Im sure about Stokes he'll be a cat
Bryson Howard or Stokes are probably the most likely. Still not sold that Stokes is coming, but I hope so.
i think if not stokes we will ride with a transfer only class with no freshman
It was always going to go this way. I knew when all the smoke was UK they’d play a game late with it. It’s gonna drift to someone else. These agents play so many games trying to get these guys it’s ridiculous. But that’s how it’s going to be. From 96-2015 I was fully submerged in all recruiting. All the ins and outs. Every player. It was one of my hobbies. 2016 I slowly began to pay zero attention to it. Now, I don’t even look. It’s not a productive thing to do anymore because it’s just lies and misdirection now so they can squeeze. Best thing to do is pay zero attention to anything other than who we offer. Then sit back and skip all the bs. When they commit pay attention.
I think if everyone did this it would help too. Stop giving all the attention and it could help the nonsense subside. Some of these guys over the last 5 years especially do nothing but play games for attention. To hell with it
There is a zero percent chance this happens. We are in good enough shape with far too many players for that to happen.
Duke has already signed four players, odd that we haven’t signed anyone yet.
well your last sentence is why i dont think we get anyone, besides stokes (who idk if we are leading for anymore) we arent leading for anyone
Nope, that headline you saw on ESPN about the four top 50 players for dUKe was the women's team.
ahh, that makes sense, given their ratings and such
Just because you aren't sure we are leading for anyone doesn't mean we won't sign a single freshman. Like I said 0% that happens.
Kansas does have 3 commits and even one for 2027. Our class will be fine though, probably 2-3 freshman.
holy sht man, when I reread it you could literally swap it with women lol.
How are you sure? Just wondering, and I hope your correct
Im going buyJoe Tipton. He says Kentucky leads four guys on rivals posted there pick for the cats until they say otherwise I'm going with Uk
I've been reading your posts about how sure you are he's ours and all you've been going by is Tipton's 60/40 prediction? Damn. I should know better than to ever think anybody on here has any real inside info.
Never said I had inside info,Joe,Is not the only one ,There are several others ,four guys on rivals sa Kentucky leads I'm going.by that till I hear other wise,I have no inside info,never have I trust Rivals guys
on3's top 100 players we're only showing 2 players that we might be in on? #1 Stokes, #3 Jordan Smith Jr. Are we even recruiting any of these guys??

2026 Rivals Industry Top Basketball Recruits
A list of the top 2026 Basketball recruits based off of a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all 3 major recruiting media services, including Rivals.
What an idiot you are.
Nobody could really know how this would go. The JMI deal hadn’t kicked in yet to know. Everyone was going off past years.
I’m not expecting any recruits. All portal. And I’m sorry but that simply isn’t going to work. Like with Calipari always being a few older guys away, we’ve got the same problem now in reverse. Not enough talent. JMI will get good and average players but elite players aren’t going to be handcuffed.
We need a new AD who knows what the hell he’s doing. I think Mark could have actually worked, but I don’t think it’ll happen in these conditions. JMI and Ted Talks are not the recipe to handing banners.
