Joe Tipton w/ Yates update

Let’s give them 100k for the next 30 years and be the Dodgers lol.
Exactly, I think he will be motivated to play his best and prove he’s healthy on a big stage.
Wasn't Pierre supposed to visit after the dead period? The fact that he hasn't committed anywhere yet seems like it leaves us in a good spot. Get him to Rupp, Keeneland then to Ruby's for a tomahawk. Then take him to the bar to say hello to Mark Stoops.
I have a feeling of that too.
He also needs to play with toughness. For as strong as he is he plays a little soft.
I love what Pope did with Amari and Jayden should do well with that role. In his film he always looked best when he was driving to the hoop from the top of the key. His handles are really smooth ..maybe more so than Amaris
Don't forget if other teams want these guys, they have $$$ also. It is still recruiting 101. Relationship, culture, Off & Def system, ability to win.
I'm a little annoyed by this recruitment. UK has a squad and Yates can be that final piece.
You can't tell me the money isn't there or close enough.... does he want to win?

Brooks went from UK to UW he is on the Pelicans roster. You never know what is going on in these guys heads!!
I would love Yates, but 3 mil, forget about it. I want great players but also want guys who want to be here. All those guys who just ran out of eligibility for us got it. Just don't want to lose that.
I'd be thrilled with Pierre or stand pat and see if any other big names come out in the next week or so.

Pope should get John Wall on the phone and see if the NBA guys can put together a fund to give the last necessary money to get Pierre or Yates here.
Would make sense since he played at Bama with Diaboute.
Can't help but feel Yates is the missing link to next year's team.
So many times we've been just one player short.

Griffen’s numbers really took a dip when he went to KU.
That team was very dysfunctional.

Griffin is only a good pickup if you already have someone like Yates/Pierre or a Reeves/Monk who is a legit #1 option.
You absolutely can’t take him with the expectation of him being your go to guy/outside shooter.

Same on those guys, but personally I like Perre better. Shot mechanics are much better and his athleticism is next level.
Either would be phenomenal though.
Out of the 2000 portal players, I would say there are more than 1 that could make the difference. I like Yates a ton, he has the tools and is young. Lets get one more guy that can get his and we should be fine. You get too many in the portal and you might find guys on the team that want to leave. The Pierre guy is the same way, we miss on both there are several others being mentioned. We will always want our guys but if the coaches move on there is a reason.
Is Wilkerson considered IU favorite? Are we in on him at all. I just see those splits and think we should be offering or trying to offer?
Gotta give the dodgers props, they make the money and aren’t afriad to spend it, we have 7 superstars, screw it let’s get 8.
I think Griffen and Storr were both stifled by Kansas’s offense. They just don’t fit what Self does well. He does better with ISO scorers and big men.
I read that he was going to start taking visits after the final four. He is one of Auburns top recruits. Duke is said to be one of the favorites. Also Alabama, Kansas, UK and a few others have been mentioned with him. He shot about 45% from the three, so he may be the best shooter to get. And at 6-5 205 he could play the 2 or 3 I would imagine.
