I'm kinda shocked that most of the top portals have already committed.
He loves to hurry and post something negative, that's his point
I'm actually surprised more haven't. After the judge rules next week there will be major impacts to NIL and what teams can offer. It guys want the most money they can get they will commit before next week.
Point being, this portal season is a bust and we're lacking players.
Yep and here's hope that Pope has something up his sleeve.
I am starting to understand that. Thing is portal is not closed yet, more and more guys coming in to the portal. His 2 top 12s could end up top 30 and williams could end up to 50. Louisville, UK and any other college is not done with the portal. Just seems like a silly post at this time. If he likes to post negative have some substance behind it like, post portal and such.
I’m guessing a decent clip of those were already done deals before the portal even opened.
Portal season is over? Not one single player worth getting? Every team filled their rosters but UK. We will end up with 2 leapers, 3 blind mice and so forth?
We had zero players or a coach at this time last year… so you don’t know what you’re talking about
Maybe then it's best to wait to see what the judge rules? The ruling will impact all schools, so why not wait until the playing field is evened out by said ruling?
He knew that🤣 Personal attacks are one way of dealing with it!
Rebuttle to that point: <20% of the top guys have picked a new school, and more are entering each day, and we only need 4-5 this time, not 9 (like last year).
Louisville apparently had a better transfer portal class than us last year as well and we saw how that worked out.
We will get the kids that “fit” our system. Pope showed that he knows what he’s doing.

To your point, a guy like Bruce Thorton comes to mind. I have a hard time understanding him not eventually entering the portal. I don't doubt that OSU can come up with a good NIL offer for him if they want, but wouldn't others likely offer more PLUS a better chance to chase a championship and garner more exposure? The Ohio media is not yet convinced Thorton won't enter the portal, and you would think those are the outlets that would already be hearing and reporting he was staying put if that had been decided (and maybe they have, but I haven't seen it).
This is such BS! We won't be UK again until the next regime I'm afraid. That includes all new athletic department top to bottom!
I am in favor of a new board rule to immediately ban exclamation points. Goodness. Some folks are just very excited about virtually anything!!!
I'm shocked how much Rylan Griffen's productivity dropped at Kansas. He went from 11 PPG and 3.5 RPG at Bama with shooting splits of 45, 39 & 81 to 6 PPG and 2 RPG with shooting splits of 37, 33 & 67 at Kansas. Entering again but I doubt he will get the money this time he did the last time.
Even if Thornton were to enter the portal, what makes you think he is coming to us. We haven't gotten other kids we wanted. Thornton could enter portal and go to Duke, Maryland, or anywhere. Is there a connection that would favor us?
Here’s last year’s final portal class rankings
247sports.com
As you can see, 16 of the top 25 portal rankings for 2024 either failed to reach the second weekend (8) or didn’t make the tournament at all (8)
The portal is a total crapshoot.

That list is also fluid. If a big stud jumps into the portal today the rankings get shuffled
Last year, they ranked Brandon garrison as our highest ranked transfer. They should be all you need to know.
Why are we recruiting the IU guy instead of Hall? He is really good. Lendebourg and Hall would make two great forwards together.
Stupid argument. We all know rankings aren't 100% accurate. However, 99 times out of 100 I would rather roll the dice with the top rated guys then gamble on dudes who are lower ranked because it worked out one time.
Did I say Thorton would commit to UK if he entered the portal? I have no idea about that. The discussion with blue cincy was regarding whether players may still enter the portal.
Didn’t we get Butler and Jrob at the end of May last year? This could go on for months and a lot more good players will still enter over the next few weeks. We have 9 players as of now so we aren’t bringing in a whole team again
Yeah, this will go on for awhile. How many teams are actually fully built for next season right now? I’m guessing very few.
I think at most the top 20 teams this season have 1 portal player brought in so far. Hard to fathom how we are out of time or don’t have nil money comes from. We were handicapped from the start last year and we set ncaa records and we only need half the players we did last year. In the end everyone will be happy with the roster imo but if we all just waited what would we post about now? It’s fun to speculate for MOST of us!
I actually heard we are taking Cassidy Rowe bc we couldn’t find any other players to give scholarships too
We are asked to wait n see bro. And please be understanding that we are holding pattern.
We got weeks and months to figure this out. Plus we got the new ruling, which is beautiful.
