    Yep. I hope this encourages him to return next season. He should be in the mix for a starting role.

    I didn't have any real expectations when we signed Victor, but then after seeing some practice clips I thought he actually moves pretty well for a big guy. He has potential.

    6’11” 250 lbs, will get stronger and hopefully become rebounding defensive monster, with putbacks, hopefully threes and ft’s. An enforcer to counter thug defensive teams like last night or Tennessee comes to mind. LOL

    You know what I don't like about Urban? He is 6'1", which is basically my height...and he looks SMALL on the court. Damn, those guys are TALL!

    love it. Like Golden said, when he made that first shot he know the next was going up. That's what a confident Urban Klavzar looks like

    Kid is terrific against the very thing teams are doing to us: aggressive blitzing, trapping, hard hedging of ball screens. Isn’t rattled by defensive pressure. Big question is how he handles things defensively against bigger, quicker SEC guards.

    Who is a recent SEC guard that you would say is a comparable to Urban?

    We needed ball movement against UT and just didn't have any. Send Urby in next time.

    He looked solid against the Vandy guards.

    Edwards and Huffman aren’t the biggest or most athletic guards around, and he struggled a ton early in the season. That’s always been the book on him, though.
