"Lord Ash... hit me one time make it funky. Lord Ash... hit me one time make it funky"

I normally get this in before the season. But shit got in the way and I fucked up. But I can't let the season go past without talking about this squad.

Prior to this season, I thought this would be one our best and most balance teams since the 38-1 squad. And it kinda is. Just took some time getting there.

Quade left. Wish he would've stayed. But shit happens. Now lets go to squad.

PJ Washington - should be one of the most dominant players in the country. He's recently played that way, but can do all of the time. He's come back in better shape. And now has 3 point range.

Reid Travis - the 5th year transfer from Stanford. Not a big leaper but is built like Colossus. Provides veteran leadership on this team.

Nick Richards - the big man from Jamaica. One of the most naturally gifted bigs I've seen at UK. He just needs the confidence.

Keldon Johnson - A solid wing. Plays well on both ends. A better 3pt shooter than I imagined. I would not be surprised if he ends up being the best player getting drafted in June. Reminds me a lot of Pierce and Stackhouse.

Ashton Hagans - Lord Ash is the best perimeter defender in the country. He's probably one of the best defenders I've ever seen at Kentucky as a freshman. And he should be a Senior in HS. Tough player that is leading this squad.

Tyler Herro - solid Freshman. Okay shooter, but more than that. Can defend a bit. Can handle. Will be a NBA player.

EJ Montgomery - another solid Freshman that just needs time and confidence. Reminds me so much of Tayshaun.

Immanuel Quickley - low key one of my favorite players. Consistent. Good shooter.

Projection: This team should be the best team in the SEC and compete for a Championship. We're ahead of the learning curve right now. And I can only imagine how great they'll be by Tourney time. A lot hinges on Nick and EJ. But we're rounding into the most dominant team in the country.
