Getting Holland would have been great, but I guess I'll "settle" for returning Collins or Livingston.

ESPN rankings have and always will be a joke

 

[drew_ukfan]

Hope it translates to #10

All is well in BBN right now with regard to Basketball next year. Now, it is time for the team to step up and beat Michigan State. GBB!!

Reminds me of 2016 when UK beat Duke in November and on the day before and the day after the game, Monk and Bam committed to Kentucky.

Cal's doing what he does best in generating hype. Our program needs some good press.

Glad to see this class locked up. Now all of the drama will come from returnees and the portal and that’s all gravy at this point in my book.

Which ranking should we use then?

They dont look funny this year.

Rivals, 24/7… ESPN is consistently terrible.

for reference Cason Wallace was 21st in his class last year. So yeah

 

[Elliott Tim]

Good for you.

 

[BigBlueManSouthCentralKY]

Looks like the one will be Wagner. Gives us four pure guards to rotate around. Just what you need.

 

[Fox2monk]

Sophomore Livingston would be better than a Freshman Holland. Junior Collins would probably be as well.

It started when they ranked John Wall 5th. Remember that?

That said, ESPN is a gatekeeper of media exchange. We don't have to hear how Duke had the top class next year. We can listen to games again and here how stacked we are. By the way, the 247 composite is almost identical to ESPN's rankings this year. Maybe ESPN just copied/pasted those rankings from 247.

THIS! No matter how terrible their rankings, that’s the rankings they ALWAYS reference during games and any ESPIN affiliation.

Bull market.

 

[BlueBomb]

The top point guard, the top shooting guard, the top small forward and the #2 center.

I'll take it.
