[*Fox2Monk*]

So is this kid good or not? I’ve seen that he’s terrible and now he has NBA talent.

Depends on where he goes.

Well per Google, he is 44 years old, so I hope he has some talent....

LOL they mixed him up with his dad Tyrone who also played there.

Are the 247 portal rankings a reliable indicator? Looking at them the Leonhardt guy from Utah Valley has nice stats but is ranked around 60th among guards.

I tend to not pay much attention to transfer rankings until the transfer season is over. just simply due to the continuous in/out activity.

This guy seems to have all the credentials.

Taller PG and made the all-defense team from his conference.

The team has won the league two years in a row and they are Popes former school. Also the WAC is a better conference than most. (13th best)

Great APG numbers and great 3pt shooting too.

Looks good for off the bench. Not sure he looks like an SEC starter, yet.

We’ll probably be going after a lot of the same players in the portal.

 

[Beatle Bum]

They were reportedly the favorite for Ellis.

Portal season is crazy but he recruited that team knowing they would need a ton this year.

 

[TommyMansky]

Are those all the guys left on staff?

[Skyguyb27]

How did he get past Mitch.

 

[Skyguyb27]

It’ll be awkward if they still chant touch Money.

 

[AllBall]

We recruited him last off season. So, who knows?

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

Would he reclass I wonder?

 

[StuBlue270_uk]

Well that was fast

 

[TommyMansky]

It seems like every year there is a good offensive player in the portal with a connection to the state of Tennessee that UT may or may not tamper during the season.

Exactly. They are talking to someone and have been for a while connected to this player.

Lundblade, Lanier, and maybe Knecht

 

[Bookerfan67]

Where are all these studs I keep hearing about? Looking like another miserable season next year.

[BetterThanYou]

I have an asking price of $2 million.

Fru is LOCO

 

[BassProCat]

Looks good. Hope our portal staff is wide awake.

 

[JimboBBN]

Assuming Pope leans more back into his normal offense (year 1), this would be a great get for us. Smaller Amari Williams with more skill on offense.

 

[BassProCat]

well at least we are interested haha

 

[wildcatdon]

another nice player

Need this guy too.

 

[BassProCat]

Need this guy too.

We miss on stokes then he needs to be top priority too

I think Leonhardt will be one of the top Portal PGs. He has good size, great assist and rebounding numbers, he's a good defender, avgs. 2 steals per game, shoots it well both inside (I like to pay attention to FG% for Guards) and outside the 3pt. line on decent 3pt. volume.

Whether a team should go after him would depend on what kind of PG fits with the roster they're building. There's some good options who were freshmen this season at non-Power 5 schools (e.g., Alex Wilkins, Joel Foxwell, Preston Edmead, Christian Bliss) and ended up at those lower tier schools due to NIL and the Portal making high school recruiting less valuable/efficient. But it's a good situation for a school like UK because they get the seasoning they need while continuing to mature.
