Wow, it must be hard to play for Kentucky fans. You better be good enough to go to the NBA, but not go. And boy, forget development. Randolph Morris is about 6 games into his college career, and here are what Kentucky fans have to say:
He is not a rough guy at all. Is he 6-8 or 6-10? He needs to do a lot of work in the weight room IMO.

He looks lazy to me. When your big in high school things come easy. When you play D-1 everyone has a 6-9 are bigger, and you have to work for things. I noticed one time he posted, got the ball, kicked it back out, but didn't repost and Sparks was looking for him to repost. He doesn't block out anyone. I dont know how long Tubby puts up with it.

I do think that Morris could benefit tremendously from a bit more of a "mean streak". I don't think he's lazy, just not developed a killer instinct yet. I guess, to some degree, he is still feeling his way, but as others have stated, I thought he would have pretty much arrived by now. So far, I'm really disappointed in his rebounding totals the most....and to me, that has a lot to do with how much heart you play with.

I thought the guy looked pretty capable when he took the pass from Sparks, I believe, as he was coming down the lane and slammed it home. I thought that was a pretty impressive finish and may have been on a fast break. If he took it to the hole like that more, he would be all world.

All that has changed. If Morris has the mental toughness to move up to the next level, he will excell again. If not, we will have another Marvin Stone on our hands. Morris doesn't appear to have a nose for the ball. "Blocking Out" is a foreign phrase to him.

Morris is a damn wimp! Sean May (who is pretty soft himself) destroyed him! The ironic thing is that Morris actually thought about turning pro, he'd get killed!! He keeps playing like Rob Lock, Shagari should start over him. Since he's injured for a while, Tubby should get Magliore to come in and work with our centers, Woo and Morris would definitely toughen up...or get killed!!!

You're right guys, shouldn't get into name calling! I feel that he ACTS like a wimp on the court! That's the kind of fire that I am looking for to get him angry enough to fight because someone calls him a wimp!! I do agree that a point could be articulated much better than calling a guy out! It's really nothing personal, just want him to learn a fraction of the toughness that Jamaal Magliore possesses!
About saying it to his face....yeah, I probably would have the courage to do so gained from my 6 + years in military and being a 30 year old man versus an 18 year old overgrown child!!
Regardless, I want to see Randolph and the cats successful! I just don't want to see him humiliated on national TV again by a guy in Sean May that is inferior both in skills and in size!!
Ok, there were some positive comments, buy man, talk about harsh. Having said that, I seem to remember a few fans just "slightly" critical of a certain 7'1" Australian center who wears our uniform.
