If we get Robinson and I think we will I would rather have Riley than Lanier. The more I hear he's defense is not good. Basically he's strong point is shooting the three. We have several others that can do that. If you haven't watched Riley you should. This kid is awesome.
Give me Robinson and Riley
- Thread starter steelman100
- Start date
It is traditional to wait until a kid picks someone else to do the "didn't want him anyway" post. You are a bit premature for Lanier, as he still has't announced.
Didn't stop you from being you though
I never said a thing about he's decision did I. I only said give me Robinson and Riley. I hope he reclassifies and we get him. Watch he's highlight video.
I would take that but we only have two spots. We have some guys I think we are overlooking
I hear they are trying to get him to reclass. I've heard he has a trip scheduled. If that's true he's interested. Both would be a awesome finish to the class
Just hard to see 2 guys who are going to want shots and mins coming here. Unless Riley is cool with year one being a developmental year, which I doubt he would
Pat. He’s gonna be the assistant coach.
Watch he's hi light film on you tube. Will Riley. 6'9 guard.
Poplar said he is still planning on visiting UK. His list is AR, UK, Oregon, Kansas or stay in the draft.
If Riley chooses to reclass it would serve him well to use it as a developmental yr to go against grown men in practice. College and the AAU circuit are not the same.
I think in the age of NIL there's no such thing as a scholarship limit. Just pay someone the additional value of their scholarship. Solved. Not that I think we're getting all three.
His other visit in June is to Bama and they are totally loaded so it would seem UK has the better chance.
The couple most recent videos of Riley he's looked ridiculously good. He just looks physically weak. If you can sell him on development and no promises I think we'd love to have him.
I have watched the videos and I still agree with dontworryboutit. Next year would be a developmental year for Riley – which, by the way, I believe would be very beneficial for him. But it’s only really beneficial for UK if it’s very likely he would play a 2nd year. I think he would have very limited value to winning next season. If you believe UK must have one more player (dubbed a “stud” in rafters parlance) to make next season successful (e.g., high SEC finish & tournament run), then I think Riley is the proverbial shiny trinket. But as long as the best players NOW (i.e., not necessarily the most "talented") play, then I'm glad for every player brought in - and I'm assuming that will now be the case under Pope.
We have six hardened veterans that are talented. Getting at least one more young guy that has a high ceiling makes the most sense. Even if no Robinson we could afford two young high ceiling guys to finish it out. Everybody on our roster is good so we can afford to do it that way.
Would love to get Johnson, either this year or next. He would be my top priority for either year. Another legacy.
DP is not going to reclassify
in Popes offense he could easily play PG
he and DPsr are leaving for Italy in the morning
Nobody is ever gonna reclass. Until after Peach Jam in July and miraculously they do...
that is very true
DP is not going to reclass and is staying at Huntington Prep next year
nothing in life is ever 100%
but it is 99% on him not reclassifying and staying at H-Prep
I'm wondering why the more informed posters aren't responding to this.
