What surprising names will we see? Trilly says…
- Thread starter BassProCat
- Start date
Some kid named Cooper. But he's young.
So we have about 36.5 hours left for portal if it goes through April 22nd. Do we see any last minute big names going into the portal in that period? I do not think so. We might see some guys that would be back up positions. We will either sign a guy or two currently there or Pope will wait till after NBA draft deadline to withdrawal on May 28th.
I got a feeling right now that it might be closer to May 28th than anything right now. Unless one of the guys Pope wants put pressure on Pope to pull the trigger or he will move on.

You might see some that are testing the NBA and hired a NCAA certified agent.
My understanding is if they go back to college and never entered the portal they got to go back to the original school. If I'm wrong let me know.

Freshman Ivan Renko just entered. Originally a high 4 star recruit. He redshirted this year due to a knee injury. He’s pretty close to making a full recovery.
Is he really that good? Serious question. Live in Louisville and they act like he's the savior of that program
Depends on what you mean by "that good" I guess. Probably not an all conference type, but he'd probably scrap for a starting PF role on most high major teams. Would fit UK's offense pretty well actually because he has been formidable from 3 and good in transition for a big. I do like his energy. Strongly doubt UK has any interest regardless, but UL fans keep waiting for confirmation he's returning...
The problem with leaving now is most teams have likely spent most of their portal budget. Would be a dicey move....
My surprise player for 25 26 is Kam Williams. Potentially a Dominique Wilkins clone.
Dave might be over his daily Shasta limit
Thanks for your input. I like his size, energy, and how he runs the floor. I just didn't witness him dominate the glass or take his man off the dribble to score. But your assessment seems correct and might be ULs glue guy. Im surprised he hasn't announced his return yet
Kind of hope we don't see much.. because at this point, only our top25 competition really stands to get better, by adding guys from places like Wichita St and St. Mary's. Kentucky is more or less done, but there's a lot of schools (Like Duke), who could stand to bolster their lineups
Surely we've got some silent verbals out there. 
If he heals fully in time for this season then we really are gonna be a defensive juggernaut imo.
Potentially a Dominique Wilkins clone ? Uh, if he doesn't have Nique's hops now, he never will have them. Elite athleticism and 45 inch verticals are not something you can obtain later in life. You are either born with it, or you don't have it.
Or, you know, the fact that one was a 6’0 PG and the other is a 6’8 SF?
They’re about as alike as Danny Devito and Arnold Schwarzenegger in Twins.
What in the wide world of sports? Dominique clone? I haven't seen a ton of Kam Williams film, but in no second have I seen a moment where that comparison makes any sense. Dominique Wilkins? Freakish athleticism is not what I think when I see Kam Williams play.
I agree Dave he could be a surprise. Idk about the Dominique comparison but maybe you saw something others haven’t
It’s finally happening!Braden Smith to Kentucky confirmed!
@KentuckyCat420 - you may want to re-read Dave's post... he wasn't comparing Williams to Dominique HAWKINS but Dominique WILKINS
He's a career 10 ppg and 6 rpg guy. Career 30% shooter from 3. He ain't the differe4nce maker
Think you are thinking of Dom Hawkins. Dom Wilkins the Atlanta Hawks superstar that was 6,7" forward at the time of all the greats like Bird, Magic and such.
Comparing Kam Williams to The Human Highlight Film Dominique Wilkins. That's quite a statement. Sure hope you're right.
