Stokes is the only high schooler that can come in and make a huge difference as a freshman. Any other high schooler I’d take a transfer before I take them. Different ball game these days give me a grown man all day every day.

We also could have 10-11 returnees including many likely starters:

Johnson
Chandler
Williams
Dioubate
Garrison

I’d say Lowe test the waters but comes back. Then Kam will be ready to step up and be a double digit scoring 3 and D all SEC stud. Mo D will be back and even better at the 4. That’s 3 major returnees already. Plus Chandler and maybe Jelevic idk. Hes a WC. He could go off and get drafted this year or need to return. I see JQ. Jasper getting drafted RD1. Garrison prolly leaving one way or another. Hawthorne should be a stud backup af the least year 2. Who cares about Potter and Noah. But I think we’ll land a couple top 15-20 kids and definitely get a couple stud transfers.

Lowe. I mean I hope he goes off to the point he’s a 1st rounder. But rn I’d think he’s returning. And that’s huge in itself. I think JJ is gonna act stupid and go mid-late 1st. But we’ll get a couple big recruits. But Kam could be a 15 pt scorer next year. Chandler could give us a stud backup 2. I think we need an upgrade and let him backup somebody. But yeah. Mo D will be huge. He’d be a stud who could give us 10pts 8/9 boards. Jelevic and Hawthorne ??? We just need a stud 2 G. Backup 1 and a stud C. Moreno will be a solid backup

Im not worried about HS recruiting nearly as much as I used to. CMP has proven he cam build a sweet 16 team entirely through transfers. Add in the fact that we have something now we rarely had under Cal...kids who were interested in staying in the program multiple years...and I sleep really easy. Besides, Pope is going to get his in the HS ranks as well

Probably will miss both of Kinney and Crowe

It is possible we fail in 26 HS class... We are not leading any players as of now

I don't care, we will be fine, I trust in Pope regardless after seeing the deep team he built incoming season

It may not mean as much with new new transfer rules but we only have 2 seniors on the team I believe. So we may be able to keep some of these guys for next year. We know we can compete for players w/o question.

Being from Newport I'm really hoping we land Kinney but I think UK would have to unload a lot of money to get him from Louisville.

I think the staff is prioritizing Ripley and Kinney for the point guard position.

I agree with this statement. In today's world a team can bring in a freshman, give him some playing time and he will be looking for more money at another school. You develop him and he bolts for $$$$

I would rather be the team that let's someone else spend the $. Free agency and NIL has changed everything

Unless The freshman point guard is John Wall good it's a waste of time recruiting freshman point guards.
Plenty of good transfer high quality point guards available every year that will be better than any freshman point guard for the most part.
Imo. My opinion ain't worth **** though LOL

Just not high on this kid. Louisville or Arky look like a good fit for him. Give me Holt and Stokes out of the high school ranks and the rest transfers.

Not going to sweat missing out on a small, scrawny high school point guard in the portal era.

He's the same size and weight as Lowe and Japser, Jasper is an inch taller but 5 lbs less. Not sure it's as much about being scrawny as it is experience. I prefer experience but Taylen is more athletic than both Jasper and Lowe I'd take him in a heartbeat.

Not getting any of them...We just can't land elite recruits outside of the State! Don't know what the hell is going on but that has to change...I have faith in Pope to figure it out.
