Skal?

At this point, not even close.. he doesn't have it.
Fantastically offensive Arsenal.. But weak as ****.
He's way too soft. SOFT.

So after the long line of young Kentucky kids you've witnessed, you're willing to completely write off a 20 year old with a fantastic body because you think his mental game cant improve to a point where he'll be able to fully utilize "what his momma gave him"?

I never said I've completely written him off... I said he's soft. He's shown no real desire to improve (per reports from those around him daily).

How comes that Calipari still recruited him? I mean his recruiting should be thorough enough to spot red flags.
 
Skal frightens me. Haven't been keeping up on this thread... How people feeling about Hield and Valentine... Normally I'm a no thank you on the seniors but I think these guys will get overlooked and I think they'd be great fits for us.

Given our payroll situation will be sky rocketing in a couple years, it does make some sense to draft a player ready for minutes right now like Hield.
DL has gone young every time though, and I think he does again.

I think his track record is pretty good.
I don't expect perfection.

Ye but with the hype surrounding Skal and his toolkit, he probably was the #1 target.
I'm not saying anything about perfection, but if there were public doubts about him prior to the college season, then the chatter on the insider level must have been outrageous in that regard.
Couldn't it be that he just needs more time to get acclimated to the uptick in terms of talent?
 
I'd take a chance on Skal if he falls to us in the 13-15 range that is if he declares. He doesn't have to contribute right away, he just needs take it slow to build up his body and game. Skal has a lot of potential and he'd be a steal if he falls in the draft.
