FWIW . Someone that has had rock solid information on another board says that Stokes talked with some of our players after the Wilkins announcement. Again TIFWIW.
Wilkins to Kentucky!!
- Thread starter gtown965
- Start date
He might be the medicine Pope needed to takeMo looks damn good in that Kentucky hat, with that Kentucky player.
Thanks Mo, that's what we needed, some connection man
Most of that money is allocated specifically for him. UK doesn’t get it without him, or maybe another very high-level guy.
Yeah you're right. In my previous post I said we needed a back up PG, but for got when have Mason Williams as a back up PG.
We need one more SG, Freeman, Stokes and Rancik to finish the roster I think.
Needs to be paid well and given the keys to recruiting
If Hathorne is confident in his own skills, why would he care? The great players, should want to play with great players, and compete your a.ss off everyday to get better. I hope he turns out great, but he hasn't won us #9 yet, and maybe the change of his mind, was put there for money reasons. Play the game, play the game, play the gaaammme, anybody else hear that song
.
Anyone else already more excited about this new backcourt than Aberdeen and Oweh? Both better passers. At the very least as good defenders. Both better shooters especially in the midrange. And both interchangeable at the 1 and 2. I love this get.
Means nothing. He will leave if he feels his spot is crowded.
Pope has yet to prove he's on Golden's level
You are such a POS
People forget that Clayton was not highly sought after when he entered the portal.
Get Stokes and Freeman and lets roll
Going to need a back up center they may go international
I would definitely believe that actually because last week I heard from 2 separate high level recruits going elsewhere that Stokes was telling them it would be Kentucky. I typically stay away from speculative information but the tea leaves to me are aligned for Stokes to come here. I’d be surprised if he goes elsewhere but it’s been a weird recruitment so it’s possible.
I'm gonna root for whoever puts that jersey on and then complain when necessary. Welcome aboard! I just want to watch good basketball again. I seen glimmers of it in Popes 1st season but this last one was one of the least enjoyable for me overall in a while
We still need that shooter who can get his. Diallo can drive, Wilkins will need screens but can score at all three levels, freeman can get his as can Stokes if he comes so you still need another STUD who can take over. They gotta figure in foul trouble, injury sickness any unknown, probably international back up center/ big PF get cheap hopefully high out put
Might also be a better fit with the pieces already in place!
If Im Hawthorne i stay the course. Too many unknown variables still TBD.
1. You redshirted, so its still playing time for you here in the future. [ Stokes gone after freshman season] .
2. Are you truly ready for The SEC.. is he even 200lbs at this time?
3. You truly would benefit from the practice battle with the potential practice battle with this incoming squad.
I’m not really that connected to know exactly how many honestly. Besides Rancik/Freeman, we have another one coming in the next 2-3 days that might surprise a few folks. (Not Stokes) Although I think we do have a great chance at Stokes. Like I said, I’m not super connected or an insider but I’d put us at 75% UK for Stokes.
44% from 3 last season. He’d be the off the bench shooting threat we need.

Yes almost a guarantee IMO.
So you're saying he might come but he might not? Groundbreaking
