Who would you rather have running our point next year? Acaden Lewis, or Mikel Brown? Or Someone else?
Lewis or Brown?
- Thread starter davekersey
- Start date
I would be happy with either. I don’t think it will happen, but I would be happy with Magwood as well.
I am hoping we get a veteran PG.
I’m fine with either Brown or Lewis, but I want an experienced guy as well. I don’t want to be leaning on an all Freshman starting backcourt.

I’ll preface by saying while I followed these guys a bit this summer, it was less than past years as there was more uncertainty around recruiting under Pope than Cal.
Personally I view Lewis as a multi year PG option while I view Mikel as someone that his ranking would suggest hopes to be a one and done…and he is a high volume shot attempt guy from my recollection.
Due to that very limited perspective, I would prefer Lewis. I’m interested in seeing the Travis Perry minutes this year and Jasper at OTE. I’m curious how much they might give you at PG combined next year. That knowledge would be helpful in determining what we need at PG in 2025 whether it just be a transfer stud PG, a Lewis and an experienced PG transfer(not stud), or something else.
I would think the offer from Alabama for a similar level player in Brown v Jasper would mean they’re likely to offer him a considerable amount since it’s no longer set aside for JJ. Knowing nothing about his recruitment, I would think Bama makes sense.

Agree with you @FitchandMurray29 as of now. I like presumably multiple years of Lewis and idea of a junior/senior portal guard. Operative words are “as of now”. A lot to be seen. But happy to see UK very much in the mix for either one.
Havnt watched Brown but Lewis is a player. He's real crafty/savvy and is similar around the basket to Jasper.
Would be neat to see two lefties in the back court.

I've seen Mikel Brown compared to Darius Garland due to his small frame. UConn fans have likened Lewis to Shabazz Napier. Those seem most accurate to me and would track with Lewis being a multi-year guy and Brown being a one-and-done.
I'd take either and be happy. I like Magwood too. However I still think we need a quality upperclassmen transfer portal PG.
Lewis. A month ago the word was Lewis wouldn’t even visit if UK landed JJ. That has changed.
At PG, I would prefer a JR or SR over a FR.
I'm ok w/ a FR at the 2,3 & 4 spots. Maybe the 5 too, if we have a good physical PF.

I would want Lewis but think UConn may to much to overcome in this recruitment. So I want a upper classman PG from the portal, and another shooter.
Either one, honestly both are really good players. I like most would prefer a nice junior or senior guard to go with them. Let the, come along during the year but talent never hurts.
