Branham on Jasper

[DraftCat]

I am a devout man of Prayer. Totally believe in Prayer's efficacious power.
I refuse to ask God to help us recruit a ballplayer.
Just saying...

Tongue in cheek comment.... and for the record I as well have never prayed for a recruit.

God doesn't care where he goes

God has a plan for everyone whether *insert players* knows... but we can certainly debate more on Paddock if you start a thread there.

I just hope jasper does not scare off Mullins. Separately, I wonder if pope is going all in in the darryn-peterson-is-a-pg sweepstakes, because we're losing 2 PGs next spring

I certainly hope we’re not replacing 5th year seniors with freshmen.

I assume we will get a new PG via transfer portal.

I think it will be a solid mixture.

4 to 5 freshmen.
4 to 5 returning players.
3 to 4 portal transfers.

Yeah, a bit conflicting. LOL

My hope is after a couple years and continuity we will have 3 freshmen tops (unless of course there are absolute studs we’re getting). Just feel like they are such a toss up with how they perform. Remember how make and break we thought Wagner, one of the absolute can’t miss top HS players that was in the top 5 regardless of class for like 3 years was? Just feel like you actually know what you’re getting with transfers.

I believe Pope would like to build his roster almost entirely through high school recruiting. I can’t imagine he wants to make a habit of needing to add 3 or 4 contributors in April or May every year.

Joe Adams is trying to make it isn’t he. You would think he would give up, but he’s gonna try to fake it until he makes it.

All fair points. I'm with you. I like the idea of Johnson and Moreno at UK as supplemental pieces, with veterans doing most of the heavy hitting. Calipari did it the opposite way, and it didn't work.

That is a perfect mix to me, 4-5 guys with experience in the system who hopefully played or about to start. 4 to 5 talented Freshman who could be OAD talents and a couple who may return to form a nucleus for a couple years, and awesome transfers to plug holes and get go to scorers if needed.
