Yes they will. The top 10 will anyway.
If you mix 3 top 7/8 kids with experience... You will be hard to beat. Your stars need to be older guys though
Darius Adams... requests release from UCONN
- Thread starter wldctky
- Start date

Unless they are a top 5, maybe Cooper Flaff type I am not sure I would waste any time recruiting Freshman anymore- crazy, crazy now as far as recruiting, NIL, transfer portal etc
Just too much money for an awful lot of risk, and the very real chance that you won't even tap into close their potential when they can transfer at will after 1 year.
You almost at this point would rather some other school to try them out first.
If they weren't KY kids they would have already left probably. Moreno really gonna have to battle to get mins especially.
I dont blame the kid at uconn for leaving if he was promised one thing and then was recruited over. Prevents chemistry issues before the season by him leaving.
There are tons of guys from 10-30 who are huge contributors as freshmen every year. I mean, Duke had a guy who was 10-20 and another guy in the 50s who were starters all year.
Rob and Reed were in that range last year.
Brandon Miller at Bama the year before.
Just have to get the right guys. Sometimes those are HS kids between 10-30. Might not want to base all your success on those guys, but expecting them to be contributors is more than fine.
Each passing day makes Pope's decision to not cave in earlier to portal players' demands a very smart decision. He has a rather large and growing selection of players to focus on.
Likely already signed his LOI, and possibly
No team wants to be seen as not allowing a player to decommit if the request comes before the player ever arrives on campus. It could hurt future recruiting.
Exactly. They probably COULD say no, but they would look like major dicks if they did.
I’d be intrigued if Kentucky got involved honestly. He’s rated higher than Acaden Lewis and he’s known as a sweet jump shooter.
Could you imagine if Bobby Knight was around & coaching today & one of his players came into his office & said to Knight that they needed to rework his contract & that he wanted more money in his NIL contract. WOW talk about a thermonuclear meltdown. How awesome would that be
Should recruit hs guys either is 100% good enough to play a lot in day 1 or just bench warmer development pieces
He looks like a UCONN player FR. Maybe a Dukie but he’s got that look to him.
