My first thoughts. Then after I thought about it I like him being a kid while he can. Most every player is all about money. Maybe he’s more of a normal guy that just loves the sport and wants to compete no matter what. I think he’s the next big thing honestly mainly because of his mindset. You can tell he loves contact. Pope needs to land this kid. I think he’s a bigger difference maker than Pooper Flag.He a broken bone from it costing him millions. His agent must be crazy
Preposterous. They would've alluded to that in every single damn broadcast if so.Didn't Willie Cauley-Stein play football?

Exactly. Not real smart. This guy bugs me for some reason. I know all the reasons he is scouting out his options. This NIL eraHe a broken bone from it costing him millions. His agent must be crazy
Sleepers are predicting Stokes ends up a USC.
There wrong more than right. He could ,but they don't know there guessingSleepers are predicting Stokes ends up a USC.
I hope you're right because they didn't have us landing any of our top targets.There

Yep was a WR too. A 7 ft WR with willies athleticism lucky QBDidn't Willie Cauley-Stein play football?
Those two are beyond clueless.Sleepers are predicting Stokes ends up a USC.
Isn't that the truth. That's the place for idiotic hot takes. I tried to watch a couple of videos and I couldn't do it. I don't give them clicks. The white guy is the worst.Those two are beyond clueless.
I hope we get Stokes but……your last statement is preposterous.My first thoughts. Then after I thought about it I like him being a kid while he can. Most every player is all about money.

How? I think he’s better than Flag? Not really that crazy of a statement. I’m not gonna buy into the hype just because ESPN and anything else. I remember him losing to Amari Williams Andrew Carr and a little bit of a stripped ball from Oweh just for ESPN to ignore UK even won the game. I remember the whole postgame show was Cooper Flag and his stat line. Not that we won. Not that he made several critical mistakes during crunch time. Not that he had a chance to win the game and he just dribbled the ball out of bounds. I seen how great he was everywhere and I’m sorry I see it for what it is and not what the hype machine says.I hope we get Stokes but……your last statement is preposterous.
We’ll see. I can’t stand espn, Duke, or Cooper Flagg , but he was labeled as a “generational “ player long before he committed to duke . I hope we get Stokes but I believe you are overhyping him by quite a bit .How? I think he’s better than Flag? Not really that crazy of a statement.

Stokes is the number one player in his class by a pretty good gap. So how is it crazy to say I think he’s better than flag. I think he has all the skills but take that out of the conversation… his mentality is what sets him apart just like I say Jordan over LeBron because of mentality.
It’s not like im saying a random guy is better than Flagg. Stokes is a mini LeBron. He may not have the hype like cooper. But also not many whites come through like Flagg so they have to get their money while they can. I’m sorry I just seen him get bullied all season and never really do much. The ACC was terrible! He got praised all season.
Flagg is good like really good. Number one draft pick good but I also think Stokes is.
Also maybe Cooper has a better career and more upside but I’m talking about their one season in college as a freshman because that’s all we will get from both. I think as a freshman Stokes will be more college ready. I could be wrong. I don’t see him dribbling the ball out of bounds with a chance to win the game. I see him going up to dunk on somebody and getting a foul. Not spinning away from contact and getting stripped or falling down.We’ll see. I can’t stand espn, Duke, or Cooper Flagg , but he was labeled as a “generational “ player long before he committed to duke .

That’s definitely a “hot take”. Flagg had a pretty decent year.Also maybe Cooper has a better career and more upside but I’m talking about their one season in college as a freshman because that’s all we will get from both.

Let’s hope he doesn’t break his leg playing football then commits to the cats. I just don’t feel we really are in play for him honestly. I think Pope may go after the transfer portal a lot harder than he does the high school kids. Or maybe he isn’t able to close like many are saying. I’m still wanting him to get his big fish from high school he needs it.That’s definitely a “hot take”. Flagg had a pretty decent year.
Those two are beyond clueless.
