Good news is, I think we have a coach that dreams big too!Yeah, I've had similar thoughts. It's probably for the best if the overall amount is unknown to the public. All I can do at this point is one of Wells, Richmond, Christie, or Lanier decide to stay in college and come to UK along with Robinson. That's a big ask but I'm dreaming big.
I think everyone coming in realizes they are going to have to fight their way to start. I don't think Pope is pitching to them that they will be starters but promising that the best player will play.
Me too but I don't like Richmond to much, I know he's really good offensively and defensively but although he's shown he can be a deadly shooter he's coming off a year where he shot 27% and his turnovers are a bit too high for meYeah, I've had similar thoughts.

You remember Mr Reeves? This guy is the one player who was more efficient offensively last year. He’d be an absolute monster get.
I can definitely see where there turnover and shooting issues are there, but he's an elite talent who can be a capable shooter, a great defender, and a willing passer. If Mark Pope decides to press, then I think someone like Richmond would be deadly. I'd take the other options I mentioned over him, but I wouldn't be unhappy with him. Lanier and Christie would be my first options.
This guy....
Just curious, who do you think that will be? Butler? Brea? Kriisa? I don't see Brea or Kriisa. I think Brea would be fine coming off the bench. Historically he's done that anyway. From what I've heard, Kriisa just wants to win. I can see Butler because it seems like he was told he'll start by what his father said, but then again I also don't think Lanier would start at PG. He'd be off ball imo.
Yeah I think the staff was taking the “1 perceived top 10 portal guy isn’t worth the cost of 3 20-60 guys. Seems they were more concerned with building an entire roster of capable players and not just 2 “stars”
You're probably right if I'm being entirely honest with myself. Just hoping for a bit more.
I agree with this although I think you could bring in a project as well. Maybe the 7’ that was going to Baylor
Oweh or one of the other guards can’t be to happy with 2 clear starters coming in if they did. I still don’t believe Kentucky really has a shot at all with Lanier and it’s just show from him. Robinson and a backup 4 will be our last adds and I’m sticking to that until something else changes
No, apologies you know way more than I do for sure, I know a sum total of zero, wasn’t an attack, I like your posts and appreciate when you do them. That video just wasn’t great to me, but I trust you way more than anything my dumbass says on here. Appreciate the posts Dave and thank you for doing them
The thing about oweh to me is that he is the perfect 6th man for next years team, and I think he thrive in that role
Yeah, if Lanier does go to UT we have not one but two guys like Butler and Oweh to guard him. So happy to have three of the very best defenders together on this team. A lot of different kind of pieces Pope is constructing that will help us be much better prepared starting game one instead of hoping it all comes together at the end of the year.
To be honest, I don't see it happening either, but at least it's worth the try
Whew. I was thinking about it, too. Now that you’re doing it…. I’m off the hook! Thanks
Here’s to Coach Boom for creating this unique type of excitement.
Reeves was really our only reliable great player last year. Reed and Dilly could be superstars, but also completely disappear as well.
I don’t know about all that, we all have no idea but if we get both we will be very good.
