Isaac mckneely from Virginia, that’s who we ar talking about. He is transferring he just entered the portal todayI didn’t mention, nor was I thinking of McNeely. He is top 15 on draft boards. I don’t think he is transfering.

No clue, that’s one I’ll believe when I see it if he actually transfers. I want dent from New MexicoHow are we feeling about Braden Smith? There was a ton of buzz.
Then after it came out we contacted the UNLV point guard, it makes you think maybe that's not happening.
He would be one of the best portal gets EVER.
It’s uofl fans saying that. It’s looking like it’s UK, uofl, unc, and WVA for him. I honestly really like Josh dix the more I watch him. I like him a lot better than I do eaglestaffSee someone on twitter says he is Lou lock.. He also has "don't contact" tag
Make sense as he can play same role with Reyne Smith there
Darn, I thinking UConn McNeely, sorry.Isaac mckneely from Virginia, that’s who we ar talking about. He is transferring he just entered the portal today
The real March MadnessGreat win tonight and heading to the Sweet 16 and yet coaches will have to work on next year's roster. Definitely some muscle down low with guys that can grab some rebounds and play great post defense. Go get us some players.
Wouldn’t shock me if we have some portal targets at the Sweet 16 (as visitors)How do you guys think pope works the portal this wk along with game preparation? Will we see anyone actually commit here this wk or is this something we have to wait until the season is over to hear of commitments?
We’re in the top ten ,according to people that are paid to know that kind of stuff.Do we have a GM? Or know what our NIL budget is? I hear how Arkansas, IU, and BYU have a huge budget. Where do we rank?
Goodman said we spent top 10 money this year according to what he knew, maybe closer to top 5.We’re in the top ten ,according to people that are paid to know that kind of stuff.
UL appears to be the destination on this one .
Would fill the brea role nicely
They supposedly want to spend 8-10 million on the roster next year. We better easily spend that. We can’t let UofL out spend us.Premium scuttlebutt is UL leads for both McNeely and Ament.
Pass as Virginia was dog water this year. He may be indeed a good player but I want winners or guys that jump off the page like Agbim when taking a chance on them. It will be 2 weeks before we know the cream of the crop and longer for those who test the draft to see who we should prioritize,UL appears to be the destination on this one .
This can't be true!Premium scuttlebutt is UL leads for both McNeely and Ament.
It shouldn’t be open while the tourney is going on. Not fair to the good coaches.
I wish the portal wouldn’t open until UK is done for the year. Just my $.02.
Another angle is that of the players. Suppose a player is wanting to enter the portal but his team is still in the tournament. But it certainly doesn’t stop football players from announcing and still playing in the bowl games. Wonder when basketball will come to that.I agree. Why not open the day after the championship
Has a do not contact tag as well…
Would fill the brea role nicely
Agree on Dix. Would be perfect to replace Brea. I still think we need a bigger, athletic wing for defense/rebounding, even if it's a bench guy. Add in a combo guard and 2-3 bigs and we're set.It’s uofl fans saying that. It’s looking like it’s UK, uofl, unc, and WVA for him. I honestly really like Josh dix the more I watch him. I like him a lot better than I do eaglestaff
I’m debating on subscribing to his discord. Cats got me feeling good and wanting to spend a lil $ hahaHe is good that you overlook that. Trilly said it’s Kentucky, Louisville, ND, or West Virginia here
I believe Braden Smith was an urban myth. Nobody with any credibly has even mentioned him as leaving. He is at the school he grew up wanting to play for, has had huge success there, and supposedly is making top 10 NIL money. The “ton of buzz” was from an echo chamber imo.How are we feeling about Braden Smith? There was a ton of buzz.

I will say someone on this site said MJ from KSR was directly asked if Braden is the “absolute stud” that is expected at Kentucky and Jones didn’t answer the question 🧐I believe Braden Smith was an urban myth.

Yeah I saw that. Maybe Matt Jones knows something that recruiting insiders don’t know. I’m skeptical. Time will tell.I will say someone on this site said MJ from KSR was directly asked if Braden is the “absolute stud” that is expected at Kentucky and Jones didn’t answer the question 🧐
It’s more than UL fans saying thatIt’s uofl fans saying that. It’s looking like it’s UK, uofl, unc, and WVA for him. I honestly really like Josh dix the more I watch him. I like him a lot better than I do eaglestaff
We need to hope that little Pitino doesn’t get a P4 job .No clue, that’s one I’ll believe when I see it if he actually transfers. I want dent from New Mexico
Question - would you be fine if I started a separate thread for EVERY player that enters the portal? If I recall, that means there will be thousands.Well I, for one, don't want the portal discussion to be put in a single thread. What makes this message board the best is the volume of varied basketball related posts and the number of posters with legitimate basketball takes. We can handle posts about everything basketball related from the game yesterday, our current players and guys who have entered the portal. It’s all ok. As I’m sure has been said before, just skip over those posts about portal players. Your personal preference not to see those is fine, but irrelevant and immaterial to others who do enjoy reading about potential player options (even if they don’t become a UK player). Some of the players entering the portal are such a big deal and maybe particularly a fit for what UK needs next season that many may think they deserve their own thread to discuss their pros and cons. Besides, what harm is this doing to you and why should your preferences dictate? Just seems a little weird to me. Start more posts about, for example, how great Carr’s under the radar play was yesterday, etc. We can all participate in those discussions as well without any sweat.

Triply said it’s UK, Louisville, UNC, and wva. I do agree with you thought, I think Kentucky has a really good chance to get Josh dixIt’s more than UL fans saying that
I’m hearing that due to personal reasons, Dix will remain close to home . They think he would be a great fit if CMP could pull it off though. Kentucky, Creigton, Kansas, with a chance of staying at Iowa depending on the new coach.Triply said it’s UK, Louisville, UNC, and wva.

If we get a visit then I think that’s a really good sign we can get him. I mentioned this last night but im watching Ryan Conwell now. His coach just left, he is a bucket, and he would move up to my 2nd portal want after a good PGI’m hearing that due to personal reasons, Dix will remain close to home .

Edgerin James son plays for Cinci bball team.Holy crap Im getting old Anquan Boldin Jr?
Anquan Boldin's son is a college basketball player. I need this aging shit to stop, yesterday. Obviously has nothing to do with UK recruiting. Just a name from the past.
You remember that player for Auburn who returned the missed FG against bama in 2013 Chris Davis. He has a son who is junior in high school right now. That one made me feel oldHoly crap Im getting old Anquan Boldin Jr?

Be careful what you ask forI wish the portal wouldn’t open until UK is done for the year. Just my $.02.
