    24/7 Final Top 150 Transfer Rankings…

    That is top 150…of transfers. Not inclusive of incoming freshman or other current players. Basically if a transfer player isn’t top 30 then best to manage expectations.

    “Midtucky” per Ant Wright

    No doubt Pope will work to get the most out of the new kids, but fans are going to need to seriously adjust expectations and understand it's a different type of player coming in to Kentucky now. TBD on how steep the learning curve will be. I get that HS rankings absolutely aren't the end all...

    Dickinson returning to KU

    Amassed a lot of talent? Do you mean just having a normal full roster? Gee, just like they used to do it in the good ol’ days. Wouldn’t that be nice.

    KU gets another top portal player (Update - Dickinson also announces his return)

    They lost that freshman pg because Self is bringing in all of these guys better than him. It was also mentioned in another thread that they are on verge of getting commit from top PG in 2025 class, so I'm sure he saw the writing on the wall. Also according to reports looks like HD is coming...

    KU gets another top portal player (Update - Dickinson also announces his return)

    What is even crazier and head scratching about Self's run through the portal is all of their guys last year came BACK. They lost one guy to the NBA and I think Macullar finally graduated, but that's it. So they return like 5 core guys and add another 4 in the portal plus some freshmen. I...

    SIAP but Labaron Philon decommits from Kansas

    Wonder if this relates to the smoke that KU may land the #1 pg in 2025 class. Wild world we live in now where nobody is guaranteed until they show up on the court, and even then they may transfer to the other team at halftime.

    I find myself more excited for Pope’s style of players vs Cal’s

    I will say being naive is still 100x better than Stonewall who is just straight up slinging filth in the Perry thread unapologetically. Stonewall…yah ok just put that one together.

    TJ Power contacted...

    As we have seen in some of the other threads here…let’s just say there are some posters who seem very happy with the shift in recruiting focus. It shouldn’t matter, but apparently does to some people still, sadly.

    Dude, your original post…wasn’t great. I genuinely don’t believe you had malicious intent, but naive racism is still racism. The only code word that was missing was “fundamentally sound” vs the athletic comment.

    lol, I mean…right?? Geez it is sad reading some of the characters that have shown themselves. It’s worse in the Perry thread. Think one poster said how excited he is to have some “good ol American boys” on the team.

    How are players getting multiple transfers?

    Recent court ruling essentially neutered any sort of “rules” the NCAA had left to enforce. This means we could see mid season transfers and guys playing immediately.

    Travis Perry is a CAT

    Geez, at least one other poster is willing to call this out. Maybe dial back the overt racism?

    Brea list

    KU thinks they are getting Griffen which would close the door here.

    Storr to Kansas

    Undoubtedly. It has been the way of big time programs for decades, and if you wanted to compete you were absolutely playing the game, including here at Kentucky. At the end of the day, I don't even have an issue with it, especially now with knowing just how much money this "not for profit"...

    Storr to Kansas

    They apparently stopped recruiting McKneely a couple of weeks back, preferring the portal/experience vs. freshman route, so no competition with KU there.
