Kentucky watching guard Jordan Smith

Why waste the money and resources until this NIL is figured out
Brooks looks like the ball players, like he's already lost. No wonder he can't get a recruit. And look at Cal, all happy 
This was 100% the guy I wanted most out of this class. Of course we can’t seem to land anyone but I love his heart and he can flat out change a game. Ohh well. He and Stokes would be a dream class for us or anyone. Come on and make it happen coach.
Unfortunately JMI and/or nobody wanting to come play 24 minutes a game will ensure he’s not a Wildcat
He’s going to Duke or Arkansas. Why would we waste time and money trying to recruit a kid that has two of the best recruiters in the country recruiting him? I don’t want to be a pessimist, but he isn't coming here.

Cal always looks like a guy who was once the cool guy and now that he's older he desperately wants to be as liked as he once was
We ain't getting him. Look how sorry & sad Alvin looks sitting next to Cal and Chin?
Other coaches don’t respect our coaches. Bruce Pearl wearing that UK battling for recruits would make them a little more nervous.
he's still signing 5 stars left and right
Alvin looks like he’s afraid he’ll be snowed in.
I just wanted to delete this because it was unintentionally combative and I hate that, but my browser is glitching and won't let me.
I'd rather focus on reserve players from the C-USA instead of game changing high school recruits.
This story and possibly the outcome of Smiths recruitment would be a whole lot different if Rondo was setting there in Brooks place. What top guard would not want Rondo as a coach.
I’m curious as to why? We aren’t pulling any of these dudes.
Was gonna say... "watching" is the only thing he's gonna do.
Don’t assume they will figure it out.
Haters are going to rip Pope either way. If he is recruiting a kid, "he won't get him", if he isn't, its "why isnt he in on this kid". Fair is out the window, 4 losses equals crazed mob
Both Duke and Arkansas are finalist for both Brandon McCoy and Jordan Smith. My guess is that they each get one of them while UK looks on.
Our program is a clown show right now. Pope needs to step down at the end of March so that the next guy can hit the portal.
How so? We don’t land players. Look at the picture. We are a joke in the recruiting world.
Yea haters….. how about Kentucky fans not wanting to be a steamed turd as someone else mentioned? Fans like you are the ones who are ok with being a steamed turd.
Let Hart finish the year and start making calls to game changers now IMHO.
How dare you hold the millionaire coach and his 22 million dollar roster to a standard! This program was built on mediocrity!
Just because he has 16 losses in 46 games, went 0-5 on top recruiting priorities in 2026 with 0 recruits so far, a 22 million dollar roster full of role players and no stars, 4 losses already against any team with a pulse, and no momentum to speak of going into the new year means nothing!
What? You mean Alvin looks way out of his league sitting next to Cal? Yea we look terrible everywhere as a program rn. It’s bad.

That look on Brooks’ face looks like he’s waiting to go into the Principal’s office… Or, he lost a bet, and had to dress in all sweats, to go watch a player Pope has zero chance in landing, while the real suitor for him is sitting next to him smirking!
UK’s recruiting is burnt toast for the foreseeable future, and any efforts to pretend otherwise, is pure cringe and embarrassment.

Man the momentum is alarming. Usually when things aren’t going good there is always a last bit of hope. I guess we are all looking forward to seeing JQ but other than that it’s pretty depressing.
Beat the brakes off IU and Wilkerson I’ll feel better about everything. Winning cures all. Basketball and life in general.
