This looks like Julius Randle’s HS tape.

This kid would be perfect in Pope's system. Would love it if he would just pull the trigger and commit to UK.

We'll see how he performs in college but if he came here he'd maybe be the best day 1 pro prospect we've had since....De'Aaron Fox? Sounds like hyperbole but when I sit and think about it, it's been quite a drought of top end talent.

Reed Sheppard hard to top as a recent day 1 prospect, although I acknowledge he wasn’t on NBA radar and wasn’t highly valued by the media. Time proved he was absolutely that dude and then some. So excited for the possibility of Wilson though.

I think you are using "day 1" in the context of day 1 of the NBA draft? Is this correct?

I believe the other poster is using day 1 in the context of day 1 on UK's campus. Reed was not a high end NBA prospect when he stepped foot on UK's campus.

Yes he would, when he gets more muscle on his frame he will be tough. He’s gonna be an NBA player, but at worst I think he’s a college star. I think he’s coming for sure I just wish he would announce a date already! He at least finally narrowed his final list.

Good point.

Probably since Dillingham coming into college. He was basically projected lottery coming in. Justin Edwards probably ranked as highly as far as the league, let’s hope he’s more Julius Randle and less Dragon/Edwards.

He had at least 3 and 1’s that weren’t called on his makes in that one clip.

Maxey is no slouch.

No I was meaning “Day 1” in college production.

True, but Maxey struggled early in the year. We remember him going berserk against Michigan State but he was not great otherwise until later in the year.

Hmm, well I don't personally see Reed as the best example, but I still don't think everybody is on the same page about what is even being said.

I am biased toward Reed lol. Admittedly, he’s one of my favorite Cats
