It has gotten out of hand admittedly. However, something about recruiting within a 3 month period with large sums of money is very exciting.
Portal update today
- Thread starter DaDirtyLeb69
- Start date
Some of these guys look good for a backup but not an SEC starter. Hopkins would be a hell yeah but isn’t he injury prone , don’t want to get a guy with a glass body after this season
It’s certainly full of action.
Perhaps my biggest beef with it is we were trying to get away from the one and done landscape, and get back to player development and actually building a team and a system. I fear we’ve simply inherited a new version of a one and done system that will continue to require the roster to be largely overhauled and reloaded every year.
Yeah, it's akin to the free agency seasons in pro sports. Actually just like it except maybe on steroids since there is such a large portal. I expect the Dodgers to recruit out of the portal before it's over.
Not knowing anything about you, why should the average fan believe what you say, anymore than what someone else says. You have connections?
Dang, every player mentioned in the portal someone thinks we need or want. The portal info usually is about the player's offensive stats. We NEED Defense. If a really good kid is in the portal it is not because they want more playing time, they want more money. We can't buy them all.
see, this is what I'm talking about ..... and something I really like right here. ^^^^
I've been all in on OBI from the get go.

Yes but this is a message board, we can talk about players who are interesting because we have no impact on if Kentucky gets them or not.
Not sure if talked about in thread but apparently we are looking at a Freshman from LMU who is off the charts...sounds like he went through an AD growth spurt and slipped under the radar.
19/9 50/48 as a Freshman
This according to Matt Jones.

Arkansas Pine Bluff Doctor Bradley could be a guy that adds some athleticism and can get his own shot. Doubt we will get involved but wouldn’t be a bad door to knock on
He's a good player for sure. Probably the most upside on his team as far as a prospect, but he wasn't even the best player on his team. They have a sophomore guard that won the SAC POY and DPOY. Averaged 20pts and 3ast a game while having shooting splits of 45/41/85
Ok NCAA… Enes Kanter is on line 1.
I thought the same thing, lol
Idk what he knows but Evan Turner commented on the Josh dix portal thing and said he is going to Kentucky. So does Evan Turner know something
Great Osobor was coming to Kentucky until he wasn't. These kids could be leaning one way in the beginning, but it's still so early and money talks. Not saying he isn't coming, I'm just skeptical of anything this certain this early.
Could be a guess, could be trolling. Could be a connection he knows about
Very interesting if true. So it possibly looks like they’re out for Ament.
Looking at film of this guy and taking a closer look at the stats, I have to think he will be one of the better shoot/handle/pass SG/SF in the portal. He can handle the ball a lot better, pass better, and finish from 2 better than Brea and Robinson. I just wish he had put up more stats on defense. Then again, it’s Iowa, where the law is that only the football team can play defense and only the basketball team can play offense.
Gabe Dynes to the portal.
7’3 Kentucky boy. 3 blocks per game!
Doesn’t score much, but he would be a nice 3rd string Center/14th-15th scholarship guy.
Two years of eligibility left.

He not come here to be 3rd string center
He will go to other P5 schools to be the second or even first string center
Sounds like the kid from Wyoming ( Agbim) his teammate Dontaie Allen is recruiting him hard to come play for UK. That’s awesome Allen is still got so much love for UK.
I watched Mason Falslev put up 17 and 10, with 3 assists and 2 steals against UCLA last night. He is exactly what Kentucky needs. Extremely tough, physical guard, who can shoot, pass, and play defense. And he can rebound too if you’re into that kind of thing. Not his best game last night, but if you were watching you saw his insane activity level on both sides of the ball.
Thank you. Just curious are you getting any NIL?
Did Jai Lucas recruit him while at UK? Is that the possible connection there?
So are you saying Pope should only take the players the boosters are willing to pay for and not the players he wants to best fit his system?
Now Calipari is going fully exotic. Lebanese basketball players that’s a first ….playing in Lithuanian league, he must be good…. Looks like a stretch 4 ….
Owen Freeman , 6’10 that can run, good finisher around the rim with both hands, passing is decent. He will be a nice replacement for Carr at 4 and fit in Pope”s system.
Slow feet and non shooter from range. We should be able to get better.
