Aberdeen to UK!
- Thread starter senonesy
- Start date
Sounds like Gators being salty and making excuses for why they are losing a key piece off their title team honestly.
He absolutely left bc UF prioritized spending on an incoming guard and assumed they’d retain their current roster for an incumbent discount.
But the “this will likely be his highest paid year as a basketball player” comment is passive aggressive shade.
It’s also not been a secret that Pope and staff haven’t offered outrageous money in other examples when it could have swayed a player.
Wow, massive get for Pope.
I am shocked Florida let him get away

I love this kids game. I watched UF several times this year and he was a diamond in the rough type of talent. He was very much overshadowed by WC Jr but he oozed talent. Plays really hard and has good handles.

Pope and staff …. “Wait wait wait wait ok attack!!!!”
Aberdeen fits the roster needs better.
Pin this for the next moron that quotes him as having “a source” or vouches for him! I bet a few noobs are changing their screen names in the hopes of starting over without the frosted taint.

Branham changed his more talent incoming post to this:
We just got the official decree.
Barring any developmental pieces that don't have a chance in hell or expectation of playing this year, I'd say so.
It's crazy that a guy who averaged 7 ppg, 2 rebounds and 1 assists gets $2 million+
I don't see how this is sustainable long term.

Right, but that doesn't answer the question. Guess we'll find out soon enough, but it's not out of the question for Pope to add both guys.
Mic drop on an EXCELLENT transfer portal season.
Im sure pope paid him 1.5 or so the money he had for Wilkerson. The intangibles (experience. Title, etc) and need at the pg back up and to push lowe he will be a good fit. I still think pope goes for another shooter. Pope knows he’s oh so close and went for the best value left. We absolutely needed another starting caliber pg and a leader with energy and coming off a title is great. He will be a role player but. A super important one.
Pope absolutely cooked this offseason
We had folks on here worrying about Kentuckys spending capabilities. That should be laid to rest for good now. We were always going to be one of the top spenders in this sport and our roster is showing that.
I see him as slight undersized replacement for JR. He can handle a bit , just like Jr, can shoot from outside ( maybe not as good as JR but room enough room to improve) and maybe better a seeking contact. He is FT %. is not great and freshman year he bear,y take any 3 shots…. I think he is still growing into his shooting so room to get better.
He is athletic enough and decent defender so good get.

Field of 68 moves UK to #3 after today’s developments
Does this count as the shooter everyone says we need? 33% for his career with less than one made three per game.
Seems like we still need a guy who is a proven 3 point threat

Me looking for all the people that were saying Pope can't recruit just 2 short weeks ago....
Another post said we may still be in on
Ready another post from Sisk on X that says we may take Griffen too. Wow! What a roster!
A much better add overall than Lamar Wilkerson in my opinion, much more versatile, a better athlete, fills the role of big-time back-up PG and undertands playing within the team concept for a winning program in the SEC, not taking all the shots for a 6-12 (in conference) C-USA team ...And: He played in the National Championship against Houston...not for SAM Houston.
Thanks for overpaying for "I Wanna Be The Man" Wilkerson Hoosiers. This is why you are who you are.

That guy is going to start for Big Blue. This is a big loss for Florida.
Sticks a dagger in the eye of the 2 time defending DPoY and then calmly walks away....

Another "out-of-nowhere" commit that shows there aren't many that has insider info now. I like the addition!
Between Collin Chandler, Jasper Johnson, Trent Noah and Travis Perry, Coach Pope will have a shooter.
At least one of those and possibly more will be able to fill that role when needed.
It's interesting that Kentucky keeps landing premium players. Not long ago, there were many questions about whether or not the wittle ole state of Kentucky could compete with the big, bad major media markets in the NIL game.
And now both UK and Louisville have two of the top 10 NIL packages in the game.
I am not sure Pope is 100% complete. I think he wants one more shooter or guy to go get his points type of player. Maybe we see a international player add yet again or maybe someone from draft that removes his name. Hope so anyway. Would rather have too much talent than too little.
Sarr was asking 2 million…. I guess staff went Aberdeen instead.
Every team needs an Allen Edwards, and we just landed ours.
