Mizzou 1-0, how will they do this weekend?

I think 15 wins might be a stretch. Unless Barnett is the absolute best player. If he's the leading scorer, and Nikko can provide quality post play come SEC play...15 might not be out of reach. 18 and I might sell all my UK gear and become an MU honk...Ok, I won't do that, but I'd be floored. The biggest thing is to be competitive and retain players. He does that, the wins they get will be enough to get year four I think. And with this roster, year four will be where you see tourney berths and such. I think this roster will wind up being that good.

No idea how his game translates in Kim's system, but when I watched their intrasquad preseason scrimmage, he was a big time standout. Great range, handles, and can really fly.

That's my concern. If he can play a wing and be on the floor with Hughes or Jackson on the other wing, I feel like that could add to the offense. Or better yet, KA could move away from the hi-low stuff in some situations. Would love to see Phillips, Jackson, Hughes, and Barnett on the floor with one of the posts. But not sure how that bunch would translate to getting stops and boards.

he played wing in the scrimmages...and at 6'7"...yeah, he gets his shots off.

Forgot about Walton earlier (sometimes I wonder if KA does too). Add him to that mix of perimeter players. CVL has to continue to hit shots, or his mins disappear. Need the length on the floor. But as long as he's sniping, he needs to play.
