Okay, It’s officially impossible to keep track now
It’s similar to John Calipari’s recruiting strategy these days for incoming freshman. Just cast out a wide net and see who you can catch.

“Be careful not to cast too wide of a net ... you might catch something you don’t want.”It’s similar to John Calipari’s recruiting strategy these days for incoming freshman. Just cast out a wide net and see who you can catch.
Can’t contact players. But you can contact the ppl in their circle. Old HS Coaches etc to gauge temp.If he’s not officially in the transfer portal, schools can not contact players, so I doubt that’s true.
Yes, it feels that way - but there’s no way of knowing whether that feeling is legitimate. It seems we’re chasing 100 kids because of all the “reports” associating individual transfers with UK. But it’s not like Kentucky ever affirms that - we don’t put out an official list of kids we’re “chasing”. I think it was Sam Vicenie who tweeted last week about 93% of kids entering the portal think they’ll end up at Kentucky. Kids still want to have their name linked to UK, despite the awful season. So, there’s a bunch of people actively trying to get the word out that Kentucky wants so and so, when it’s entirely contrived.IDK - just odd and feels like we are chasing the latest shiny object.

No disrespect on this guy - more a comment in general about this transfer portal stuff....
I feel like I am thrift store shopping with my daughters.... Like looking for a Brooks Brothers Suit in a rack full of 20 year old Hagger and Stafford by JC Penney suits. Then I get excited when I find a 5 year old suit from Dillards because it's the "Best" of what is there... but then realize it's still not a BB suit.
IDK - just odd and feels like we are chasing the latest shiny object.
If he is not in the portal yet, and KY IS working behind the scene, this will not end well for UK.Kyle Tucker on Dan Issel/Mike Prat show today insinuated that this is a name to watch for Kentucky. Said he isn't in the portal yet but good chance he will be and hinted that KY is working behind the scenes.
Hopefully we can just get to win #10 next year at the rate it's going to find a good serviceable point guard!No way we miss out on #9 next year with Cal bringing these guys.
Kinda like my fishing.It’s similar to John Calipari’s recruiting strategy these days for incoming freshman. Just cast out a wide net and see who you can catch.
Not necessarily. Maybe his dad called Cal. Maybe his coach called Cal. No one knows.If he is not in the portal yet, and KY IS working behind the scene, this will not end well for UK.
NCAA will finally have something they can sink their teeth in and exert their power in making an example for others to see and fear.
Very intelligent post.People talking about transfers we got almost 30 years ago don't get it. You aren't getting DA as a transfer these days. He's going pro. Pope isn't coming for two seasons. You're getting them for maybe one season. That's it.
If he is casting a wide net and only getting 3 players we got a problem.It’s similar to John Calipari’s recruiting strategy these days for incoming freshman. Just cast out a wide net and see who you can catch.
Any chance we can get Steph Curry to transfer in?People talking about transfers we got almost 30 years ago don't get it. You aren't getting DA as a transfer these days. He's going pro. Pope isn't coming for two seasons. You're getting them for maybe one season. That's it.
My take Cal will get his man and you will be so upset.If he is casting a wide net and only getting 3 players we got a problem.
Who is "his man" bc hes reached out to bout 10928401482104981310 PGs.My take Cal will get his man and you will be so upset.
Was thinking all the same stuff. Hope we get him.This guy is the first of the PGs we have reached out to get me excited. Of course, can't get too excited since he isn't even in the portal. However, keep seeing things about the biggest transfer of the year that might not be in the portal yet. I watched him in a few games this year and thought he was explosive and had a good handle.
You will be so excited.Who is "his man" bc hes reached out to bout 10928401482104981310 PGs.
Better be Hardy then.You will be so excited.
Is that the only one you really like? Anyone else you think would be a good fit?Better be Hardy then.
Right? Or Daveon Mitchell?Any chance we can get Steph Curry to transfer in?
That dude is a fricking stud. I'd be elated to bring him aboard.He looks really good in this highlight mixtape. Obviously, he has penetration and distribution skills that most on the board would like to see here. He kinda reminds me of Rondo ...
True. But that's not what he wrote. His dad or someone calling Cal vs. Kentucky working behind the scenes are totally two different things.Not necessarily. Maybe his dad called Cal. Maybe his coach called Cal. No one knows.
Who are all these PGs he’s reached out to in the portal? Serious question. Rocket watts isn’t a PG.Who is "his man" bc hes reached out to bout 10928401482104981310 PGs.
Marcus Carr,Adam Miller can play either,Faulkner but I don't know if he's a point or 2 guard.Who are all these PGs he’s reached out to in the portal? Serious question. Rocket watts isn’t a PG.
I’ll give you Marcus Carr (still don’t know if I’ve seen anything officially reported that we reached out). The other guys I don’t believe are being recruited as a PG. The reason I make this point, is because there seems to be common perception that Cal is reaching out to everyone to play PG, but really we don’t know where’s going at the position. The view that he’s scrambling is IMO inaccurate based on the facts.Marcus Carr,Adam Miller can play either,Faulkner but I don't know if he's a point or 2 guard.

Duke fans believe they are getting Baldwin . I really hope they’re wrong.I'd like to add, that it's not happening for ANYONE right now, really. Duke somehow is holding onto a G-league player, and Gonzaga is the hot program (for now).. but no one is just rattling off 3 or 4 top10 kids anymore. This is just where the game is going. In due time, the top10 guys, largely won't be going to college. Maybe a few every season, maybe some bought. But you're just not going to get these top10 guys to play for free when the G-league is expanding and offering half million dollar contract.
Nix made something like $200-300k for his one year. He wasn't even a top10 guy.
How? If Cal talked to his dad or a representative that is behind the scenes. Talking directly to the player would be upfront.True. But that's not what he wrote. His dad or someone calling Cal vs. Kentucky working behind the scenes are totally two different things.
It is a Level 2 violation for a coach to reach out to a specific players "handlers" in an effort to recruit that player if the player is not in the portal.How? If Cal talked to his dad or a representative that is behind the scenes. Talking directly to the player would be upfront.
