I'm not sure if this has been mentioned as of yet but I find it interesting that he commits to Indiana and is talking about having a mentor there... if I'm not mistaken isn't his uncle a head coach here? I would think he'd want to be close to family that's if the money was similar.
Wilkerson to Indiana
- Thread starter Tampa_cat54_rivals112262
- Start date
Honestly, after hearing the kid say "I don't want to be just another guy at Kentucky..." I'm glad we didn't overspend. If he has that cuck mentality, he's not worth the overspend. He doesn't think he's good enough to stand out here. Why should we?
Thread has gotten really off topic and no one is shaming MeManBoy.
Dude bragged about knowing the agent. He sent out a Tweet saying he didn't see any way Lamar doesn't wind up a Cat. Said it's not done yet, but it's close. And then when he was wrong AGAIN, he pulled the whole "I NEVER MADE A PREDICTIOIN." But he was certainly ready to tell the world how great he was had Lamar come here.
That dude is a fake. A Joke. Let's please treat him as such and stop posting his garbage in here like any of it means anything.

Six of them are out of eligibility and you've already whiffed on Jaron Pierre. Terrence Brown has already committed to Utah which leaves you with PJ Haggerty, Markus Burton, and Nick Martinelli, none of which are in the portal. Better get another Keeneland visit lined up lol
We'll be just fine and you loosiers could have the 92 NBA east all-star team and still suck ***.
Speaking of Keeneland i'm very surprised he choose IUsed to be after all of the racist comments about that trip that are making the social media rounds. I guess its true what they that money fixes everything.

Pierre didn't even get a visit, how was that a whiff? Do you have something better to do than troll another fanbases message board while you root for a perpetual loser program?
Yeah.. I am not really scared of that dude. He looks like a janitor.
I loved getting drunk on a layover.
The spring week is it though. Big tailgate and sundresses. Other than that…you are right.
Conference player of the year and he’s a janitor? I wouldn’t say that. Going to be a fun game at Rupp. I’m hoping to get tickets. This is fun isn’t it?
I can’t wait for that game, we are gonna beat y’all down something fierce. Don’t forget we played Connerway in the tourney, he was solid. 12/4/4 but we won by 20.

Pope actually does have a blank check.
The main reason he has a blank check is because he can be trusted to not abuse it.
Never and I mean never trust a man with frosted tips who spells Marc with a "C".
He'll be gone after a year like the rest.Must not be super interested in winning
I used to travel for work and I loved me some French toast with a Bloody Mary double when I was going through Minneapolis. Always an early layover.
We lose a guy to Indiana because regardless of the players talent level, all kids don't fit UK and regardless of the talent level UK is not a fit for every kid. We look at Kentucky basketball way differently than kids not tied to UK. The number one kid tis year chose Duke. Duke may have been a better fit for him rather than UK or any other school that recruited Wilson. After Wilson chose Dukee we have fans calling him names, stating what a jerk he was using us to increass his NIL. There is no place in sports to trash a kid for a decision on where he chooses to play ball. I don't understand why he is a darling if he chooses us but a dirtbag if he chooses any other school. We have no idea how much other schools are offering kids in NIL and actually we hve zero idea how much we are offering kids. I'll bet we have not gotten kids this year that went to a school that actually gave them less. They make these decisions based on location, relationships with other kids on the team, maybe preceive the coach were they choose will develop them better, etc.....
Do we honestly have a clue what Lanier was offered or what TN paid for his service. I doubt TN had as much money as we did for basketball. I bet he went to TN because he was from that state. Same thing most likely happened with the point guard from Maryland. I read he was from a small town 45 minutes from Knoxville with his family members being big TN fans. Money can't buy every kid.
I don't know about Lanier.
Wilkerson is from Arkansas. And that was the early "front runner." If we're talking someone got a discount because of location, where he grew up--surely it would have been Arkansas.
There are also reports UT flew in last minute to up the offer AND hire a coach/mentor that Wilkerson wanted on staff.
I agree with the premise. Some kids don't have to have the maximum top dollar they can get.
I interpreted that as him saying he wasn't interested in being a part of something bigger than him. He wants to be THE MAN by annointment.
I'm amazed at how misguided people here took that quote. He was referring to the long line of top players that have funneled through UK the last 15 or so years. Coming to UK, he'd just be another guy in that long list. IU has had some sporadic talent but overall IU has been very stagnant on the national stage. Therefore at IU, he could make a bigger footprint than he could at UK. It has nothing to do with being "the guy" this year, or not being a team player.
Right.
He can't go o Kentucky and do it, because he's not better than everyone on the team. At Indiana, he is.
He doesn't have the stones to come here and prove himself. He wants to go somewhere that makes it easy for him.
Have you noticed the uptick in clowns and their silly emoticons of late? Now that Pope is building a contender they're all hot and bothered.
You have no clue what you're talking about. If you think that dude is all about UK's history, lol.....
Even if we take your version, it's loser thinking by Wilkerson.
He's admitting he's not confident that he's good enough to matter at Kentucky. And he knows it will be easier at Indiana. If he's not confident in his abilities, I'm not either.
To all the IUsedtobe lurkers, **** you and ya momma. You are still Indiana, we are still Kentucky.
There must be some mistake.
This is no place for measured, reasonable takes.
Rabble rousing, hyperbole, and indictment are the rules of the road.
Now get back in there and call somebody a dumb ***.
I get how it can be taken both ways as he wasn’t really specific, but you don’t know what he meant any more than me or the next poster here. In reality, the truth is probably money or something unmentioned. Either way, what he said can be interpreted either way, or both.
Exactly! This kid is a chucker. Not a complete player by any stretch. I’d rather take our chances with Chandler
If we want to advance past sweet 16, we need someone with more talent than Chandler. Chandler will be the weak link on 2025 - 2026 starters if infact he starts.
I think we need another shooter because you can't have enough in my opinion. Chandler has the ability to potentially be a beast here before he's done. Can't predict the future but he wasn't a top 35 guy for nothing.
