Re: The 2017-2018 Season
Again, research. This kid does very well vs. good competition. He dominated Kentucky's frontline last year. Think any A-10 frontcourts can play with Kentucky's?

Re: The 2017-2018 Season
Do some research. Gustys has performed very well vs. good competition, like KENTUICKY. He was the leading rebounder in the country last year, until he got hurt. Super rebounder, good around the basket, and outstanding defensively. So, he sucks at free throws. So did Shaq. In the big picture, it mean...

If you never go after this level of player, you
are admitting you aren't worthy of attracting
top talent.
Win or lose, I applaud Dan and Cox for the effort here.
