I'm a diehard notre dame football fan. I had nbc and ch 64 as my only TV channels growing up. So ya late night tape delay here fellers. And vh tapes galore during jb hall thru tubby. I'd trade baseball cards, playboys with kids that had ESPN and or wklt 27. Ya
Acaden Lewis de-commits
- Thread starter Win9ForKy
- Start date
Like some of others I think Pope has someone coming in and he saw that he was getting pushed further down the bench.
Maybe but it isn’t like it’s a guarantee we are going to get him. I’d recruit them both and take whoever wanted to sign first
Are we only supposed to have one PG or something?
Seems like a kid scared of competing for a starting spot instead of being promised a starting spot to me.
Best player available. Next man up.
Cal picked favorites in like September and never changed his mind lol.
Pope is so completely analytics and number focused I have zero worry about his decisions and rotation.
His rotation this year made complete sense, even with injuries, where as the previous 5-6 years I was basically screaming at my TV when subs came in lol
Still 11 something days for the portal. And that is still adding players.
Maybe a reclass?
Pope and his staff have my complete trust in both roster construction and rotation management.
Also, just found out about Lewis' dad and honestly would rather not deal with that crap during the season
He’s still mad that Cal isn’t here anymore
I thought this was a nice pickup.We don't need any players who are afraid to bet on themselves.the school who gets this beta.
Beta to be sure.
If pope can get JQ, he has no problem with getting huge talent
JQ is not traditional portal get, he should be in HS in his age
I mean even go to UNC, lewis is not guaranteed to be pg1
If he quits UK and goes to UNC to be PG2, I will be very pissed. Because he will also be PG2 in UK, which will prove he never loves UK
I wasn't sure if he'd be the 2nd string point or not but was sure he wouldn't be the starter. I guess he must have felt the same way.
Lewis: I'm good enough as a freshman to demand starting minutes at a place like Kentucky.
Also Lewis: I'm not good enough to compete with a 38% shooter for the starting spot, so I think I'll leave now...

Maybe the family needs money , under the circumstances, and they probably got promise that they will get more somewhere else. Regardless, disappointing decision . Good luck to the kid!
We will be fine getting someone else from portal.

I hate losing this kid. I felt he would’ve been a good one!
I wish more kids had the same attitude that Eric Bledsoe had coming out of high school when he knew he would be competing with John Wall for playing time.
Lewis' father spells his name JaRett , look it up on twitter. This spelling in the case is JaRRet Lewis. Not the same person.
If he goes to Okie State he 100% just wants to start and a bigger bag. Nothing to do with his dad at that point as far as the jail thing. That is even further away.
This is lazy. You can easily scroll up and see the words I typed.
People like security. If they feel like someone is double talking them, then their eyes shift elsewhere. You keep making this about Lewis, but Lewis isn’t responsible for roster construction. He is responsible for doing what’s best for him. And Pope and UK failed to make Lewis believe that UK is best for him.
His dad seemed a little too hands on. I guess I’m a little hypocritical, because I didn’t mind him being vocal and trying to get into the social media spotlight when he was praising Pope, but I can see now that this dude likes to talk a lot and that could have been bad down the line. I’m sure Pope is probably okay with shedding a parent that likes to talk a lot and seeks out the spotlight. As a coach, you have to be careful with parents that like to be out there on social media.
I mean we do have a lot of guards. I get it from his perspective.
I like Lowe but I think I’d rather have Acaden. I think this kid is special but we made our choice.

I can’t find one picture of the dude to make sure it’s even his dad. But I did find his LinkedIn page and he is a finance director in DC so the odds are good it’s probably him.
