Aberdeen to UK!

[kywildcat1021979]

We're going to the FF

40-0….

 

[3Eye]

Per ESPN.

 

[mrjuk]

BOOOM!

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Perfect. Exactly what we needed. As far as I'm concerned we can close the book on this portal season. Glad to be done with it actually.

 

[wldctky_rivals70430]

Great pickup!

I am shocked....thought the rumors was B.S.

 

[Bowfreak.]

Great size and defender, too. Our team won’t light it up from three as many times next year but we are going to beat a lot of teams with defense, talent, and depth.

I think this team is going to shoot the 3 ball great. We don't have a Brea type but our shooters will benefit from having a lot of capable shooters on the floor. By the end of the season, due to injuries, all you had to do was shut down Brea and our 3 pt attack would suffer.

 

[MethodUK]

Is this good? Lol

What does branham mean by “more talent incoming”

I’d imagine developmental pieces and/or return of Oweh but I don’t know. I’m definitely not thinking more rotation pieces personally.

 

[4Frusciante#]

Wow! Lowe, Aberdeen, Oweh, MD, and Quaintance has the potential to be a GREAT defense!

 

[Lukasz0brzut]

Wow. This is great, just get Oweh back

 

[bigblueinsanity_rivals250340]

Good pickup. He was crucial in the title game when wcj wasnt playing well. He helped lead the comeback.

 

[BassProCat]

Sheeeeeeesh dropping bags

 

[bigblue2088]

Baby Billy got the job done a 8 Ball and 2 Million

 

[Wunky]

Does Griffin cancel his visit now?

I would have to think so. You bring on Griffen you chase Jasper off.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Darbyshire is transferring, so that tells me they are making space for somebody

 

[Ryan Lemonds Hair]

What does branham mean by “more talent incoming”

I took it to mean we had a final four caliber team and with Aberdeen we have more talent incoming.

 

[KY_BBN]

Wonder how much he cost?

The guy’s three latest posts are a salt mine, the cope is strong with this one…

 

[ftp000]

Because the school he played for chose to pay another transfer-in around $2.7 million dollars, more than they wanted to pay Aberdeen. The kid believed, I think with some justification, he had paid his dues - played behind the best backcourt in the country, and was next-up.

Link?

 

[TheAnonymous13]

I don’t see how we got in late the guy just recently entered the portal

I’m guess late is relative. He had two offers before Kentucky entered the equation.

 

[noncomposmentis]

Our roster is completed

Unless we add development pieces

I don't know what "developmental pieces" means in 2025. If you get someone else who is capable of getting minutes at all you very much run the risk of running someone else off. And if they aren't capable of getting minutes (outside of blowout situations) you're asking the kid to hang around not only this year but next year as well - which I don't think is a reasonable expectation in the portal era.

We already have 10 rotation kids and 3 others (Moreno, Perry, Noah) who will be fighting for time. No room at the inn for others......

We’re f***ing stacked! Huge p/u…LFG!

I think it will be development piece

 

[mrjuk]

BOOOM!

Hopefully this off-season puts to bed the talk of Pope not being able to recruit and UK being so far behind in NIL.

 

[FirewithFire]

He could start here as a PG I guess. He has good handles and takes care of the ball. Not a great shooter but he is good enough that defenses can't just sag off of him to clog the lane. Free throws are pretty much terrible.

He had a rough tourney stats wise, but he brings size, experience, and physical toughness to the team. Will be interesting to see how Pope phases him in.

But one of our walk-on leaves, so could be one guy will come here (but will not play a lot)

 

[Wunky]

Sheeeeeeesh dropping bags

But according to several goobers on here we don’t have the $ to compete with other schools.

Do you idiots ever stop to think that maybe we just don’t want to bust our whole nut on 2-3 players???

Lowe is PG, he will play starting 2

 

[TheAnonymous13]

He didn’t ask florida for $2mil.

 

[richbrookstomato]

If this addition doesn’t result in another transfer out, Coach Pope is setting up this roster to be one of the DEEPEST in the country!!! With a little of everything needed to compete against ANYONE!!

Hope we can keep the young guys for another year of development because this roster could set UK on a path to be GREAT for a LONG time!!!

 

[kywildcat1021979]

UK dishing out the $

 

[Wildcats1st]

The kid that visited last weekend the 4* maybe. Did griffen cancel? And branham said we have a ff roster now. If that’s not considering Oweh…

 

[Wildcats1st]

If this addition doesn’t result in another transfer out, Coach Lope is setting up this roster to be one of the DEEPEST in the country!!! With a little of everything needed to compete against ANYONE!!

Hope we can keep the young guys for another year of development because this roster could set UK on a path to be GREAT for a LONG time!!!

It won’t relax this is basically replacing Lewis

 

[noncomposmentis]

Sheeeeeeesh dropping bags

yes, where are those brave souls complaining because either we were poor or had money and stupidly refused to spend it? Someday someone should do an expost analysis of portal season - not only what actually happened, but the caterwauling that also occurred in real time.....

 

[wccat]

He didn’t ask florida for $2mil.

What was he asking UF? Is that why he left UF? $$$$?

 

[Wildcats1st]

I’m guess late is relative. He had two offers before Kentucky entered the equation.

Im excited for this guy thanks for the feedback

 

[Jamal Mercer]

I like the fact that he averaged 16 in a four game starting stint midseason vs

Aubutn
Miss state
Vandy
SC
