Lendenborg enters

Mannnnnn would be a huge pickup for the cats
This type of guy usually will have his draft stock up like rocket in workouts...
Mid major athletic guys
Many previous guys like this went from late second round to surefire first round in workouts.
Big time! Glad to see that effort was made. He is the biggest fish in the pond right now by a large margin in my mind.
With the way we got manhandled on the boards this season. Lack of rebounding costed us the Clemson game & it ended our season against Tennessee. Lendenborg is the #1 must get guy out there. He's a must...... Believe that I heard that he led his team in scoring, rebounding, assists, steals & blocked shots. An absolute must
This kid is a legitimate superstar being wasted in mid major. Seriously should go all out.
Joe Tipton saying he expects Kentucky to be a "major player" with Yaxel, and that Pope getting on a plane to see him yesterday made a big impression.
Question is do we wait on Yaxel or take Alvaro if he wants to commit??!!
Hopefully Pope ironed that out last night with the meeting

Yaxel is my Christmas wish and I really mean it when I say I’ll be good this year. If it’s true Kam, Alvaro, and Magoon are locked up then holy hell what a start. A future PG is for sure maybe Demary maybe Smith maybe someone we don’t even know. Will be interesting cause that will put us around 12 now for those last 3 are you taking projects who won’t expect to play or 3 rotation guys that push Perry, Noah, and Garrison to the 13-15 spots? The 15 number is odd because no school is gonna have 15 happy players heck in the past 9-12 are usually unhappy
Take alvaro
Then wait for Yaxel
Even if Yaxel goes to the draft, we will still have alvaro
If we quit on Alvaro, if Yaxel goes to the draft, we will have nothing
I hope this is legit, but this just seems like Tipton saying something vague trying to get clicks.
I think this guy will stay in the draft with more than 90% probability
I like many others probably feel torn down the middle. We all want to be loyal to those guys who dreamed of being here. However injuries hit hard and this year while they filled in admirably they often couldn’t match the talent they faced in the sec. I’m just glad that’s not my decision to make and coach knows he has to win so I’m sure he’s torn as well. We love all of our players but as a fan u can really relate to the in state kids growing up here dreaming about this like we all did.
I’m with you Yaxel most likely nba bound but on the chance he does come back to college it’s good to be in the mix. Notice that it wasn’t a zoom call? Coach knows what’s up cause this dude is a difference maker.
This was my question as well. If you wait and Alvaro goes elsewhere,then Yaxel stays in the draft. That would hurt!
I don’t think there is any waiting on Alvaro. I also don’t think they are not going to wait as long as they need to on Yaxel.
Tough situation indeed…hopefully Pope got all his questions answered yesterday
Looks like UK vs Michigan again for Yaxel
Decision could come as soon as this weekend

Yeah, I would feel better if we could get Gwath and Alvaro now. Stay on Yaxel and Hall. Hall is an exceptional player also.
I see Alvaro and Yaxel being able to co-exist in our system. Both seem to be good passers, comfortable with playing out on the floor. Pretty interchangeable, great compliments to each other on the floor at the same time. Hopefully they feel the same way.
Just reporting what is in the insider article my friend.
With YL, you aren't just waiting on his school decision, you are also waiting on his NBA decision, which will take longer. So I think any team would have to assume he's not coming, and then if he does it's a bonus.
Tipton said Kentucky and Michigan are positioned well, and he would be shocked if lendenborg made a decision by this weekend
That certainly picked up some steam
Pope should push for that commitment asap early signing bonus for Yaxel
