Zoom is going to be fine. Kepnang will serve his purpose. 3-5 mins a half max. People love to jump off the deep end too quick. Jax played horrible at uk for a while then got going. He was treated same as zoom too. Amari was as well. Collin was blasted for 2 years then he leaves people claimed he was a huge loss.
Yes, but don't forget zoom and kepnang too
Can't just see the good without the bad

I’m going to assume none of these kids come here unless we hire their dad, coach, or from KY
...or they play HS ball in KY. I hate to say it, trends do become fact at some point. For the sake of the program, I hope a new trend starts with the next class.

I think with Pope we are full on portal shoppers with bags of cash.
We did get the Hampton kid, maybe he proves us wrong.

Cal is smart. He probably canceled it himself knowing he’s going to BYU. He’s coming to UK so Pope will offer ludicrous money and make BYU up their offer. That’s a trend for players now.
Sometimes I wonder if Pope isn’t helping BYU get these guys. Mormons are weird like that. Marc Hill, a Mormon is how we got Pope in the first place. They always helping each other out for the sake of Mormonism.

If that’s the case and it may well be the situation. I’d bid up the price to punish BYU. Make them pay through the nose.

it’s easy to say this because it’s not my money but sooner or later we have to punch back on this kinda crap.

Got Milan and Wilkins in portal somehow.
I am asking because I really do not know, but is getting Wilkins in the portal really that big of a deal? I mean he was playing at Furman. Getting a kid to leave Furman for UK should not be that hard. I give him credit for getting Milan. He had a bag full of cash and everyone else had already said no, but Pope closed the deal on Milan.

Oats wanted Wilkins bad. That was the competition for him. Milan was a huge get and we got him just like everyone gets recruits. Money money money.

I won’t give that dude the time of day! Doesn’t deserve an “ignore”, but doesn’t deserve a response, because there’s zero chance he’s a fan of the team, more of a cheerleader for the underdog.
Because I don’t constantly bash all things Kentucky basketball I’m not a fan. Makes sense. I pull for Kentucky in every sport win or lose. Not a bandwagon or fair weather.

Sounds to me like Pope is the smart one then . If he’s making BYU spend more money. And if Cal was so smart we wouldn’t have been a hat on the table for the dozens of recruits he lost to Duke .
