ROB STOKES FREEMAN Monday news
- Thread starter BIGBLUE_MAILMAN
- Start date
Accurate. Only pushback I'd give you is, I think he absolutely has a care as to where he goes. Granted, I think ZERO of that has to do with the education piece of it. My guess is the coach and surrounding cast play a role in all of that. But I don't think there's any chance his handlers let him go anywhere that the money isn't at least close to the top offer. But hell, that happens all over sports.
Did Ryan agree with anything Matt had to say ?
Couple notes on portal guards we're tied to:
Furman G Alex Wilkins is visiting UConn today. Supposed to visit Kentucky later this week. Pope likes him enough to fly to South Carolina this past weekend so losing him to UConn with Demary/Ball/Mullins returning wouldn't be a great look. I think Pope prefers him over Diallo but not for sure. Things have been quiet with Diallo for days.
Utah G Terrence Brown expected to commit to UNC during his visit but hasn't happened yet. Supposed to visit Kentucky on Friday. Other blue bloods also in the mix.

X is drunk today but just read that Stokes was going to take a few more weeks... who knows but sounds about right.... he just wanted that Lexingtonian Salad from Malones and some grooming.
If he prefers KU then move on!!!
That's like baggin a 10 who has no real interest in you. Sure, it looks nice and feels good in the moment but what are you investing for some action. You gonna waste all your time and resources. Get a loyal 7 or 8, heck in this case get 2 or 3.

Build a base. If Stokes is still undecided by Friday use the extra NIL to secure the other priority targets. This ain’t long division!!!
No reason we shouldn't get Reibe or Gwath, or someone at center
2 of Wright, Zoom, Wilkins, Cox, or Zoom at guards
An elite shooter
Freeman or Goode at forwards
If it keeps on raining the levee's goin break.

What did Moreno show that forecast a final 4 caliber center? I see serviceable
Wife an 8, bang a 10. Stokes is only going to be here eight months so it's only a fling anyway.If he prefers KU then move on!!!

Sadly I agree. We need a starting center. I love MM, but I’m afraid he isn’t going to be the guy to get us to a final four. Hope I’m wrong.
Freshmen get better.
They do. And if Moreno were in the Portal where do you think he would rank in regard to Centers and what top programs needing a Center wouldn't being trying to land him?
What happened to 2 pm for Wright? Punt....punt.....punt....MISS!
"A few more weeks". Whatever dude, get out of here and commit to KU as we all know you will. Ridiculous.
He definitely hasn't committed anywhere yet, UNC most likely lands him. Michigan was the early leader but aren't anymore.
The most noncommittal get our hopes up with no proof comment of the day...
"I think there could be a commitment before the day is over."
So, someone who does not know for a fact stated he THINKS there COULD BE at a time that is BEFORE THE DAY IS OVER....
Well, I think @*Fox2Monk* could win the $58M POWERBALL jackpot tomorrow and self-fund the entire '26-'27 roster.
I sure would! I doubt that happens though. Just my luck. I figured a boom would have happened by now. Kinda scary.
If we don’t get Wright I will really start to worry.
Just trying to post it into existence for you!
Big difference between better than what we saw last year and a final four caliber center
Not many top ten teams would trade their starting center for Moreno. Definitely has value as a backup with growth potential
Jones said if we don't sign Wright by tomorrow it's not looking good. But who knows.
If Pope whiffs on Zoom, Stokes, Wright, Freeman, this board will be like Hieroshima
As it should be honestly.
Is this the case with all the UK recruits? UK throws them the biggest bag, but anyone who is looking out for what is best is telling them to go the other way? What the heck is going on? Pope's destiny will be determined by the end of the portal period. If he swings and misses enough times, you can prestamp his pink slip.
Jeebus H Christobol! This is getting crazy. It’s testing my newfound belief.
Agree. And there will be those Popepumpers who will tell us we are being negative lol
I mean Hurley > Pope.
He has a better chance at a title with Hurley than Pope. If that is what he wants more than money.
If all that happens, they’ll be far fewer of them than you think.
I don't think Moreno will be - or likely should be - a back up next season at UK given the available Centers. As to the these top ten teams you're referring to, I guess you're saying they don't need a Center. But, out of curiosity, who are the Centers on these top ten teams?
