Scoring is one part of basketball! This guy blocks shots,rebs,plays good defense is a great athlete and a solid player!Lots of guys that watch and scout recruits for a living are saying what I said. We NEED immediate impact guys while Pope is still rebuilding our program. I just happen to have the opinion that Collins isnāt one of those guys as of rn. Look, I hope he comes in and averages 25ppg but Iām not gonna hold my breath.
I know future potential is a lot of these rankings, but honestly the top 10 guys usually pan out. Hopefully heās more Isiah Jackson than Edwards, but Iāll take him especially if he stays 2 years.The kid continues to get better.
Collins is 8 in the class he must be pretty good.

This is the type of player who could get way better in a more disciplined system.The kid continues to get better.
The funny part is he's not even a bad offensive player. Especially for a 6 foot 8 guy that is 18Scoring is one part of basketball! This guy blocks shots,rebs,plays good defense is a great athlete and a solid player!
Sign him up. Get a commitment and we can celebrate how good he is. Crystal balls are getting old.This is the type of player who could get way better in a more disciplined system.
He doesnāt need to be an offensive creator.
But he can maximize his talent and minimize his flaws instead of making non-effective plays in high school basketball.
Imagine him cutting and finishing with insane dunks in Mark Popeās system, just hitting open threes and using his speed and athleticism to rebound and defend.
Mark Pope hasnāt had a player in his system this athletic and talented (JQ hasnāt played yet). This could be a scary story for other teams.
Yeah I mean Iād love to upgrade the top end talent potential that doesnāt need to be a star right away for us to be great.This is the type of player who could get way better in a more disciplined system.

If he came to Kentucky what negative things do you think would happen?I guess we should want em with a huge downside lmao![]()
I want the best players and UK to win every game, it has nothing to do with former coach. Pope said himself that he will recruit the best of the best.Some of you need to deal with the fact that some of these folks just want the top overall player and draft picks. They miss the Cal way. They arent Kentucky first fans. They would rather have bragging rights about signing a top 2 class and expanding our drafts picks vs Kentucky doing whats best for UK and building a program of great college players who can win games and increase our overall win total, final fours and championships.
He is coming
The screenshot is on discord I thinkIf it was Trilly he deleted it if was on Twitter
Correct. Trilly makes a killing from his discordThe screenshot is on discord I think
Iām sorry. The only reason Iām halfway excited about these specific players is because of our current head coach recruiting them. Give me a list of the type of players Iām allowed to want at Kentucky so I can get real UK fan badge.Some of you need to deal with the fact that some of these folks just want the top overall player and draft picks.

My post must have hit a nerve since a couple thought the need to reply lmao. I didnt call you out or anyone else in particular. Just made an observation as most on here can also see. Its either that or they are just miserable never satisfied people who bathe in negativity. Or not UK fans at all.Iām sorry.

Yea I want all the top players. I wish next years team was the entire top ten from high school. Iām happy if itās top players from portal. Iām happy if UK is winning.
I know but the guy i commented back to said he couldn't score! My point was its one part of tge game and hes good at most all of them!The funny part is he's not even a bad offensive player. Especially for a 6 foot 8 guy that is 18
Ive got no idea what negative things would happen with the 8th ranked player! Where did I say we would?If he came to Kentucky what negative things do you think would happen?
Man that blows my mind you want to land a top 10 kid!Iām sorry. The only reason Iām halfway excited about these specific players is because of our current head coach recruiting them. Give me a list of the type of players Iām allowed to want at Kentucky so I can get real UK fan badge.

Yall need to read the point I'm replying to! He said the kid had no offensive upside, which that in itself is ridiculous,but even if it was true I listed besides being a solid player scoring all his other abilities.The funny part is he's not even a bad offensive player. Especially for a 6 foot 8 guy that is 18
The ideal situation next year would be to have BG backing up MM at center with a freshman who would probably redshirt battling Potter for 3rd string and have MoD at the four backed up by Jelly and Hawthorne with Chandler, Lowe, Noah, and Williams back at the 1-3 positions. If we lose any of them it will be to another team offering more than Pope thinks they're worth. MM and MoD and Lowe might all be projected as late first round picks in the upcoming draft but that means they could also slip into the 2nd round and be taking a pay cut and locked into 2nd round money for 4 years so...they are not going pro unless they are delusional about their draft prospects or some team drafting 16-20 gives them a guarantee.It is safe to think we will have most (not all) come back if we have successful season
Mark Pope was almost successful in bringing everyone back (except Travis Perry)
Na just showing a different perspectiveMy post must have hit a nerve since a couple thought the need to reply lmao. I didnt call you out or anyone else in particular. Just made an observation as most on here can also see. Its either that or they are just miserable never satisfied people who bathe in negativity. Or not UK fans at all.
Unfortunately most freshman that have their mind set on being the man donāt wanna share and rather go somewhere else. Possible yes probable no.I sure hope not. I believe this is Kentucky and we can get more than one. Why is it always one or the other? I get itās how it might end up working out but why canāt we get a couple top ten guys?

Stokes isnāt a good fit here. Heāll be a headache from day 1.I like Collins but really wanted Stokes more.
I don't agree with that at all.Stokes isnāt a good fit here. Heāll be a headache from day 1.
You will eventually.I don't agree with that at all.
We don't know that he has.You will eventually.
If Pope backs off a potential recruit, you can bet that thereās a good reason.
