Perhaps, but I'll believe it when I see it and will be fine saying I was wrong.

He doesn't troll Oregon or KU because their fan bases simply aren't as crazy as we are. And, he's from KY, so it's more fun to rub it in the face of your home state school that you're going somewhere else and we couldn't even keep him in state. Perhaps he's saying "y'all couldn't even match what another state's gonna pay me and I'm one of your own!".

I would hope he would want this fanbase on his side for life. Knowing we are crazy and the other ones aren't would be wild to choose them. I get some recruits don't fully understand BBN but I feel like Stokes does. And I feel like he likes the attention and love he would receive.

If anything I feel like he's trolling his hometown Louisville. Having UK in the background while getting Louisville area code. Now that is a troll

Oh good lord. This dipshit has convinced himself he is the next Lebron James.

You mean every top 5 recruit? Lol

Quick question. What is the issue with the tattoo? I literally have my hometown tatted. He's the number one player coming out of highschool. 502 is probably where he touched his first basketball.

Why does rafters get so offended by what these kids do? Like every little movement.

If he commits somewhere else I'll come back and say yes you was right. I feel like he's coming here. He went out of the way to put UK on in the background is how I look at it. Why wouldn't he troll anybody else if he's between three schools?

If he's going to oregon why not troll Kansas. If he's going to kansas why not troll oregon? He just chooses UK to troll? I think he's showing UK love. Just my opinion tho.

And the tattoo makes me feel more confident. Even tho it's Louisville..... It's still Kentucky. He's claiming Kentucky at the end of the day. He was made in Kentucky basically.

These people are so infected with Pope Derangement Syndrome.They’re so negative they won’t allow anything perceived to be positive into the realm of possibility. It’s a strange phenomenon.

Some of you need to touch grass, Jesus Christ. “Pope should’ve took control and told him we need a commitment in 48 hours” then you idiots would’ve been crying when Stokes said no. We need Stokes he doesn’t need us. You have to play the game

This. We have some simpletons in this fanbase.

If Stokes goes to UL I will put myself into an ICU laughing.

The Ganner · Thursday at 9:28 AM

I'm not saying I expect it to happen, but I wonder what all these people bashing Stokes will say if he picks us.

This means he loves his hometown that's all,and he's not going to Louisville

Agreed.
Nothing wrong with representing your origins

He is such an egomaniac, fatigued of his **** at this point!

He's going to wear out teammates over the course of a season. Kid is annoying. I expect very little good to come of his year - can see it being combustible. Let him go to Kansas, they just came off a dramatic freshmen. I can't imagine Self wanting to go through that again, but he has no choice.

That wouldn’t shock me honestly. Seems like a move he would make. They are throwing money around like crazy somehow. Makes no sense how, but they are.

They almost bankrupted the university once.

Get real man, they lost Saunders for the season, up until that point they were a perennial top-10 team. AJ was about as team oriented as it can get.

Not true. Top 20 but not top 10.

I understand the desire to read between the lines and I do it too.

However, he's from Louisville and this tat is more about where he's from, rather than what school he's going to.

And there are people who have cognitive dissonance towards Pope as well and can't comprehend the nuance and realistic issues. So there is two sides of the coin there.

Gobigblue812812 · Thursday at 9:44 AM

So, he's proud where he's originally from, Louisville. People freaking out over this?

There's waaaay to many drama queens here.

Correct.

Stokes began playing basketball competitively as a first grader in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky.

502 in the mirror or a selfie is 205 is Tuscaloosa area code .. Roll Tide???? 5+0+2 is 7, there are almost 7 letters in MPs name..

AJ’s numbers, absolutely zero shot TS does this, IMO, that’s an ungodly freshman campaign while shooting 51%.

No other freshman has ever done that. So he might not be the top freshman ever.

That guy has team cancer written all over him.

We'll probably pay him $5 mil. Then he'll "sprain his ankle", and sit on the bench all season.

what about 606?

I remember when Lexington was 606.

did he really get the wrong area code inked? No Ragrets.

In reality, it’s a 606 school.

Holding out hope. I want him in UK blue. I don’t believe he is the cancer some of you are saying. He is just damn good, knows it, and can be a dude in college next year. Like a dude that leads us to a final four.
Does he have a massive ego? Yep. I would too if I was that good. He has shown, even in all star games, he is a very willing passer.
He just wants to win at the highest of levels.
Gimme that dude all day everyday and twice on Sunday.

I really like the Kentucky game on TV in the background…

darkshadesofblue · Thursday at 1:06 PM

I know trolling, but I’m curious to know what game he’s watching. I miss the old school logo and basketball court

I will take an 8 month legacy recruit!

But do they love 502 enough to get a tattoo of it? I’m not saying 502 isn’t a lot of UK fans, but they also aren’t diehard 502 resident enough to get it inked.

Stokes is going to break the record of most threads about a player who doesn't come here

Monday Nitro · Thursday at 4:36 PM

So he's gonna drive in for games? I'd take it.

I have a good guess, but am not gonna get down that rabbit hole here.

Titpwhahi2014 · Thursday at 5:04 PM

The UK game on the TV is the headline. Not the tattoo.

Umm yes. You're the other two schools that's not a good sign.

I don't give a damn.

What? Kentucky just happened to be on in the background. No Loserville..... KENTUCKY.

So.... Do I think he's going to commit to Kentucky after seeing this?
Already told you Stokes commitment probably going to be on Tuesday if you ate hamburgers and it was raining on a Thursday in Jersey or was that Wednesday? ...

But yes Absolutely. 100,000% Stokes is a Kentucky Wildcat.

Welcome my friend .
You did what you were supposed to.
Kentucky needed you. You answered.

You'll be good here Mr Stokes the rest of your life.

Trash talkers of Stokes need to be banned a month. Dumbasses.

Might not even be real BBN talking Mr. Stokes. They apologize.

As they say: let's get it!!!
