Noticed a star player from Va Tech has entered the portal. Coming to play for Brooks at UK?
Women’s Possibity
- Thread starter yes_takeaside
- Start date
Sure hope at least one of our basketball teams are worth a damn next season!
She would be a huge get…projected as a first round pick in the WNBA draft
Add this to the mix now too
our womens program is going to be exciting, which is good because I need something to distract me from the fact our mens program sucks shit.
I guess if they can land her and the VaTech transfer, it'd be something to keep an eye on. Any new positive energy for the women's team would be a nice change.
Exactly. All these guys dissing the chicks need to rethink it. We'll have nothing else in sports next winter.
Both the big high school recruits in the state (top 10 nationally) are juniors, so it gives him time to make up some ground. If he could pull a miracle off and land both of them, look out.

Here is a link to rankings. 5th, 8th and 37th ranked players in the 2025 class are all from Kentucky.

Wow that’s a pretty good coup that 3 of the top girls in the country are from Kentucky hope he makes some end roads with these girls. It would be nice for them to stay home and go to UK…
Even the guard Alexander from Purcell Marian right in Ohio that’s just right across the river. She’s ranked #4 be nice to get her down to UK and get her to stay close to home.
Really rooting for Ciara Byars! GRC is a great public institution in Winchester and she’s a fine player and great person.
I believe she’ll be at UK too, but Cincinnati is a real possibility.

The draft?! Could be the biggest day in the history of the program!
Seriously, if true, huge get.
I would definitely like to land a couple of those. It's not often the state has such a good crop of top talent in any sport. Kids don't always go to the school they grow up cheering for, but I always thought Johnson was a lock for U of L because she grew up a U of L fan. Perhaps she will be one of those that doesn't follow her heart.
It said that Amoore clicked the 'do not contact' button on her portal. Does not feel like being bugged all the time. Looks like a complete offensive player averaging about 19 points and a bunch of assists.
No joke. If we have to do a rinse and repeat for the men's team then please let the women's team be good.
It could be the perfect storm this year...renovated Memorial, new exciting, likeable coach, new exciting players....I have a feeling it's going to be a hot ticket.
Supposedly he can real deal recruit. Locking down the state this year would be one hell of start
Now big 6-5 Clara Strack has entered the portal with a 'no contact' order! Speculation she could very well be heading to UK. When their #1 five went down she played great scoring, rebounding and blocking shots. Think she was a top 100 player from New York out of high school.
She would give us some height that we have seriously lacked. GO CATS!!
Saw this article posted today. Brooks received the 4th most votes in an anonymous poll for what coach players would most want to play for. I have a feeling he is going to kill it here!

I posted this last night, but some moderator deleted the post and banned me. Thank you for getting it back out there.
Did not know he is THAT popular. Will be fun getting a higher level of recruits every year. Also, not a lot of giants to go around so impressive that he had not one but two of the best at the same time with a 6-6 and a 6-5, not to mention a 6-7 coming in this year.
I don't believe there is any relation. Here is a great article about her:

I wish Maddie Scherr would reconsider, she can play and I'm sure Brooks will talk to her, she's the only one of the ones transferring out I would talk too about staying.
