How many portal transfers will we sign next year and what positions will need to be filled?

I wonder if he is an "in the system" type of guy or a "volume shooter" type of guy. The latter might not work well here. Not saying I'm not interested in the kid. Anyone who can put up fifty in college is worth a look of two. Just wonder how he fits in Pope's system.
As long as he is not selfish, he definitely fits well in Pope's system...

Believe in Pope, he will have a good judgement

I’m sure there will be and I’m sure pope has his sights already set on who he wants but if he wants to join I wouldn’t wait around on other players.

Edit-also feels like by that comment there has already been some back channel contact by pope.
I like agbim and Wilkerson better personally. But like you said if eagles staff wanted to come here you obviously take him. I think eaglestaff goes to bama though

I really think we’ll have an embarrassment of riches in terms of talented transfers being interested in us this portal season. COTY seems to be somewhat political. But kids know what they saw.
What I'm thinking too. They'll be so many good players that choosing between players may often be a close call - and UK will be able to pick and choose to a large degree. So, the decisions for Pope and his staff are likely going to be kind of tough, and once the season ends they are going to need a lot of caffeine for 3 or 4 weeks.

How many portal transfers will Pope try and sign for next season?
This is just how I see it(could easily be wrong. A clear starting PG, a shooter/wing scorer, a starting center and a PF and 4 pieces I think they for sure need

It is starting to feel like that isn't it? Don't know what discussions are going on behind the scenes, but it does seem some must be going on.
I think they have been going on since conference play started
