Luis jr from St. John’s enters

I would think Pope at least infers on him, he is a great player. I imagine surrounding him with shooters would open the floor up for him and his teammates given his ability to get to the basket.

I see several portal names associated with Kentucky and none of them seem a wow that would make much of a difference. RJ Luis would and I would much prefer we go after elites than guys just to fill a position. Wait on the average proven ones for later or when a high level coach leaves go after their top recruits.
 
The fact that Pitino benched this kid is a big red flag to me. Situationally, that struck me as more than sitting a kid down on a rough shooting night. I honestly believed Pitino recognized that his poor-shooting team was facing a low ceiling, and swallowed the loss to Calipari rather than dragging it out with a player that he was disappointed with. If I were a coach, I'd kick every single tire on this potential lemon.
