Is Poythress the key?
I haven't been posting very often this "off" season, but I read a lot of articles and threads on here and i really appreciate this community. I know that cal is pumped to coach Poythress again, and I'm not 100% sure where he will fit in the line up. But I can't shake him...I can't stop feeling like he will be the key this year. He's physically a very impressive athlete and has that Liggins-Jones strength (hopefully with less head up his butt-edness we saw from jones time to time). I can't wait to see what he does...He's one of my favorite players on the team currently...looking for him to finish better at the rim, improve free-throw shooting and take us a long way. thought?

If Kentucky wants to realize the ultimate goal, I believe that Alex must play a significant role in that outcome. I am very anxious to see how it all fits together.

Re: Is Poythress the key?
I am of the opinion that Poythress needed some new friends to hang out with, that a couple of players from last year's team had influences with him that weren't of the best kind. Poythress on the floor and Jon Hood off the floor are going to be key role players for this year's Kentucky basketball team. JMHO.
MOLON LABE!

Re: Is Poythress the key?
Yup you are correct and there have been several eye witness reports of a change in attitude and effort from Poythress since the distractions are no longer around. I hope to see the dominate player we saw in a couple of games last season when this one starts. I do not know that I would call hm THE key, but he could surely be a difference maker this year.

Forget Robert Morris-- can we schedule Georgia State and get some REAL revenge on last season's debacle?

Re: Is Poythress the key?
Poythress scored 20 against Duke then as the season progressed,he got more and more passive. In other words,he looks like Tarzan, but plays like Jane. If I was Cal, I'd be tempted to bring Jamal Magloire in for a few practices and let him slap Alex around for a week or two. Mr. Poythress must learn to play a bit nasty in order for Kentucky to go to the next level.
