Amazing Coach K can still reel in these classes. Cal has some work to do to finish out this class.

We all know Duke will end up #1 class, they can get the very Top talent as we seen the past 3 years. Plus UK has two 4 stars which is low to our standards.

So does Duke, by every legitimate ranking. Rivals has him four spots lower than Lance Ware, who plays the same position. I'll take Kentucky's 4-stars any day.

What I don’t like is that it means UL offers Traynor, who is on his official visit to UL now, and they act like they wanted JJ all along.

He's below Ware and just slightly above Cam'Ron who I'd take all day! This is great, Cal wasn't even recruiting him and Duke is eating up scholarships while Cal is working on landing 3-4 more top tier players. They're gonna return 2-3 also so they're gonna have alot of mouths to feed already with alot of top 10 guys still on the board.

They likely nab Kuminga as well. PumptheBrakefield won't keep any elite players away from Duke no more than Ware will keep guys like Brown or Todd from choosing UK.

I personally would love to add Cunningham, Brown, and Jackson. Even if Duke ended up with Kuminga, I'd take a UK class of those three mentioned above, plus the four we already have, over what Duke has coming in.

Both groups would be fun to watch.

One would hope so, although I'm not sure who we would be considered in the lead for right now outside maybe Askew.

Some think we lead for Jackson. I’m hoping we’re just sandbagging a little on some guys right now. Cal’s been known to do that. Not always a good thing for everyone to know you lead for a guy.

Not a 5 star top 25 recruit.
He’s still a very good player with a lot of upside. I think he made a mistake by not calling and begging Cal for an offer, lol, anyway, he’s a good two year guy and will help them this year. Thanks brother!

UK in good position with cliff omoruyi. People don't talk about him bc he's not a 5* (yet) but I love that kids game.
I really like his game to, He’s a high level kid no doubt. He would be a really good addition in a place of need also. Him and TODD or Brown to round out the bigs, then go get Devin or Cade and we’re are one of the best classes ever!! AGAIN!! Hehe.

Dook already has three big forwards. They had three better ones last year and flamed out again. K is gonna sell them on FOUR big forwards now? I think this development helps us with Kuminga. And even better, Barnes, who I thought was ungettable, is back in play. UKs class could still wind up historically good.

He’s easily more than a 2 year guy has very limited offensive skill set. Rebounder and fouls he will be recruited over and get 5 minutes a game if he’s lucky

Who would preclude Kuminga from picking Duke and starting at the 4 spot?
