Huge get for pope, two pieces locked down before signing period

ThroughBlue · 2026-10-26T12:40:15-0500

dont blow your load just yet. we have logged many predictions only to see the kid go elsewhere

TheResistance · 2026-10-26T12:43:06-0500

is this in reference of?

NociHTTP · 2026-10-26T12:45:15-0500

So, two Wheelers?

TheResistance · 2026-10-26T12:45:37-0500

Catastic5 · 2026-10-26T12:46:46-0500

So he hasn’t signed. It’s just a prediction. OK

PastorofMuppets82 · 2026-10-26T12:47:11-0500

Behind a Paywall, but Tipton dropped the prediction.

Kentucky trending for elite 2027 recruit; prediction placed

Kentucky is trending for an elite recruit in the 2027 class, and I've logged a prediction in favor of Mark Pope and the Wildcats to win out.

Great prospect as a bench big if things go right for Pope this year.

Does not move the needle to keep Pope though imo like a unanimous top 10 guy would/could

Anon696759 · 2026-10-26T12:55:17-0500

Lock this one up and we legit may go back to back 40-0

TheResistance · 2026-10-26T12:56:02-0500

I wonder if he is rated higher than Shagari was during his time...

Anon696759 · 2026-10-26T12:57:02-0500

Pope is finding his way on the recruiting trail. These "kids" want to play for the name on the front of the jersey.

Pygmy Sasquatch · 2026-10-26T13:08:08-0500

Dang, hope he has the wingspan of Milagra, too

Bernie4blue · 2026-10-26T13:16:53-0500

Just watched some of his game film. He does it all, including handling the ball well.

Who is the last 7'5 guy that could dominate a college basketball game? Not to be a wet blanket but those guys are too slow and too physically weak to make an impact. It just never works out with these dudes.

Of course. Thats why they are all gonna play for free so we can funnel all the NIL to Stein and football.

Wemby....Edey....Sampson...OK, 7'7", 7'4" and 7'4" but close enough

Anon1739778738 · 2026-10-26T13:34:40-0500

Hope he isn't another over hyped project because if he is it's the last thing we need. We need a top talented point guard who can lead by example and check all the boxes for the position.

PastorofMuppets82 · 2026-10-26T13:39:10-0500

Surprised to see ESPN has Millogo as #8 Overall in the class and ranks him as a 5 star. While I don't give much credence to ESPN's rankings, still surprising considering every other site has him between 29 and 44 generally (and a 4 star). I was a little confused when a headline referenced UK picking up a prediction to land a 5 star. Now I see why, they were using ESPN's rankings.

Bungalow Bill · 2026-10-26T13:39:51-0500

Hope this actually means good news for us. Hasn't meant much lately to get a prediction.

Can probably add Aday Mara from last year's National Champions to the list too. He measured 7'3" without shoes at the draft combine. So somewhere between 7'4" and 7'5" depending on his shoes on the court.

For some reason I thought it said he could be our PG. I agree it would be a good pickup

Reminder: Since 2015 there have been TWO top 15 rated incoming freshman play in the national championship game.
Stephen Castle from UConn.
Jalen Suggs from runnerup Gonzaga.

That should bode well for Pope....

Pope isn’t exactly working with years to develop players, here. He needs instant-impact players to prove why he should continue to be the Kentucky coach.

Snarks · 2026-10-26T14:19:06-0500

We better get him, lol. The assistant we just hired coached him with NBA Africa. But, I can’t imagine this kid will have an impact for years. At that height, the learning curve and conditioning is really steep.

BookofMormon · 2026-10-26T14:21:41-0500

Can't teach height.

Shocking stat for real. Makes what Cal did with that 2012 team even more special. Had 3 top 15 freshmen start.

That’s a fact. And he’s pretty skilled for that size. Also if it helps even a tiny bit with Kamagate you take him.

How old are you? Do you seriously find enjoyment is this? If you are above the age of 14 I seriously feel sorry for you. Please get a life, watch porn, get a hobby, do something because this is a sad existence.

Remember though the nba lockout helped that team. Jones and lamb were leaving if not for the lockout. We don’t even come close to a title without those 2.

2013-2014 was impressive too, even though we were cheated out of the title

This might as well be a Cal/Duke haven’t been past the elite 8/final 4 stat lol

He is extremely hard to project to college basketball next year. There just haven’t been many of the freakishly tall guys ranked high in the recruiting rankings.

Using 247 rankings(focused on centers) there have only been two 7’2 and above(listed height) guys in the top 50 of their class: Bol Bol and Aday Mara. There were some guys right outside the top 50 by their rankings (Hunter Dickinson and Daniel Jacobsen(at Purdue now)).

Think he is an ideal Kepnang replacement in year 1 behind a third year Malachi.
