Annoying to face but if he came here I’d support it .
If the worst thing in life is you being an ******* on a basketball court then I got no problem with him . Unless he has done something off of the court that I don’t know about .

That’s my favorite part. Thsi guy covers the euro league. I think he is most likely engagement farmingKentucky college?
This is the type of dude you want on your team if you aren’t turned off by Alphas who give off that Big D Energy!
Get this guy Coach!
Get this guy Coach!
But I would very much like dame Sarr on Kentucky college next year
Kentucky College is good team. I play there. We destroy team. My dream being true. Go Kentucky College! Can’t wait for me arrive.
Hell yeah. Alphas with that Big D energy elbowing a player in the back of the head. Constant flopping and faking injuries. Sign me up
I think the risk is real that CBM is a team wrecker chemistry wise. He's talented but I'll trust Pope on this and he just doesn't seem to fit with this team or with Pope, imo. Give me Sarr! There'll be more really high end players enter the portal in the coming days, too.
From a quick google search, he had 2 technical fouls all year. Brandon Garrison had 3, including pretending to shoot a guy in the head after a made 3, so I guess we should get rid of him as well then?
He was the best player on Auburn in the Final Four game this year, best perimeter defender by far, made big shots and winning plays, etc.
Not wanting to take a guy because of a bad foul that happened 2 seasons ago makes no sense.
I've always said you hate the guy unless he is on your team. Good defender, can knock down a 3, very high energy. I would take him if Pope thinks he fits.
We will really love to have him if Oweh surprises us all.

What about when he did the same thing against Alabama just last month?
Nothing wrong with playing with a chip or an edge, but this guy has gone across it too many times for my taste. You don’t need all choir boys, but this guy shouldn’t be a consideration for UK imo.
Well he sure as hell wasn't a "team wrecker" in the Final 4 v/s Florida, nor the rest of the year. He was the 2nd leading scorer on the #1 overall seed that had 19 quad 1 wins. IF that is considered a team wrecker, sign me TF up for about 8 of them. He wrecked our *** for 22 when they came into Rupp and beat the brakes off of UK. Wrecked our team last year (23/24) also, had 14/6/3 with 1 steal and 1 block. Was 1/2 from 2FG, 1/1 from 3FG and 9/9 from the free throw line. Straight wrecked us but getting to the line 9 times because we didn't have ANYONE who could stop him. Yeah, I will take all those team wreckers I can get. Final 4 experience, check. Play at an elite level in the Final 4, check.
It's time others started hating UK again. We have had to be patient through the previous coaches softness. I don't think CBM will come to Kentucky but if you want to talk missing piece, he is the missing piece of all missing pieces.
Edit: BTW, I get a suspicion that he could wind up back in Pearls sweaty clutches.

Not the point of this thread, but:
Ike, who began his college basketball career in 2020-21 at Wyoming, still has an additional year of eligibility should he choose to return to Spokane.

Baker-Mazera's defense was actually pretty good when challenging Clayton. Clayton was just an incredible playmaker.
I have a hard time believing if Pearl really wanted him next year they would have found a way to keep him.
I don’t know what you’re talking about. The only things I’ve ever coached are inexperienced women.
Might want to check on his flagrant fouls....
You can have him! We're not Auburn. It was clear to everyone that he's trouble. Think he was involved in that Auburn plane having to turn around? Just a simple yes or no is all that's needed.
Mark Pope is interested and he is the coach. It’s unlikely CBM ends up here but if he does, I think we should trust Pope with that decision.
The guy has a few warts but you can't deny his ability. He's the guy you love to hate on the opposing team but love to have on your team. Him and Garrison would give us a couple of guys who are streetfighters and those attributes can help you win big.
I trust Pope so if he wants him I say go get him. I would personally be willing to pay him more than Wilkerson since he has a good resume. Just my two cents.

He's a talent but I'm surprised Pope is really interested in him. Where did that info come from? I'll support our team with him or without but I've seen too much from him to want him near our team and he doesn't seem to fit the mold of Pope players. Maybe he was the one trying to break up Auburn players fighting on the plane that had to turn around and just wanted them to have a group hug. Just a day or so ago, people were wishing BG would leave because of his temperment. Now we have being swinging from CBM's sack since he entered the portal. He strikes me as a player that even Cal would pass on.
This kid has ice water in his veins. I've watched him make big time shot after big time shot the last two years. If Pope and staff thinks he's worth it I'm all in.
Worth what? What is the "it" in your comment? Lol! Yes, I trust Pope but give me Sarr, as of now. Seems like the portal is heating up again for the late run, though.
Exactly!
The talent is there but dude rubs me as a chemistry concern.
If Pope feels he can harness his crazy streak then wonderful but don't nuke the locker room because our eyes got too big or we are feeling hungry to fill out the roster.
Those are legit concerns for sure. The wrong person can be a cancer and detrimental. I trust our coach to do his due diligence on if he fits or not. The great coaches have a knack for taking difficult players and getting them to buy into their system. He's a really good player though that is battle tested.
Pope likes fiery guys. I knew from the moment I heard he was entering the portal that Pope would want to kick the tires here. I think the way we view these guys is not always the same lens he uses. CBM is the kind of guy who is a psycho for basketball and Pope loves energy.
There are multiple reasons it isn’t likely to happen, but I suggest to go listen to Pope talk about the kid pre-Auburn. He clearly loves him some CBM. The things we hate about him, myself included, are why he is a monster of an addition onto a team.
How many guys with questionable on court judgement can you have? I tend to think you can have 1 and survive but more than that is a recipe for disaster.
Pope hs the bandwidth for it, my man. If he didn’t, he wouldn’t even pick up the phone
He would obviously be a top notch add talent wise for sure. The issues are the issues though and they could become worrisome but he would def help win some games. I’d say if we were interested or wanted to sign him make a deal where he doesn’t get paid if he acts like a fool.
They all do that crap, we have had our fair share of the same stuff especially in recruiting. It’s all about them dollars $ now.
