Yes. If he speaks, pay attention.

I’m not sure how I feel about Carey. He’s not that exciting of an addition honestly.

Solid player who torched us for 18 pts and 7 rebs in the second game. 14/10 the first game. I think we can work with that. We need bodies.

Bench piece from every gathered and be an extremely good bench piece

My thing is that we already have pretty decent post depth in Estrella, Phillips, and Okpara. My hope would be that they would add a stretch big to diversify our posts’ assets

If Estrella isn't healthy, I'd feel a lot better with Carey backing up Okpara than Phillips. Team needs some physicality in the paint. Phillips will get there, but he's got some filling out to do.

True

What else may be true out there

 

[Stoked]

He made a quick appearance in the Tristen Keys thread right before he committed to LSU.

Yeah with a thumbs down emoji

 

[PowerT.]

True

Anything on this Ament buzz?

 

[JRVOL11]

that looks like a pre-written article that hasn't been released yet. You can only access via that URL and it's not on the ON3 site

Yea something is off. It was written by a Kentucky media guy

If Estrella is healthy I think it’s very likely you see him at the 4 with Cade behind him and Carey at the 5 behind Okpara as the rotation there. Of course extra additions from the portal could change that.

Somebody replace her BC with tictacs. We'll get him here one way or another.

I was about to post something similar but more blatant

 

[Stoked]

I hope that no ones takes this as me talking crazy... well it kinda is lol... but Carey has kind of a Grant Williams type of game, as in you can throw it to him down on the block and he can make a move. Def not GW... but different that what we got from Cade, Okpara, and Igor this year.

 

[VolGee4]

Does dascoop really know anything? Not saying he doesn’t, just don’t recognize him

Yes. His name is appropriate for what he’s brought.

That's why I like him he's physical and can create his own shot. Definitely worth having on the roster

Gives us a physical presence down low that we sorely missed this year.

Yeah that's definitely crazy. He averaged 8 points a game and didn't start for a fringe tournament team. He's a scrappy bench guy who happened to have two good games against us and didn't do a whole lot the rest of the year.

 

[Weezer]

Those eyes say he's already hanging out at @TrippieRedd 's house....

 

[rockytop25]

Not sure why we are complaining about adding another big man when our lack of depth in the frontcourt was one of the biggest weaknesses this year.

Scored 18 & grabbed 14 Rebs against Texas this past year...not too shabby for a bench piece

Tells me JP’s injury is worse than thought.

My take is that I wish we were improving our post room and not just adding depth. Was just hoping for someone who could shoot or score in the paint, not another version of Cade Phillips.

Did we add him? I’d rather not complain about my chickens before they hatch.
