Chandlers going to be a good one but he’s a year or two away from being close to Kerr. He’s done it at a high level for the last four years and Chandler has been on his mission for the last two. I agree he has some really good potential but it’s not close right now. Will be a great year to learn under some really great college players for sure.It is but Chandler if he gets anywhere close to what he is capable of is better than Krisa
All day every day. I have no idea where the hates coming from, we’re getting a great guard who’s going to be giving his absolute best in his last year to help him with his future. He’s been pretty damn solid his whole career as well. I really think he’ll thrive under this staff. We’ll see I suppose.I would definitely take Krissa over:
Ryan Harrow
Isiah Briscoe
Ashton Hagan
Devin Askew
DJ Wagner
Savier Wheeler
Quade Green
He plays out of control a lot, and fizzles out towards the end of season a lot. His Arizona time he had mathurin who carried them. He isn’t a bad player, i would just want somebody else over himAll day every day.

He’s not bad for a backup guard.He plays out of control a lot, and fizzles out towards the end of season a lot. His Arizona time he had mathurin who carried them. He isn’t a bad player, i would just want somebody else over him
Agree, play making and ball handling is gonna be by committeeHe’s not bad for a backup guard.
He’s probably going to play off the ball a lot, which will cut down his turnovers some. He’s better as a spot up shooter than trying to create for others.
Plus they some snitchesI wouldn't blame him for not wanting to visit UT. That orange is hideous
Ober Gatlinberg is the shiz I’m ready for my lift up the mountain already to go ice skating.Hate to quote my own post but just received a message on HAM radio that UT is also prepared to offer a season pass to Ober Gatlinburg.
Done deal.
Low down dirty snitchesPlus they some snitches

Yeah - BYU almost certainly has deeper pockets… but it’s the code of conductYou know I’d bet you’d be surprised. If the BYU church is truly the “Mormon” university that’s about a trillion untaxed dollars the church could push around if they really wanted to. Almost like Notre Dame and the Catholics. Doubt they care that much about sports but those schools probably have a shocking amount of money at their disposal.
The LDS church is extremely wealthy. To receive "exaltation in the celestial kingdom" one must tithe. It puts a different level of importance on tithing than does Christianity.You know I’d bet you’d be surprised.

Imagine being a UT fan and seeing UK get the 1st visit! It works both ways, and Lanier will pick the best situation for himself and his future. If it’s Tennessee, they simply outbid, nothing more or less.Lanier is visiting Tennessee Tuesday. I don’t like them getting the final visit
Tennessee won’t be money with everything that we know now.Imagine being a UT fan and seeing UK get the 1st visit! It works both ways, and Lanier will pick the best situation for himself and his future. If it’s Tennessee, they simply outbid, nothing more or less.
He’s in LexingtonDo we know if he is visiting UK yet? Or is it later today?
At least 2 that have done it at the college level, not against Utah high schoolers three years ago. He is NOT playing more than Krissa. Pope has wanted Krissa for a while now. He knows what he can do. 4 year proven talent will play more than a unproven freshman. I like Chandler, but not as a day 1 contributor. He has some dues to pay, his time will come.I do too. A three level shooter and scorer that can pressure on defense. How many on the roster can say that?
Carr is not a great on ball defender, most of his blocks comes as a help defender. Garrison will get the 5 back up minutes and MAYBE even some back up 4 minutes when the team needs to go big based on matchups. He is really good at the free throw line in the pick and roll / pick and pop. Also, Garrison will be much improved this year, he was only a freshman and held his own in the Big 12 last year, don't underestimate him, he will get plenty of minutes. It wouldn't surprise me if later in the year, he takes some of Williams minutes, not just as a back up. there is a reason Williams got a little upset when Pope signed garrison, he knows it is a possibility..Don’t underestimate the Carr getting minutes at the 5 though. Carr has legit size, can post and is a shot blocker.
strangely he won a 3 point shooting contestBriscoe was one of our worst 3 point shooters ever. His man could sag so far off him, it really bogged down our offense. I hated that fact, cause he was so good in all other aspects, he just couldn't shoot.
Yeah, I just think he will play some minutes. With 6 seniors going to be hard to get the minutes figured out and the best rotations to use. Read that if we go small ball to get all of our best shooter on the floor together, as of right now with Lanier, we would go Carr at the five, Almonor at the four, Oweh at the three, Brea at the two and Krissa at the one.At least 2 that have done it at the college level, not against Utah high schoolers three years ago.

How could you POSSIBLY know that? Hahaha.I agree. I feel it's more like he prefers UK and would like to be here but if a reasonable deal can't be made then he will visit UT and negotiate possibly some bigger bucks
The LDS fund has billions in it .... fact.The LDS church is extremely wealthy. To receive "exaltation in the celestial kingdom" one must tithe. It puts a different level of importance on tithing than does Christianity.

the universe is a wild place
Oh yeah, then what will it be? Starting spot? Check UK. Minutes? Check UK. National exposure 90% of games? Check UK. Facilities, coaching staff, and fan base? Check UK.If he picks Tennessee it won't be about the money.
That could be very good for Riley's development. Probably wouldn't play a lot as a freshman, but really give him a potential huge jump start for his sophomore year compared to staying in high school.Imagine if Kentucky adds Will Riley in August man
Think he for sure takes all 3 visits. And then makes a decision Thursday-FridayIf the visit concludes today with UK feeling that they're not a shoe-in to get him, I'd move on. Don't give him the luxury of driving up media interest and his own hype.
My roommates at Murray state were all on the basketball team this last year. Code of ethics would definitely be a big factor for them lol.Yes, But they cannot get past the BYU Code of ethics. That is hard to get over or past. Unless the kid is mormon.
Yeah, i get there are ways around that but no one (especially making $$ wants to hide doing anything).
Do you honestly think a college kid who is only going to be there 7-8 months is considered about state income taxThe only thing that scares me in this recruitment is the fact that Tennessee has no income taxes. Cost of living is cheaper in Kentucky but I feel we’d have to outbid them to make up for the taxes.
Also, I feel like this is a tactic that we should be using to recruits is how much cheaper the cost of living is in Kentucky compared to the national average. They would be able to take more money with them when they leave.
