Re: QUESTIONS FOR THE LUNCHEON

Something I would like him to address is why is Bennett not being used. I know conditioning is an issue and he does not necessarily fit our style of play but we need him on the floor even if it’s just 12 to 15 minutes a game. We have no paint presence and teams are just setting on the three point li...

Re: Bellarmine

Bellarmine has a student enrollment of 2700, and yet they had a bigger crowd there than we can draw with our 15,000 student enrollment. And we practically give away our tickets. Yes, we are 25 miles from UK, but they are 5 miles from U of L. What can we do? Just got to consistently win games and pe...

Re: Bellarmine

I said it at the end of last year and it will be the same at the end of this year, AW badly needs to bring in a coach the can draw up plays. We have too many possessions on offense that are garbage and end up with rushed threes or contested threes. It results in the other team going on runs and fail...

Re: UT Martin vs Tenn St.

They got a bunch of snow in the area. Probably no one could get to the game.

Re: Central Arkansas

AW does a lot of really good things but the one thing I have complained about the last couple years and is still a problem this year, is he is not a great X&O's coach. We just do not have good plays to go to when we need baskets especially late in games. Coming out of the timeout with 14 seconds lef...

Re: Tre King transferring

What a gut punch this is. I figured he would be the one to stay. He was lobbying for AW to get the job and then commits after AW is hired. Thought for sure he would stick it out. I get the Green transfer but don’t think it was the right move. With King, he was the the focal point of our offense. We ...

Re: Cheikh Faye

I was hoping either Cruick or Hobbs came back. We need that veteran guard to come off the bench to help run the offense when Green comes off the floor. If one or both of them come back, it won’t count towards the scholarship limit. If neither comes back, we will probably need a transfer to come in a...

Re: Cheikh Faye

I just read about the transfers on the Verbal Commits recruiting site. I guess Carmical (and everyone else) gets another year to play due to the Covid exemptions? I’m not surprised to see Faye go. I also saw that EKU is recruiting guards Jordan Battle and Kenny Noland, Forward IJ Ezuma and 7-footer...

Re: What do we need to do?

Michigan State just signed a sponsorship deal to rename their basketball team “MSU Spartans Presented by Rocket Mortgage.

Dumb as it sounds and is, maybe we can sign a deal and rename our team “EKU Colonels Presented by Raising Canes” and get some extra money in to keep AW and fix up AC. Lol

Re: What do we need to do?

Broughton is transferring as a grad transfer. Never lived up to his potential and was certainly slowed by injures. A lot of what could have been had he not had that serious knee injury. Hopefully he has success next season wherever he ends up.
