Can he lock up opposing PGs?
I mean, there at least one in the portal who we know is a lock-down defender...

Ohhh yeah …I remember you saying you might know something on this situation , right?
Yes, I said that. I just talked to someone about this minutes ago and they said it’s not as likely as they were told earlier. Apparently it was widely known he was entering well before they lost. We are still a player, but there are a host of others. First report was very good. Down graded a bit it seems. Upsetting.

I mentioned on another thread that I saw where they said he was the reason that Maryland did what they did this year. They said he played well beyond his years. And someone posted when he entered the portal he became the number one portal guy and I think Dent was number two.

This guy is an effing dude. I don't care if he's originally from TN. We're Kentucky! If this is the guy we want, then this is the guy we need to go all in on. A program like ours should be able to beat UT for recruits/transfers, even if the recruits come from TN. Tennessee simply isn't Kentucky. And it never will be.

Sad thing is, most of these kids don’t care about tradition anymore.

He can play for sure, but wouldn't you rather your guards be a little taller? Especially for defensive purposes.

I know Matt jones is a touchy subject on the board and doesn’t have a good track record of predictions but….could this be the big 10 guard in the sweet 16 he has been talking about last week? I know most were thinking smith but could it be this dude?

According to the Maryland roster, Gillespie is from Greenville, TN... about an hour from Knoxville.
45 minute drive down I-81 / I-40. Family, I'm sure will have a favorite since his dad was reported to be a huge Tennessee fan. If we don't get the kid, Coach Pope should not be judged harshly because it is hard to compete with family wishes.
