I’ll have to admit, I don’t know much about this guy, but I can tell you this I’d rather have Chris Gettlefinger than Stokes.

“He doesn’t fit our system, we need more players from Weber St. and Gardner-Webb.” - Mark Pope.
Ignorant post again, got Aberdeen from national champ Florida, mo d from a final four team Alabama. Year before Robinson, carr when healthy, brea were all pretty good players, and butler played on championship game...ignorance is showing , yeah he hasn't done great with freshmen but done decent with portal.

Get Juke, Vaaks, and a dynamic PG, a stretch 4, and good passing/defensive big.
Harris is "ok", a good but not a great portal entrant.
He scores 21ppg a lot because of volume 7.5 3's and 7.6 2's attempted per game. He also attempts 7.1 FTs (which is good, the more the better on those). As for his efficiency, he made 55.5% of his 2's which is pretty good (4% higher than Oweh), but made only 33.2% of his 3's (similar to Oweh 33.3%). Given the volume of 3's (2X as many as Oweh) you would prefer he shoot less of those.

I don't get the huge appeal some have of Vaaks? He made 51.7% of his (3.9/gm) 2's, and 35% of his (8.4/gm) 3's. I'm ok adding one or the other, but not both. We need at least 1 guy to be a 40%+ (or at least 38%+) 3pt shooter, and neither of these come close. Now if they did something else really well, like were all-defensive players, then that carries some weight.

Not to mention how ignorant it is suggesting that mid-major players can't be elite players.

I prefer Neoklis Avadalas more than Vaaks can play 3 positions and averaged I believe 5 assists a game at 6’9 but would take all 3

I don't see a wing player better than him out there.
He's a borderline first rounder.
He's also entering so you won't get a decision from him until May.
I'd say he's 50/50.
I like Harris' rebound numbers.
Tells me he's an active player who doesn't just stand around and jack up three's.

We have no chance at top ten portal players or high school they do not want to play for Pope and will not agree to the jmi contract stipulations. Ky fans might as well start accepting reality and stop hoping for a miracle turn around perception of Pope and this screwed up jmi contract it simply isn't gonna happen!!!
