Any interest from UK on gwath?I like gwath from SDSU a lot so far. Thomas is good as well
Looks like a needed shot blocker

He just entered like a hour ago, so no clue yet. But I would be shocked if Kentucky doesn’t get involvedAny interest from UK on gwath?

That would be sweet.Idk if you saw it but it I’m watching Xavier these next few weeks to see what Connell does
I’d consider Noah more of a SF/small ball 4.Thomas
Conwell(could he wait to see who new coach is)
Oweh
Noah
Lewis
Johnson
Chandler
Perry(would he redshirt?) and Kriisa are odd men out. Conwell might not even be a target even if does declare. Not with the improvements Chandler is making plus who we have staying/coming in. That would be a very deep backcourt

Some smoke that Chris Mack will be Xavier coach againThomas

Give me at least two elite shootersAnd a partridge in a pear tree.

Miller turned out to be a good hire so give Mack another shot.Sounds about right for Xavier. Makes sense though. I think Mack learned his lesson. Sometimes the grass isnt greener.
I don't think our staff will even consider him. Just isn't the type of player/personality they seem to want.Good breakdown of Mgbako here from mid-season. He's getting better. Year 3 could be where he puts some of it together. However, there's enough out there we can find someone that's a more all-around player.

Mackenzie Mgbako: The Slept-On Sophomore Shooter
Mgbako is one of the best shooting prospects in this year's class. Why isn't he recognized accordingly? PLUS: Stephen's Scouting Notes!www.noceilingsnba.com
I work with a guy who watches Purdue. He said Smith is big time liability on defense guys just go around him and does turn it over. Too much.So much for the Braden smith talk
He has plenty of skillHe just entered like a hour ago, so no clue yet. But I would be shocked if Kentucky doesn’t get involved

It’s happening in high school sports now to man. I know of kids handlers in high school asking for money to transfer to that said high schoolProps to all of these coaches that try to handle all of this BS now.
If I were advising him I’d say go to Missouri and see if you can have a Mark Mitchell turnaroundHe has the talent offensively to be really good, obviously being a junior is tempting too. If he ever put it together he will be a pro obviously like his rank suggested. IU paid him like close to a million bucks and he’s just not worth that right now.
Full time jobI mean to recruit the portal is tough. How does the staff stay zoomed in on this? So many players?
AgreedGive me at least two elite shooters
Cuff or Gwath at center and Bailey and another pf.I would like to add Alvaro Folgueiras Sophomore from Robert Morriswith Bailey. That’s 2 stretch 4 that can rotate to center. Get a true center allows Moreno to develope. Center I would say Owen Freeman or Cuff
Get BOTH,My only minor complaint would be what if you take Thomas and Braden smith ends up entering?
Always been like that. My Coach @ Jackson Co High gave me two cartons of Kools and drove me to Clay Co everyday just so I wouldn't be on his team.It’s happening in high school sports now to man. I know of kids handlers in high school asking for money to transfer to that said high school
Looks good, but needs about 25-30 lbs to hold his position in the SEC. Definitely worth a look though.I work with a guy who watches Purdue. He said Smith is big time liability on defense guys just go around him and does turn it over. Too much.

This guy can ball. Our pg does not need to be really good at passing, but should have offensive threats
Pope please get this guy or conwell
I'm not entirely sure, but maybe the pursuit of Dedan Thomas is because Pope already got a "no" from Smith's camp. We're all just speculating. If we can't get a player on the level of Dent, Smith, or Thorton, then I'm happy if we can pick up Dedan Thomas. (However, I'm not sure how this might affect the recruitment of Taylen Kinney and I really like Kinney.)For sure, I almost think you take the risk and see what smith does. I wouldn’t take any player right now expect the center gwath because bigs are harder to find
That's a no for me🤣
Scottie Pippen's son has announced a transfer as UM is smack-dab in in the middle of the NCAAT
If we are wishing let's get that f%$k out at Dook while we're at it.Since we're on the topic of portal transfers, let's extend it to coaching transfers.
Does anyone see Hurley wanting to continue dealing with the transfer portal every year? He bitterly told 60 Minutes that he was tiring of the portal, and knew that a number of his guys would be leaving.
Eventually, you have to imagine that guys like Hurley and Oats will tire of recruiting a brand new team every year.
I'm hoping the NBA comes calling for both Oats and Hurley and that they both leave college basketball.
This is no different than high school recruiting in that you have to cast a wide net.I'm not entirely sure, but maybe the pursuit of Dedan Thomas is because Pope already got a "no" from Smith's camp. We're all just speculating. If we can't get a player on the level of Dent, Smith, or Thorton, then I'm happy if we can pick up Dedan Thomas.

Or take him out back, and put HIM in the hands of a specialist.I wonder this as well.
I thought Fox was supposed to be involved with NIL. If not, UK needs to hire someone great that can raise funds and increase this portion of the program. If Barnhart is truly an issue with this, then take it out of his hands and place it in the hands of a specialist.
