Pope's Transfer Portal

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Peavy just committed to GTown.

Cade Tyson has an OV set up with Tennessee.

Want nothing to do with Ethan Morton from Purdue. When a NC participant improved because they cut his minutes and were using him in Tournament to give fouls-that literally was his role-the University of Kentucky doesn't need to venture to that.

I have 4 I have narrowed in on that I think pope can atleast have a chance at. Javon small, darlingstone Dubar, and the Drexel guy, and Blackmon

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Well there’s my answer

He better go and get the best of the best.
He needs a really good physical guard that can score off the dribble and shoot. Also guard the ball! On ball defense needs a major upgrade.
Ms.st. kid forget his name. Or meechi Johnson.
Guys that are strong with the ball and can take there guy and beat them!

Respectfully ... I think any list of "what Coach Pope needs" has to include a lock-down wing defender. Just MHO, of course.
Go 'Cats ! ! !

Well there’s my answer

Now we're talking. This is who you go after in the Portal/recruit. This would be an elite get for UK.

Another good player Kentucky reached out to

how bout Thierro

Can't shoot

JMO, everybody on BYU's roster is a bench level player. We don't need to rely on them for starters.

They we ranked as high or higher than all ccc's 5 stars.
They are basketball players not just athletes, something the fans haven't seen outside of Sheppard very often

Robinson would start at a lot of schools. He isn’t a bench level player, he is a major contributor

Jevon Porter 6’11 C in the portal. 62 made 3’s in two seasons at Pepperdine. From Columbia, MO. Could be worth pursuing.

Michael porters brother I think

If we could somehow get Sheppard back, I would feel a whole lot better about Year 1. He is the perfect PG for Pope’s system. He will be a NPOY candidate next season.

Then fill in the blanks with BYU transfers and Portal players. Perry might be the only Freshman we have next season.

The BYU people seem split on what the Chandler kid will do, he would be another freshman technically if he came here

I’d take me over Ethan Morton. Good god.

Same, I know you can knock down corner 3s. I wouldn’t mind mason Gillis though

 

[BigBlueManSouthCentralKY]

That’s why I’m hoping they go after the guy from Drexel Williams, or there is a reality where z comes back(1 percent chance that happens). But waterman is a really good shooter and decent at the other stuff

Yes, Hall for the one and Waterman at 6-10 for the 4. Chandler also would be a great get.

Yeah he is a real deal type player.Did really well last season against highly rated schools.

 

[BigBlueManSouthCentralKY]

Good, just so we at least pursue Tyson.

 

[Slowwalker]

Can't shoot

33% from 3 is “can’t shoot?”

 

[bucsrule8872]

33% from 3 is “can’t shoot?”

Exactly.

For a 5 man, 33% is a pretty decent clip.

Reed Sheppard is not coming back. How do I know? Because Reed and his family are intelligent. This is business, and not about the friendship.

 

[Slowwalker]

Exactly.

Some of our “fans” are clueless.
