    Byrd Update on KSR+

    There's really no "good" information as far as who we're targeting at this point. You can't outwardly say you're targeting anyone before the portal opens. It's tampering. Everyone's doing it. No one can admit it. I know KSR has posted "Kentucky expected to be interested..." But there...

    Acaden Lewis hits the portal

    It becomes difficult to take someone seriously when you present things this way. The only step above Acaden Lewis is Magic or Stockton? I'm hoping for Isiah Johnson, Ebuka Okore if he enters, Alex Wilkins, Dedan Thomas, even Bizjack. Again, it's easy to look at Lewis's overall numbers and...

    Acaden Lewis hits the portal

    I mean, I get it. But if he strikes out again this year and has to settle, his fate will be sealed. I'm still largely of the belief that the original KSR article was the most likely thing. Pope didn't think he had to/didn't want to be in bidding wars. Pope got emotional. You've gotta...

    Acaden Lewis hits the portal

    After digging more into his stats and gamelogs, he's definitely not top 5 even today. The 3 point shooting is obviously a concern. But I'm willing to give some there IF you can score the ball at a high level elsewhere (See Juke Harris). Lewis padded his stats vs weaker competition. He...

    Acaden Lewis hits the portal

    All of the good, proven PG's will.

    Acaden Lewis hits the portal

    As someone else said, the early chatter is Texas or Miami. We might be able to get in on him. He's probably a top 5 PG in the portal. Edit: Upon further review, he's not a top 5 PG today even. Do not want. If he comes to Kentucky, it needs to be as a backup PG. And we saw how that went...

    Eubeka Okorie Stanford ALL ACC PG entering the Portal

    Yeah, I'm not seeing where anyone has indicated he plans to enter the portal. If he does, he's 1 of the top PG's in the portal. I hope Pope goes after him aggressively.

    Jaland Lowe IG response

    Things may be going on behind the scenes. But What do you think the PG that was told to go ahead and enter the transfer portal is going to say?

    Are we going to have a team?

    Fans: These players suck. Pope failed building this roster. Same fans: OMG, WE'RE LOSING ALL OF OUR PLAYERS. WILL WE EVEN HAVE A TEAM?! WHY HASN'T POPE ADDED ANYONE?!?!

    POLL: How Many Starters Do We HAVE to ADD to the ROSTER ??

    4. I think Moreno is very likely to be a rock solid Center in year 2. I've made the comparison in other threads this year. His Freshman points and rebound numbers were double what Sophomore Nick Richards did. Richards came back as a Junior and became an All-SEC player. If Moreno hits the...

    Mark Pope needs to rescind the Tyran Stokes offer immediately

    People saying we need to pull his offer and this is taking too long... Am I crazy or aren't there recruits that decide in April every year? We've seen guys commit at the McDonald's All-American Game, Jordan Brand Classic, and Nike Hoops Summit for years now. I can see the quote now. Stokes...

    Brett Decker

    Yup. It's all about cost and role. I think he'll have a lot of high majors sniffing around and promising more money and minutes than what we'll commit to. I think he can be a very good bench piece. I think he'll prefer to go somewhere and start. And I hope we target more complete guards for...

    KU’s Bidunga to the portal

    Yep. This has been the chatter on Twitter for months. Kansas fans are annoyed, but they're not surprised at it.

    Lloyd staying at Arizona

    This. I've said this for probably 3 years now. Always felt like he wanted to be out west. Didn't think he'd take Kentucky. Didn't think he'd take UNC. He's had an amazing run at Arizona, and probably has the resources to compete every year. Maybe he'd consider Gonzaga. Maybe if he wants...

    I wonder if Nike has gotten involved in the Stokes KY-Kansas recruitment ?

    I don't think it's really ever been about Self vs Pope or Kentucky vs Kansas. I think he likes Self and their staff better than Pope. We've heard that all along. Self has a way better track record. I think he likes Nike better than Adidas. He signed with them. Nike is THE brand. Nike...
