Acaden Lewis Commits to UK!!

[Dontworryboutit23]

Is he legit?

Ehh. He is just takes others info and acts like he has inside sources. Anyways he is probably wrong. Wilson just said he is announcing a top 5 soon.

Didn't Acuff commit to Arkansas and isn't he more highly rated than any of our recruits currently? What am I missing? I'm still glad we moved on from Calipari because recruiting doesn't equal program success but I think if we start comparing our recruits to one of the best recruiters ever we are asking to be disappointed.

You can spot the trolls real easy. Any UK fan would know Cowl signing top talent doesn’t mean shit. Amirite TCU?

I think it’s a 3 horse race for his services, UK, Arkansas and UNC.

Maybe people will start to realize that Cal's recruiting classes were more about Kentucky than Cal. I am not suggesting that Cal can't recruit, but his recruiting class rankings certainly skyrocketed after coming to Kentucky.

I would still gladly take boogie fland on this years Kentucky roster

Johnson, Moreno, now Lewis ..... The key takeaway, I've thought it for YEARS now, and I read it from a fresh recruit .... Lewis : "Coach Pope's newness to the team was one of the bigger things you have to look at as a recruit...."

Did his homework, made his decision, and chose UK. Not the other team with UK in the name, or "Flava' of the Northeast" ..... ESPN ....

I'm sorry, folks, I mean UCONN. That was a typo. MY BAD!

Loving the positive vibes from the NEW LOOK Kentucky Wildcats! I've not been truly pumped like this for a long time.

Making 50 years as a Kentucky basketball fan feel just that... fresh and NEW!

Go Big Blue !

What the heck does your post have to do with my comments? I didn't say Fland wasn't a good player. However, I will say that Cal developed his relationship with Fland as the coach of UK.

You’re talking about Cal’s recruiting being inflated because of Kentucky, when he took a guy with him who would be the best player or second best on this roster we have now. Cal has recruited every level he has been, and will recruit every level he is at. I’m not his biggest fan, but cal got most of the players here because of his connections and his interests aligning with the players.

If we get Wilson, we probably won’t have the money to invest in a superstar level guy at PF.

Are we paying Wilson a million plus and then another 4 man a million (remember Osobor reportedly brought in 2 mill) and have them split time at that position?

Wouldn’t that be money better spent at a different position?

Even at this level, money is finite. Can’t just buy whoever you want. And other teams have money too, so they can outbid us.

If we don’t get Wilson, we have the money to get a quality vet at the 4. But with Wilson, it’s going to be a backup level guy like Almonor.

I’m sure the staff has a budget and knows how much to spend on each position.

The portal talent pool may be a little thin next spring due to no more super seniors and as always if they're in the portal, they're not good enough to get drafted.

1 for 5 from 3 not very impressive in TCU exhibition

Cow. I really hate his face now especially realizing how much he’s let the school and fan base down.

Yes, but he can do the one thing nobody on this roster outside of Jaxson Robinson can do. And that’s create offense and win 1vs1 matchups. Every team in CBK needs somebody like that.

 

[ccukuk]

He personally said he was up to 195 lbs now and much stronger.

Great because 170 definitely sounded low.

 

[trueblujr2]

One more. Next years roster is going to be absolutely loaded. If we get as many shooters around these guys as we have this year, watch out. Talent, experience, and a system that works.

Get Wilson, then a couple of high profile transfers and we could be in great shape.

 

[NerlensCat]

That is currently true, but once others start consistently making threes, they will be able to pump fake and create something in a similar way. Steph is the best shooter ever, but he is also a very solid pump and drive player, because he has to be guarded so close at the three point mark.

Oweh Butler and Kriisa can all do that. Fland looked good in one game but were really not sure what he will do against good competition.

Oweh can in spurts, but butler and krisa can not. They can pass to teammates in a system but winning 1vs1 matchups is not something either one can do
