UK express interest in Tulane 6-8 guard, see him as intriguing prospect
- Thread starter chasingwildcat
- Start date
I like this guy and Freeman from D2 for long term investment.
Holy puck that looks amazing for our system.
Physical dude can shoot
Could be in rotation in year 2 and solid starter in year 3
Like that he can play the 3 or 4, athletic, can shoot really well, drive it and score, 6-8 height, jumps well and will have three years. Can see why he is an intriguing prospect.
I always wanted a team with five 6'8" starters that could all drive, shoot, rebound. Ya'll let me know when we can make that happen.
He could have nba prospect in the future if he is developed in a good system
He looks like one of the better options at the 3 or small ball 4.
Yep I’d be all over this guy in a totally heterosexual way
And not a one of them can guard the jitterbug UT/MSt. type PGs. Would drive me crazy.
Love all of those guys. A lot of flexibility in that list! Add the C from SDSU or the C from FSU and I would be a happy portal fan.
So you mean an athlete with actual basketball skills also? We don’t have to choose one or the other? He’s the kind of player that even when shot isn’t falling can contribute in many other ways we have had too many one dimensional guys over the years but someone like this can be a complete player.
yeah, if you could get those 2 guys as the SG/SF additions, I'd take both.
The thing that made this team better than the sum of the parts was their willingness to accept a role that may not be playing 30-35 min per game. Thus, we had playing time to attract guys like Freeman from LMU or Eaglestaff, who could go to other programs and get more PT even if they may not play for a team who can compete for a championship. So, when these kids start signing, we may not get everyone we want, even if the money is there to pay them.
Would be an interesting add. Would love to add someone to be in the Liggins type role. "just go guard someone and take him out of the game" type defender, who doesn't hurt you on offense either.
Also, PLEASE NO Eaglestaff!!!

Yeah but Calipari spent years collecting the best athletes that didn’t fit, now the best player may not be the best fit so recruiting looks to be way more strategic and we are better for it
Fit and visionary is important
Pope investigates Oweh, no one thought Oweh could be top scoring option for this team, most thought Oweh was just defensive guy
I think Coach Pope and stafff know what they need for winning basketball.. Been proven this year on a VERY short turnaround..And not a one of them can guard the jitterbug UT/MSt. type PGs. Would drive me crazy.
I’m not knocking Daimon Collins at all because he was off the charts athletically but when he came in the game it felt like he had no role and very few skills. I don’t think we will see players like that anymore, everyone brought in will be for to play to strengths and not miss a beat. Collins is just 1 there could be 20 examples in his place. Even players like Grady and Fredrick were one dimensional. When I saw Brea I thought Grady but then it’s like oh wait this dude can do other things as well such a good feeling.
I’m gonna call my shot here from the quotes I think we end up getting this guy
If I had to chose only one of them, I would take Freeman. I could be very wrong, so let's get both and find out which one gets the starting job.
Think these depth guys are really hard to pursue aggressively at this point in the portal for rosters like UK with holdovers yet needing a couple bonafide stud starters.
hope he is much better than lIvingston
that guy was waaay over rated
REALLY like the tape. Super athletic, long wing. Should be a + defender. Finishes at the rim at a high level. ~40% shooter from 3. Sky high potential.
1. I'd be all of for signing this kid....9 pts a game, 48%FG, 41%3pt...but 1.4 steals and 4.8 reb....he's got some defensive chops from those numbers and efficient shooter.
2. But my question is.....he looks like a SF all the way to me...which is great. But how is the roster playing out
PG: Portal/Acaden Lewis..I hope
SG: Is Oweh moving to SG or staying as more SF...I get they are interchangeable...is Jasper a SG and depth to Oweh?
SF: Kam Williams to me is a SF (not a PF)....then is Oweh/Chandler/Noah.....that is a bit of a logjam on the wings

I'll take a team full of guys with those skills. We're getting there.
How do some you know this long term investment guy? I don’t know either way. Pope’s eye for the portal seems to be legit. He could be starter and make a sophomore jump from 9 points a game to 12.
