This is dumb as heck. Wilkins (IMO) is our 2nd best transfer outside of Mom. I like Wilkins better than Zoom as the guy with the ball in his hands and kinda hope Mark Pope lets him play lead guard most offensive sets.
I like Wilkins better than Zoom as well and think he should have the ball in his hands but the problem with that is if Zoom is off the ball then he’s pretty much useless since he can’t shoot.

I’d be willing to wager a decent amount Jasper could put up those numbers on the 4th best team in the 23rd ranked conference in the country. Save me the UConn stuff. It’s a one off. He very well could be good. He could also be completely overwhelmed and suck or just be meh. The Southland or whatever little conference Furman is in is a HUGE jump to the SEC and the UK schedule. Wilkins is going to have to take a massive leap forward.
No chance. I think we all are glad he ran away and hopefully took his uncle. Shameful.

You must be related to Jasper the Quacker?

Yeah
That Jasper was awesome, and so was his Uncle. I will bet you that Wilkens wins more games at Kentucky, then Jasper does at Oregon.


Your not Jaspers Uncle are you?

Rupp Arena begins to rumble ...... " Starting at guard .... # five HUNDRED twentyyyyyyyyy oooooooooooone ! Mr. Alex Wilkins !!!

** crowd goes nuts**

bring it on and don't let 'em forget about it !

Go Big Blue ! ( I like how that sounds... we should lobby to give him jersey #521. To my limited knowledge, there is no #521 ever in Kentucky basketball history )

PS - If we can pay them, we can number them whatever, right ? I'd love to have a guy that could foul for us so Joe Lindsay can stand there counting on his fingers and toes until he could sign #7,897,923,018,115,693 for a foul !

what can I say, I am a glutton for punishment



I like it 521 😂

I don’t know have the stat to cite but if I remember correctly his catch-and-shoot numbers are actually pretty good for a guy not known as a shooter. Should help when he’s off-ball.

UConn was after him too, which I see as a pretty good sign after they got a front row look at him in Rnd 1.
Uconn had no where to put him but the bench. He's a Boston kid, I'll put 10 bucks he ends up there next year.

This ranking is stupid. He's going to be really good.

I think there’s a good chance he would have started at UConn. Solo Ball is redshirting to recover from offseason surgery so they don’t have an obvious third guard after Mullins and Demary.

Mullins is going to play the 2, his natural position. They have a 4 year senior at the 3, and a top frosh behind him. He wasn't going to start there, he would have come off the bench and become their starting PG next year.

Agreed. I think he’ll be good but inconsistent. He’s a young player. That said, anyone averaging 18 PPG in D1 can score. The 5xx rating is pretty ridiculous.
Agreed. But TBF, he admitted it was purely analytic based and heavily influenced by his extremely high turnover rate.

Eagles Ball you can go watch Oregon. Jasper wouldn't do **** even against crappy teams. There was a reason why Jasper turned the ball over whenever he got in the game and a guy like Wilkins' team made the NCAA tournament. You wanna bet who has better season next year since their both sophmores at big programs? Your Jasper's uncle aren't you? I was wondering who on this board was it.
Lol. Lord you people are strange. You’re as unhinged as his UNC is…just the other direction. Wilkins averaged almost 4 TOs / game. At Furman.

Sure watch them all. The last game of the season in the NCAAT against UConn bodes pretty damn well for his jump next season. Meanwhile, you continue to show your hate for all things Kentucky Basketball
It’s just a one game sample. It’s a good showing for sure. But he was wildly inconsistent all season in a really bad conference. That should be a huge concern if you’re paying attention.
No chance. I think we all are glad he ran away and hopefully took his uncle. Shameful.

Man you dudes are odd. My point wasn’t Jasper is good. Hell, I couldn’t stand to watch him. My point was it’s not that difficult to average 18 at Furman if you’ve got some game and get that level of usage.

For some perspective, Almonor averaged 16.4 at FDU. Comparable level schools and conferences. Do I think he will be better than Almonor was at UK? For sure. Am I ready to call this dude a stud because he hit a few shots on UConn and put 20 on them in the first round of the tourney? Yeah, negative. Cautiously optimistic.

More simple minds.

Again, had nothing to do with Jasper being good or bad or me wanting him to stay. Had EVERYTHING to do with putting up those numbers at Furman isn’t special. Again, Almonor scored 16.4 at a fairly comparable school/conference. That should at least give folks a bit of pause. It won’t, because you all are the same sheep that thought…1. Pope had an actual Ferrari. 2. That the 3rd team all ACC PG was the savior. 3. Some dude that averaged 9 at Tulane was a lotto pick. 4. Oweh was an AA. 5. JQ was coming back from ACL surgery in 6 months.

It’s amazing what you can get some folks to believe when they don’t have much knowledge of the topic at hand.

Wilkins has his bulletin board material for sure already this offseason. I really like how he plays. I think McBride is better than what he was ranked as well.
