JFCats will create another thread in 10 mins on same guy
Andrija Jelavic commits to UK!
- Thread starter University-6
- Start date
This is a top 5 team right now. Add Wilkerson, I can still understand why Houston might be considered #1 in the pre-season, but ...... this is an absolutely loaded roster.
Garrison doing some soul searching right now like:
Garrison doesn't rebound or protect the rim. His focus next year will be showcasing his 3 point accumen. I hope he does it elsewhere,

Pope is going to turn us into Gonzaga with more brand pull and ability to grab players.
I’m good with that.
I’m good with that.
This dude is a 2 Guard in a PF body!!!
He is a FREAK!!!!
We just jumped WAAAAAYYYYY UP in the rankings not just the portal, but in the top 25 for next season!!!
Can't wait to see this TREMENDOUS player in Blue!!!!
Johnson is great enough to be our starting 2 guard. He's potential one and done which might be why these top shooting guards are going elsewhere thinking no matter what Pope says the home town kid will get the glory being as good as he is. So I think we could just go get that foreign PG , whats his name that just popped up like 2-3 days ago that looks like he's 15 years old . get him as the backup pg and we're good
Sweet outside stroke, excellent off-ball movement, sharp crisp cuts? YES!!!
My thoughts too, Mr. Runt! I’m ecstatic!!!
Huh. You don’t lose a guard and replace with a Center.
With this dude, we don't NEED any other player!!!
Now it would be very nice to get Wilkerson too, but we have the players to REALLY make some noise next season as is!!!!!!
he has potential to improve it but looking at those games he's not much better than Garrison.
He made 52 in his 53 games the past couple years..
We need another PG, or at the very least another guard that is capable of playing Point if needed IMO
I’ve been negative on the idea of Garrison as a starter. Wouldn’t mind one bit having him in a backup role.
4 rbs in 17 minutes aint bad, he gets normal player in traditional system minutes thats 8 rbs . not superb but that isnt bad
Absolutely. We needed a stretch 4 and a shooter and this definitely fills that 4. Very nice get.
I am to but the writing is kinda of on the wall with Wilkerson
I like him but just think we can upgrade/get more quality minutes out of the 5 spot. I'm at peace if he stays or goes.
I still think we get another guard though.
This was the kind of rabbit I was hoping Pope would pull out of his hat. Stunning portal season.
How will the media penalize UK for this commit? Seem like we’re always dropping in the rankings. Should be preseason top 10 right now and we’re not done yet in getting players.
It's a fantastic roster, but I'm really hoping for one more 40+ percent three point threat. As happened with Brea when our roster was decimated, if you don't have a couple of those on the floor simultaneously, it is not tough for a good defensive coach to demolish your outside game.
Regardless, this guy passes the eye test to be a big time player in the conference, for sure.

Lowe jasper, Williams Oweh, Chandler, jelavic, JQ, garisson and diuobate. Is a guard like Wilkerson gonna come and want to play only like 20-25 a game potentially
With the way our Bigs will be able to handle the ball, Jasper is MORE than adequate to play PG. Heck, he dished out 14 assists in ONE game this season against one of his team's toughest opponents. And Chandler can do it in a pinch.
Not sweating another PG. Now one more 40+% 3 pt shooter would be nice.
I’m very excited about him but he does not replace the need for one more stud guard. We still need one more piece….and we will get it
Welcome to BBN, Big Fella! Much needed pickup.
Guys , dont get twisted from the highlight vids. ... he's a 32% 3pt shooter. hope he can improve that number but dont expect a great shooter because that would be unfair to the kid when you realize he's not a sharp shooter.
Now what to get excited for is he's more fluid facing the basket and his potential.

Omg his passing highlights!!!
I'm super interested to get this season started and seeing how this all pieces together.
Coach Pope has done a GREAT job at improving his players shooting. If he can get this dude up to 37%, that would be more than adequate with his face up skills.
He is a slightly above 30% 3 point shooter. Wouldn't exactly call that a "sweet stroke". he shoots it about like Garrison. Funny how one player has a sweet stroke and the other is terrible, but shoot the same ??? What was his competition level ??? Several different levels over seas. Could be a nice stretch 4 we needed, but he is far from a elite shooter.
1. If BG already almost left earlier this week, and Pope talked him out of it, he would’ve told him another big is coming. If he didn’t bail Wednesday, he’s not bailing Saturday
3. Not same position anyway. Garrison a true 6, this kid is a 4. Same as Carr.
Get Wilkerson or another shooter, let’s role
