Message: [QUOTE="Cliver, post: 1968027, member: 6108"] This was my question earlier: I don't know your roster well enough, so which of these guys are legitimate contributors? And I completely agree about the FF experience. That's big, and it'll help. Might be the perfect blend to beat Kentucky. But, Cal's shown repeatedly that age usually doesn't matter with his teams. By March, his teams are humming (with the exception of a couple squads), so by the time we'd realistically run into Syracuse, UK's freshmen will be (theoretically) tuned up. This group is also shaping up to be one of the best defensive teams Cal's had at Kentucky. That, and our speed in transition, can neutralize a lot of the style variations you alluded to above. I get it though. It defies all logic to choose a freshmen-dominated roster over a veteran team. If I hadn't watched it happen again and again over the last seven years, I wouldn't even try to argue. But when the talent's there, it's often all you need. [/QUOTE]
