Well those some are wrong lol. Dybansta is the best by a mile
PF Caleb Wilson's official visit is this weekend
- Thread starter Smashcat
- Start date
Dybsanta is probably the best, I really don't care. But watch some tape on Wilson and you'll see he is a great player too. This kid can do it all, and is already a defensive stud. We seem to have some really good pf options.
Thought Tucker was calling it quits? I’m sure he will still hear things but it seems like his takes are always optimistic regarding recruiting no matter how bad our actual chances to get a player may be,
Hope he stayed for the entire game as the crowd was rowdy, loud and was one heck of a game even in a loss
Its feels like that 2013 class where three or four guys had a legit claim to #1: Randle, Wiggins, Parker, Embiid.
I agree. I'd be fine with one of Wilson, Cenac or Bundalo.
I could not post link for some reason so here you go. Thanks to @CatsVsEveryone for post on X. Pic is Wilson.
When you're running 4 wide at Daytona they can't pass you. Good strategy.
Right now the bro love between Lewis and Wilson is causing me to daydream about the daffy avatar, lol. This week comes the counterpunches from the other coaches on the Wilson list. Hopefully when pope reconnects this week we can stay on some more momentum with UK.
Not a chance unless he stayed three years like Mashburn did.
Absolutely!
That’s a perfect scenario, IMHO.
Wilson will be a star in college. I would also be happy with Cenac.
And as I have stated many times, I want a veteran PG to lead the way.
I would also like to see them sign another couple of multi year guys in this ‘25 class. It’s a deep class. Hopefully Coach signs all his scholarship or at least most of them. That was one of my main problems with Cal, he never used all his allotted scholarships.

This is starting to give me good vibes. With the timing of Tounde’s cutting us, and the statements/tweets/etc makes me start to wonder if maybe we got this kid! I sure hope so.Quotes from Caleb’s dad.

Four incoming McDonald's All-Americans would be a helluva haul to add in Pope's first official class.
I hope it comes together.

This sounds good on the surface, and it might be a good thing as long as (1) no freshman recruit blocks UK’s desire and ability to recruit the best players from the portal (i.e., the way it seemed to be under Calipari); and (2) the best player NOW is the one who plays - not the most “talent,” not the highest ranked in recruiting services, and not the highest projected draft pick. Otherwise, I believe a multitude of freshmen McDonalds All-Americans would be counter-productive to winning against the top teams.

in all probability, Yessoufou cutting UK has nothing to do with Wilson. Yessoufou wants to play the 3 and Wilson is a natural 4, so why would they inhibit one another? Answer: they wouldn't.
Plus, the UK staff wouldn't just call Yessoufou up hours after Wilson's non-committal visit and tell him that he's no longer a UK priority.
None of that logically adds up.

Another reason to add Wilson: he gives us another presidential name.

Missed a golden opportunity with Matthew Cleveland a few years ago. Could have given us Grover Cleveland.
Got to add Woodrow Wilson to the list.
Where's my social studies homey, @bucsrule8872 at? He'll appreciate this line of thinking.

I’m not sure what the best guess would be on how many portal additions UK will be looking to add after the season. My guess would be 2-3. I think you’re right that if any of the guys who can come back don’t, that’s certainly a place to use the portal to add an additional player.
In general, I think the most important player group for title contention year-in-and-year-out is returning players. You have to build that base with smart high school recruiting. But for 2025-26 it seems that a PF from the portal is practically a must for UK. I think it’ll probably end up being best if UK gets a PG from the portal also.
