Some of you probably already know but in case you haven't, our staff made contact tonight with David Fuchs and T Bol Bowen... If we can nab Fuchs, our starting 5 is pretty solid.. Freeman miss won't be so big if we land one of those 2 guys.. Fuchs possesses next level ability.. I'm not so big on Bowen though..
New Possibilities at the 4
- Thread starter chipper34
- Start date
A ******* 238 rank transfer from San Francisco named David ***** is "next level" and we won't miss a beat from missing on Freeman.
You got next level something, that's for sure.

How did you find out that info? Fuchs would be a good get. We have the cash to get him
OMG really? We doing this? David *****? He's the next Tim Duncan?!
I mean sign the guy cuz we need bodies to field a line up but let's not delude ourselves here

Cade Tyson avg 21 a game in big 10 this season and is 250th
Ranking don't mean ****
Ranking don't mean ****
He is 6'9" 250
We need that kind of beef at the 4 unless we want Williams or Hawthorne snapping in half
I agree we need bodies to field a lineup. Where I don't agree is expecting this guy to be "next level", or that we will have an actual "Ferrari" lineup this time around.
He may very well not be next level, but there aren't many realistic options right now.
Fuchs and McBride would definitely bring physicality to the 4 spot. Don’t know how much production they’ll give, but they certainly won’t be pushed around.
I agree 100% with you. I was ribbing the OP for his next level. I really don't want to go through that hyperbole BS again after what transpired this past season.
Friend of a Friend kinda thing. I would assume you'll hear about it tomorrow. I know the Freeman miss sucks but what we're building here is a cohesive group that doesn't lean on any one person. It takes time to build really successful groups and that's no different here. I feel the same pain you all feel when we 'miss'. Stay the course and Finish Strong. #BBN
No Fuchs given on a guy who averaged 12 and 7 in the WCC.
The sum of the parts is greater than the whole! 12 and 14 loss seasons, tell me that is total BS and cope. For poor recruiting and scouting. I remember, people told me it didn't really matter that Pope couldn't get talent, his offensive system would will us to 30 win seasons.
This is laughably stupid
Fuchs looks like he has a decent post game, and he looks to play decent defensive position. However, what I do NOT like about him...
FT: 60%
3P: 30%
Assists/game: 1.4 - so, maybe not a great passer, or his 2 different teams both stunk at finishing
Blocks: 0.3 per game
12.7 and 7.8 in only 24 minutes per.
It does make you wonder why he didn't play more minutes though. He averaged 3.1 fouls per 40 min. so that doesn't seem to be the main issue.
I certainly wouldn’t have him rated as a first choice out of everyone, but Bol Bowen could actually be a decent buy low candidate given the position we’re in now. He was actually a pretty consistent double figure scorer early this season even against the toughest opponents on Alabama’s schedule, highlighted by his 17 point 9 rebound game in their win over St. John’s. His durability is the concern though, as he’s built like toothpick and was greatly hampered by nagging injuries in conference play.
Niko Bundalo (6'10" Fr. PF) now in the Portal. He's a 2025 McDonalds AA. Played on Prolific Prep with Darryn Peterson (and he still believed he was the best player). Lot of skills and all the high school hype to make him considered a "stud." Only problem is he was apparently unplayable at Ole Miss as a freshman. May have some maturity/emotional IQ issues - but that's just trying to read between the lines. Chris Beard wouldn't play him - and probably for good reason. But it's a name if we're throwing out recent PF portal entries.
You serious? Someone really told you he was that good offensively?
We recruited him early. Definite maturity problems. I’d imagine Pope gives him a call.
Neither one are worth a Fuchs
Kentucky Basketball is in free fall if these are the crumbs we're fighting for.
Moreno gonna be playing 47 minutes a game at this point
Arch Miller referred to him as a "poor man's Blake Griffin". Arch has always had a good eye for talent.
Yeah teams could play hack a Shaq with that FT rate. Freeman was going to be a Carr, not a star though, and some of what we lose in blocks (which is basically one every two games) we’ll get back in beef so I don’t think he’ll be too much of a downgrade and probably a snag considering what’s available. Unless he folds moving to the SEC but speaking of Carr himself, his numbers didn’t really change much when he switched from the CAA to the ACC. (His boards dropped when he came to the SEC but Fuchs seems like a better rebounder than Carr and Carr was rebounding off a bad back most of his stint in the SEC.)
Fuchs sake.
Coach Hope in one hand ,Coach Poop in the other .
Calgon, take me AWAY!

Don’t enable this. Stay away from Big Blue Madness and games. Don’t purchase gear and try your darnedest to not watch games. Don’t give UK a cent.
LOL, Beard won't play him but somehow the current UK coach will be able to put a leash on him and turn him into a serviceable basketball player.
Maturity problems? Perfect fit for ole CMP.
We are a dying breed in the fan base man! The woke mentality is wreaking havoc over the MBB program, and it’s getting more prevalent by the day!
UK is going to have to start hanging banners for players just showing up for practice before it bottoms out, it appears

Well, it’s not like they are doing anything to earn our business or maintain our loyalty!
I think you’re right. I’ve been reading this board a lot lately and it’s painfully obvious that 95% of the fans are just ecstatic with the state of the basketball program.We are a dying breed in the fan base man!
