If that’s the plan, I’d rather Pope run ZD at the PG1 and RW at the CG/ SG position… If that does pan out with Stokes, Pope still needs to go large on a high caliber stretch 4, but first things first!

All of the sudden, Pope’s ‘26-‘27 team has a chance to go from zero, to hero, in the matter of just a few hours! LFG coach📢
It's still Pope and I have doubts but money and MO Williams are helping. The Nike deal is real but can be worked out. Pope has the opportunity, money and backing but at the end of the day he has to get it done. I'm holding out hope. Wright is more possible than Stokes imo but it can change which is reason for the visit. Pope’s job is basically up to the next 2-3 days. Money does talk though and both are going to be offered a bag.

Is it even a possibility Stokes commits tomorrow? Wright wouldn't surprise me since that seems to be how it goes in the portal sometimes, but I doubt Stokes would.

Gonna come back and visit this thread when neither one sign. Lotta people seem to think visit means commit. Till they sign on dotted line doesn’t mean sh%#.

agree with most. Cannot let them leave without dropping the cash in front of them and making them say no.

Pope and the UK money men have been in enough of these negotiations now to know what it will take to land Stokes and Wright. 40 MPG guarantee and a brinks truck full of NIL. You don't tease a fanbase that is fed up and get our hopes up unless you're willing to offer that, period. If they're not capable of doing that then tomorrow will be a waste of time. Get in there and get these two locked down! Get this done, Coach! Pony TF up, money men!

From what I was told, Wright is the 1st choice. Zoom just happened to be available to visit 1st. Wright being here same time as Stokes was planned and worked out. Pitching them together. Also visit with Zoom has went fairly well but don't expect an announcement today. Was told he wants to visit others but UK is pushing. Pitching off ball scoring with Wright running pg and Stokes at SF. As always, anything can change so still to be determined
This is what I've thought as well. Ohio State and Louisville are out of it. We are the only team left he has spoken with. I think it gets done and we get a real player.

Wright throwing lobs to Stokes would be sweet. After watching some of those highlights, I would love him as our lead guard.
And Stokes himself has nice court vision as was on display last night. We might just get back to that eye candy movement basketball that we often saw in Pope's first year.

Dude, just stop! We have all been waiting for a moment like this! Let’s all get behind Pope and will this into existence!
Stop what? Telling facts? Like I said the other thread was made knowing Stokes the number one players is flying into Lexington today for his second visit and Wright, Freeman and Goode both coming this week too. You and your brigade of Debbie downers are who needs to stop. There was no need for the other post to be made and just to continually pile on a dead horse with no facts to back it up. The staff isn’t asleep, they are very much awake and working. Our off season will be much better than little brothers and I stand by that 100%.

Remember BBN Wright told everyone he would not visit anyone . Pope has sold him on the plan or he wouldn’t be coming
Rob wasn't planning on coming to UK when he entered the portal. Him and Stokes are being sold as "part 2" of him and AJ last year at BYU.

I think it's beautiful and I think I'm close to saying Stokes is coming.

It might genuinely change the narrative of Pope's recruiting overnight. Sure we probably have to shell out half our budget for them and it would probably have more to do with Mo Williams, but just get some studs, showcase their talents heavily, and recruits probably wouldn't be as hesitant with Pope.
Get those two and spend the rest on role players. You have your “big three” with Wright, Moreno and Stokes.
