That would be absolutely amazing! I'd genuinely be excited. At lot of things would have to go right, but I believe that roster could make some noise.
Trying for Lanier
- Thread starter davekersey
- Start date
We’re still in on poplar to. Pope seems to want 2 wings now when last week everybody was saying he wanted one scorer
Still would lean Tennessee but Kentucky is getting closer and closer every day
I think you're right. I've been saying that we needed two more pieces. Glad to see the staffing seeing that need as well.
If they get Lanier, the other wing needs to be versatile like Robinson. Robinson can play the 4 I don’t think poplar can,
I just about have to love someone to talk to them over ten minutes. Haha. I’m sure a lot of questions and answers type of meeting but that’s a great amount of time to not be interested in each other. Awesome in my opinion.
If he goes to Tennessee, I think we go all in for Robinson, Richmond and Anchor. If we get him, we still go after Robinson and Anchor. That’s 12 guys who can flat out win a championship this season. Of course a lot of things would have to happen in our favor but it’s fun to watch. Just one of these guys will definitely raise our level, two puts us competing with Bama for the SEC. THREE, I don’t know if I could handle the excitement. Lmao. Me being me dontworry!
The top 10 teams are all going to be really good this year. UCONN will have a challenge to 3peat. If we can land 2 of the 4-5 guys we are aiming for, we will be right in the thick of it I think.
Get two of Lanier, Robinson, and Poplar, and I'm ready to take everyone's best shot.
I would include Achor in that group.
This isn't Monstars, we are not adding those 3 to the 9 quality players we all ready have. Be lucky to get 2 more
My post literally said get two of those three?
That’s a long zoom call, I struggle to make through 40 min ones for work
He said get 2 of those 3, and Kentucky is trying to get 2 of those 3
You know all of us (BBN) could talk UK basketball for hours
I would prefer Achor and one of the Lanier, Robinson or Poplar
Lanier has started followng 4 or 5 UK players and staff on Twitter.
Also, Fueger is now following Lanier and his mother.

Lanier is probably sometime in the next 2 weeks. Robinson won’t be until late may early June. Achor is auburn as of right now
I believe he is going through the “draft process” . Don’t know when that ends . I keep seeing people mention Achor but are we even involved with him ?
Read elsewhere that Robinson has let it be known he would be willing to stay in the draft with a second round projection . Ugh.
It makes sense with the way the staff has ramped up the recruitment of Lanier
I think it has to be a top 40 pick. Anything after that I think it’s back

I think May 29th is the last day to pull out.
Damn he would be great under Pearl. lol. Hope he doesn’t commit if he’s on or going down there without checking us out first. Toppin would be unstoppable here as well. We have some great options right now. I’d say most will wait until they get their feedback forms the scouts. Is Achor on a visit right now to Auburn?
They’re in contact with him but we don’t have a clue how serious anything with him is. Won’t know until he goes through the process. That goes for anyone I suppose until we hear something from the big dogs that are connected. Ohh think they have to decide by the 30th of this month or have to stay in. I believe that’s close anyway. Maybe 12 midnight of the 29 or 30th. Something like that.
I'd imagine we still have quite a bit of NIL to throw at Lanier at this point.
The UK staff probably saved some to ensure they'd be able to add a gunslinger to a roster that desperately needs one.

I’ve heard he likes our offense and it is similar to what North Florida ran so he would be comfortable in it.
Hope you are right. They said he would leave as a second round pick with a guaranteed contract. I don’t even know how common that is .
A lot of that has to do with the Sweet 16. No divisions big school vs. Small school everyone plays to go to the state and the really good kids want to play D1 ball. Perry and Noah will become special because they both fought it out til the final game and now they both play for Kentucky. In one year,this state has produced two great shooters but more than that they are both scorers and score in bunches. They both are lightning in a bottle.
Can't see anyone getting a huge guaranteed contract if they go around 45th. Around how much would that contract be if they did give him one?
Guaranteed contracts for iffy players gets NBA managers fired. I would think anyone going in the second round is a iffy player. If they are that good why didnt they go first round.
A guaranteed contract for a second rounder would be a small two year contract, a flyer, which is known. There is very little risk in that and GM’s won’t get fired for that. It’s big contracts on players that don’t produce that get GM’s fired.
