Diallo and Stokes!

Played HS basketball together.

Hopefully it happens. They're the type of duo that would probably save Pope's job.

Did you also know Willie Cauley-Stein played wide receiver in HS.

I KNEW someone would say that

Here we go again Pope might get Diallo because he’s not getting Wright, but he’s been out of the Stokes sweepstakes for a few months now!

Once again, he (his agent) kept UK around to squeeze KU for maximum $$$! If Diallo mattered in the recruitment, Self would be all over Diallo as well… He’s not!

What about how Adebayo got the nickname Bam

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Don't scoff! I think the Harrison Twins may have played at the same high school, so It's not like it is impossible...

Grow up. I'm asking the impossible, but fake it until you make it.

 

[ParadiseKy]

Who hasn't Stokes played hs ball with

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

So why Self not recruiting Diallo? If it matters and all? I’d say, doesn’t. I’d be shocked if we get Stokes, even if we get Diallo. Just my opinion anyway.

Did you know Lynn Bowden has 72 tattoos?

0% chance we get Stokes

If Stokes was firmly committed to signing with Kansas, he would have done so already. I think the longer this goes on the less likely Kansas will be his destination.

I guess he could still pick KU, but every day that passes gives me hope. Self announced his return over a week ago. It has been shared on here that KU matched Kentucky’s offer…
So what is the hold up?
Makes me think Pope is working this behind the scenes with all he has to get this done.

If that's the case, you'd better tell Pope and Nike, because apparently, they're still wasting their time.

I'm sure they'd appreciate your inside info.

Maybe Stokes is waiting to see if one of his suitors scores big in the portal getting some good players to make a run in his one year in college.

???..
"If" the Tyran Stokes recruitment is all about $$$ and Kansas being the leader why UK?.. why not Oregon. I would think Nike/the Phil Knight effect could outbid both UK/Kansas..
The Brand factor is in play and I would like to think Nike is really really, behind the scenes, is wanting this to be a win for a Nike school. Advantage UK!!.
"Throw some of that d UK e juju to Lexington Phil".
Jigga said ain't a thing, and in this case the bank is Nike.

How in the world would you know where Stokes is going to school ? Gee you must be smarter than anyone on this board, and also Stokes himself.

 

[FilsonCat]

If Kansas came to the table with enough money, what is the holdup?
