I told someone I know today who’s a WVU fan that Kentucky could end up pushing Oscar to the bench if they get Jalen Duren. This was before Cockburn entered the portal.
Kentucky hired two assistants from Illinois (Coach O and Chin Coleman) and they are presumed the heavy favorite if Cockburn pulls out of the draft.
I was perplexed why people would be interested in British Basketball when I initially looked at the title of this thread....silly me.
It is interesting.....Kofi is a big advantage on both sides of the court in some matchups, while being a disadvantage in others. His game is basically his size and strength. It really depends on the players around him and the style that they would be optimal playing. Personally, if Oscar regains his motor from his Freshman season, I would much rather have him than Kofi because he is a far more versatile beast. They were in the same recruiting class, and Oscar was the higher ranked recruit.
“The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.”― Marcus Aurelius
They could play together but you run the risk of doing the same thing WVU ran into with Oscar and Culver in the middle which bogged down the offense.
If Cockburn (or Duren) comes the possibilities are endless. It’s basically the 2014-2015 team in terms of versatility. They can go big with Oscar and Cockburn or go with one and use Keion Brooks or Daimion Collins to stretch the floor.
Marcus Carr is also listing Kentucky but at this point it’s a hat on the table.
Seeing chatter out there that Kofi is deciding between Florida St. and Illinois. Yea I said it right. Florida St. and Illinois.
Kentucky won’t be the pick for Kofi Cockburn

If true, I'll hate that Calipari plays two no-range bigs together.
I much prefer the frenetic, five-out, shoot from everywhere, hard-core man to man, 94 feet of Hell style of play. Give me old school Nolan Richardson, please. Or Dick Motta. Or Cal at Memphis. Or Cal early in his Kentucky tenure.
