how many years does he have left, 1 or 2. If he's not a cancer, then who cares how many schools he went to before now. He would be as starter and finish his career here and I trust Pope to know if the kids attitude fits
Deivon Smith PG Stud
- Thread starter ukhoopsfanatic
- Start date
If we get Williams and Osobor we need shooters at all the 1-3 spots so I'm not sure he's the best
fits as there are several points available that are really good 3 point shooters.
Hit 41 percent of shots from behind the arc last season.
Yeah, if you look at how many in the portal shot over 40 from three it is worrisome that we could have to surround the bigs with guys that shoot the three in the 30's. Some of these aren't even looking around much. Just picking a place and going.
I'd like to see ONE the OP has predicted, come on board. Just let it ride until....
He isn't coming here. Too many good teams needing only a player or two where he can see how he fits. Its hard to get top players to come when the boat is empty. Thats why Reed didn't come back.
I wonder who Pope prefers between Smith and Javon Small? Doubt we would get both. Sounds like Smith is the better "pure" PG, but Small is much bigger physically and a superior spot-up shooter. He visited Miami without committing and it sounds like we're still in a good spot with him.
In a perfect world we get a package deal from Oklahoma State with a nice backup big man in Brandon Garrison and a stud guard with Small.

Brandon Garrison is set to visit UK. Maybe we can get them both. Garrison might be a starting caliber player. He was a burger boy coming out of high school. Top 50 prospect.

lol. You can’t be serious. Just put the bong down for 2 seconds and admit you don’t know what you are talking about more than half the time. Geez. 29-71 from distance and “he cant shoot” is just plain goofy.

Go look at his other years of shooting. 29/71 isn’t a large sample size for a guard. And if pope get these two big guys(neither one are shooters) then it’s an issue similar to what cal had
He’s a POINT GUARD. 29/71 is enough of a a sample size

He will commit this weekend.’
He shot 41 percent from 3 last year
He sounds like a guy that has put a lot of work into his shot and is only getting better
Give me a hard worker like that any day
Smith/Brea/Robinson/Great/Amari
with Collins/Saunders/Perry and 1 or 2 more portal guys would be a solid team

This is a guy I want badly to take the PG spot next year. Big time competitor and tough along with productive. But #1 thing I like-he can play with pace and efficiently. He doesn't get way out of control-he can go hyper speed and maintain the pace and get ball moving and easy hoops for teammates or himself.
Think peanut butter and jelly. I actually have no clue but probably.
Isn't Mahaney also visiting this weekend? If we got both that would just about take care of our one and two positions. Those two with Perry and Chandler. Maybe one more?
I’m pretty sure they can. Mahaney is combo guard
I still feel as if the risk in hiring Pope was not equal to the possible reward. That’s just me. Like him better than Cal though.
5 triple doubles in a season is impressive
Yes both confirmed for this weeknd
Good queation in my book... i had the same concern about mahaney. I read about his efficiency rating and it was not great; especially when compared to the way people speak of him
We played against him twice a few years ago during the 9 win season. He didn't do much in those games as a freshman. He was behind DJ Stewart and Molinar.
On3 has Smith and Mahaney as the No. 2 and 3 uncommitted PGs remaining. Javon Small is No. 1 on their list.
There's going to be plenty of shooting guards and wings available. We need to lock up a proven point guard quickly. There's not many of them out there.
