Portal update today
- Thread starter DaDirtyLeb69
- Start date
Just curious how do we know Pope is interested?
I expect some, maybe a lot of "School X is interested" is put out there by agents trying to create/increase interest and value in that player.
I am announcing that I will NOT be entering the portal. I will continue to provide my talents to Rupp Rafters.
Former cat Bryce Hopkins just entered the portal
Was worried about that. I know A Sea of Blue has thick wallets.
From a quick look, it looks like Dix from Iowa played against eleven P-5 NCAA Tournament, teams this season, he averaged 16.3ppg/ 50% FG/ 43% 3-PT% (on 5+ attempts per game).
Mckneely from Virginia and bol Bowen were 2 names Tipton edits mentioned with Kentucky
Looks like a kid that Coach Pitino would go after. With his Providence connections, maybe he already has him locked up.
Portal about to get crazy and I lowkey like it haha
Way more fun than high school recruiting

Miami is the school getting the buzz apparently
What an insane world college basketball has become, especially in places like Kentucky where people actually give a damn beyond March.
It's incredible that the Cats' fate for NEXT MARCH will be decided over the next several weeks in a series of bidding wars in which Miami or Southern Cal or St. John's or UConn or whoever has the deepest NIL pockets can be more appealing to a top prospect than the sport's oldest and most revered Blue Blood...

Ole Jai Lucas getting in the mix huh
100% agree. It's highly entertaining.
Slide him into the brea role. Get a PG.McKneely
I'm picturing Randolph and Mortymer yelling at Pope to
GET BACK IN THERE AND SIGN THEM ALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!
GET BACK IN THERE AND SIGN THEM ALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!
Ohhh I want Dix!
Edit: Ay wait just a minute...
Edit: Ay wait just a minute...
Truth be told, my agent said I should stay put. Something about lack of interest. IDK.
Don’t make them like that anymore. Those were the days!I'm picturing Randolph and Mortymer yelling at Pope to
GET BACK IN THERE AND SIGN THEM ALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!
15 scholarships need some DUDES, wonder if Pope will fill them all or have a tryout for a couple guys on campus etc. like to have at least 13 scholarship players
Agree. If not for being able to watch these players play against college competition. Every really good high school player looks amazing against regular high school players.
We won’t get better with the names mentioned in this thread as having interest from Kentucky.
I would like our frontcourt guys to be athletic physical
The only kid I’m really really wanting super bad is the Braden smith from Purdue. But apparently no one knows if he is actually going into the portal or if KY would even be in the mix. But the internet has me going from 6 to midnight just thinking about it. Boing!
Dont know if Bowen will start if he comes here
He has lots of potential
Tough, physical player
Exactly… we get a pretty good idea on how they can help the team.
All things being equal I would prefer guys with 2+ years of eligibility. But I’ll trust Pope to put together the team he wants to lead
I would too but a lot of these portal hoppers probably can’t be penciled in for more than one year anyway. Just find the best fit/talent I say
The simple truth is that Mark Pope isn't paying players out of his own paycheck to come and play basketball here. So you putting your trust in Pope to land players is foolhardy.
Bruh just log off and save everyone the headache
The simple truth is that Mark Pope and his staff are the ones who evaluate these players to determine whether they are the correct fit, assess value, etc prior to them coming and playing basketball here. So you distrusting Pope in which players to land is foolhardy.
Butters is a lil slow.
