Does Pope bring any of his players with him? Any worth bringing to Lexington?

 

[DraftCat]

Yes he will bring 2-3 in my opinion.

 

[Catfan2226]

Hall and Robinson would be great adds. Khalifa is a good bench piece.

 

[WyleECoyote]

The question isn't will he bring any, the question is how many.

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

Hall does not have UK on his updated list.

Yes he will bring a few to help implement his system and they are definitely on the level of playing at UK…

 

[bookerfan66]

Robinson is good.

 

[Slowwalker]

I would say that our roster winds up being this:

2-4 BYU players
2-4 current players
1-2 high school recruits
4-6 portal transfers

Just my opinion…

Hall just made a list and Kentucky wasn’t a option

That might be good news.Pope has someone better in mind.

 

[CatsFanIL]

I forget which ones exactly, but there were 2 BYU players who entered the portal with a "Do Not Contact" label, so I'd expect those guys to follow Pope to UK, but that's just speculation

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Robinson, Saunders, and one or 2 other guys would be my guess

I like Noah Waterman.

I’m hoping it’s Javon small

What I think happened was Pope told him he probably won’t get to start and that he’ll be trying to recruit more accomplished players at his position. I’m sure Pope would’ve loved to have a PG who already knows his offense to hit the ground running and later transition into a back up role. But given the list I’m guessing Hall wasn’t ok with that.

At least that’s my completely uninformed take.

Thanks for the update, I hadn't seen his updated portal list

 

[Cats192]

Robinson and Khalifa probably come. I thought Hall would, but he doesn't have us on his list--that tells me we already have another PG lined up.
