USC's Yates Enters Portal Officially
- Thread starter Tampa_cat54_rivals112262
- Start date
This kid is Brea+.
This whole portal season, it's felt like we're holding back on the money. And if we are, it's because (at least logically speaking), the staff knows they have an ACE up their sleeve.
This has to be the Ace. This dude is an elite shooter. As a freshman. He is EXACTLY what we need.
If he wants to be at Washington, we've got to make the money enough that he doesn't care about whatever Washington means to him.

It’s the openness, the vastness, the shifting landscapes from deserts to evergreens to “painted” towers and arches to crystal clear lakes and streams to wheat fields, the towering mountains in all directions, the sapphire skies, the endless recreation, the endless sunshine, and the way most of it has remained pristine.
Spoken like someone truly unexposed. You do realize that outside of So Cal and a few cities like Phoenix and Denver, most of the west is just as conservative or more than Kentucky. I challenge you to go drive from Northern Idaho to Southern Arizona and come back and tell me that Kentucky is just as good. Of course, that would require leaving your little comfort zone bubble of isolation and ignorance so I won’t hold my breath.
The west is way more beautiful but living there would suck because of the policies they have put in place. No thanks.
Or if you can't figure which bathroom you actually need to go in..
Agreed. Additionally I pretty much tell every coming of age kid that I’ve known to leave home and go somewhere unfamiliar to learn to grow. Plus, these kids are catered to in every way, from travel to food to girls to entertainment so they don’t have to deal with the day to day drudgery of the average folk. That said, Kentucky’s climate sucks and can suck the life out of everything and everyone. Kentucky isn’t that pretty either compared to places like the Pacific Northwest or Southern California or the Sonoran Desert.
Where is there proof that this is happening, and also why would Quincy Pondexter go back to Washington when the new coach did not want him on his new staff last year. He's got a job right now.
I appreciate you as much as any poster on here, but you’re thinking too small. People hear west and think L.A and Portland. Don’t forget about Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Arizona even. The west has something for everyone.
Haha, okay. My kids grew up in Florida and now live in Washington state. They absolutely love it out there and would never move back. They love to taunt us with articles on the stuff DeSantis and other leaders are doing. We love visiting them and hiking all over. Next month we're going to hike the Narrows in Zion national park, can't wait.
Absolutely. In reality, it's best to not consider Noah, Chandler, Perry as part of an 8 man rotation. They're there if u need them for additional depth but serve as solid practice pieces who are trying to develop.
I think he would pair well with Oweh and Lowe. Those are two guys that are looking to drive and Yates is the type of player that will help stretch the floor to create that space/catch the kick out.
Some people have been saying the backcourt is done after Lowe but I think we need one more elite shooter. This guy fits and would wrap up the backcourt nicely.

You should move their then. I think Desantis is doing just fine without you
Lol, okay. Do you think I give a damn what you think?
Probably better to have low expectations on getting this kid since so many on here will have a real or fake meltdown if he goes elsewhere. We already have JJ, Oweh, Chandler, and Williams getting a lot of 2g and sf minutes, I wonder how this kid feels about that when looking at our roster.
Good for you, I would not live in Washington State if they payed me.
Trilly said the rumor he heard before Yates went into the portal was that he’d be going back to Washington
Nobody cares your kids moved west and became liberal idiots too
Yeah I get excited about a player for 10 minutes and hear he will go somewhere else. It gets old.
I am confused about this guy did we even contact him? Just rumors he may have been the person MJ talked about?
Do we have confirmation he reached out to Kentucky or anything? Or is this just wishful thinking again?
Just saw posted an hour ago on FB that Yates is now following all our coaches and some players
As soon as I posted says now not available

Well to be fair our Insiders have fallen flat on their faces all portal season. I’ll have to see a lot more before I get my hopes up.
Fwiw both of our portal commits are from the Houston Hoops AAU team. That’s also where Yates played
Shouldn't you be out keying a Tesla?
Dude, you are responding so much that you are missing a key time slot on fox and/or a hate radio broadcast. You are missing key talking points
The land of fruits and nuts
I personally think Bidunga is a difference maker at the 5 and no idea why we don’t pursue him.
