Watching him this afternoon, no doubt he could play for us can’t believe we didn’t recruit him harder but I think I figured out why I just saw him make two free throws!!!

You left out the best stat: 51.4 percent from three point range. My goodness, could we ever use some of that this year.
I added it in a second post somewhere in this thread. He’s shooting 50 percent from the field too! You’re right we could have used him no doubt about it.

Why do we assume Powell would have come to UK? I’m pretty sure he grew up a Syracuse fan and said more than once that we was not a UK fan.

It would have helped if he had gotten an offer but he didn’t. He left prep school in Florida while he was in high school because he’s close to his mother so Kentucky would have had a good chance possibly. Something we will never know.

I guarantee you if Cal had offered him, he would have been a UK fan. These kids know that Cal is NOT going to offer them. He is to hung up on the number of stars they have by their name. Like I have said many times, Cal cannot judge talent. He just goes by the stars, unless someone he knows, tells him that a certain player is good.

OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!

Is he someone that could eventually get drafted?
Cal recruits for the draft, so if he doesn't think the kid could get drafted, he won't waste a scholarship.
Remember, he's trying to help 5* kids reach their dreams.

There was no guarantee AD was coming here either, but Cal offered him and look what happened.

Yeah, but would he fo that under Cal in this offense?
Our guys always seem to labor to score, but thrive when they go somewhere else (Wiltjer, Juzang, Baker, Matthews etc..)

You’re seriously comparing AD (top 2 player in the class) to a three star guy who had like 5 total offers?

REALL reaching on this one to bash Cal

Lots of kids in Kentucky can fill it up. We don't even use all our scholarships and right now we only have two kids on the roster that you even think might hit a 3 and one of them doesn't play.

If you think I compared the two players, you really have a reading comprehension problem. Wow.
