Following potential 2013 draftees

From Chad's chat today;

Q: Does Roy Williams not get the most out of his players? It appears that Macadoo is
doing teh same thing that Barnes did. A big recruit that isn't playing
up to the potential.

Chad Ford (1:41 PM) It's a question I was discussing with a number of GMs yesterday. Obviously
UNC gets a lot of blue chip talent which means they're going to be good
no matter what. But how many of those players actually develop or get
better while they are at UNC? I can name a bunch of players at Kentucky
who improve their games with Cal. Much harder to come up with examples
among the elite UNC recruits. Not sure how much development they get
there.
 
UK played tonight, my take;

Wiltjer - Played like ****. 9pts, 4rbs

Harrow - Still out.

WCS - Played very unimpressively. 2pts, 4rbs, 1blk

Poythress - Still lacking a consistent motor .. not motor as much as it is killer instinct. Was invisible most of the game. Did all his damage, twice, after Calipari lit his *** up. 20pts, 8rbs (I think he's just taking things slowly as he adjusts to this level of bb.)

Noel - He is not overrated. A little raw, needs strength, but is the real deal. Biggest hustler on the floor for 40 minutes. 9pts (3/4), 11rbs, 4asts, 6blks, 3stls

Goodwin - Good God his speed and athleticism reminds me of one guy.. Wall. He's unstoppable off the dribble and the dude just wants to kill everyone around him.. epitome of killer instinct. Making much better decisions only after 3 games. No telling what he'll do when Harrow returns and he gets to move off the ball..
28pts, 6rbs, 4asts, 3blks (kid is scary fast and athletic)

Just saw the highlights of this game on SC...did you see the spat between the HC and PG for Morehead? Pretty ugly. The HC sort of shoved the kid and was relentlessly going off on him...near the end of the game I think right after the kid fouled out.

Yeah. It was pretty intense. Too intense in my opinion. Camera was panned in on the kid as he started to tear up. Unfortunately, the coach has his jersey hanging at Rupp or I'd even be tougher on him. I didn't like it.

Agreed.

Who's the coach?
 
Wow .. just went to the main UK board and was surprised to see so many UK fans livid with Sean Woods (coach) and defending the player.

Woods is one of 'ours' and a beloved ex-player. Kind of cool to see the fans calling for his head for treating the guard like total ****, after he played his guts out all night..
 
OT: By the way, this game made UK's home-winning streak bulge to 54. Amazing that Calipari took over as coach in '09 and has never lost at home.

I was a little surprised to see that Jack Taylor is a white dude. For some reason I was picturing a Jamaal/Jordan Crawford type guy.

Now I'm surprised.
Other surprises-
He had 0 assists in that game- Ultimate ball hog beyond Nick Youngean levels
He shot 48% from the field and 38% from 3.
10 FTA

His stats are about as efficient as an average player....I sort of feel like anybody could have had that game if they were given 108 shots

The Jack Taylor record is a complete and utter disgrace to the game of basketball and their HC should be fired.
