Is a possible 5th freshman addition for 2025, and if you haven't watched his hilite vids yet, you should. Brazilian born 6'7 guard/forward who will visit UK this coming weekend.

Hmm. But is there room for another perimeter guy. We will already most likely return Oweh, Chandler, Perry & Noah. Add in Lewis and Johnson. And I would strongly prefer 1-2 transfer portal guys. That puts us at 7-8 guards already.
More suited for the 3 position. A high flyer with shooting range and elite defense. Pope will offer I'm betting.
If Oweh is here next year I'd be really surprised. Really. And seeing how Chandler has essentially lost two years already, if he has a good season, I wouldn't expect him back either.
Chandler is good, but I would be shocked if he went pro.
He was really quick to follow Pope. Unless he doesn’t see himself getting minutes next year, he will be back.
He really needs to work on getting shots in rhythm/flow of the offense. He is still thinking about everything. Once it starts becoming instinctual, he is going to take off.
The legendary south American guard is real this time!?!
Will be fun to watch this recruiting here. If he would accept a possible scholly would it stop someone like Wilson, I know not the same position but just wondering.
One other question: Is Pope hard line on 4 total freshman for next year or will he take that extra guy? If we get back all non seniors then we would still be able to take 3 or 4 in portal I think.
I’ll be the contrarian here. Not sure about this kid. Not only are OTE stats hard to gauge as it’s a bad product with high counting stats, but the kid is multiple years older than most of his opponents making it even less useful as a scouting arena.
Also if I’m him, what role are you selling me on? Already have good wings, probably look for a role transfer player depending on Collin’s growth. The starting 4 spot we’re spending heavily on with Caleb/Chris/transfer.
Seems like a due diligence visit for both sides and I appreciate how this staff works.

Chandler is too raw to leave yet iMO. He’s gonna need at least 2 years to get back to where he should be.
