Probably, but don't we prefer Pierre or Yates?? Don't think it'd be realistic to get one of them and this guy, so feel like any meltdown over this guy specifically doesn't make any sense to me. If you're gonna be upset wait until we strike out on those 2 guys. Makes more sense imo

The problem is that we're running out of guys to land. That's my opinion. I'm seeing a lot of "well we didn't want him" and "he wanted more money" excuses. Neither of which are likely true.

Booker you love cal so much you should have left with him and noci guy or girl when it comes to off season stuff you know little to nothing. Booker you want pope to recruit like cal and pope is a different type of coach.

See posts like this are the problem. People here should know I was anything but a Cal fan but if you question anything you must be a Cal slurper. This board is getting old.

That's fair, but I think at this point from the standpoint of Riley and guys we're recruiting for a similar position I don't really think that's true. There's two legitimate options better than him at this point plus whatever else we don't know (with how little real information we actually get) and potential additional entries.

Doesn't seem unreasonable to think the staff is higher on Pierre or Yates, so like I said I'd almost be MORE worried if we got a sudden commitment from Riley because that would signify we almost certainly struck out on those two guys.

Who is crying?
You and Nochi "Those are all plausible scenarios, but at some point surely you see a pattern emerging that isn't favorable to UK?"

The staff likely wants one more guard of the 3 I mentioned, pout if we lose the other 2. There is no "pattern emerging" unless you just are expecting a 36 man roster. UK having a zoom with a guy doesn't mean they wanted them to commit. They have probably lost like 3-4 guys they would have accepted.

we have enough top 35 players out of high school and top 26 transfer portal players that the only way thing now concerning to me would be if we cant get a good PF. I can see wings being put off not wanting to compete with Johnson, Oweh, Chandler and Kam Williams.

Damn it , Casey needs to learn to stop exaggerating things, we contacted him, we did not "heavily Target " him. I think its more than obvious our "heavy target" are Yates and Pierre.

Casey's wording will only feed into the agenda folks to say we missed on another player
Gotta be sensational to get those Elon-bucks

Having a zoom also doesn't mean they didn't want them. Maybe if you considered that everyone here is just voicing their opinions, you wouldn't feel folks are "crying". There have been a number of players that A LOT of us here wanted out of this portal, who went elsewhere. And a lot of disappointment, as I'm sure the staff has also felt. You're getting all worked up because people don't buy into sheep-think.

We are losing people to land? The transfer portal don’t close for another two weeks. There is literally thousands of players still in there. It’s a bunch of fear mongering to get people against pope or the ad. Go protest if you wanna get rid of the ad outside Kentucky’s campus.

Exactly, high level dudes like Darrion Williams are still entering the portal as we speak. And we have these chicken littles acting like the portal was fully raided last week.

We all have been disappointed to some extent, I had hopes for Yaxel. Not all of us are crying on message boards because the staff isn't recruiting and getting everyone we wanted and as fast as we want.

I still don't see why it is crying to have a basketball related conversation on a message. But I guess everyone has to have the same opinion and no other opinions allowed.

People are voicing their opinions, but you seem to have a difficult time accepting that. They're not "crying". This is crying. : 😭😭😭

What’s a realistic portal class you’d be happy with? Not being snarky just genuinely curious

You aren't even having conversations, all you do is go into threads and agree with negative sentiments that don't even make sense.
