Any clue who the player currently playing could be? If we’re after dent it can’t be smith anymore
Matt Jones thinks we have a really good shot at a “kid currently playing in the NCAA Sweet 16”……..
- Thread starter catben
- Start date
He also just tweeted that Perry is likely to leave UK.
This makes sense if you really think about it. The kid has been the focal point of his team from the time he was ready to play. He may want to start and be that again.
When I saw the comments from Coach Beard about Perry and what a great kid he was, I had a feeling that Perry was back on the market.
OA would be Agbim I guess. The guy is probably full of it.
Yep Im fine with it. He was asked to do a lot this year but struggled with SEC competition. Wish him all the best though, whether here or elsewhere.
I think Braden Smith is definitely the better PG.
With Pope's offense, Dent may be the better "fit." The Youtube chanel that does all of the videos for every single transfer portal player said that Dent is in the 100th percentile when it comes to catch and shoot 3 point shots. That's absurdly elite.
IMO, this can easily be explained by the Smith camp squeezing Purdue. They have a ton of leverage with Braden being an AA, being Purdue royalty, and Purdue seemingly not having a title caliber team next year. The Smith camp knows they can squeeze pretty hard right now.
St. John's coach has already said he'd give us NIL if he needs to. Aint no way they're outspending us lol.But...but...but...some of our fans keep telling me how big city schools/markets like St. John's and UCLA are going to outspend us because they will magically suddenly have fans that care about their basketball program!?!?
This can't be true!
But I get your point. We care the most. Our rich people care the most. Our regular people care the most.
That reminds me--everyone go join club blue. Give what you comfortably can. 100$ a person goes a long way. That's ~8$ a month. 1,000 a person goes even further. Obviously not everyone has the luxary.
But we're in a world where your dollars can buy Kentucky basketball wins, championships. I'm going to sign up for 100$ a month to do my part.
I think that's plausible. I just don't think Purdue can compete with us if he really wants the $$.
That may be true, but once the agent starts throwing numbers out that other teams are offering, you never know what will happen. Yes he is royalty there and all that, but sit down with your agent and look at say $1million dollar difference in UK and Purdue and he very well be willing to venture down South a bit.
Obviously Pope puts a very efficient, effective offense on the floor, better than many other coaches. I'm curious if the staff has some kind of formula for predicting how much a given player's efficiency jumps when they are in his offense, compared with whatever offense they played in previously. Obviously it wouldn't be anywhere close to exact. I'm not a statistics major but any viable metric would have to be more complex than just multiplying their numbers by the efficiency delta.
On a related note I wish I had just enough money to donate to UK NIL that I could demand in exchange a behind the scenes look at them navigating the portal. It would be really interesting to see their spreadsheets and methods for ranking and prioritizing the options.
Kam Williams from Tulane is likely the Crown tournament player ( although Quaintance is in it for Arizona State) would be a monstrous Boom to land Quantenance.
I went to high school and played baseball and golf with his Dad and know the family really well. Although Travis is die hard UK fan through and through and grew up wearing nothing but Cats gear and rooting for the Cats, it doesn't mean he will stay. He's already been recruited over for next year, forced into the PG position when he's a natural undersized SG, and if UK pulls in stud guards he falls further down the depth chart. I could certainly see a case for him leaving. He had a great relationship with Ole Miss and Purdue both for years before Cal got involved late. He's not going to leave for a smaller school where he can be the star (ie Western) like some people think. If he leaves, he'll likely go to a P4 school where he isn't as buried on the depth chart and has a chance to fight for some minutes. UK is in his blood though, and it might be hard to walk away from it.
Says who? All the people who know things are saying Kentucky
I wouldn’t mind picking off Saunders but given how much BYU is apparently spending in NIL and how much success he had this season, I can't imagine him leaving if he/his wife wouldn't come last year.
@CollegeFBPortal on Twitter said it. An hour ago.
There was also a tweet claiming Dent followed UCLA players on Twitter or IG. I forget. I don't think there's anything there.
Between Trilly, KSBoard, Twitter (including Sam), all things point to BBN.
Based on what info? Are you going by that tweet from an hour ago?
Maybe you should get your facts straight before you start posting speculation as fact?
Who knows? I just think this doesn't have a lot of actual legs. I'd be massively surprised if Smith left Purdue. Nobody I've heard even thinks this is an actual possibility. The fans or the radio guys.
You're right. Tulane plays USC in that tournament. I thought the teams I posted earlier was the complete list.
It's gotta be Williams. He's high on my list. We need more length on the wing and he fits the bill.
Wife is the key.
He turned us down last year because his wife wanted to stay home. Can't see it changing.
Maybe he wanted to start and knew J Rob would start over him this year. I hope he wants to be here. I'm a big fan of him. He's a heullva player against legit competition.
That account said he followed the whole ucla team and that was the basis for it, but he didn’t. As I type I realize how ridiculous it is that we care this much about a player lol.
I hope we get Williams. That dude is going to be a PROBLEM next year. I'd like it to be for us.
Hypothetically, if UK and Braden Smith were talking through back channels with big dollar figures being thrown around, it might make sense to walk away from it all before this weekend’s games. It could turn into a major scandal.
I can see the vision for sure. Pope wants a Point Center like Williams. Need elite catch and shoot guys.
College Basketball Scouting on Youtube does a video for every transfer highlighting their strengths. Dent is in the 100TH!!!! percentile of all players when it comes to catch and shoot 3's.
I may have been overlooking how custom made this guy is for the Mark Pope offense.
I think I cracked it: Over Armour, Air Force, Maine, YoungLife, Bullsh!t, Running Back
I saw that in the same video and thought the same thing. I think he was like 70% efg in that category which makes me wonder what the volume was because that's absurd
This guy seems to have a good record of info
Probably bigger nil from other school or he wants to have playing time
Next year, he will be bench warmer if he stays here
When that fuerger boom tweet hit hits the timeline
Not Richie Saunders, he has already rejected us before
So which other BYU player could be the choice
Z is so immature and can’t play a lick of D! No Thanks😊💙🏀
