Ament? I doubt he is over 200. If he is planning to play PF, he needs to be around 220 to be able to hold his position on D and rebounding. He can play SF at his current weight because of his length.
how you like that NATE AMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agree on the SF. On his weight, I was going off of a few podcasts I heard about him. Late bloomer evidently.
If he’s really interested in UK and paid attention to the game I’d have to think we greatly improved our spot with him. If this game didn’t influence him we don’t need him. Only time will tell.
He's now seen us beat the Vols twice.... and in an electric atmosphere.
Got to think he's considering UK hard at this point?

After watching Noah, he's probably worried about playing time at SF.
[Probably shouldn't have said that as it's likely to get the recruiting ranking fanboys fired up.].

Most analysts thinks he winds up at Duke. https://ukwildcatswire.usatoday.com...entucky-wildcats-sweep-tennessee/78438623007/
A guy to watch not related to ament in by way. But jones on the postgame show was saying eh thinks a guy from Kentucky currently at another school could/would end up next year. I think he is talking about max green from holy cross. Green could fill the Almanor role nicely next year.
This guy can play here next year
I’ve watched 3 of his games now since Kentucky has ramped up the interest. Very good offensive player, can score at all 3 levels. He is rail thin though, and will have to add on weight for sure
And that is a good point…
If Ament is essentially a bidding war…UK needs those resources at PF where there is a glaring hole …not SF
Oweh and now Noah’s emergence have me feeling the SF rotation will be fine next year
If Ament can’t take 25 PF minutes….its not a good investment
Caleb watched us play one of our best games chooses UNC who has nothing.
Any recruit who's waiting to commit is looking for Max nil money as greatest motivator imo .. I don't care if we get or not there's as good or better in Portal. At half his price.
How many freshman are out playing the folks we got in Portal? Flagg an how many others?
Ament wants in at a reasonable price where we can still get our needs in portsl then great if not he can go join another Duke superclass or Cal. Don't need or want him

I always get a chuckle by this comment.. The Bag... This statement is not true and what is "THE BAG" Either he wants to play in our system and make some cash or he doesn't and wants it to be all about him. We already had 15 years of all about "HIM" You can go watch and be a fan of Arkansas if that is what you want. If he WANTS to be here then by all means open arms. Otherwise he can hit the bricks.
Yes we will and a bigger stronger more experienced player to boot. .. Not College basketball from 15 years ago
And I always get a chuckle by the comment, "If he wants to be here..." followed by some rationale that points to guys choosing Kentucky from a puritanical, non-NBA motivated, non-financially motivate position.
You know what? Every single high-level guy we've recruited in the 40 years - be it Delk, Sheppard, Mashburn, Mercer, Turner, Hayes, etc. - came here, in part, because they wanted to use UK to get to a better position financially someday.
If Ament comes here because we outbid the rest of his potential suitors, it doesn't make him any more self-interested than the guys who came before him. It merely highlights that the means to doing that have changed.
Your perspective is severely limited, especially the silly line about "watching Arkansas" simply because your view isn't expansive enough to fathom how all of these guys want the same thing at the end of the day.
Some posters can't handle the complexity of what you're suggesting. The idea that solid portal transfers surrounded by a few very good freshmen is something they reject because they haven't seen it yet. When they do, they'll know it works, but until then they'll just screech "OAD cannot return to Kentucky!" like mindless banshees.
If NIL didn't exist the Boozer's still go to Duke and probably Nik K. also.
Could still see Wilson at UNC.
Arenas staying in LA at USC.
Go down the list not many head scratchers.
AJ is the exception.
Kids are still mainly picking schools they would want to play for if NIL wasn't a factor.
I think it will all boil down to how much Ament actually likes UK compared to the other schools he's interested in.
I'm sure the staff already has a good read as to whether they're in the race or not.
Cal didn’t want Broome because we had Oscar. He didn’t know how to coach two guys that good nor how to split the time so he let Broome go. Huge mistake. Cal’s promises to players always bit the team in the ass. Screw Cal. Worthless POS that can’t coach a lick.
Guaranteed 3 years ago you would’ve been on here whining and complaining and telling other posters how clueless they are because they wanted to pay more for Antonio Reeves or Sheppard over super freshman Wagner, Bradshaw, or the absolute jewel of the class Edwards. How many shitty highly ranked freshmen do we have to have seen before fans are allowed to say they’d prefer a good portal player like LaMont Butler or Oweh for half the price and 1/10 the drama?
Would love to see this young man come home to play for BBN.
Best post in this thread.
If Ament gets paid and comes to UK, I guarantee that Pope will foster a sense of pride in him based on what it means to put on the UK jersey.
Some UK fans have a bad opinion of 5 star players because of Cal. Cal didn't give a shit about the University of Kentucky and no one can convince me otherwise. It is different now. The players that come through UK under Pope will always have a great appreciation for UK and Pope.
