Positive Wilson update

[UK67KU59]

I”m 0 percent worried about Pope’s ability to recruit the portal. He basically selected who he wanted this year for an entire roster. Now he will be selecting 3 to 4 and will be very specific ,picky and successful IMO.

Yeah Pope seems to have a great handle on which players will make good teammates while also having the skills, abilities, and intangibles we will need to succeed. He went all in on Butler and that has proven to have been an excellent choice. If we could have 15 Butlers of various sizes and skillsets next year we would do big things.

You give me 15 Lamont Butlers on a team and the other team just doesn't get to bring the ball up the court. Period.

Think it all boils down to biggest pay day.
Nothing but college free agency

Imo, almonor returning isn't much help. He has really struggled against better competition

He played well last game, I would love to hs e his shooting and size back.

You can never have too many guys that are willing to play a specific role. AA is one of my favorite players because of it

I'm assuming the UNC smoke is the usual drama being drummed up to make it look like it wasn't UK all along, when it really was.

I agree with this👆🏻

I'm not sure Ament wouldn't be a bigger need than Wilson. A 3/4 that can dribble, shoot, drive. Get a big body PF that is a good rebounder and serviceable shooter whether it be a portal transfer or European player. I'm likely completely wrong but Wilson gives me serious Damian Collins vibes.

We need at least one of each but preferably only one is a freshman.

Assuming all return that can - That's Oweh, Garrison, Perry, Noah, Chandler - with Lewis, Jasper, and Moreno .

Portal we need a elite Big to start as I doubt Moreno is ready and I believe Garrison will move to PF . Need a back up pg to Lewis unless Kerr is out rest of year and returns. We also need either a stud recruit or a top portal guy . Don't need Wilson but need someone like him.

I think Pope will do that and more. Do t underestimate power of positivity and Pope has that in spades.

I think we recruit Wilson over Ament hurt our chance on Ament.

I think Ament is Duke to lose now. But if we make Ament the first choice since June/July, things may be different

I think Wilson will be greatly but it hurts me a lot if we can not grab him (because if we do not land him, we are likely to get none of top 10 highschool guys)
