One thing Kentucky lacks right now is toughness. Alex Poythress did his best to shore up the Cats’ problems inside last night with a double double, but there’s no denying that Kentucky needs a stronger presence down low. Fortunately, help is on its way from New Zealand in the form of 6’10” 263 lbs. power forward Tai Wynyard.
“Wait, isn’t Tai supposed to just be a project this season? Isn’t there even a chance he might redshirt?”, you ask? Yes, that’s what we all assumed until John Calipari himself mentioned Tai last night during his press conference as a potential answer to UK’s woes in the paint.
