I wouldn’t go placing bets on that info but it’s what i was told. Of course 5 minutes after I was told it could be outdated, who knows.
Lewis or Brown?

I don’t know, who do you know?
I’m not selling it as I have a connection, I don’t. I just asked someone smart on this stuff. I was more interested in Mullins after the the IU guy came spreading news Mullins was not going UK. I’ve been around RR something like 15-20yrs. I’ve never said anything of value in recruiting because I don’t have connections.
I agree, there are tons of fringe level Pros, or European type pros who can definitely make bank on college now and it wouldn’t be a bad idea to hone their game and extend their careers in college to make the most $ they can. Wait their turn and truly be ready when they step on the floor.
None of us do, we are all fans retelling what a person told us in a random setting or we saw online. As for me, I know absolutely nobody, my family member is a booster for UK, but I don’t go to them and say give me scoop on Kentucky, because they don’t know anything
Personally, I think he looks quicker than Reed did in high school, but that might just be me. So much has been made of Pope's system and how it emphasizes cuts and movement to keep defenses on edge rather than just driving to the basket. MAYBE Perry doesn't have to be the most athletic guy on the court to succeed in our team's new system. I see basketball IQ, vision, passing, and shooting as being more important in the new UK than the old.
And if we're talking defensive speed, Pope did alright at BYU with guys who looked slower than molasses in winter. Lots of unknowns.
That said, an in-state star with a year of experience in the system should absolutely have an advantage against anyone we bring in. This isn't drive and then draw a foul or kick anymore. Supposedly.

I know he is not in next years class but man we need to get that jet from Newport ky as our pg
Kids who aren't developed or good enough to play and have to redshirt aren't going to warrant loads of NIL money.
Watching Perry a few times in high school, I don’t remember seeing another high school player that moved as much as he did - almost constantly in motion. I suppose as the focus of defenses he had to learn to play that way to get the shots the team wanted him to get. I think that movement will be a huge factor in how successful Perry becomes. At a minimum, I think it will allow him to be a productive player and show up on the other teams scouting report.
Reminded me of how Indiana used Steve Alford. But you gotta be pretty old to remember that, lol .
I only remember the Indiana players thzt Bobby Knight chocked.
Lol. I'm old enough. And that is a good analogy. Of course, Alford was bigger; and that's my only concern - not about Perry being a good player, but as to his ceiling.
Graf said UK is in a great spot with Lewis but Duke is really going hard after him.
That means he's Duke bound. We've heard a similar descriptor for a ton of guys in the past: UK is in great shape with (insert elite recruit name), but Duke is going hard after them.
And then they magically end up in Durham. Yuck.
Yeah but it’s a new regime and it seems like they guys we are rumored to be in good with, we actually are.
I think that’s why pope and staff are going all in on Lewis now, since he will be deciding early or is rumored to
Another potential benefit of getting a PG commitment in the Fall is that I think it might be easier for an uncommitted recruit in the Spring to just pick another school than it would be for one who already committed in the Fall to decommit if UK lands a top PG from the portal.
One of those fake insiders on twitter said that Caleb Wilson told the current players that he is coming to Kentucky.
Fingers crossed
on that rumor. Watch his tape, great player. Also, great kid and student
Yeah that’s not the part I’m questioning lol. Wilson is legit, I’m questioning the bs sources on twitter trying to be insiders nowFingers crossed
Lewis recaps UConn visit.
With full blown NIL now, Duke’s recruiting “advantage” is obsolete, so hopefully this stigma dies off very soon!
There’s a reason K hung it up! Duke was about to get exposed, when the $$$ playing field evened out
Moreno wants to play with Lewis. Jasper wants to play with Lewis. Caleb Wilson wants to play with Lewis. So I would go with who they want to play with. They already have played with him or against him enough to believe that they will have good chemistry. Hopefully Jasper and Moreno can recruit them to play here at UK. The social media chatter looks good so far but who knows.
Graf also said that he won't go to Duke if the Boozer twins go there.
I read Trilly just predicted Lewis to UK.
What if this weekend's visits go really well? First to commit? Love for us to be in that position. Also love to be a fly on the wall for those tough coaching decisions.
