Pope will have zoom meeting with Riley
- Thread starter chasingwildcat
- Start date
You didn't provide his 3-point shooting percentage. That is critical for some fans.
WCC is a multiple bid league and SFU was near in tournament
This is a good player, can defend, can rebound, has athleticism, has size, good player for us.
If he can shoot like 35%, it is enough
His defense, rebounding, athleticism and size is what we lack in last season
But he is a carbon copy in profile of Williams and we don’t need any more role players. We need a starting SG/SF that has scoring pop and elite shooting.
I’d take this guy if we don’t land Yates.
Really like the 6’6 versatility

Solid 6-6 - 6-8 wings are most valuable players in cbb
If he can provide us what DJ gave the hoggs, it will be enough if our wing players can shoot.

This type of player is definitely the more, the better. Besides, compared to Williams, Riley has better handles and offensive skills, his touch is pretty smooth. I think Riley has the potential to develop into a solid ball-handler, which Williams might not be able to achieve (Williams feels a bit stiff with his ball-handling, though he does have better size).
The “can’t have enough shooters” crowd aren’t as vocal after last season.
I posted a thread on this guy and really like him, I think he would have gone to a big school in the first place but his dad went there
Makes me think if Yates is really a possibility or what with this. I know we need a backup option but interesting nonetheless. Maybe they prefer this guy.
I would be satisfied with either yates or this guy
If we land yates, we should be better than this season
Yates is built for sec. 220 pounds guard that can shoot? It is ridiculous. If he makes some progress in his year 2, he will be nba player.
If we land riley, I expect riley to be solid starter in year 3, but he is likely to not be that powerful in year 2
He is good enough to be in regular rotation if he comes here
On thing I’ve noticed is Pope is prioritizing size on the perimeter. Also guys with multiple years that can grow in the scheme
You watching the semi game? Every guy on that floor is a 5 star or top 5 portal guy … right?
We definitely needed to get longer and more athletic on the perimeter. Lowe is longer and quicker than Butler although he isn't a defensive specialist like Butler. But he's definitely an athletic upgrade. And Williams is longer, quicker and stronger than Almonor.
Have no idea our chances here. Feels like pursuing this guy is following the roster construction of Alabama and Auburn this year. Load up on absurd depth of tall wings.
I don’t know enough about this kid’s other options to know whether being a bench contributor here with a nice payday would be the best option for him or not.

No, I am just capable of seeing the effectiveness of a player who can't shoot worth a darn but brought value to his team. I see no reason why other guards can't do the same thing including the one Pope signed today. You seem to be ok with suspect fans backhanding our coach, I am not.

Just because a zoom will happen is not meaning we're going to go hard after him, its simply a process to see if he's the right fit for what Pope wants
We already meet him before in person
So this is more serious conversation at least
For those saying it would be too many guards/wings, and guys would be unhappy, think about this: this guy hits the market this year with maybe a lower price tag. Next year if things don't work out to his liking, he could enter the portal again and command more money just by having that UK brand label, and still have 2 years left. Not a big risk for a guy like that to try a place like UK for a year compared to a senior in that same spot.
Floridas starting backcourt player at Iona, Belmont and FAU genius. Stop saying stupid shit and actually watch the damn games
Chris Fischer gave a update and doesn’t think Kentucky is getting mgbako
If his ball handling and driving is good enough won't have to worry about 3 point shooting
Kinda OT but as an IT guy I'm wondering. Do you reckon Pope has the Zoom Enterprise sub from the university or the free one?
