I’ll take Yates or Pierre, either one will do. Both have the size and athleticism and shooting we need.

I’m leaning toward Yates as my personal preference just because he played in the Big 10 and I am a bit of a P5 conference snob. I like guys that have proven they can play at the highest level. Plus Yates has three years left compared to two years for Pierre.

But I would be happy with either one.
The SEC has been run by mid major transfers the past couple years. Clayton, Sears, Broome, and Lanier were all very good last season.

We have nobody like Alvaro on the roster. We need him bad for flexibility, skill and depth.
I tend to agree with this. We are guard and wing heavy. Alvaro seems to give a PF who can fill at center. Williams and MD can give minutes at both SF and PF. JQ and Garrison seems like our true centers.

They released the way too early top 25 and we were 6th. I could see us moving up if we add one of those 2
They also released it before we got Jayden today and if we get one of Pierre or Yates Id say we shoot even further up the list.

Lol you, booker and jfcats just can't help yourself 🤣🤣🤣. #3 transfer class now. #3 overall class.
NochiTTP is the most clueless poster on here. Not even close. The lack of basketball knowledge in the game threads is borderline cringeworthy. NEVER gives an educated, fact based post. Making things worse, addresses the head coach as "Mark" like they are cousins or something.

NO, you said, repeatedly (in almost every thread) that there was no money. Then you said Mitch....blah, blah, blah...
You are a terrible **** stirrer. You do it on purpose.
He's exactly why the ignore button exists, only time I might even see their crap is when they bait someone else with their constant negativity.

Seriously, the ignore button was made for someone like them (and a few others on here)

There are some that you know right away will never have an intelligent conversation on here. I just put them on ignore right away. I’m fine with differing opinions but if every word is just negative bs I’m out. If you aren’t here to share in the excitement of something we all love then why be here?

I think I saw that one last night, and that was before the news today.

Going to hold off getting super excited about JQ just from the PTSD I have with similar issues during the last 5-6 years.....but its a new Coach and completely refreshed culture/goal so fingers crossed he's ready for September

If we get Yates or Pierre - and maybe even if we don’t - that’s a loaded roster, and brings a problem we haven’t had to worry about in while. Which is, how do you keep them happy? It’ll sort itself, always does……but of those 13 names (if you include Yates) it’s hard to pick out ones who might be ok not playing a whole lot. Probably Perry and Noah, given where they’re from. After that…..Anyway, good problems to have.

Sounds like Yates may not be an option for UK any longer. If true, huge bummer, I thought he was perfect for what we needed.
