    UK in contact with Minnesota’s PG Hawkins

    I agree for the most part. However, as the coach, I think the sell is A detailed plan of how you would use the talents the player already possesses AND how you would further develop his strengths and weaknesses. A chance to play with other top players (which takes pressure off of you...

    Who are some players that likely enter the portal in the next couple weeks?

    Provided that the BYU kid Saunders commits, I wouldn't mind adding the additional 2 guys from BYU (who haven't announced anything about the portal): G/F - Jaxson Robinson 6'7 190 lbs F - Noah Waterman 6'11 220 lbs - perfect stretch 4 Those 2 with Chandler & Saunders would form a good...

    Who are some players that likely enter the portal in the next couple weeks?

    I think most have assumed the unnamed player "not in the portal yet" is Jaxson Robinson @ BYU. That has been anything other than rumor/wishful thinking at this point, but it isn't totally outrageous to assume Robinson would consider following Pope to UK.

    Adou Thiero

    I would think he could still fit at the 4... his outside shot improved a ton to the point that he is at least a decent 3pt shooter now @ 32%

    Former Oregon State RB Damien Martinez to visit UK

    I agree...I just remember that 2016 team being so fun to watch with those two guys leading the way at RB. Jojo Kemp also provided valuable depth in that RB room.

    Former Oregon State RB Damien Martinez to visit UK

    Yeah, I would like to see Martinez/Chip be a 1-2 combo similar to Snell/Boom in 2016...not in a power/speed complimentary way like Boom/Snell, but in the fact that neither guy had to get a ton of carries yet each guy was fantastic when they were in. That also puts less mileage on their bodies...

    Former Oregon State RB Damien Martinez to visit UK

    Grump, You may be right, but those total yards numbers are a little misleading when it comes to how good Martinez is... Against Oregon was really the only game he was stuffed... 13 carries for 38 yds... 2.92 ypc However, against Washington, he was still quite good 26 carries for 123...

    Burks

    I agree that I don't think Cal cares one bit about Burks' decision to stay or transfer (b/c I don't Cal would want him at Arkansas). However, I do think Cal is incredibly savvy when it comes to media/marketing, etc as it relates to keeping his name (or his school's name) in the media as much as...

    Transfer Portal Players with Stats

    If there is anyone from Dayton to take, this kid could be it as well... Koby Brea 6'6 SG 49.8% from 3PT 21/23 from the FT line over the last 2 seasons

    Nazr

    These articles indicate that he should have a very good skillset for the type of position that he could fill at UK. If he can perform as the director of basketball operations for an NBA franchise, I would think that could correlate well to doing so in Lexington...in short, this doesn't appear...

    Not a great start for roster building

    Agree with these comments from @kywildcatsfannumber1 & @Lempface... Even if Dallin would've only been a depth piece, yes it would be nice having players who know the system as that would help the rest of the team get on track with it sooner.

    Any talk about position groups that need some new blood via portal?

    Coach Stoops was asked about scholarship numbers after the practice/pseudo- Spring game on Saturday, and he stated they will need to address portal b/c they are currently over the scholarship limit heading into the fall by (I think 4). So, they expect some attrition, so portal targets will...

    Last thought on recruits

    I may be wrong, but I don't think his post was about a total "hired gun" approach like Cal. However, I think the point is kids currently on the roster (Z, Thiero, etc) and even commits (Fland, JQ, etc) may not be automatic losses BECAUSE NIL is in play. If, and I know it may be a big IF...

    At what point do we STOP it with...can he recruit the best.

    If you listened to Pope’s press conference, he mentioned players may be in Lexington from 1-4 years, so he isn’t opposed to guys being able to go early. However, as others have said, I think the only guys who go will be no-brainers. Anyone who would benefit from returning will probably return...

    The #23 Jersey?

    Same - I thought it was peculiar, so while I assumed there was some reason, I had no idea what that reason was

    Aly Khalifa enters transfer portal with "do not contact" tag

    Yeah, he would fall into those additional 2-3 "best available" players... when I was listing BYU transfers, I was just thinking about players from the 23-24 roster.

    Uh Oh, Mitch might be in deep s**t

    Not sure if you are joking, but there have been no trans swimmers at UK. There has been one prominent UK swimmer speak out against trans swimmers being allowed, but that's pretty much the extent of "trans" and swimming at UK.

    Uh Oh, Mitch might be in deep s**t

    Mitch may be sued, but Lars was fired (and definitely should have been) for his behaviors. From what I know of the situation, he was given some leash with boundaries, but I am pretty sure no one in the athletics department at large was complicit in his behaviors. Unless some new, verifiable...

    Aly Khalifa enters transfer portal with "do not contact" tag

    Oh, I totally agree with going all in on keeping a few guys as holdovers from this season that appear they would fit well in Pope's system. This core of a team I think would be a GREAT start: G - Sheppard F - Big Z F - Thiero Possibly one or both of G - Hart F - Burks Then add the 4...
