I'm assuming Germany.Where is this kid from ?
You are correct, just watched part of a video and said he wants to make a decision before his senior year.I'm assuming Germany.
Ummm..the German flag he's holding not tip you off?Where is this kid from ?
Did not even pay attention to it.Ummm..the German flag he's holding not tip you off?
I really believe a lot of it is how good they are shooting and scoring. Most of the guys he goes after are really good shooters and scorers. And a lot of those kind are 4 stars. Also, he may pick out the better team players. JMOBut why are we offering 4 stars like Reine and Mullins? It’s like this coach doesn’t get it. He’s going to have to develop these type players. Forcing them into a preset system.
Get 6 5* stars and roll with it. Figure out what the best style for them is as the season progresses.
Exactly. That's why this kid would be great. This 5* nonsense has to stop. We're done "rolling with it". That's why Pope was brought in here, to fix the crap that Cal had going. Nothing beats experience.But why are we offering 4 stars like Reine and Mullins? It’s like this coach doesn’t get it. He’s going to have to develop these type players. Forcing them into a preset system.

Surely you saw the dripping sarcasm in his post. Surely.I really believe a lot of it is how good they are shooting and scoring. Most of the guys he goes after are really good shooters and scorers. And a lot of those kind are 4 stars. Also, he may pick out the better team players. JMO
I would rather Carr’s replacement be a portal guy. I want a big strong upperclassman that can handle the physicality of the SEC.We will need three giants like this year so Moreno would be Williams replacement and Reibe would be Carr's replacement. Then a guy like Cenac, Ament or Bundalo as Alomor's replacement. Would give us four bigs and all will be athletic and can score.
Just playing along.Surely you saw the dripping sarcasm in his post. Surely.
I think the only guys you can count on sticking around until their Senior years are Perry and Noah. And that’s still a maybe, because they may not be good enough to ever get a shot. But Kentucky boys are probably the only players that will have the patience and desire to stick around for four years. That has been the case for a while. It’s no coincidence that about the only players that played four years for Cal were Kentucky boys.With the way that the portal and new NIL rules have impacted transfer, I don’t see many of these projects coming to fruition, at least not at UK.
We may only see 1-2 players who actually see minutes stick around. Much of our incoming class will be players who have developed under another program and coach and transferred in.
If people think our departure rate was bad with Cal and for some reason are hoping it changes with Pope, good luck. We will see just as many leave the program for the transfer portal. For those that want to see freshman turn into men as seniors and watch the grow, again, good luck. Our juniors and seniors are currently enrolled or being recruited by another coach and program.
I don’t completely agree, but it won’t stop completely like some seem to think. The involvement of agents has poisoned most loyalties. If you get them to stay, it is because you gave them a raise.With the way that the portal and new NIL rules have impacted transfer, I don’t see many of these projects coming to fruition, at least not at UK.

I love it.Reibe could come in here, take Carr's place, play next to Garrison, and not say a word about it. Let's go 6-11, 7-0 and 6-9 at times.
Built for June 2027.But why are we offering 4 stars like Reine and Mullins? It’s like this coach doesn’t get it. He’s going to have to develop these type players. Forcing them into a preset system.

Yeah, those 4* players like Booker, Gilgreos-Alexander, Ulis, those types I'll take all day and twice on Sunday.But why are we offering 4 stars like Reine and Mullins? It’s like this coach doesn’t get it. He’s going to have to develop these type players. Forcing them into a preset system.

What interests me about Almonor is when he committed he talked like he was going to come in here and work so hard the coach would have to give him minutes.I love it.
I actually would have loved a second season from Almonor. I know he's done after this year, but I love his game and what he will be able to do in Pope's system.
Garrison will be the first NBA draft pick from this roster next Summer.Reibe could come in here, take Carr's place, play next to Garrison, and not say a word about it. Let's go 6-11, 7-0 and 6-9 at times.
Very possible. The kid is a player.Garrison will be the first NBA draft pick from this roster next Summer.
The new landscape now includes re-recruiting existing players to return. The whole team will be recruited every year. That is what it is now.With the way that the portal and new NIL rules have impacted transfer, I don’t see many of these projects coming to fruition, at least not at UK.
