A warrior that walks out of bounds with the ball?

But he touches money on 3
Jeez, how long are we going to hold that over his head? Oweh has won more games for us than anyone else the last 10 years. Guy makes one error and that's all you want to focus on?

I'll never understand the Oweh hate. The guy has been a warrior for us, gets the toughest defensive assignment and is the focus of every team we play, yet in SEC play, he’s averaging over 20ppg and has been playing at an extremely high level. He’s the least of our problems.

I would take an Otega Oweh every year.

Take a chance on him. Pope doesn't have the results to not gamble on the kid. This team needs an edge. We've gotten a bit too happy go lucky. He has the star power to lift even the decrepit 60 and 70 year olds that horde the lower bowl at Rupp, to their feet.

I want to see a player that can break teams. This kid can be that guy.

Don't understand the Oweh hate. Let's not let our disappointment with the coach carry over to the players.

Oweh is a great player, and if he had a coach who put together a more competent roster, he wouldn't have to be Superman. He needed a Yaxel, Silas, Caleb Wilson, etc to play alongside him.

Yah, the NCAA could come back after next year take our round of 32 accomplishment away.
This. What's there to lose?

Need to land a high profile recruit just for the optics alone. Getting 3 mid-tier portal guys instead of a stud gives you a season like this one.

Everybody acting like we are getting Stokes while the Kansas staff all ready has him locked. Stokes and his agent taking visits to Jack up that price tag.

POPE HATERS: Pope is such a dweeb. Literally, the weakest man I’ve ever seen, needs to coach a women’s team.

SAME POPE HATERS: Pope needs to add Stokes or he needs to be farred.

REASONABLE OBJECTOR: But Stokes has character issues and you just said Pope is too weak to coach men. How is he going to handle Stokes?

POPE HATERS: Oh, Pope can handle it man.

REASONABLE OBJECTOR: 🤔
I think it’s a risk he has to take at this point. If he was cooking on the court and recruiting no way but he needs talent sadly.

Idc what he did. Hes a stud and could bring home a championship. So. There’s that. What he does off the court is his business as long as it doesn’t affect us winning

And? It’s always been known that he left the ND school because of a fight.

I’m beyond giving a damn about that crap at this point. We need talent. I don’t care if they go around smoking weed and beating up nuns at night as long as they win and bring a title here. Moral superiority is for programs that have actually won something and can afford to stick their nose in the air. We don’t have that luxury.

The internet was talking about him getting into a fight right before he transferred.

Whether or not it was "in his paperwork," is irrelevant to us. Everyone knew he had "character concerns" And everyone knew there was a fight.

If he’s locked up why would he be jacking up the price tag? Unless we have a different definition of locked up. If the price is still fluid he isn’t locked up.

I don’t want him after he said he doesn’t want to go to KY.
I’m pretty sure a random Twitter guy said that Stokes said that. Unless I missed an article with a quote from Stokes.

Would be pretty dumb for Stokes to say in an interview he doesn’t want to go to a school that is still publicly recruiting him. Especially if he’s just “driving up the price” as many keep speculating.

Anybody here on this BB remember their high school days? Can I get a show of hands for anybody that might have gotten into a fight during this time? I’ll start it off 🙋🏻‍♂️

He may have verbally committed but not signed that's what I meant by locked he can play monopoly all the way to the end like everybody else.

As long as he doesn’t sleep with other players girlfriends he should be fine.

I don’t understand any of that?? He lied to get in High school??? Ok. He got in and graduated. That’s on their admission department. What are they gonna do?? Take back his diploma??
This is click bait. He won’t be ineligible in college for lying to a high school???

Sometimes he looks the part other times he doesn't.I haven't watched him play enough to evaluate him but he did not look all world 🌎 the first time I saw him.

While the history of Ky ball is prideful and fun to remember… the current times are not fun.

fun would be a Florida fan. Duke fan. UConn fan

we’ve been fun before. Need to be fun again.

Wasn’t there a rumor here at some point about Stokes having gang ties? Or was that complete BS?
I hope so. We need some that are affiliated. Kentuckys been real lame lately. Need some ppl with some connections.

Some Nike gang. Gang Gang. Feed the studs. Real studs.

I’f you do even a cursory look you’ll see that this “investigation” is done by a local rag that supports a different high school program (and says so on the masthead.)

no one is actually quoted just “first-hand knowledge”….

I’m calling BS on this one. Guy may be a turd but this is weak.

It’s the people on here that don’t know basketball , they just watch games and look at everything as black and white and don’t understand the complexities at all.
