No. they already have Michael Porter jr and Martin is an alright coach. Johnny jones sucked

Good luck to Knox on ever seeing the ball.Porter is one of the biggest ballhogs I've ever seen.
I don't either.. but he seems to have an issue pulling kids away from Duke and UNC.. probably because of shady recruiting.. Cal kills it against many smaller schools and also taking kids like Monk and Noel from hometowns with a big pull...
Could be wrong.. seems tough to grab Duke/UNC leans.. a guy like Barnes comes to mind..
Who in the past have we REALLY wrangled away from Duke/UNC? It seems a tough out.

Wall, Bam, Randle, Knight, Gabriel and Poythress, come to mind.
It's tough because we don't really overlap often. They don't target many of our guys. Carolina hasn't landed anyone good besides Bradley in a couple of years because Roy knows they'll all stay to get their degree.
It isn't often we're in the final 2-3 with those schools just because one or the other usually blinks first and goes after a new target.
Conversely, who did they beat us for?
Yep. That's why I'm on the Cam Johnson train rather than Knox train. Knox may be the better talent but it's not certain he would be much better than Johnson would be as junior this year. Add that in with the experience and other intangibles that Johnson brings on board and I'm all on that bandwagon. Sign him up Cal! Bamba and Johnson to finish out the class!!

Wait wait wait.. Wall is an interesting scenario.. he was on board with Cal from day 1 it seems.. and wasn't Bam more of an NCState lean? Neither of those guys strike me as heavy Duke/UNC guys. I do remember Gabriel being a strong Duke guy, though..
Luke Kennard comes to mind for Duke.. X Henry and Wiggins come to mind for Kansas.. Actually, in terms of who we lost to, recruiting wise, Kansas seems to have done the best job against Cal/Kentucky..

Word making the rounds is that Knox has some interest in playing with Porter. Not sure if that trumps playing for a big time program (UK, UNCheat) though. He's almost certainly a OAD, why not ,maximize your time in the spotlight?
On a side note, what is it with Cuonzo Martin? Why is he able to pull big name talent to whatever program he is currently at? Very curious. However, it may be nothing...a good father-type relationship he offers similar to Kenny Payne. Hard to figure.

Seems like it is about even to me,you got Gabriel last year who we were very high on
Friendly reminder that Jackson was rated higer than Karl Anthony Towns and Berry and Pinson were rated higer than Booker and Ulis by ESPN coming out of HS. But remember, Ole Roy won with a rag-tag group of veterans.
I think Knox will likely end up with the cheaters BUT I wonder in the back of his mind could he be thinking what the NCAA ruling is going to be against UNC cheaters.
Whomever ranked Jackson higher than KAT should be punched in the dick.
You think Briscoe struggled to shoot outside? Did you watch Pinson? Ekkkkkk, he has a bad, bad jump shot. They won, and won with friends with benefits on the court this time around.
As for Knox, what's he waiting for with UNC? There's plenty of space available. We'll see just how big a lean he is when its over, but he will regret the Mizzou choice. Martin's not flipping that team to a contender in one year.

I'm glad Jackson is gone. I wish he had gone pro last year. He is a damn good player on both sides of the ball and a big reason if not the biggest reason they won the championship.
I haven't heard anything about those guys in a long time.
Just one more reason why I scratch my head at why anyone would go anywhere else but Kentucky right now.
I don't think it matters how deep the guard pool is, Berry isn't an NBA level player. If he were, he would already be there.
Kid was a 5 star and the 11th ranked recruit in his class...it took Roy 3 years to get him to play to his potential of what others could have gotten out of him in year 1. Don't get me wrong, he's damn good...but that just shows you the difference in player development when ppl cry about ppl leaving here after a year...they play to their potential much faster
He should have gone last year.
I think Knox to Mizzou has some legs.
UNCheat could end up mediocre next year.

Kinda surprised about jackson- thought his education was more important to him and that's why he went to uncch.
I saw him play in high school with Justice Winslow and Kelly ombre and was convinced that he was going to be an All-American one and done. He was so much better than those other two were at the time. I think he would have been drafted higher out of high school than he will now. He lost money and didn't improve his draft stock staying at UNC IMO.
