That’s why they moved on. Fit and he was asking for a lot more than they were willing to give
Yep and there may have been concerns about system —- there were rumors related to his isolation-focused offense. We need a guy we can count on purely in catch and shoot that is a willing and capable passer and can be comfortable being a cog in the wheel rather than a focus of the offense.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the teams in on Pierre ole miss and Auburn are other teams in on Wilkerson. Also Indiana has another guard visiting this weekend as well

I haven’t heard anything that makes me feel like we for sure have Wilkerson. I know IU people still think he’s a Hoosier. Goodness, I’d jet pack through my own roof if he’s a Cat!

I was never excited about Pierre. I was a Yates guy, but I think Wilkerson would be a great addition as well. I don't like having all our eggs in one basket, but there's not really another player like Wilkerson in the portal right now. That doesn't mean one could end up in the portal, but he's kinda unique, which is likely driving his price up.

Is that just a guy you want or is there mention of a UK connection, coz those highlights have me woozy. I might have to go find some film on that guy
I went on YouTube on Tuesday and I’m being dead serious a game of his with the highlights was in my recommended videos. So I looked him up on Twitter and yeah I wouldn’t mind him if we miss on Wilkerson. He play in the Nike hoop summit Saturday

True. Hope you’re right but they have deep, deep pockets allegedly
Oh trust me, I have no idea what their cash flow situation is, I just know they have to get a lot of players and I have to believe they can't just go crazy on one guy… .or at least I hope they can't.

Here’s a potential guy to look at if Wilkerson doesn’t come to fruition

Talented guy. Have no idea about the competition he is playing, and how it compares to the SEC. Wonder if he would still be able to create jump shots and finish at the rim like that in our league.

Johnson and Moreno play at that Hoops Summit this weekend in Portland. Wonder if we'll have a staff member there? There's probably a few dudes on that World team that would be awesome additions.

There's still 12 days left for players to enter the portal and guys will be pulling out of the draft for the next several weeks. If Pope wants another guard, he'll get one. Wilkerson would be great, but it's not like it'd be a terrible whiff if we miss. Doesn't Indiana have like 3 total players right now?

If this Euro league kid is playing in the Hoops Summit, you have to imagine the coaching staff is already at least somewhat aware of him…
