UK has reached out to D2 standout
- Thread starter BassProCat
- Start date
I rather get high major guys over ones like this
I like this guy
6-8 with athleticism
On the bench in year 2
And could be contributor in year 3
High ceiling compared with Noah

Need depth…doubt he’s gonna be a starter if he attends UK
Do not think this guy will be starter or maybe even in main rotation
But I like him
You can see his video, he has enough size and athleticism, could be the guy for long term development..
Higher ceiling than Perry and Noah

So, is he the only one Pope has “officially” reached out to?
Don’t get me worried, Mark.
Don’t get me worried, Mark.
Do not worry
1. Pope is more focusing on preparing for tournament
2. Many players have not officially in portal so Pope can not "officially" reach out
Pope knows the assignment. And one thing that I know we are all aware of but has t been mentioned much this last week…hart and Brooks.
These dudes have connections and I am 💯 confident that they, along with pope, have a list of guys entered and ones that haven’t.
I am so confident we will have a top 5 talent roster when all the dust settles.

Johni Broome played for Morehead St. his first 2 years...
Also, he ranks high on some portal ranking...
I would hope we are selective and have reached out to very few players at this point. Don’t forget we are in the tournament THIS YEAR we have plenty of months to worry about next year.
I don't mind going to for this guy.. but he simply can't be recruited as our #1 option next year. And I'm not saying he is or anything. But my preference with a guy like this is to recruit him to be a 6th man type, for now.. and if he shows he can play at the high D1 level, then his minutes will grow.
Holy crap thats my hometown team -
Born in middlesboro and lived in harrogate near LMU
That pgm has been fire for a long time
Often cycling D1 players back through etc

Maybe as a 10/11 guy off the bench. Anything more than that, no thanks
Long term development guy
I like his upside
Just treat him as a four star HS recruit ranked between #30-#100
Morehead state is division 1. There’s a mighty big difference between d2 and d1
True
But he is already highly ranked on portal rank in On3
College Basketball Top Transfer Portal Players
The best 2025 college basketball players that have entered the transfer portal.
www.on3.com
Ranks higher than Obi Abgim, and Pope contacts him immediately after he enters portal already indicates we have interests
He will get lots of P5 offers...
Will be good development guy if he comes here
Size and athleticism can not lie...
You see how explosive he is?! Goodnight! Looks like a solid piece for the future.
Wrong wrong wrong. Better check out more tape on this guy before making a foolish statement
We are going to have 15 scholarship starting next year. Taking a guy like this could be a big pay off.
I can't but help chuckle sometimes at our fanbase.
Recruiting/portal services: could be an NBA talent hidden at the D2 level.
Some of our fanbase: eww D2 player? No thank you.

Everyone saw d2 and wrote him off lol
We have to get more athletic. Period
That dude is an athletic freak with good ball handling. I like it

Guys like Freeman build the roster and is what we need. Add the MDAA's to a solidify the roster then add good coaching. IMO, this a reasonable and best approach in college BB today.
Memphis got a guy like this that barely played in Johnathan Pierre a couple years ago. He did alright at Belmont this year.
Xavier is the only other team I remember getting a successful transfer from D2 in Yr1 in Zach Hankins back in 2019.

I can’t see this kid being better than agbim. But I will watch some stuff on him before I make long term judgementsTrue

Yeah, who would want a 6'8 sophomore athlete to be who avg. 19 pts, shot 58% and 45% from 3 and 80% form the line. LMU is a big D@ program and the SAC is a strong conference.
My daughter is a GA for the women's program and said he is INSANELY good. Super athletic. Said Tenn is on him, LMU is about an hour from Knoxville. Said he has many other Big D1s looking at him. Think her exact words were " He's about to get PAID"!!!

I wouldn’t mind having this kid as a development piece, but I don’t think these rankings mean a lot, they had BG ranked ahead of everyone on our team but Robinson last year
You can have up to 15 scholarships next year. You 100% take a flyer on a potential NBA talent to fill out your roster. Can't believe this is even up for debate.
