And you need to hit "load more" 3 times (50 players each) to see some of the players we are hoping to get it's disappointing...

When you log into the portal on ON3

More than half of the top 50 are already gone.
Yes. Just accept Pope won't be getting the top players I guess.

Searching for new reasons to get mad about entertainment is beyond creepy.
I don’t think the portal rankings are too accurate. Some guys are obvious. Landenborg last year for example. But where would Mara have been ranked? 46th it looks like. What about Alijah Martin for Florida before they won the title? he wasn’t even top 100. Theres tons of examples.
Use your own judgment here.
And fwiw, i am not and have not been blown away by a lot of the guys we’ve seemed to target.
I did really like the kid that just committed to texas tech but it sounds like his agent may have floated the idea of a Kentucky visit to squeeze Tech for more money before he left.
I just don’t understand why we’re not trying harder for guys thst shoot it better.
Shooting, defense, play making, rebounding, rim protection. We got a playmaker in Zoom. gotta address the other stuff. And we don’t seem to be. Pope seems to love bigs that are awful rebounders and guards that can’t shoot all of a sudden. I do not get it.

Pope always turns to page 4 first to start his searches so no big deal.
Diallo is ranked 34 and Wright is ranked 41 in ESPN's latest ranking. This roster is shaping up to be a contender in the MVC. Like it or not, we are back to the Bobby Perry/Sheray Thomas kind of team. This is not Kentucky Basketball standards. I hope that I am wrong because I love UK Basketball but I would be lying if I said that I am excited about the team next year.

It's funny people say entertainment I'm tired of hearing that stupid ****.... This is Kentucky and this is a way of life. We pride ourselves on winning games, making final 4's and pushing for Championships.... Get the **** out of her with that entertainment bull **** it goes beyond that for all the real UK Fans!!!!!

I've never understood this line of thinking, and I lived in Kentucky all my life. I graduated from UK, and attended football and basketball games. I don't understand how something you can't control like 20 year-olds playing ball is tied to your life's purpose and happiness.
