Scuttlebutt: Zoom Diallo and Dedan Thomas together

[Blue till I die]

A few people on X are posting scoop that Pope is close to getting Zoom Diallo and Dedan Thomas to both come to Kentucky.

I'm not so sure this is a good combo. Neither of them are great shooters. Call me crazy, but I think we need great shooters to run Popes offense.

What "people on X"?

 

[philstat]

I could see this happening, concerned DT will be on the bench a lot, nursing “injuries” par the course at this point.

It's a reputable source. There are reasons I can't post it here.

Dark Pope

 

[seccats04]

I was hoping for Diallo and Wright, since he can shoot the three well. Wall and Bledsoe if you will.

going to miss on both

Drummond mentioned it as a possibility on HOB.

 

[FitchandMurray29]

I’ll believe it when I see it. Though I’m extremely confident one of Wright/Zoom/Dedan is here next year.

We don’t need both of those guys. We need shooters.

 

[UKBB4Ever]

Well, we have to get somebody.

Might as well be them.

 

[Prince is STILL KING!]

This would be a major win for UK and staff if it happens! This also means there will be a ton of disgruntled UK “fans” who will spew negativity for the next few weeks. Worth it IMO.

That negativity will come through on any topic discussed here.

Doesn't matter who we sign as some of the trolls will spew negativity regardless. Just the truth

I'm extremely confident we're a FF contender. Pope has got his sea legs now. 25-26 was a one off

 

[TigerMoving]

I'd gladly take both. Shooters or not at least they are capable players which might be hard to come by for us.

Wall and bledsoe both were bad shooters

Wouldn’t shock me. People are now saying Arizona is in on Zoom now?

We could sign the number 1 portal team and the narrative will immediately switch to bagging on the coaching.

Agree
Could play them together and play more pressing up tempo game, hopefully to get some quick, easy points from defense

 

[FitchandMurray29]

That negativity will come through on any topic discussed here.

It’s for any and every player, here’s the playbook for current names:

Wright: overpaid mercenary, doesn’t impact winning
Stokes: doesn’t want to be here, overpaid
Diallo: can’t shoot
Dedan: injured
Paulius: not athletic enough
Freeman: Pope needs a stretch 4
Avdalas: can’t shoot, just tall
Cox: Colgate, omg Pope is killing the program
Hill: a guy who couldn’t start for VCU? Where are the studs!?!?
Brown: can’t shoot scorer off a bad team. These people will also weirdly make the connection to him randomly playing at Utah

On and on lol

Then could go after the kid from Colorado

I just looked at your posts and you aren't even trying to hide the fact that you are here to do absolutely nothing but troll. Sadly, you're almost surely a regular poster here such as runninbichy.

[tinfoil]

If Diallo is comitting it should be announced tonight! IF?

Your last account trolled, the one before that, etc. Get a life.

Really you are comparing a #1 draft pick and a really good tough player in Bledsoe to 2 portal players in Diallo and Wright? Man, I'm telling you with some of you people these days...

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Being said that Diallo and Wright would be the first option. Then Diallo and Thomas. The former would be incredible.

Bledsoe wasn’t a bad shooter. Lmao

So many trolls on here. It’s wayyyy worse than the old board ever was.

 

[LadyCaytIL]

Bledsoe shot 38% from 3pt range for us on 3.5 attempts a game.

All the dirtiest players in the game all in one room.

people seem to be under the impression wall, cousins and anthony davis will be in the portal. these guys are still in college and not the NBA because they are imperfect.

Parody accounts

 

[Katscratch]

Pope apparently has Zoom Diallo at the horse track. Exactly where a 20 year old hooper does not want to be.

WTF is he thinking? What a dumb *** bad recruiter.

How did that work out in the tournament
