41% from 3pt range last year. Top ten in the league. Why is that concerning?

I really shouldn't have to explain it to you. Love Joey but he is a flawed and very limited player. We shouldn't have to rely on someone who would be a bench player on most teams. It is where we are right now so I don't expect much from the team this year.

I love Joey bashing threads because it just comes down to he doesn't get enough rebounds. That's just about the only thing you can say about him.
When was the last time we had a big white player who people liked?
Joel Przybilla
Another jackass; Rick Rickart was 6'-10".
Michael Bauer was not a 'post' big man, but at 6'-8"... didn't like him either.

He also doesn't create his own shot. Not trying to bash him cuz I think he is a hard worker and important to the team but when u think about it what does that say about the rest of the team when he is your best shooter. That is why I am a little concerned about this season.
Bullshizzle. He creates plenty of shots. Pump fakes for a one dribble pull up are just as effective as a break your guy down. He has and often does take his man into the post of he is of equal or better size.He also doesn't create his own shot.
