    With Cal, UK was at least part of the story (recruiting/draft). Feels like we're starving now on all fronts.

    We are suffering from hype withdrawal. Withdrawal symptoms hit hard when going cold turkey after over a decade on the offseason recruiting juice. Admitting it was a problem is the first step on the road to recovery.

    BB: Allen Graves update

    I would guess is NBA or LSU for Graves. IIRC, he entered the portal with a “do not contact” tag. Chance the picture is different this late into the process. We seem to be in a decent spot for Milan if he chooses to return. UL and St. John’s has spread some cash around already.

    Hey man! This year might have been disappointing, but at least Wagner is coming! He's the dawg at PG the team sorely lacked! That was just about every single season under Cal since 2015. The program was on the precipice of being saved by a new collection of recruits. What did it amount to? An...

    Trent Noah

    Noah is a low usage, low mistake player. Basically, he doesn’t do much obvious harm by taking and missing a ton of shots or turning it over a lot. He plays within his limits. Playing with play making guards hopefully will improve his shooting efficiency. He’s already proven to be capable on the...

    Moreno Trending First Round

    Moreno was one of the most productive freshman centers last season and would’ve been one of the top 10 most coveted players in the portal if he entered. He’s a good and young player expected to improve.

    Love the dude but...

    Amari Williams was pretty good. I’d rate him ahead of Oweh.

    Kentucky 13th in 247.com 2026 Transfer Portal Tankings

    LSU is ahead of us with 1 transfer in, our former player, and 13 out lol

    Kentucky 13th in 247.com 2026 Transfer Portal Tankings

    We are lacking a degree of continuity and an influx of freshman talent. Transfer ranking is fine if we returned Chandler and had another source of talent incoming. Instead, Pope is rolling the dice with some players, Wilkins and Ousmane specifically.

    Louisville

    If there isn’t a cap, there are still financial constraints. Regardless of pay, the GM still spearheads building the roster and all that entails. They talk to agents, fundraise, and create an offseason strategy for building a roster while the coach focuses on the day to day team needs while in...

    The Center spot ???

    Moreno was second in the nation out of all freshman centers in BPM. In the SEC, he ranked 3rd in BPM. He is a legit threat to be all conference first team at the position next season. Given his age, position, and production as a freshman, he would’ve been one of the most coveted players in the...

    Please, without being nasty, explain to me why our recruiting efforts are almost beyond belief ?

    Mitch and crew have been here since the program started declining post 2015. Common denominator is them. The last two seasons haven’t been appreciably different than the 2018 season and later collectively. The only difference is the false hope of a brighter tomorrow that a highly rated...

    Please, without being nasty, explain to me why our recruiting efforts are almost beyond belief ?

    Pat Kelsey is “relatable?” Coach K at 80 was “relatable.” What is that even supposed to mean? Pope, like all these kids, dreamt of playing in the NBA and did, albeit briefly. How’s that any less relatable than any other coach? What do other coaches do? Do they laugh at the same Tik Tok videos...

    For people saying Pope can't relate to recruits..

    I think the “relate” to recruits is nonsense. Like, do should we expect Pope to sit on Discord with them and play Roblox? If anything players want trust. They want to trust their coach and his decisions for them and their future. Bob Knight wasn’t pulling in top players because he was...

    Please, without being nasty, explain to me why our recruiting efforts are almost beyond belief ?

    We are poorly organized. It has been obvious the last couple years but goes back to the 2010’s under Cal. The program has been surviving merely on momentum/rep built from the early 2010 revival. We went from brief stay at the top to being surpassed by up and comers like Gonzaga, Virginia, and...

    Torvik Preaseason

    We will most likely be better in the frontcourt compared to last season. Moreno should be better than last season. It’s not a high bar for any potential starting/backup big to be superior to Jelavic/BG. Moreno is positioned to be extremely productive. Some polish on ball security and/or making...
