This just feels like one where Kentucky has to much ground to overcome and doesn’t have a shot at all. He is Tennessee’s to lose
Chaz Lanier #1 in offensive efficiency last year.
- Thread starter Son_Of_Saul
- Start date
At this point it feels like Jaxson Robinson is the only one we have a good shot at.
Poplar if they really press it they can get him. Robinson is there number one guy for sure
I'm not sure it matters that much if you surround him with the defenders like Oweh, Williams, and Butler.
apparently he contacted us today, because we are now linked with him in the last hour as talking and he has a do not contact, so therefore he had to contact us.
I think people saw the Joe Tipton article and just assumed Kentucky is a player
Rather have Lanier than anybody in the portal. He's an incredible talent.
Pretty big list for a guy with a no contact tag
Illinois can throw a bag at him nobody else can right now, Duke would be scary with him, he would be the guy at Tennessee, he would be out first option, Maryland he can play with his friend
He's had plenty of time to choose Tennessee if he was such a lock there. Yet he hasn't, I think he ends up elsewhere. We should use our new war chest to bring this guy aboard. Then we can pre-order our 2024-2025 Final Four tickets.
Someone started a 'boom tomorrow ' thread on HOB at 9:23pm tonight. I wonder who that could be about.
Hopefully it's a scoring wing from the Robinson, Lanier, Poplar, and Richmond quartet.
It would have to be Robinson wouldn’t you think
If he sets up a visit I will actually start to belive there is something here. As of now he is Tennessees to lose
Guys, don't do this to yourselves. There is ZERO chance, LESS than zero, that Lanier comes to Kentucky.
Forget it and move on.

Kentucky linked to high-scoring guard Chaz Lanier
Are the Cats a contender for the talented guard?

He would make up for the loss of Osobor. Being able to play the one or two our backcourt would be electrifying. Being 6-4 200 we could probably go with three guards in some situations. Imagine for a moment Lanier, Brea and Kerr together. Lightning strikes all over the court.
He looks like a heavy Tennessee lean, but it's only 3 hours and change from Nashville to Lexington. Lanier's family lives in Nashville. It's a 2 hour and 45 minute drive from Nashville to Knoxville.
If he wants to be around family, Kentucky still puts him close to them.
That's fine. He's a premium talent, obviously, but UK is still looking at Robinson as a probable addition. Robinson probably wouldn't scare guys like Brea and Oweh the way Lanier would.
Odd that UT has been the perceived destination all along and he has not committed and even lists a ton of other schools he is interested in.
I think a lot of people assumed he was a UT lock initially because he had that "do not contact" tag on him. If he has a list, that can't be the case anymore.
I think you push for Lanier and Robinson and live with the consequences if one of our other wings suddenly wants out due to their arrival.
I'm friends with a guy, who's son played at UNF with Chaz, and unless something absolutely drastic happens, it's UT. It's 99 percent UT.
Which is a bummer, because he'd be the best player on UK next year.

I'm going to give my friend a call later this morning, to see if there is anything new.
