Vanderbilt looks like the biggest disappointment in college basketball thus far. Dores are now 8-6 overall after tonight's loss at Arkansas.

what a difference a month and half makes. At the time it looked like a missed opportunity for our strength of schedule to play Vanderbilt(although the computer numbers still like them). Wake forest is their best win so far. The ups and downs of a college basketball season is fasinating to watch.

Its what they do. They always choose a hero.

 

Every year some player is deemed the next Lebron, Jordan, Durant, or Magic Johnson. 

Sort of unfair to the players because not a lot of them have lived up to that hype, even though some have become great players none the less. They said it about OJ Mayo, Shabazz Muhammed, Andrew Wiggins, and now Simmons

I loved the Mildcats loss. If Skal does not develop, the front line is going to give them nothing all season. Alex and Lee give nothing offensively. Murray and Ulis are terrific, but I dont think they can carry the load.

I mean Wiggins is pretty freaking special, though he's probably more of a Paul George type player, with better offensive upside and probably worst defense.

 

Also, Simmons is an absolute freak. Dude more than deserves all the hype he is getting, the only player anywhere close to him is Kris Dunn

UK is where 5 stars go to become average. Where is the player development? Poythress is the same as he was as a freshman. Skal and Briscoe were studs and they've become mediocre.

Or they were overrated coming out of high school. Skal never became mediocre, dude was always mediocre. He never had anything resembling an offensive game, and now he is playing with other front line guys who don't suck. 

 

Poythress has dealt with injuries his whole career, injuries stunt development.

I'm not even going to get into all the 5 stars that have been great players for UK. But hey, those don't count because of some weird narrative that makes no sense
