Official Portal Entry Thread

[JonathanW]

Go ahead and insert guys names into this thread once they announce they are entering the portal, IF GOOD ENOUGH for UK to consider.
Include details such as:
Carr, SR, Wake Forest, 6'11 220, 13pt, 7.5reb, 2.1 STOCKs, 37.5% 3pt (30-80)

The next few weeks more and more guys will be entering the portal.
Please just keep in mind, you don't have to get every good player (we don't have 117 scholarships to give). If we miss out on one, not a big deal.
A better one may come later. But on the flip side, "a bird in the hand, ...", or this might be the best one.

 

[TOMCATS1990]

I trust the staff and the Pope to have a LOADED roster next year!!

 

[bnewt]

should be fun to follow this

 

[JPFisher]

I'll go ahead and post the low hanging fruit. This guy has already discussed UK.

Eaglestaff (SG), NDSU, JR, 6'6 190.
18.9ppg, 2.8reb, 2.4ast, 41.6% fg, 35.9% 3pt (84-234), 1.1stl.

 

[M4CAT]

If Pozzato enters, someone I would be interested in.

20 ppg at any level of d1 means your a pretty good player

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Like him

Same. Like him in the same group as Gavin/wilkerson/eaglestaff.

Man, I'm just sitting here enjoying this season, for all it's ups and downs. Just excited to have Kentucky basketball back. Pope will get this recruiting stuff done. I'll worry about dozens and dozens of names after the final buzzer.

Why not enjoy both? Thats the great part about CBK

It feels like I'm cheating on my already hot girl. And I'm a one woman man. Living in the moment.


...and it's exhausting trying to keep up all these 'possibles' anymore.

The portal is fun, the cats are fun. I’m enjoying both. The reality is most of these guys we bring up won’t be here. But the possibility of it is fun.

TBH, I'm more interested in portal guys than freshman. I got jaded and burnt out watching half of Cal's guys fizzle and leave. I'd definitely spend money on portal guys than freshmen.

Really I'm just cranky cause I got back from my second run of the year, so I'm exhausted, and then I find out the game has been pushed back til midnight. Grrr.

Perfect guy for our system

Probably the best center in the portal

We should definitely in pursue of him

It’s all good man. I get it. I like this team this year a lot. I also like the portal and the new excitement it brings

My only question would be is how good would he be defensively

 

[catlogic15]

I’d still like to have Ament. Freshmen seem to get poo-pooed here but he is the #4 player.
Tre Johnson was also #4, and everyone here would’ve loved to have him on this team.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

I really wish the big guy for Stanford had another year

 

[chasingwildcat]

My only question would be is how good would he be defensively

Seems like the guy who is not good at blocking but still good at defense

Only based on stats, could be Mark Garsol type, that always stands in the right defense position... His defense rating is good in stats

Need to watch more tape...

That guy may go to NBA, I think he definitely could be selected in second round. Maybe spurs select him to pair with his friend wemba

 

[Butters' Dad]

You guys are going to be severely disappointed with who we are going to be able to get out of the portal this year. It's going to be way more competitive than last cycle and all of our rivals have deeper pockets than we do. Bookmark this and lets revisit it post-portal season.

The center position is one I am really interested to see what they do

If our center is Garrison/Moreno, I think our frontcourt will be very weak...

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Another player I like is Kobe Magee from Drexel. Kobe brea 2.0

 

[Mulder14]

At least this year we have a fair shot at all of them

 

[chasingwildcat]

true

At least we will be seriously considered by most recruits

Different from last year, many recruits had doubt with Pope

Thanks for setting the board straight.

I would like to add someone to replace Williams. I don’t think Moreno is going to be ready to play 15-20mpg as a Freshman.

 

[maysvilleky]

Does Big Z’s brother have any eligibility left?

I'm disappointed that I chose to view ignored content.

I think he will stay at Illinois

 

[JPFisher]

Moni, Jacksen (F/C), NDSU, JR, 6'10 235#.
20.6ppg, 5.6reb, 3.7ast, 50.8% fg, 40.8% 3pt (64-157), 83.7% ft, and ~0.5 blocks and steals a game.

Could be a defensive liability, but an absolute offensive beast.

 

[TheAnonymous13]

I know of two bigtine players who will enter, but it won’t be for weeks. This thread is a bit early.

Im guessing these 2 players have already been heavily tampered with as well

Assist highlights. I daresay he's as good a distributor as Williams, which is saying something.

Yeah, you strike me as someone who'd rather lie to himself than know the truth. I bet there are a lot of facts that make you uncomfortable.

This off-season, as last season's was, is going to be a heck of a lot of fun.
