He's not the scorer Lanier is but he has done it against top teams like Kansas so I would take it.
Trilly update on Lanier visit
- Thread starter LXWildcat
- Start date
He's the next best thing. Not like we have much choice.
Who knows. Maybe the agent used the BYU and Kentucky visits to get the price up. These agents seem to be making the decisions ala Osobor and Amari Williams.
You also have to remember that Tennessee has been tampering with him possibly since last year.

For the record, I'd much rather have Lanier.
Once again you don’t know …Brea couldve told them no …see how that works ?
You’re delusional. Our roster if full of guys who were the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th best players on their old teams. Most of which didn’t come from good teams. It would take 5-8 guys all taking a big step up for the team to do what’s expected at UK.
Our current leading scorer is a guy who averaged 13ppg. People keep anointing Brea as the major scorer at guard when his career average is 7ppg. Yall gotta get real and be honest about the situation. The team is missing ATLEAST 1 big time scorer.
Big difference doing it against Kansas and other Big12 teams and doing it where Lanier was at.
Brea averaged 10.5 points so 11. And I’m not delusional. Here’s a shocker I’m not major overly huge judgements about players and a team before they ever play a game here. You are just an overly pessimistic poster who no matter what happens will always find something to nitpick about. You literally want a team cal had, and you complained about cal the whole time so it sounds like nothing will make you happy
Robinson is the better fit. Already been in popes system and like you said has scored against proven teams.
Ok bro, ok. Go ahead if it makes you feel better to believe we stole Butler in a serious battle with Duke. Heck, with the recent trend on probably missing out on another one with Chaz, I might start coming up with some too. This sucks if true.
No it was brea. It did happen with Mahaney as well though. I’d prefer brea over Mahaney anyway.
That comment by Sisk was really strange. How wouldn't it be a whiff by the coaches?
Outside of Lanier having a sick relative or something in Tennessee that he wants to be close to I fail to see how this could be anything but a whiff?
Has to be that it was either Lanier getting the money or one of the draft combine guys.
Maybe by not getting Lanier, they can give the full amount to someone like Robinson or Wells.
Dude is talking out of his ass.
Complete guess but the stuff about Lanier using byu and Kentucky to get more NIl could have some truth to it. There’s also the possibility sisk is wrong and Kentucky gets Lanier, we will find out tomorrow or Thursday
With the way they are acting Kentucky might as well not even play next year, they are gonna be terrible
A bunch of those guys aren't even UK fans.
And yet everyone was saying that UK and UT would not get in a bidding war so how could he use UK go get more NIL. Isn’t that the definition of a bidding war?
My guess would be that UK didn't offer Lanier nearly as much as some around might think.
You were right on que with the "not even UK fans!" Hahahaaaaaaa
I'd say BYU and UK were used to increase the price tag.
Some watched a dude shoot 50 percent from 3 with over a 100 makes and they think he isn’t a good add. Jesus christ, nothing will make you happy if that’s the case
Kentuckys has money, might as well spend it. Offer the money to Robinson, poplar wells or Riley and get one of them
Agreed but people just keep creating new troll accounts after they realize they are being ignored. Sad that ppl have so little to live for.
But wouldn't that still be a whiff if we wasted time on him? I guess I'm just holding hope that the comment means Pope has someone else in mind.
Seems to be the answer now, I’ll never forget those 2 days where he was Kentucky to lose. Good times
How was Kentucky supposed to know they were being used?
This one feels like the Chris Duhon recruitment. Duke with the early lead; then UK making up ground only to "take the lead"; followed by Duhon picking Duke anyway; followed by UK fans saying "we never really were in the lead"; followed by "at least we got Cliff Hawkins."
I would suggest that over the top stridency, absolutism and a general tenor of taking allowing the man a half ass rational opportunity to get his legs under him off the table so hard that the mere suggestion is at least an insult has resulted in something similar to an immune system kicking in.
The hard core reactionary bent has temporarily damaged the ability to even offer constructive criticism and reasonable doubts and it is very unfortunate because that makes for wild pendulum swings that short circuit reasonable assessments.
Absolute religious like faith and Legion of Doom need not be the only available lenses to view the world through and in fact doing so just makes us collectively seem foolish and irrational.
