    Najai Hines will enter the Portal

    I believe this is the Center we need to pair with Moreno. He's a guy I posted about last year and hoped UK would go after. I would guess the problem for UK may be he's looking for an open spot at Center, but then again he had that for next season at Seton Hall and left. He's got good hands and...

    Jasper Johnson to the Portsl

    Well that's what he's listed at - and not just by UK. I don't know of any reason Johnson has been singled out to inflate his height. And if all the players have their height inflated doesn't that make it all relative and thus irrelavent anyway? But I don't care, whatever you want to say his...

    Acaden Lewis hits the portal

    I had hoped Lewis would be UK’s starting PG as a SOPHOMORE. If he enters the portal I guess it’s possible I could get my wish. But I wonder how Pope feels about him now. The narrative was that Lewis decommitted because Lowe was a JR and he was concerned he’d have to play backup for 2 years. But...

    No problem. You had me scratching my head trying to figure out what was wrong - cause I am a lot.

    ***Final Four Thread***

    Gameday: What does IL and UConn need to do in this game? Calipari: You know they gotta figure out . . like how this thing’s going to go? I mean, come on, now. My guys know . . . How bout this: You gotta make shots. We make a few more and we’re here. But they’re good teams.

    Jasper Johnson to the Portsl

    I don't know how much Pope felt the pressure - my guess would be a lot - but can you imagine the talk if Pope had not landed Johnson. I bet Pope could imagine it. Heck it was already out there before Johnson committed, e.g., "Well, if Pope can't even land Johnson. . . "

    Eubeka Okorie Stanford ALL ACC PG entering the Portal

    I don't think Duke will, but I get the others you mentioned - especially if Wright from BYU enters the Portal.

    Eubeka Okorie Stanford ALL ACC PG entering the Portal

    Then I guess we'll find out whether they're willing to expend them for a college basketball player, because if not him who?

    Jasper Johnson to the Portsl

    3 years at a minimum would be my guess, and he may never make it. But others apparently saw the "potential" for him to play in the NBA. Not real easy to see ahead to that at the present, but he could and I hope he does.

    Jasper Johnson to the Portsl

    I don't understand. All I can go by is what he's listed at. If the height of all the players is inflated then I guess it's relative.

    Lowe to Louisville....?

    I think he'll probably hang 20+ on a couple of teams next season, but will his efficiency be significantly better than at Pitt? That's the question for me - that and whether he can stay healthy (e.g., the shoulder will probably feel fine well before the season starts, but how many times does he...

    Garrison to the portal

    I hope that was Pope's thinking, although I'd guess he wasn't as direct. Maybe he even told them he wanted them back with certain understandings.

    Jasper Johnson to the Portsl

    I’m not sure it’s correct to say Johnson was overrated by recruiting services. Those services mainly rate players based on future NBA potential – especially at the top of the rankings – rather than expected production as a college freshman. In Johnson’s case he is a long 6’5” with good perimeter...

    President Trump signs executive order aimed at college sports, targeting transfers and eligibility

    Nobody needs to fight it because it's a performative act. It's for show, and is not enforceable. Now if it has the effect of spurring Congress into actually passing a constitutionally valid law then great.
