Is the deadline for adding a 15th over? (Fall Term)

I know we can always add someone for the spring term but I can’t believe the university couldn’t find a way to get a Graduate student (or anyone else) in for the Fall Term.

we only have 14/15 spots

but Louisville has only 12/15?. Do you think Louisville is planning on waiting till the spring to add 3 more guys?

I’m not sure a ton of really good players will wait for Kentucky until Spring Term

This is a R32/Sweet 16 team. Doesn't make sense to sweat it anymore, just try to enjoy the season the best you can. It don't matter.

Teams dont need 15 players. 12 or 14 is plenty.

As the other poster said this team isnt winning anything that matters.
We have at least 2 guys who would be walkons in the old way of doing things. You used to get 13 scholarships and we have 12 scholarship-level guys. That's not an inadequate number but we have serious questions at the 4 and backup 3.

The fact that we didn't get Mitchell says to me that we're still not serious about doing what it takes to win another title. LSU football is fighting the SEC and NCAA tooth and nail to get as many good players as they can get on their roster. Kiffin will win a title soon at LSU. Pope will not.

I know Batt just got here but that was his first real test and was a failure IMO. If Mitch were here, Mitchell would've never committed because MB wouldn't have liked the optics of it. It's a lil in the gray area and MB would not have allowed that.

I wouldn't mind adding Tyson in January. He'd be worth it. Play him at the 3 with Milan at the four. You get abused defensively on the glass, but at least you're scoring 88 a game.

This whole offseason has been underwhelming. The only upside is that most of these guys will have eligibility remaining, and maybe Pope adds two high level pieces next year and somehow convinced Milan to come back.

That's a lot of "ifs" though, which seems to be the magic fairy dust that Pope and his cult thrive off of.
