Interesting. McBride needs to work on his defense all summer
McBride alone put our transfer portal ranking all the way up to 15th now for all the doom and gloomers. Diallo, Wilkins and McBride are good pieces for our system, now we need 2 more high quality pieces.
Didn't you say top 3? Or Is this another one of your insider scoops that goes bust?
McBride was an important stretch 4 for Pope. After last year and not recruiting one, this is a key piece to something.
Oregon just picked up another transfer guard in Fred Payne. I wonder what the Johnsons think about Oregon's crowded backcourt - Payne, Easter, Ariza, Riley, and Johnson.
It must be nice. Right now we have 2 playable guards on the roster.
Just wanted to post this to show how Kansas’ potential starting 5 is taking shape. I’m no expert, but this isn’t anything to salivate over.
Our backcourt would be at best a wash with them. And that’s being optimistic. We have no one near Stokes talent wise on our roster. Dawes is better than any 4 man we have. The only edge we would have is Moreno. We need a big time talent at the wing or the 4. Badly.

All this for a 6'8 backup center who averaged 8 points and 3 rebounds.
I'm just so over it. You fly 16 hours and can't get the commitment. Hell, Pope will probably have to fly back to beg him.
Gotta have a roster I guess. I’m not sold on this guy, but this is what happens when you literally strike out on everyone.
Not Transfer Portal related, but still recruiting related. I am curious as to why we seem to not be in on Jalen Wingfield. Recruit who decommited from Georgia Tech on March 19th. Ferocious rebounder/ defender from Atlanta at the 4 who comes in at 6'8" 225. #107 player on 247 (I know, we only want Top 25 talent...but we are not getting it). Hopefully while Mo was in Atlanta for the Stokes circus he set up a clandestine meeting. Seems like the kind of player who could develop into the MoD type role.
"This past season, he averaged 14.1 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks as a senior. He led the Bulldogs to the semifinals before an 85-76 loss to the eventual state champion Alexander. He finished with seven double-doubles and had his best game against Langston Hughes, finishing with a 20-20 game. Wingfield recorded 20 points and 20 rebounds." - Four-Star Commit Jalan Wingfield Requests Release From Yellow Jackets | Will Reopen Recruitment

Been an overall disappointing portal season for us. We just don't have a clear star on this team.

There’s been a lot of talk about Boskania G/F Stefan Joksimovic, and questions on his eligibility issues, questions if Kentucky has even reached out at all, etc. im gonna post some of what I’ve been told by multiple sources now from stateside, and then international side, that has knowledge of his recruitment. But There is so much different information, from different sources, with agent/team tactics, on top of how quickly things change in this game, so I’m not making this post to directly refute any one person let me be absolutely clear, I’m just passing along what I’ve been told on this situation from people who would know more than I do. - Stefan is Not expected to have any eligibility issues. at the worst, he’ll just be rushing to finish up online classes through the spring/early summer like many other International prospects do in the same situation, but could push a possible commitment into the summer. - Kentucky has had contact with Stefan Joksimovic. It’s Fair to say the Tyran Stokes recruitment likely delayed Kentucky to show serious interest at that time, and it’s possible they aren’t involved at this very moment, but I have been told UK had reached out. - I can’t say what Kentucky’s interest level in Stefan is at this time of course, but sources I’ve talked to say if the starting wing is open, and the NIL offer is strong, Kentucky would be seriously considered by Stefan Joksimovic. College has been the plan for him. But again, Things could always change. Asked a source the potential he comes to college in 27’ instead? “If he stays in Europe, plays even a slightly bigger role than he did this year he’ll be NBA Bound Next Season, won’t be a 2027 Option” Some quotes from sources I’ve talked to. *On Kentucky having no contact with Stefan + eligibility issues* “I have not heard that at all, hes had contact with many schools at this point, always heard Kentucky was 1 of them.” “I’ve been told Kentucky has at the very least reached out, was told months ago they were interested and watching. he also follows 3 UK Assistant Coaches, and they follow him” “Other teams could be further along, I have heard he’s already had some zoom calls, but I wouldn’t believe Kentucky hasn’t reached out at all” “I’ve been told he’s eligible, so not sure” “If he isn’t in college next season, it won’t be due to eligibility, they’ve talked seriously with atleast 10 schools and continue to engage, you’ll probably see a few coaches out at the U18’s just for him” I don’t know for a fact Kentucky is getting re involved with Stefan, even though it genuinely makes the most sense right now, but I do think we more than likely see Stefan in college next season, these top International Prospects are getting BIG $ offers.

This guy is our only realistic hope at a game changer. If Pope doesn't get seriously involved with him he should be thrown out the door. Pope was so up Stoke's *** he didn't know what was going on.

Another miss by Pope? Shocking....
*If nothing else* I do like the personality makeup of who we've brought in better than last year. Transfers seem to be humble and hungry (ex McBride's quote above). The international guys seem to have a positive rep for having played basketball as a job before.
No comment on the talent level, but at the very least it seems like we won't be laying down like dogs while a mediocre Gonzaga team blasts us by 40 this year.

we have moreno, potter, and the guy who averaged 8 and change did it in a top tier euroleague. Ones who complain about euroleague and kids from euroleague don't know euroleague basketball. also same get excited about freshmen who probably next year won't pan out. First year in many that freshmen were top tier. Michigan won it all without much freshmen help.
