Keep in mind there is no limit on official visits anymore. So he can visit a hundred schools if he wants.

I still think it's either Kansas or Arkansas.

UK isn't landing this kid or Dybantsa. Both recruitments feel like the Marvin Bagley recruitments, where UK was always mentioned but never really had a shot.

Plus, I just don't think Pope's had enough time yet to show what he can do on an elite level. I don't see players of this quality coming to UK in Pope's first few years.

UK
UL
Wash
USC

Washington & USC 2 nothing basketball programs. Unless they've got tons of NIL money to offer I don't understand his interest in these 2 schools. And whatever happened to Kansas the school that a lot of people thought was the leader for Peterson

Seriously, if he wants them, how much time does it take to show interest? You are predicting it will take years before he can get quality recruits? Why?

I kinda feel the same but I hope we can get at least one of them.

For starters, he hasn't produced any NBA guys yet. Elite recruits will probably want to see what he does system-wise and how he maximizes his players' talents.

Nope. We ain't. We ain't landing anyone of this caliber anymore. For the exact same reason I've been repeating on this site over and over an over.

University name brand don’t matter anymore. You can go to a DIV II school and still go pro. Just gotta pay the man and atleast a coach you can stomach to be around. Pope will get tourney wins at UK. Everyone knows that.

He's most likely to go to one of the schools he's visiting. The best program we're competing against is our little brother. Our ugly little brother. He's not from Louisville so if the money is close he'll pick Kentucky. He will probably take the biggest offer if it's way more than Kentucky's offer. That's just the way things are now.

I just don't see UK paying these guys the $2+ million they'll be asking. I hope I'm wrong. I love both of these guys. It might be worth it for Pope to use some of his connections to offer these guys, or even exceed, what they'll be commanding.

After listening to Petterson's Dad on KSR I think we might have a shot at him.

It's interesting to me that Peterson wants to play point guard. I wonder if Calipari will try to sell him on coming to Arkansas and running the offense like Tyreke Evans did at Memphis.

I like our chances with that list.

Interesting no Arkansas.

It would be a gamble for Peterson to come to Kentucky because he is converting to full time PG and has not had a chance to see Pope's system perform on the floor in Lexington. If he reclasses, would he clash with Lamont Butler? I am not getting the feeling he will come to Kentucky but it would be a great way to fill out the roster.

I agree, to me this a bit of a gamble. Great 2g, what about pg? I'm really surprised Arkansas is not the favorite since Cal has no problem putting individual players wants above team goals.

Think Arkansas might be the favorite for Acuff right now and it’s one or the other
