KSR post regarding next years roster

People say stuff like this all the time about previous players of ours whether it be tyler herro, pj Washington, Immanuel quickly, reed sheppard and the list goes on and on. Moreno has played well all through the season he has clearly showed he gas a lot of potential at the next level according to the guys who's jobs are to scout players for their respective teams.
Trying to get clicks or reads whatever you want to call it. I am not dreaming at all. He has proven nothing in my eyes. I hope he comes back and tears it up. Mock drafts mean nothing.
Nice hit piece, KSR. Anyway, I look to get most of these guys back.
Exactly! No way he gets drafted 8! Not unless he plays soon and shows he’s worthy of a top 10 pick.
And by the way, does anyone really still take KSR seriously? Aren’t they at the SuperBowl, instead of the huge UK/Tennessee game? How seriously can you take them?
I’m right there with you. Maybe, and I mean maybe, I would add Johnson to the list.
Yeah but that's a tool coaches have to retain players nowadays. It's not like Garrison didn't stay, he did. If it works it works. My point is let's wait until April when these decisions are made before really caring, because even if it's due to money these decisions can change and lead to guys staying.
Should be playing him anyway imo, that is, if he’s good enough to contribute in a meaningful way. I’ve read several times that he looks great in practice. That would sting if he left and he was paid this year to be a practice guy. Plus, he most likely won’t hang in college long enough to need a redshirt, having NBA aspirations.
I hope most of the guys come back. It's probably our best chance of being good. If we have a lot of returners on the roster, then next season will probably determine Pope's fate here(assuming we don't make a run this year).
I will say this Pope needs 3 point guards on next years roster regardless of who stays or goes.
We need to consolidate talent into 1 player instead of having 2 opposite role players. Instead of bringing back Andrija for offense and Mo D for defense/rebounding, you bring in 1 elite forward who can do both.
No on Lowe, too risky, we can't have another year derailed by injuries at PG and he doesn't fit Pope's system as a 3-pt threat. It's also been proven that taller, longer teams do better.
Absolutely right! The most important position on the floor. At least 2 PGs and a damn good combo guard.
Lol good call. Basically three categories: Graduating, Quaintance, and I guess we’ll find out.
Would be darkly hilarious if Hawthorne wasn’t good enough to play this year, but also somehow good enough to get drafted. Basically all the underclassmen with professional aspirations go through some NBA workouts, I assume that’s all Hawthorne has in mind.
I also chuckled at the description of Hawthorne as “more of a project than a completed piece.” Yeah, I’ll say!
What happens if BYU throws some money at Chandler and gives him a chance to return home? Anything can happen.
NBA is a draft of potential. There is a lack of centers in this draft.
Nope! Not going back 20+ years, but name a UK point guard in the last 20 that Lowe is better than…
Good luck
I’ll bet ANYONE on this board JQ doesn’t go lottery, much less 8th!.. Any takers? Odds?
Nah, didn’t think so
He was good enough while playing compromised. If he comes back 100%, we would look great beside a third year Chandler to me
If Garrison starts playing more games like he did Wed, I would love to have him back
Sahvir Wheeler, D.J. Wagner, Devin Askew....Nope! Not going back 20+ years, but name a UK point guard in the last 20 that Lowe is better than…
Good luck
You don’t know basketball. Period. Good luck to you.Nope! Not going back 20+ years, but name a UK point guard in the last 20 that Lowe is better than…

It will depend on what he wants to do. Is he ready no, but most who go are not ready year 1. You can't teach 7ft and he has some huge upside which will get him drafted if he wants to go. The problem for him is this draft is loaded and it will push him down to low first round at best and most likely he would would be a second round guy. This is the reason i think he might test the draft just to get feedback and then he will come back at least for another year. The money he could get from moving into the top 10 or 12 vs second round plus what he will get in NIL money will be enough to get him to return I think.
I have wondered about several of these guys and 2 year deals and thats why our NIL was so high.
It would have to come from the portal I don't think there are any unsigned PG in the freshman class
Not on injured guys, they don’t. This injury will absolutely affect his draft position. Also, they want centers that can shoot. That’s not JQ.
Sure. Coz he wouldn't have done that in 2024 if he wanted it
.Don’t think Lowe is the savior everyone hoped he’d be this year even if he’d played much. He flat can’t shoot. We surely can do way better than Jaland Lowe - or if we can’t then Pope’s tenure here may be very short
