Don't panic if this dude picks IU.

UK's roster is stacked. Top 5 worthy and Final Four contender from day 1 as it currently stands.

That is all.
Don’t agree. We are missing a shooter and big time scorer at guard.

As it stands, shooting is noticeably worse % wise than this past years team and Pope has to have it to win.

This kid is a must have. Missing on him/Yates/Pierre is similar to missing on Lanier last year.

It’s got to for real. IU got all the momentum and buzz right now. If he is posting that to his story then they are very much in the lead right now
I hesitate on that. A lot of recruits do that. I think he’s doing what he said he was going to do. I think that UK and IU will be his final two. If not already.

I’m sure the Indiana folks lurking could answer better than me! But for starters I expect pretty much all the programs with deep pockets/healthy NIL to be pretty good. They also upgraded at coach this offseason.

Tucker DeVries/Reed Bailey/Lamar Wilkerson(or player that takes the money they’re offering Lamar) is a heck of a trio presumably.

The DePaul transfer is an experienced pass first PG but ehh. Sisley is a nice freshman prospect.

I don’t know if there were any holdovers of depth guys. But I’d assume they still have a lot of money to play with and have really probably only spent considerably on their two highly ranked transfers.
The kid from DePaul is pretty much one of those guys to bring in culture. He knows what DeVries wants (coached him before)and can help with daily stuff. Works hard and plays above his talent level.

If there is one thing we should be sure of at this point is that the staff definitely has other options already. Probably a few and I doubt we have even heard of a few of them. All the eggs are not in the Wilkerson basket.
It’s still early. There will be those guys who hit the portal at the last hour. Some of these guys aren’t misses at all.

Who are yalls targets right now? Being that your in the same situation we were last year
DeVries seems like a fit kind of guy. He runs a similar system offensively as most so it’s no coincidence IU and UK have been targeting some of the same guys. They have the sunbelt player of the year on campus today. Conerway. Lampkin and a kid from Idaho.

Wilkerson is an Arkansas native and I am unaware of any loyalty or heritage connection to IU. The money offered by them and us should be in the same ballpark. So, let's consider the age-old goal of competitive athletes: to win, possibly even to be a champion. The Hoosiers have little to no chance to even make the NCAA Tournament. UK, on the other hand, will be one of the favorites to win it all. For me, I would choose the opportunity to actually BE a champion rather than to watch the championship contenders on TV.

Lampkin can’t have any eligibility left can he?

He feels like the missing piece to being a legit title contender, top 3 team. Pope needs to overpay if he has to. Whatever it takes to land him. Last thing I want is yet another year of being one guy short of being a real contender. It’s happened too much over the last 15+ years including this year.

Yeah we need a true knockdown shooter ala D Lamb this year.

He left indiana without a commitment and last night people were saying he was texting UK players while on his IU visit and that his IU visit didn’t go that well. Who knows what to believe but it certainly sounded good for Kentucky

I don’t think Indiana will rise this year quite as well as UK and Louisville did in one season. I do feel like they finally made a good choice though but may take a few years to compete with the top of the big ten.
