Little brother loading up while Pope is asleep!

[Dward13]

Kelsey cleaned up in the portal last year too. He’s showing he can get the guys everyone wants.

That said i’d pump the breaks on fear mongering over Louisville.

They paid top dollar for both. Rumored to be 9 million for the combo.

Something to keep in mind, Self has been really good at getting the most out of his centers over the years. Hes made quite a few look better than they really were. Bidunga has no offense outside of dunks and lobs and is only 6’9. More than adequate for a college center but not exactly imposing.

He’s not Alex Condon or Ruben Chinyelu.

Shelstadt shot 39/31/86 last year as a (generously listed) 6 foot point guard.

And Kelsey blew 2/3rds his NIL spend already and still has to field a team. This is comical people think they’ve done something with these 2 signings and spending 8.5 million on them.

You know this how?

KSR+ had said Duke from the get. Definitely, happy Bidunga went to little brother.

Definitely a better place for sure, I hope they don’t get Blackwell. He is a senior. The type of guard who could possibly not choke too when it matters.

You’ll always hear me give the same answer when it comes to Louisville. Historically, a B+ program. Not a threat, not a real rival. Don’t care what they do.

He's not Moreno either. He didn't come here because he don't want to set the bench backing up Malachi

It’ll either be a great 48 hours or a very bad 48 hours. Let’s hope for the former.

Monday is going to be huge. Goodman says we are the favorite for Wright. Maybe it makes sense why Zoom didn’t commit. Didn’t want to run a two PG or combo guard role? Either way we need to lock up Wright and Stokes Monday. Do that and I will get behind Pope for next season. We need a huge portal haul. LFG.

They are definitely a rival. Little brother for sure. Guarantee people would have a hard time picking a win over them or Duke/UNC/UConn in a poll. Let’s say a F4 match up. Nobody would want to lose to them.

Tr

Jeez, BOTH

He may be the best defensive big/rim protector in all CBB next season. I’d say that’s a pretty special thing to have in the middle of your lineup.

As much as we’d like to downplay it, getting BOTH of those guys is HUGE for UL. They should be really good.

True, but you would think the number one transfer portal center would be a little bit better offensively He's never shown signs of being a good offensive player

To me, they don’t rival sh*t —

Kentucky 40
Louisville 17

They are in the same state and don’t like each other. That’s as far as it goes for me.

If they are a rival to you and the rest of BBN, that’s your right. They aren’t to me whatsoever.

 

[ParadiseKy]

. They aren’t to me whatsoever.

Yeah we can tell

 

[Bowfreak.]

Good players. Really good gets but their haul last year was better.

 

[BIGBLUE_MAILMAN]

Wow! All of you hating on UofL while they’re landing trophies, while Pope has that squinting look on his face, with zilch from the portal, are a special breed of losers!

Don’t be making wine with your sour grapes, man up and admit UK is Little Brother now!

You all were warned multiple times, this was going to happen! Every coach in the game has the goods on Pope on the recruiting trail, so don’t act surprised, that he’s going to end up with the leftovers!

You are getting that 3rd season, warts and all!

This isn’t gonna age well

 

[ZaytovenCat]

I’m good with this. Another year of UL beating us like a stepchild, in Rupp this time, will certainly getting Pope’s *** outta here. All works out in the end.

 

[tls]

Bidunga will be shocked at the fouls he gets called for next year .. Those Allen Field House refs aren't walking thru that door

 

[mdluk1]

Looks like they are leading for Blackwell too

 

[#1 cat fan]

.

He is. Arguably the best big in the transfer portal.

Yea. Wait and see how great he does.
He will probably avg 14 or 15 and 8
I think u of L had a better team this year honestly

Now THAT would be huge. But I don’t believe it yet. Blackwell may very well be the best guard available. But he’s going to come with a near equally high price tag to bidunga. and should certainly demand more than shelstadt.

Louisville gonna spend more on their roster than we did last season.

 

[Bluegrass79]

Loserville.........not them Again. Why Lord why?

I guess it cant always be 8-28 and 2nd round losses.


Coach Poop better do something or its time for the Charmin.

Maybe Pope counters with Stokes and Wright signing tomorrow ... we'll see ...
