Gwath sounds like a Norwegian metal band and I’m here for it!
Mark Pope "Coming In Hot" on UGA Transfer (Travis Graf)
- Thread starter Tampa_cat54
- Start date
Looks great but wondering if all those guys stick around if we get those first two to commit and Oweh returns .
I saw Acaden Lewis pops ask why does people think Braden Smith will leave Purdue .
He’s a big strong physical PG that can be used in a variety of ways I love the dudes game
Really like Bailey
Seems like a big upgrade over carr athletically, and Carr was very valuable before he was hurt.
Would like to add wilkerson but wouldn't believe a thing jones says
Just released a top 4 of Louisville, KU, Bama, Auburn
If Popes 5th priority is talent, we’ll struggle in this league.
Dent went to UCLA and the Smith thing is only a rumor.
SEC battle-tested. Statistically he's poised to make a jump in his 3rd season. Plus he can play defense and is a willing rebounder.
Demary's overall FG% went from 42.4% to 39.6% however his 3pt% went up drastically. 30.3% to 37.4% in 89 more attempts(66 to 155) and his ft% went from 70.6% to 80.4%
Effective FG%(46.2 to 48.5), rebounds, assists, and steals went up as well.

He's not. That was a pipe dream that every took too far. It makes zero sense for him to leave Purdue.
If we get Demaray, does thst mean Acaden Lewis is our #1 pg?
I was hoping he would be our secondary pg until he proved he was good enough to take the lead pg role.

How could he be, Georgia didn’t make the sweet 16.
I hope the staff can start landing some top transfers.
No Dem would likely be the starting point guard. I don't see him as better than Lamont but most everyone here seems to think he is great.
Why does he need to be better than Lamont? Lamont was great before he had to play with one arm tied behind his back.
I love Lamont but I thought we would upgrade all our positions this season since Pope isn't getting a late start last last year.
Agreed. We were a finesse team this year, basically we were Creighton with a different style on offense.
That's just not going to work in the SEC. If we want to win the league and get to Final 4's, we need players that can over power teams.
I'm so done with guys that let 5'9" guards just come into the paint and lay the ball in, then get the rebound while our 7 footers stand there and watch.
If we're going to get guys from mid major programs, they need to be guys that can play physical, like Dent.
Demry proved he can thrive in the SEC, so I'm good with getting him, but hopefully he wouldn't be our best option at the pg position.
The weird Cal’s pals in our fanbase are going to talk shit about any player pope goes after.
That's really not fair at all. Just because someone thinks a guy shouldn't be a starter has nothing to do with Cal.
Not directed at you, just about the Lamont point.
I mean this with a ton of credit to Lamont but I think folks need a refresher of Lamont’s stats last year before coming to Pope’s offense.
30% 3 point shooter, 59% FT, 2.6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.5 steals
Love Lamont, his tourney experience, defense, intangibles, etc. but it’s revisionist to think he was some star transfer. People would’ve preferred Demary now over Butler before coming to UK no doubt.
The main difference being we’re looking for a different type/level of player on paper imo.
Demary is gonna be one of most sought after players in the portal
I would be good with DeMary as a wing starter and backup PG (Robinson role). Not as our starting PG
Not sure about No 2 at least basketball wise...Garrison hasnt really looked that part
This kid is a stud....athletic, strong, good shooter, tough, proven and VERSATILE. Get him and he will find a spot.
I will ask again who would you go after PG in the portal right now. Since the GA PG is 5th best and the top 2 are off the board.
What is he? He played PG for Georgia and did fine.
I thought he was a 2 guard forced to play pg.
I think after the championship game we are gonna see alot of surprising players enter the portal
