Other than Ky boys MM & JJ - I believe Braydon Hawthorne is the highest rated recruit of the Pope era. And he was from a very deep & talented 2026 class. If 5 in 5 had existed last year he would have played at least 12 minutes a game if not more.

Great point & certainly something to watch.
Ky has 14 scholarship players this year & only big Frank will be out of eligibility next year.
So if no one goes pro & or goes into portal, Ky will only have 2 scholarships to offer next year & one of those has already been offered & accepted by a...
Way fewer will get scholarships because of the extended eligibility for current players. It will help D2 & Junior College rosters tremendously. If I was a 2027 player , I would explore reclassifying now to take advantage of NIL & playing experience before the drought of scholarships next year.
Ky. Asst Coach or NBA Analyst? I take NBA Job
Lexington or Seattle? I take Seattle.
West Coast or MidWest? I take West Coast
Son‘s high school exposure in Washington State vs Ky? I take Washington State
Guarantee the Crawford Family wanted to stay in Seattle & Dad went along with it.
Might be a backup fit for SEC games because he had ACL Surgery in February & probably can go full speed by January if his knee heals according to schedule?
5 in 5 gives him 3 more years of eligibility. ReHab for his type of surgery is 8 to 12 months.
He‘s already jogging & doing weight training...
