My only concern is that his first 3 years he wasn’t that good at high mid majors, then goes to low mid-major and blows up. So is he a result of his competition?

Antonio Reeves year 1 at Kentucky wasn’t great. Year 2 was amazing. I can’t speak for the kid here because I’m not familiar enough but I think it’s fair to acknowledge sometimes guys blossom late, sometimes coaching factors impede progress etc.
His athleticism is great
So his game should be translated into bigger stage more easily
Nice! Kid reminds me alot of Keyshawn Hall, who is one of the kids in the portal I want the most. I beg we get one of Hall or this kid. We need a legit scorer like this.
Players improve. But Reeves was good year 1 at UK, I think shot 40% from 3. But yeah he was significantly better year 2. On a 1-10 scale, Reeves 2yr jump was going from 6.5 to 8.5 or 9, but the 2 years at the same school. This guy for 3 years was like a 3.5 and then he sits out a year ends up at a lesser school and is an 8, that is a much bigger leap. So reasonable to question how much of that was due to a drop in competition.
Only one of those portals has committed and we are already jumping to a national championship. That seems about right.
Yes because we still have to pay Braden Smith, Yaxel, and Alvaro
Pierre reminds me a bit of Brandon Knight offensively. I'll take that anytime!
I would go all out to get Pierre because he can play PG to
He seems to have the best size and athleticism in remaining mid major guard prospect
Pierre and Demary look to be similar players to me. About the same size, build, both stud athletes, 3-point percentages close to the same. You'd get 2 years with Demary but I'd be thrilled with either.
Get one of these guys and use the potential Braden Smith money on Yaxel and another key cog.

That jet tracker app shows the jet Pope uses was in Tuscaloosa the other day…wonder if he was down there seeing Pierre 🤞🏼🤞🏼
This looks to be the one he used to visit Demary over the weekend. It's based in Jeffersonville, Ind. Not sure why. It's been in Jefferson, Georgia all day today. Close to Athens. Doubt he's visiting Demary again or if he's even on the plane. But here's the tail number.
Pierre looks like the best true two guard we would have had in a long time. Can score it all three levels. Excellent shooter and form. Willing passer. Moves like a Michael Jordan. A true go to guy when you need a basket. Pro size for the position. Plays hard and competitive.
afer the Gwath fiasco, I wouldn't count on anything
Yeah we gonna miss on every one. Just log off and go to sleep every one
It’s not time to panic, but I do think pope needs to stop telling some of these guys they are only gonna play 25 mins a game
I wonder if trills and others were all playing g a cruel April fools joke on us BBN.
Fingers or no fingers.. we now need this guy and need to start making some moves.
I know we were interested when he first entered the portal, but haven't heard anything since.
After watching his vidoes, he is now my favorite portal player.
But yet we have people thinking portal guys will commit here to be 8-10 bench pieces! Folks it isn't happening! Everyone of these guys want PT!
You want Bench pieces you will have to sign freshman who aren't ready!

So explain last off szn when we signed Kerr, Brea, AA & Garrison
IMO Kerr and AA were ok with playing 20 min or less! Maybe I should've stated "impact" portal pieces! You will have most come to share a 3 man rotation between the 4-5 position! But very few will come to share the 4-5 with 4! Same goes for 1-3! Butler//Robinson/Brea/oweh/kerr! 5 guys for 1-3 might get commits.
But when you have 5 already coming, it's hard to get a 6th, unless it's a undeveloped talent! Then you can't count on that either. JMO
We were hit with injuries, and are fortunate that we had developmental pieces like chandler/Noah that were able to give enough to get us to the S16.
I think it’s a lot of give and take with everything.
Honestly if some of these dudes are worried that 25mpg isn’t enough then screw em.
