If true then we need to lock up Wilkins, he & diallo would be a nice backcourt.Sounds like Cruz Davis to Texas Tech also.
I’m never not gonna find these funny until he starts landing some first choices.
40% from the field is worse than most 5’9 point guards. And the SEC is the most physical conference in NCAA. Dude is garbage.Saying Rancik is ***. Complaining he "only" gets 5.6 boards per game, when that is more than anyone on this years team except Moreno with just over 6. Kid averaged over 12 ppg, shot 33% from three and 86% from the line. If you think thats "***" as a soph, you might want to stick to Rasslin analysis
OK fella. I can't fix stupid40% from the field is worse than most 5’9 point guards. And the SEC is the most physical conference in NCAA. Dude is garbage.
No and probably not in the top 5 at each position that’s what we need now or we will lose 18-20 games at this rateIs UK recruiting any of the top ten ranked guys in the portal?
Whiff Wars Strikes Back
I wonder why UK never went after Juke Harris? Guy is a stud.No and probably not in the top 5 at each position that’s what we need now or we will lose 18-20 games at this rate
Pope is smart enough not to even tryI wonder why UK never went after Juke Harris? Guy is a stud.
I’m assuming it’s because he is listed as a SF and Pope has visions of Stokes playing the 3. Basically being held hostage.I wonder why UK never went after Juke Harris? Guy is a stud.
Have no clue and absolutely a stud doesn’t matter if we get stokes or not we have nothing complimenting himI wonder why UK never went after Juke Harris? Guy is a stud.
This is top level!.
Matt Jones said that Robert Wright had no problem with the deal Kentucky was offering him, JMI, his agent didn't like the NIL deal so he told Wright to not take it. I'm paraphrasing but it's something to that effect. Lots of people blame Pope for missing out on players & that may be part of it, however, sounds like the JMI thing may be true? I really don't know but I wish someone could make them talk about the NIL stuff. Everyone says it works for football, well, maybe JMI thought they could make more money from controlling the basketball deals? Something has to change.Money isn’t the issue. We have offered them all more than anyone.
Lexington is almost 3 times as large as Bloomington.Bloomington is a great college town with many attractions for recruits. Indiana just won the Football Natty & Heisman Trophy. The coaches son greets them at the airport in a Benz SUV .Walking around the campus is a recruiting tool. Assembly Hall is legendary. Coaches let students show recruits around campus & local hot spots.
Ky has to drive them downtown to Empty Rupp & the to Racetrack where the BluBloods hang. If I’m a young millionaire in a new place - Where do I want to be.
Players simply aren’t interested in what CMP is selling. We gotta accept that the most obvious problem is the answer.Matt Jones said that Robert Wright had no problem with the deal Kentucky was offering him, JMI, his agent didn't like the NIL deal so he told Wright to not take it.

There is no truth at all to JMI being a problem. if anything it's an asset. matt jones will do anything to blame JMI.Matt Jones said that Robert Wright had no problem with the deal Kentucky was offering him, JMI, his agent didn't like the NIL deal so he told Wright to not take it.

That might be the corniest thing I’ve ever witnessed. No wonder why you like Pope.so funny. very funny. same joke over and over. You are upper tier.
your crying is the corniest things I have ever witnessed. Are you going to cry into your alcohol tonight? You probably are going to worship your danny hurley poster. No wonder you don't like kentucky because you are a bandwagon fan. Only got good things to say when we are good.That might be the corniest thing I’ve ever witnessed. No wonder why you like Pope.
The kid from Colorado is better for the teamJust what is being reported. Apparently we offered Freeman 2.5M which was 1.5 million more than UConn. They said his agent wanted at least 1.5M at least from UConn, but they wouldn’t budge.
I think Sherrell and Burton from ND are good signings.Yea 6 players that if we had signed everyone would be panicking. Lots of schools have signed 0-1 people, top schools at that. There’s no panic for me when we are setting good with most of our top targets still. We actually miss on them all then I may worry but we have literally missed on one and he pivoted back to our option 1 and got him. The unreal pessimism and hatred on this board this week is kind of scary if you ask me. No one letting anything play out, I get this season sucked but we have a good chance at our best lineup in 7+ years.
It's pretty much the only reason Rancik cancelled his Indiana visit and came here instead. Kind of tells you a lot when Indiana found a better player.I think Sherrell and Burton from ND are good signings.
Sounds good. Maybe we squeak out a berth in the Sweet 16.Watched Colorado play a few games this year & they had 3 really good players - this kid - Johnson the guard who I believe signed with Texas - their 7ft beast Center who is also in the portal.
We need the “Colorado kid” - he fits Pope’s agenda. Think Andrew Carr 2.0
No superstars are coming to Ky but Blue Collar full contact 4 yr players will. Give me 5 Butlers, Amador,Williams & Goose‘s every time over 5 Shoe contract millionaire$.
Kentucky Will Abide.
NOBODY WANTS TO PLAY FOR POPE. THIS IS A POPE PROBLEM NOT A UK PROBLEM. HE IS RUINING THE NAME ON THE FRONT OF THE JERSEY.Money isn’t the issue. We have offered them all more than anyone.
WHAT ARE YOU STUPIDThe kid from Colorado is better for the team
Curious how you know what anyone was offered outside of random tweets by people who have and give no sourcesMoney isn’t the issue. We have offered them all more than anyone.
Pope's weirdo behavior is scaring these guys away.Now Davis is off the board. Lolthis is getting bad.
Let me guess someone offered less money? Where did he go?Now Davis is off the board. Lolthis is getting bad.
Davis was going to be a bench piece for us. He was the 4th guard option. Sure sucks he signed elsewhere but it’s not like he was a must get priority like Wilkins is.Pope's weirdo behavior is scaring these guys away.
This is pathetic.
