Little brother loading up while Pope is asleep!

I don't think the dude is anything special. Good portal add but he isn't a 20/10 guy for sure
Looks like everybody is getting somebody but Kentucky, don’t know if we are getting turned down or have somebody waiting for a certain time to announce. I don’t know if the old saying no news is good news or not. I guess we will find out sometime?
I think it is a great pick up for them.
You have to understand that we are going to be a little slow to the portal this year. Pope is waiting until Monday to decide which portal players to add. All depends on Stokes
HUGE get for UL. One of the best shooting PG and the best big in the portal. Must be nice
I do understand, but it’s not a good strategy.
Only Kentucky “fans” could say Pope is sleeping when we have been in contact with all our primary targets, had one visit and the number one recruit coming to town tonight plus two other visits planned this coming week. You can hate Pope all you want but him and the staff have been all over this portal and it’s most likely going to be a big one for us.
Maybe not sleeping. But still not getting it done so far.
Maybe UofL beating us silly next season will be another reason to wake up the program. I keep saying it, but if next season has to be an utter disaster for us to really make some big changes, then so bet it.
Why? Kansas had budinga and Peterson, what did they win?
I'm not impressed. All forgotten when we land Stokes etc
Lol same trolls saying troll things. Can't sign every player in portal and some have yet to put names in. Good for them they play us at rupp next year.. you can't rush things, sometimes if you do you wind up in a situation. Last year we waited on oweh, and may or may not hurt us and injuries too of course
Do not fret folks, Pope has a strategy…
We got Trent Noah coming back, we're good!
In all seriousness, this blows. Kelsey shoving Scheyer in a locker, meanwhile we're all holding our breath over a 17 year old.

Truth be told, I'm not upset U6 picked up Shelstad and Bidunga. I’m just jealous they have some Sunday news to discuss.
They don’t seem to have any problems signing players. Unlike some
I really thought we’d have a commitment by now. I really hope pope pulls a rabbit out of his hat bc things are looking even bleaker than I thought.
Stokes would have loved to play with these 2 . Hope he doesn’t decide to play for his hometown team?
Teams with money will be good. Let me get out my shocked face.
Probably spent 8M between these two guys, if not a tad more.

I just caught a whiff of something...
How do you know what stokes wants?
Kelsey did his job by not letting them leave until they have signed on that line
one more season try be patient

If you don’t see the irony in claiming Pope is asleep when they #1 recruit in the country is flying into Lexington now then I can’t help you. It’s complaining just to do it at this point. Meanwhile little brother lands a guy who had a 13/9 stat line and somehow they are setting the world on fire. I’m all for facts but the constant spewing of BS rhetoric is so juvenile. That’s what this board has become.JQ is returning as well, right?
I don't think Bidunga is anything special either - didn't even give Duke a chance. My guess is Kesley is telling him they are going to transition and play fast, as that's what Bidunga is best suited for. He's a small 5 at 6'9" (generous). Great athlete, not highly skilled. Give him a chance to run, get some lobs, come from the weakside. He's not a classic rim protector, doesn't have any refined offensive skills.
The Pope pumpers are looking rather silly right about now, after doubling and tripling down on their bet, that Pope would get revenge in the portal, and come out next season with guns a blazing!
One of them said a couple of days ago, “I’m not worried Pope hasn’t signed anyone yet, it’s still early… now, if Monday comes and he hasn’t signed anyone, then I’ll start to worry!”
Well, it’s almost Monday… Are we moving the goalpost again now that Stokes is visiting to try to get Self to fold?

What will your excuse be if Stokes commits to Kansas? Because I know you will have one.
Excuses are for losers.
They're decent pick ups...for them. But neither is anything to write home about
Exactly and how many has Pope signed so far….. He’s waiting to get to the 3rd and 4th options of every position before signing any…. We’ve seen this before….
Jeez, BOTH
As much as we’d like to downplay it, getting BOTH of those guys is HUGE for UL. They should be really good.
He may be the best defensive big/rim protector in all CBB next season. I’d say that’s a pretty special thing to have in the middle of your lineup.

why is he the #1 player in the portal then?
