I think we got another great group coming in.

I like seeing the smiles on the guys' faces as they pose with that kid. Being a Kentucky basketball player is really like being a celebrity, and it seems like these guys are already embracing that.

I can't wait until we get practice clips and Pope speech videos this summer. It'll be just enough to whet the appetite.

Lowe is right, Kentucky is different, being an opponent and playing in Rupp is an eye opening experience. Playing here is unlike anywhere else if you are serious about basketball, everywhere you go people know your name from little kids to old ladies. I can't think any young athlete wouldn't like that feeling. The tradition and lore and a historical venue like Rupp arena along with driving down the avenue of champions and see Memorial coliseum knowing you play for the winningest college basketball program of all time, it is special, and these 4 guys seem to be awed by that fact.

Great to hear. I saw where Kam Williams had some glowing things to say about playing for UK and for the fans.

I know I'm awed by all those things just as a fan. I can only imagine them walking in to play for this program and seeing all of that.

Whoever wrote those quotes on behalf of the players -- kudos.

Seriously, they all seem fantastic.

So they have already officially transferred but are just now visiting?

Something sounds inside out.

They do that a lot lately they commit before even visiting I think we had a few do that last year too.

Coach Pope calls you up and says he looking for a forward to be a part of the greatest tradition in basketball and your one of the guys who he’s offering to. Are you gonna say “Yes!” Or “well, let me visit first and see how I like it”

I just hope we get them all here on time this summer. No stragglers. Foreign will probably be the hardest for the UK admission staff. For some reason they just love to hold up that kind of stuff.

Well now that Kentucky AD is part of LLC, I am curious if they can speed up the admission, visas and all the red tape with NCAA.
