Has KY in his Top 5. He is going to visit soon. 6’8 Canadian same Hometown as Jamal Murray and could make the jump into the 24 class and be on Campus this Summer, play this Fall.

Do you know if this is the player referred to in that thread about a late add a few months later? It’s another new thread and I tagged you in it.Riley is very likely to reclass and has height/guard skills. Played his HS ball in PA and was leading scorer on the EYBL 16U level last year and moved up to 17U for UPlay Canada for Peach Jam too. 6'9 wing.
He's considered a consensus top 25 player in '25 class which is high level group of talent.
Would be a helluva pickup.
I don't know anything about that--but I do know that Riley's kind of put his plan out there and it sure seemed like he was going to reclassify--even when Cal was still coaching but UK wouldn't be the choice because of the heavy incoming FR class already. Now things have changed.Do you know if this is the player referred to in that thread about a late add a few months later? It’s another new thread and I tagged you in it.
We can add to our 2 man ‘24 class. Plus dude is a 6’9 shooterIf the push is for less hot shot freshmen and more seasoned players, I would caution against. This kid is way more likely to be a Hami Diallo or freshman Ugo than a Reid Travis.
Just sayin...

Pattern your program after UCONN get a couple 5* freshman that hopefully contribute immediately but not a team built mostly with them. If they fail to meet expectations it’s not destroying your season.If the push is for less hot shot freshmen and more seasoned players, I would caution against.

Thank you. That's a lot closer to what I meant to say.Pattern your program after UCONN get a couple 5* freshman that hopefully contribute immediately but not a team built mostly with them. If they fail to meet expectations it’s not destroying your season.
Bring him in. I expect UK is going to add 2 to 3 more high level transfers. But they are still going to need bodies for next season. I don’t think we have to worry any longer about freshmen being given starting positions over better upperclassmen just to keep the OAD train going. So for next season, and after UK gets the starter-type transfers in place and any other good likely multi-year guys they can find, if any, bring all the 5-star freshmen that’ll come – even the OADs. Good freshmen make for good depth off the bench. If he can win a starting job all the better. And if he leaves after one year, so be it - for next season anyway.If the push is for less hot shot freshmen and more seasoned players, I would caution against.

That would be the ultimate ironic twist to the end of the Cal era.Freaky stuff. It occurs to me that if the floodgates open wide enough it could eventually start to look like Cal was holding Kentucky back even in terms of high-level recruiting. Couldn’t think of a better birthday present for us Bennies.
Yeah, I saw that. Sounds like he is open to playing this year and UK seems to be where he would want to do it.Has KY in his Top 5. He is going to visit soon. 6’8 Canadian same Hometown as Jamal Murray and could make the jump into the 24 class and be on Campus this Summer, play this Fall.
