Yes, they play scrimmages and do drills and testing, and the really good players during the scrimmages get invited to the combine. Kentucky is gonna have to wait most likely until the end of may before we know who our roster is
Trying for Lanier

- Start date
The same thing could have been said and was said about last years team. Do you think guys that played last year like all the 5 Stars were better than they were when they played Oakland? But all things being equal, UKs fans ,the BBN, deserve a coach that bleeds Blue, is one of us. We have one in Mark Pope. We all are lucky to have him.
Yes, but only an average of 3 guys per year get drafted from the elite camp. He may end up being one but the odds are not great.
FWIW Chaz is now following Amari Williams on Instagram, seems he’s following more and more current UK staff/players overtime
If Pope could somehow land Chaz, Robinson or Wells, and a backup 4 then I would feel absolutely great about next year
Give me Chaz and Robinson. I want both lmao.
Not sure if there’s enough touches to go around to add both. The question may be…do you sacrifice Otweh to get both? I’m not sure I would because I think he and Butler could do some damage defensively.
That would be a great scenario, if Lanier commits first I wouldn’t be shocked if Robinson went back to BYU
I hope Lanier wouldn’t scare him off. They play different positions and most of our roster outside of those two would be role players.
I think all would still have a role but we need scorers as well those 2 would be key. I think Pope will play a deep lineup.
I would to, but players want their touches. I could also see Robinson staying in the draft. He got invited to combine, so that means NBA teams are interested
Lanier and Brea would be a force on the court together.
But he is a married man?!
If frueger is Mormon I would say so. The followers stuff is funny to me, players do it to get their followers up and troll fanbases
It's still really only Tennessee. It was Tennessee and Maryland a week ago. I am not saying one way or the other he ends up there but reading the tea leaves this one was over when he entered the portal. JMO
Maryland is out apparently. Reading into eveything it Kentucky or tennesssee now
It could be, but I don’t think pope and staff are gonna give up without fighting
They’ve been waiting for a visit, but he hasn’t visited yet. I think his focus is on completely on the NBA right now and then he’ll visit later if needed.
It seems Tennessee started tampering a long time ago, so they got a huge head start in addition to him being from Nashville.
All I’m gonna say is if Kentucky gets a visit then I like Kentuckys chances
That would be fine with me actually. Then go get a power forward (Anchor), and play ball. The best players will earn playing time. No promises to anyone. I don’t know if that would make Robinson not come but it would be a great team with him and those two. Of course that’s probably not going to work out like that but that’s who I’d go after 100%.

Me to man. You know, I just don’t think kids around the country grow up dreaming to play for their home state team like kids from Kentucky do. (of course there’s the expectation), I mean Tennessee is going to be a good team and all but that Orange dude!!! Hahahaha. I know their fans are really passionate but Kentucky kids and fans are just different growing up here than anywhere.
I think they got those matching tattoos when they did 30 days in county.
Coach Fueger isnt mormon. Some around BYU wanted to hire him to replace Pope but couldnt because the school likes hiring members of the faith
Trilly posted UK staff had a 2.5 hour zoom meeting with Lanier recently
Is there any elaboration on whether that was a good thing or a bad thing? I'm hoping good, but you just never know in this day and age.
Norlander himself said on his podcast it’s Kentucky Tennessee and outside shot BYU. If pope pulls off Lanier and Robinson man
