With all of the negative press JMI is getting, they want UK to land somebody as well. At least you would think so.

I would doubt it for now. We have so many guys with eligibility to return that it would be tricky for any incoming freshman who wants a guaranteed role other than a Stokes type that always would have a role. I bet once the roster situation is more settled in terms of returnees, you start to see Pope go all-in on specific guys to fill in around what we have. Until then, hard to commit somewhere if you don’t know what your role will be.

Nah. Other way around. JMI needs to change their ways of doing business.
JMI wasn’t around last year, what recruit outside of the state did we sign? Now I also think the JMI deal is a problem but not the sole problem.

These kids are busy with their games and chasing girls. It’s all about the money for them now and maybe if they grew up loving the school or something.

I think they've entirely punted with recruiting and hope fans don't get upset or ask questions for why the university of Kentucky basketball will have 0 recruits
