Great size and defender, too. Our team won’t light it up from three as many times next year but we are going to beat a lot of teams with defense, talent, and depth.
I think this team is going to shoot the 3 ball great. We don't have a Brea type but our shooters will benefit from having a lot of capable shooters on the floor. By the end of the season, due to injuries, all you had to do was shut down Brea and our 3 pt attack would suffer.

Because the school he played for chose to pay another transfer-in around $2.7 million dollars, more than they wanted to pay Aberdeen. The kid believed, I think with some justification, he had paid his dues - played behind the best backcourt in the country, and was next-up.

Our roster is completed

Unless we add development pieces
I don't know what "developmental pieces" means in 2025. If you get someone else who is capable of getting minutes at all you very much run the risk of running someone else off. And if they aren't capable of getting minutes (outside of blowout situations) you're asking the kid to hang around not only this year but next year as well - which I don't think is a reasonable expectation in the portal era.

We already have 10 rotation kids and 3 others (Moreno, Perry, Noah) who will be fighting for time. No room at the inn for others......

He could start here as a PG I guess. He has good handles and takes care of the ball. Not a great shooter but he is good enough that defenses can't just sag off of him to clog the lane. Free throws are pretty much terrible.

He had a rough tourney stats wise, but he brings size, experience, and physical toughness to the team. Will be interesting to see how Pope phases him in.

But one of our walk-on leaves, so could be one guy will come here (but will not play a lot)

If this addition doesn’t result in another transfer out, Coach Pope is setting up this roster to be one of the DEEPEST in the country!!! With a little of everything needed to compete against ANYONE!!

Hope we can keep the young guys for another year of development because this roster could set UK on a path to be GREAT for a LONG time!!!

It won’t relax this is basically replacing Lewis
