Wow....I don't call that stacked on any level.

1. Hoping for a guard that shot 38% FG, 26% 3pt, 5.5 ass is good but 3 TO is poor....that is Wheeler/Askew/Saul Smith level sfuff
2. Giving Garrison starting C...that is major risk to me.
3. It seems like all the potential is in Oweh and Kam Williams at the wings....whcih I like those two alot
4. Banking on major production from the 3 Fr is risky if Lowe/Pierre falter
5. Pope missing on Caleb Wilson at PF, PG for sure in portal, C in portal, etc.... feels like Pope's warts on ability to attract talent to UK

I don;t see that as UK level talent to get back to being a 1-2 seed and top of SEC......not good omen for Pople to be missing this many targets.
You bring up great points that need addressed careful you'll have the pitch forks out after you around here in 3......2.....1.....
 
Can we get one of you smart guys to make a thread for just the portal guys that UK has made contact with and/ or is interested in bringing in? I think it would make it a lot easier and more condensed.

In my opinion, what you’re overlooking here in bucsrule’s hypothetical lineup is Lendeborg and Folgueiras. I’m not sure there will be a better PF in college next season than either of these two, and bucsrule is theorizing UK gets both. Only Calipari would think about giving freshman Caleb Wilson any time over either one of these guys. Actually, that would be a joke or probably worse, it might generate a point-shaving investigation. I would take issue with bucsrule’s starting lineup, however. With those players, Garrison would not be starting. The starting frontcourt would be Lendeborg and Folgueiras. Combine those two with the rest of that hypothetical team and on paper (e.g., assuming no chemistry issues, etc.) UK is indeed stacked.
 
I think he played on a team that needed him to be a scorer, so he took way more shots than he needed to. So probably a best player in a crap team scenario, which would explain the poor shooting.

Sounds like Lendeborg is out for us.

Yeah, if true I'm not surprised really. You'd have to sell Lendeborg and Folgueiras on starting together because both are too good in my opinion to come in knowing they're very possibly a backup (even though Pope wants to play 2nd unit guys a ton of minutes). I think they would be a great starting frontcourt together, but still even assuming the money etc. is right I imagine it's not easy to sell that vision to two top PFs.
