Wilson has hinted at uk multiple times now, if anything he hasn’t hinted at unc at all.This Wilson recruitment feels like another Brandon Wright saga because we all expected Brandon Wright to commit to the Cats but he chose North Carolina. I have followed high school basketball recruiting for 30 plus years with that said I haven’t seen one time Wilson has given a hint he’s coming to UK.
It’s not even a joke anymore. Someone actually check Calipari for dementia.Calipari didn't know their game with Pacific was on Monday, he thought it was Saturday (go figure). He got confused and since there was no game I wonder if that's why he cancelled. Regardless Cal is so out of touch.
He said he Loved Coach Davis and UNCWilson has hinted at uk multiple times now, if anything he hasn’t hinted at unc at all.
He did, but he has done alot more flirting with uk. His buddy comitted here, he was at the champions classic and tweets about uk all the time. At the is point it would be a upset for him not to be at KentuckyHe said he Loved Coach Davis and UNC
Caleb Wilson is like the Pennsylvania electoral votes of recruiting. All the polls are saying UK the same way the polls said Trump.He did, but he has done alot more flirting with uk. His buddy comitted here, he was at the champions classic and tweets about uk all the time. At the is point it would be a upset for him not to be at Kentucky
I hope so but I don’t have a good feeling at all with this recruitment. I think when the final player rankings come out in this 25 class Wilson will be in the top 3.He did, but he has done alot more flirting with uk.

Who is the "we" you're alluding to? I've always wanted elite OAD players.So, do we want one and done recruits now? When did that change?
Cut him some slack. His hogs are looking rough. And he’s taking his frustration out on us.Who is the "we" you're alluding to? I've always wanted elite OAD players.
That will never change for me.
Maybe you just conjoin everyone you disagree with into one massive pile of goo so help expand your straw man arguments?
Great points. Hope all of the negative Nancys read this.I'm not sure why it has to be a "dream" thought. Oweh is a tweener by NBA standards. Decent, but not great shooter. 6'5", which is small for an NBA three man, but he's also not an elite ball handler for the two-spot.
We've become so accustomed to marginal talent leaving that we expect every fringe g-leaguer to leave, but Oweh isn't even a 2nd round pick at this point.
Meanwhile, programs like UConn routinely return their g-league-level guys. Why shouldn't UK under Pope expect the same, especially in a day-and-age where NIL can pay a kid like Oweh comparable a salary to what the G-league can offer?
We need to change the way we look at these situations from here on out.
He is loving his best life and is about to be rich, I can’t exactly blame him.I want Caleb but he sure loves the attention. I don't recall hearing so much about 1 player before during a recruitment.
I agree I am more worried about a big offer to transfer. He is exactly the type guy like Lewis we should build the program around. Have guys here 2-3 years before they go pro and are truly ready but talented enough to go to final fours while here. Surround them with older seniors and pro potential freshman.I'm not sure why it has to be a "dream" thought. Oweh is a tweener by NBA standards.

I think we’ve got a real chance. The wanting to play with your best friend factor is real.One of two things:
1. He's ready to pick Kentucky or UNC.
2. He's merely rescheduling his Arkansas visit. I don't think he flakes out on visiting Arkansas for as long as he's been getting recruited by Calipari.
Does his love for Hubert Davis outweigh his love for playing with Lewis? I doubt it, but who knows. We've seen weirder things happen and recruiting, and to be honest, this one has felt uphill the entire way. If Pope snags Wilson, it will end up being one of the most "come from behind" recruitment wins in UK history. We didn't even have a chance at this kid as late as this summer.
Yeah but with the way Oweh has been playing I could see a team promising him a late first early second pick if he keeps this level up all yearI'm not sure why it has to be a "dream" thought.

Like I said, I don’t like it 😐This Wilson recruitment feels like another Brandon Wright saga because we all expected Brandon Wright to commit to the Cats but he chose North Carolina.

All while ESPN is saying that UNC is gonna win despite the numbers shown on TV.Caleb Wilson is like the Pennsylvania electoral votes of recruiting. All the polls are saying UK the same way the polls said Trump.
It's going to be close on election night, but in the end, UK is landing this kid the same way Trump landed PA.
I think he could be a guaranteed second round guy but they usually won’t draft guys like him in the first unless he’s like AA level next year.Yeah but with the way Oweh has been playing I could see a team promising him a late first early second pick if he keeps this level up all year
I could just as easily see the NBA ignoring him the same way they did Chaz Lanier, Jaxson Robinson, and dozens of other guys who are really good college players.Yeah but with the way Oweh has been playing I could see a team promising him a late first early second pick if he keeps this level up all year
Don'tworryaboutit23 still has his mindset tied to Cal pushing kids out the door whenever the G-League winked at them. Those days are done. We'll lose guys to the draft, but it won't be because Pope blesses premature departures the same way Cal did.I think he could be a guaranteed second round guy but they usually won’t draft guys like him in the first unless he’s like AA level next year.
For sure all the guys you mentioned are either boom or bust.I could just as easily see the NBA ignoring him the same way they did Chaz Lanier, Jaxson Robinson, and dozens of other guys who are really good college players.
If he was 6'7", I'd be worried about him leaving. At 6'5" with decent but not great handles and shooting, not so much.
I never was as confident as some others on here that we were going to get Wilson. But knowing that he was at the game when we beat Duke & got to see & hear the BBN in person. And then he cancels on Arkansas again, it looks like we're a pretty strong leader to sign him.
It just seems so obvious that I hope he's not trolling us. LOL Who was the kid that was wearing the UK practice stuff a few years ago right before he committed to what I think was Florida?
If he does, then, without the risk of sour grape speech, we didn't want him. This is not a place you can use anymore for leverage. There will be no more dull Sharpes.It just seems so obvious that I hope he's not trolling us.

Maybe so.Who is the "we" you're alluding to? I've always wanted elite OAD players.

Damn you told us that's what you were doing when Kentucky beat Duke the other nightI just watched a highlight tape of his JR year and I came away with one thought.....
I get him being excited about being rich, but you can be classy and respectful toward people's time AND be excited about being rich. A lot of these kids have been put on a pedestal for so long that they think the world revolves around them, and couldn't possibly care less how others are affected. I guess I was raised differently.He is loving his best life and is about to be rich, I can’t exactly blame him.
I haven’t seen him do anything other than talk great about Kentucky, just because he doesn’t make a decision when we want it doesn’t mean he’s not classy.I get him being excited about being rich, but you can be classy and respectful toward people's time AND be excited about being rich.

Cal just wanted another feather in his cap for getting “another league guy”, but not worried about whether the player would stick n get the 2nd contract…Don'tworryaboutit23 still has his mindset tied to Cal pushing kids out the door whenever the G-League winked at them. Those days are done. We'll lose guys to the draft, but it won't be because Pope blesses premature departures the same way Cal did.
I saw a podcast last night with Teague and Lamb talking to Cal, and Cal bragged about how he didn't pressure either of them to reconsider their early exists. Meanwhile, Teague should have definitely come back and ended up hurting his NBA career because of leaving early.
Pope's not going to hold the door open for them the way Cal used to.
Making people wait around, when you likely know your decision, just becuase you love the attention, isn't classy in my book. If I were in their shoes I wouldn't do that.,I haven’t seen him do anything other than talk great about Kentucky, just because he doesn’t make a decision when we want it doesn’t mean he’s not classy.
