I’m sure he talked to Pitino about the guy before reaching out. If he can play, come on down to the big time

You know, i kind of only care if he reaches out to Pitino simply to ask about his skill set, certainly not to ask for permission. It's the transfer portal, every man for themselves.

And we certainly know Pitino isn't asking anyone's permission.

Pitino recruited over him so doubt he cares.

I assume he’s transferring out due to being recruited over, thus joining one of the deeper teams in the country in UK would make little sense.

But former top 50-75 recruit last year. We’ve at least reached out to nearly every top 100 recruit that enters the portal.

I would think, but looking at the kids list he might be good and just didn’t get a chance to play
If you look at a couple of the guys he’s going for, not all of them are trying to fill a rotation role. Pope clearly wants some depth pieces and that’s ok. The kid that was contacted has a reputation for being one of the more popular guys in the NY area — could make him attractive down the road as development guy. I don’t see him stealing minutes from our rotation guys if this goes any further than kicking tires

I honestly don’t know anymore. A lot of these kids don’t have realistic expectations about what they are. I found a player today that would do exactly what we need perfectly. Marcus banks jr.

More like we are outbid for some. Dent wanted to stay home though.
You’re not wrong, bidding always plays a part in it. But SGs don’t want to fight for time against guys with the upside that Chandler and Johnson have. I absolutely think both things can be true

With those stats more like just a warm body to make sure you have 5 on the floor at all times. I'll trust Pope's decision though.
Don’t judge just the stats though. A lot of basketball evaluators see big upside. Could be something to swing for, depth piece for now —- much more for later.

Bro that guy shot 10.5 3pt attempts per game… his defensive numbers are abysmal but 41.8% from 3? I know he’s small but that’s a guy that could put up some big numbers as a 6th or 7th man. I hope Pope knows about him

I’m just trying to find shooters.
