So the reports are that Catchings and Crawford are pretty frustrated

TNT

Crawford? Link? Where you getting that from, pal?

Jarom Jordon or someone on sports nation said there were two players frustrated

It was posted here on CB. That's why I said "or someone." I didn't see the

Why would Jarom even put this out there now?

BYU71

Mar 25, 9:53am

Because Jarom thinks that is what is best for HIS career

He was talking about how good the team chemistry is but then didn't want to be

It's a nothingburger. This is way blown out of proportion.

Thanks Jarom

kimdaddy35

Mar 25, 10:46am

Because he didn't actually say that

MaximusMeridius

Mar 25, 11:36am

He didn’t put anything out there, it was an offhand remark taken out of context

ninja math

Mar 25, 2:02pm

No, that is not how Jarom said it. He was making the point that we have a deep bench and not every player is going to

Exactly, made a blanket statement about it

Yup!! Exactly This!

Thanks for clarifying. Many in here are jealous of Jarom and like taking shots.

LOL. CB is incredible. A whole long thread on the front page over that comment?!

Got to credit TNT here for his post

Finally some recognition for all of his hard work here

Let them go, they will play if the play well enough to merit it.

Ah good. Now I know I don’t need to worry about this.

Kdubb

Mar 25, 9:56am

I think any player with a relatively high recruiting rating would be frustrated

cougarfan84

Mar 25, 9:40am

TNT has said for awhile he doesn't anticipate Catchings returning

TNT

Mar 25, 9:48am

If KY has shown anything it’s that he will give players ample opportunities to

kotacoug

100% this. If players are complaining, they have no one to blame but themselves.

westsidecoug

Mar 25, 10:05am

I agree. Doesn't make the players any less frustrated. The hope is that they

cougarfan84

Mar 25, 10:09am

Yeah. The best players will play for KY. Hard to dispute that

cajuncoug

Mar 25, 10:10am

Bad timing for Catchings injury - I can understand how he would be frustrated

Hopefully with all the knowledge of the game and professionalism in his family

BYU '80

Nobody likes to ride the pine. It's like TNT trying to find a date, very frustrating.

Yes. Pon Farr waits for no man

TNT

This is what will be the norm going forward. High potential guys might not reach

It does seem that way

TNT

They don’t think it be like it is, but it do.

Drawback of being a a really good team

puntersarepeople

Mar 25, 10:28am

Yep. You know how we’ve gotten good backups from other programs in football?

cajuncoug

Mar 25, 10:36am

Not really. Guys who aren't playing on a 8-23 team would still be frustrated

TNT

Mar 25, 3:28pm

This, exactly. Not every 4-star or even 5-star guy is going to pan out right

LifeLongLakerFan

As long as KY is having success, recruits will come

Unfortunate but understandable...

If Crawford is frustrated, he does a good job of hiding it. Seems very ...

You can be a good team player and still be frustrated in your role

Take Trey Stewart as a prime example of this. I think it goes without saying he

cougarfan84

I was impressed with the confidence he played with vs Wisconsin at both ends...

This. Zero issues with how Crawford has appeared to handle things

If that's true, and I have no idea, while they maybe didn't turn out to be

But you know how it goes. The player will usually blame the coach for lack of PT

Young has openly said multiple times that he has guys who deserve more minutes

Any competitive team playing at a high level is going to have the players

Lee Cummard was frustrated and thought about transferring after his freshman year.

Cougar Jazz Fan

Mar 25, 10:37am

Really? He started a bunch of games as a freshman.

Bossk82

Mar 25, 12:01pm

Another reason the portal shouldn't open until after the tourney is over. No team still playing needs this distraction

Spiff

Mar 25, 10:40am

Yeah. Don’t like it at all.

cajuncoug

Mar 25, 10:47am

Such a bad idea

Understand frustration for some, but hard to question coaching decisions

Yep, clearly KY's rotations and lineups are working.
