Last year's rotation included a senior and some sophomores who had all played a ton of minutes before 2011-12.

They'll probably never again have a senior under the current regime who plays as many minutes as Miller and Liggins before him did in their first three years.

Cal would be lost in NBA (again). He can't compete when all the other teams pay their players too.

Teague, lamb, MKG, jones, Davis, miller, Wiltjer, and Vargas also saw minutes just about every game.

I know I didn't get a top notch Kentucky education but I'm pretty sure that's 8.

Compare last years 6,7&8 verse this years 6.7&8. You should understand my point then.

Miller was a HUGE part of UKs success last year, you see Wiltjer having a similar impact as a 6th man??? Don't think so. Then hood&beckham compared to Wiltjer and Vargas, not even a comparison.

Just saying that I'd gotten used to him getting everybody, especially when there's only 6 scholarship players on the team, per bleeding.
They actually have 9 iirc, but I'm not counting hood, beckham and polson, that's why I said 6 legitimate D1 players. The only reason the last 2 have scholarships is because there was extras to give, and hood can't get on a court whether it's injury or lack of talent, but we can count him and say 7.

I don't care what anyone says, that roster is very thin the way it sits. Last year you had one of the best 6th men in the country that was a big part of their success, who replaces that? Last yes you had Vargas to play some minutes inside if there was foul trouble, now who does that? You are essentially trading miller and Vargas for beckham and hood, not even close to even. Then add in that they downgraded at 4 of 5 positions, and I just don't see it.

And obviously cal realizes the lack of depth because he's recruiting a transfer from wright state.

Vargas didn't play an important role - he would have if Davis ever got into foul trouble but that didn't happen a lot.

I don't worry about the team, Cal is smart and knows these players better than we do - one thing you can count on is they'll be a competitive bunch. The landscape of college basketball is different this coming year than last, there aren't really great teams this year so it should make for a fun regular season and tournament.
