Big time prospect. Pope and staff are GOING TO WORK!
AJ Dybantsa planning to visit Kentucky this fall
- Thread starter University-6
- Start date
Okay, he is polite and nice. But, can he play basketball???
That kids a damn good basketball player
The new staff is already putting in great work for 2025! Love it!
Get Jasper Johnson, add Dybantsa. That’d be good
I trust that Pope can and will blend elite freshmen with elite upperclassmen.
It's not an issue to have a team that features Dybsantsa with Maleek Thomas and Jasper Johnson when they're surrounded by Darius Miller types.
It is an issue when 80% of your rotation are freshmen, however.
Will Reilly, a 6-8 five star wing sounds like he loves Kentucky. Wanted to come visit us two weeks ago but now rescheduling. Going to be interesting seeing what these highly rated recruits look like in this offense.

Any of Dybantsa, Thomas, Acuff, Wilson, and Johnson.
Those five are all studs.
Get two of them and surround them with guys like Reeves.
Just playing the other side of this, once this covid year eligibility crap is done with, could this change at all? To answer my own question: "Not as long as NIL is keeping kids in school who would have left to play professionally."
I have felt like he was the best player in HS regardless of class
Him, Johnson and Moreano would be a great start for next year's class!!
He would go #1 in this draft and the draft next year over Cooper Flagg as of this moment. #1 ranked player regardless of class.
Uh yeah I want him more than any player in 25.
The Vatican is out there doing work!
Must get recruit, Ala AD and Zion.
Some on here wants 0 5* to be recruited, I would love 2 top players a year to go with 2 portal guys and a freshmen to stay 4 years and contribute
Yeah. It's gotta be a real top 5-15 type. Not these fringe top 20-25 guys.
What...two kids from KY? I am flabbergasted, rendered speechless and stunned that there is homegrown talent! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Does that mean he doesn't walk too slow?
Yep. If he’s Anthony Davis or even Brandon Knight, sure go for it. Otherwise, fill the roster with Jeff Sheppard’s and Chuck Hayes’s.
Exceptions exist. Herro and Reed were both 4 stars. Those could fit into development guys. Don’t have to stop recruiting them either.
This guy is an absolute must get! #1 player in the country regardless of class.
I see you don't understand the relevance of "polite" in this discussion. I won't waste your time trying to explain it but I can assure you there are a couple of posters on this site who gets it and that is all that really matters.

Dude if he gets a roster together and wins the SEC makes even the sweet 16 in his first year…there will be 5 stars lining up. Players just need to see him win because if you win here , the path to the nba is the exact same as it was under cal but with more winning and better defense.
College is just a layover for the top 5-star recruits on their way to the NBA. They don't need college basketball to get picked up by the NBA. DJ and Edwards both would have been better off if they never played a college game. College only exposed weaknesses in their games that would have gone undetected until after they signed their contracts.

We don't have to stop recruiting anyone.
To me it is way more about the mix and prioritizing winning games and banners rather than being the best conduit to the pros.
I'm even fine with still being the the best way to the NBA as long as it is secondary to winning and producing good dudes to represent the program.
