I think you just mis-pronouned they/them.
Amari Williams to Kentucky
- Thread starter Crankdatmustard
- Start date
That sucks. I was hoping we could land that kid.

Hurley is established and was likely in on this kid while Pope was still recruiting the limited talent he could contact out west. Yes, money is part of it, but Hurley's proven and they're losing a ton from this last year's team.
Once McNeely stepped on UConn's campus for his visit, it was pretty much signed, sealed, and delivered. Even before that, I saw scuttlebutt that said he was 90% UConn and that UK was the remaining 10. I gotta give it to Hurley – he's a smooth bastard.
An unknown coach with no track record. Pope has a chance to prove he can do it with portal players. If he can do that then he will start land these type players.

Do you think that it never even entered McNeeley's mind that UK might give him more money than UConn? Why the rush and not at least check us out?
I don't have an answer for that. I don't know that Hurley is the type to threaten to remove an offer like Saban did of his recruits talked to other programs, but. I suppose that's an option.
More likely, I have to assume that McNeely just loved his visit that much. Maybe he got a huge NIL deal. Maybe he was promised a starting role and an opportunity to lead the charge for the three-peat. I don't know how Hurley recruits, so really, it's all just conjecture until the truth comes out in an interview.
As long as it's just a prediction, anything is possible. We need him on campus ASAP. Someone contact a grad student and have them remove all the pens from the basketball offices in return for a 30-rack of Busch lattes and an extra large pizza.
If we have learned anything he'll be BACK in the portal again after a year lol
This has to be about the 18th such insider type tweet suggesting this kid is very likely/certainly heading to Kentucky, but nothing official yet. I fully expect about 18 more such prognosticating tweets before we ever hear anything confirmed.
Bro, you're not gonna believe where I'm prognosticating Amari Williams to go.
And you're right. It reminds me of being a kid counting down on the playground.
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... 1/2... 1/4... 1/8... 1/100....
Until Pope has a track record, I wouldn't count on us beating UConn for any recruits.
Just so you guy know, I , very unexpectedly walked into an incredible source with this staff.
Hope it sticks in the future.
GBB.

Why would potheads choose Hitlers birthday to celebrate? Probably self-explanatory
wants to be a one and done and try for a 3-peat?

Me too, I still believe Reed is coming back
Really Iike that Mahoney kid. He's kind of in the hero, Sheppard, mould.
I don't think many kids care about the name on the front of the jersey, anymore.
lol no one cares about the name on the front of the jersey. No one.
When Pope spoke a week ago the folks on here saying that was the best thing they heard were too many to count. How a week changes things in this honorees society
McNeely may be the better player long term but if I'm Mark Pope, I am more comfortable relying on portal transfers who have already proven themselves against college competition.
It looks like you've been here awhile so I believe you. That's an awful long troll game, if not! Thank you for passing along what you hear and don't get discouraged by doubters.

He's a consistently good poster on the Lair. I'm surprised so many people jumped down his throat even without the clarification that he came upon a solid source. Would've helped his case earlier, but still.
>*sniff*< None of them got the chance to see a horse destroyed on the backstretch.
Yeah, I can see some guys wanting to play for who is winning now. What I don't get most people say it is about the money for most recruits now. Now all the sudden there are a few players it's not all about money.
I still count like that when my husband makes something to eat that I maybe don't think looks appealing.
