Same. And we aren’t winning it all if we are depending on 4-5 FR for crucial minutes.
JJ, Ament, Lewis and Moreno would flat out fit that bill too and make it very hard for any portal transfers to come to UK.
With rosters expanding to 15, if everyone comes back that’s expected to (that’s 5, 6 if Krissa returns) and we get 4 freshman we still have room for 4 or 5 in the portal.
Ament is a talent that you make room for and would crack open the door with Pope getting elite recruits. You might not need 4 every year but if you take 2-3 it would be good for us if 1 is an elite top 5 player.
One transfer spot has been rumored to be Max Green (Holy Cross’ leading scorer, good shooter, great passer and played at Oldham County). If we took him, then I’d load up with defense/toughness spots with a large portion of our other 3-5 other portal spots.
I selfishly wouldn’t mind us taking a look at Reece Potter since I know the kid and his family and think highly of them. 7-1, great 3 point shooter, good assist rate, decent shot blocker). He’s at Miami (ohio) and has some Luke Kornet type potential. Grew up in Lex and played at Catholic. He and Malachi down the road as a pair would complement the roster well.
Perry starting tonight, Kaluma out.
