These rankings are subjective, but I took the top 100 per various sites, removed the ones already taken, grouped by position (I know some could be listed under multiple ones), and then ranked them.
Note you don't have to agree with my personal rankings. % shown is 3pt% unless stated "ft" after it. Also "r" is rebounds, "a" is assists, "s" is steals, "b" is blocks, "to" is turnovers, "m" is minutes, the first # is points. The PF and C spots look to be the thinnest.

AND I'm sure there are some missing from these lists.

Our former starting PG is the 5th best PG in the portal while his backup is gonna be a lottery pick.
That coach is gone, we've upgraded, stop beating the dead horse. BTW, that "backup" (assume you mean Reed) played more minutes than that starter. Quite a bit more the 2nd half of the season.

Most sites factor in years remaining when ranking players.
Seth Trimble is ranked 5th but there's a lot of guys under him who are better day 1.
ST has 3 yrs remaining though.

From what I saw and know. ....the best player at small Forward is ⭐Trey Townsend⭐from Oakland.
If we got him we would have somebody who has fight and grit and determination. I watched him against North Carolina State this dude is a legit player.
We absolutely should be after ⭐Trey Townsend.⭐
He is star player level.
He gives you great rebounding is the bonus part.
I don't run things though so I don't know.....

Five star freshmen and number one recruiting classes have worked so well for us, Lol Pope should have us number one in the country by day five right? 🙄 Google the dead period in recruiting when you get a chance.

Dumb post.

Now go create another account because you've already exceeded imbecile level 10/10 on the troll scale.

How does that reality make you feel?

You created an account, only to fail at your task of upsetting anyone here.

What a waste of effort.

I like Chucky Hepburn. If you are going to be putting together your first roster having some defensive dogs like this guy could really help you. Hepburn is a dog on defense.

That YOU know of. Williams from Drexel is a heavy UK lean. In solid with Osobor also. How about you remain patient and see how it all plays out before having a panic attack ? UK will get SEVERAL really good portal guys, it is still a LONG way to go, far from finished.

I have been a Kentucky fan since 2013. I just hate to see how far this program has fallen.

KU has one (1) visit scheduled and we've had a Coach for almost a week.

2013 seems random and recent. And if so, what would you even know of the BCG years? I smell a wolf in sheep's clothing. No self respecting Kentucky fan, regardless of when they joined the BBN, would ever call us KU.

Interesting that It seems that Aaron Bradshaw scared away the Ohio State, center Felix Okpara, who entered the transfer portal today.
