Almost like as soon as Lee went to Florida, Jackson popped for SJ. I assume they had 2.5-3M type offers out to both for the first one to accept(yes I know they’re different positions)
Watkins would be a dude I’d love to get, he’s not the shooter we need but dude can score other ways.
So St John's has no trouble having 2 stud SG's but UK can't get 1 because of JJ or Colin. Yeah that's BS.
My standards typically lowered the closer it was to closing time.
Yes, right after Washington got him. They sure did.
I didn’t think Wilkerson was that big a loss, but going from him to this dude has me like…
EXACTLY. Ain’t nobody that can play a lick scared of Colin Chandler taking their mins. I swear, the stuff that gets said on here is comical.
This just feels like the type of player Pope and Co will go after. And should.
Average of 2.2 and 34.7 from FG. Am I missing something? I know that can be misleading but those percentages definitely don’t stand out. Feels like a settle if it happens
Yeah I’m not feeling this one.
This kid has a lot of potential. Former top 70 2024 recruit. He apparently played really well last season at the top 100 camp. Looking at pics, he does look like a late bloomer physically. He can shoot, he's long and pretty athletic too. Scouting reports from high school needed him to work on his handles and his frame.
Of course I'd love a Ian Jackson or Dame Sarr, but there's definitely potential. Yes, I'm being optimistic , but looking back at last season, none of us expected Oweh to be as impactful on both ends of the floor.

I guess he has one year of college under his belt but seems like we may as well take the kid who visited today if that’s the case. Hawthorne?
Kentucky already got a really good guard. “Stud” label a lot of yall are using is silly.
For the same reason I said the moment I heard UK was contacting him. We run a very specific system and are 12 deep already. Ian Jackson would demand shots, PT, money that I didn’t think we could offer. The Pope system relies on having multiple guys working almost co-equally together. I’m not throwing shade at Jackson —- I never saw him as a fit here. If Pope really wanted him, we’d have been on him sooner, just my opinion.
We don’t need THE guy, we need a guy.
Yeah Jackson isn't a stud and you created a thread about how much you wanted the Stanford guy.
Under Pope, the “stud” is the name “Kentucky” on the front of that jersey.
Oh lord. Guys don't come for the front of the jersey anymore. It's not 1955. Maybe guys like Perry but that's it.
Forgot about him, There hasn't been much info out on him.. unless i missed it. I guess the visit was today, so maybe some info will be out tomorrow. Not sure Hawthorne would help much this coming season - that kid is extremely skinny. Really good length , but not super twitchy.
Yeah but I never called the Stanford guy a stud man. The Stanford guy is a good shooter, which is what we need. The “stud” term and acting liking Kentucky has to have one is not true.
Thanks for letting my know. I may need to go buy a calendar
In all seriousness, I like you as a poster, Cornbread. You seem to always be so worried about the roster —- we can’t change it haha. Don’t shortchange yourself, man. Let’s enjoy the ride. I believe in the vision Pope has and I believe you’re gonna be proud of what you see. That’s just my opinion.
This is a good example of why I think fans need to avoid getting fixated on any one player as being a “must have” recruit. There are literally thousands of guys out there around the world with skill sets to fit roles that any given team might need. To act like there are only a couple shooting guards who are capable of filling our needs is very naive.
I have no idea if UK is even looking at this guy. But the point is there are other players out there that can provide what we are looking for on our roster.
Pope is having trouble finding a 2 guard. It is what it is but people acting like it's not true are in denial.
Make sure you know the whole GD family tree like the SARR family or you post misinformation
I'm sure the money has nothing to do with it. Guys like Oweh are just playing for the name on the jersey.
Could be a just in case thing if Hawthorne recommits to WVU or to VT, if they've even reached out to Glover
You get paid good to be a Kentucky player. Based on what we have heard, however, we don’t overpay anyone and I think I understand why. It’s a filter. I watched BBN Tonight anf I heard Pope keep using that word “filter.” Starting to think he’s got the right idea. The players who are here want to be HERE and they want to be part of a TEAM. That’s why it’s going to work in the long run imo.
Bro, folks on here were wringing their hands last year when Aiden Mahaney visited and there were pictures of him out to eat with Pope, etc. and then like 2 days later he picks UConn.
If Mahaney comes here, Brea goes elsewhere.
I’m just saying, sometimes missing on a player can be a blessing in disguise. I do agree with you though that missing on a half dozen is cause for alarm.
