Personally, I just want the most talented roster possible. I don't care if the kid is from Kentucky, New Hampshire, or Newfoundland.
Reece Potter commits to UK
- Thread starter University-6
- Start date
Because the roster doesn’t need both. They need one. Oweh is option A, and its not close. Claude and Watkins from Florida state should only come into play if Oweh stays in the draft

Love taking him away from UNC.
Great depth/future rotation guy, and might get preseed into action if theres a rash of injury
Probably the sixth option in our frontcourt rotation, but he may be capable to be 4th frontcourt guy in other lesser P5 school, I will take it everyday
One just never knows. This kid may just push his way into 8-10 minutes this year. Or he may be just in a limited situational role. I love the daily competition. And you can't teach 7'1".
We were down to PG6 last year lol. Weirder stuff happens.
Does he want too much $$ or are they looking at someone better ?

Did not say why. Sounded like they knew they were behind others. Just my perception reading it.
lol. Watch it. Ole Rembrandt will get after you like ugly on an ape. There are only positives about the football program according to him.
Agreed. Winning is paramount. Winning with some local kids on the roster is value-added.
Man it sure does sweeten the pot that UNC was chasing him lol. Think a lot of the UNC fans are feeling like we were a year ago with our head coach .
Saw him play one game in MAC tourney. Thought he would make a decent backup especially next season if he red shirts.
Glad to get him.
Hoping I’m wrong but I have ptsd from Shadon Sharpe. Not betting 100% JQ ever suits up here.

HarryLove the pickup. The kid has no pressure to develop here, will compete against top-tier talent over multiple seasons, and he already calls Kentucky home.
It's hard to see this addition as anything other than a no-lose situation. At worst, he is a solid practice piece & frontcourt depth when called upon, and at best, he develops into a contributor.
Pope is getting it done!

I would doubt Pope would roll the dice on such a critical piece without doing all the require due diligence on JQ suiting up. Saw a recent updated report that he should be set for full contact in September. Fingers crossed.
I agree ... I hope you're wrong, too.
Question ... does a player receive NIL$$$ if they do not play ?? Just curious ...
Excellent question I would also like to know the answer too. My honest guess is yes they still get paid.
My understanding is yes they still get paid and performance based contracts aren't allowed at this time. Would think that changes in the future at some point so schools have some protection.
I’m behind a little and not familiar with this guy. Is he pretty good or end of the bench type guy?? I’m assuming pretty good if he’s a possible Oweh backup.
Cal sucked at coaching but at least he could recruit. Hubert sucks at both. Too bad for the Cheats.
Could this spell the end of the "grew up a huge fan" jinx?
Yeah your spot on with that take for sure. They are hosed all the way around .
As your 13th man, this is just such a ridiculous get. He's at best our 3rd center. Maybe 4th depending on where Moreno is at as a freshman.
He knew that coming in. He chose Kentucky over bigger roles and more money from Washington and UNC. He's the type of kid that stays for the rest of his career.
He doesn't transfer to Ole Miss to get more NIL. I'm not mad at Perry.
But the "allure" to some of these Kentucky kids is the idea that they'll stay here for multiple years and develop. Perry didn't love Kentucky basketball enough to do it. I get it. This kid does.

Think they said he was 6-6 as a sophomore? Had a fast growth spurt so he is said to still be learning to play like a 7-1 player. Why he has the shooting skill and moves pretty well for a guy that size. Seems like a ton of upside being in our program.
Welcome to the team Reece. Take advantage of all the resources that UK has to offer. Get as strong as you can live in the weight room and gym.
Two big reasons why that won't happen.
1. Cal isn't here
2. Sharpe NEVER played. Thus he kept the illusion intact. JQ has already played and got hurt. He needs to bring up his draft status.
