Whose left in the portal, post draft, or Int'l that moves the needle for Kentucky?

Options are very limited unless a college coach surprisingly takes an NBA head coach position Any other star options besides listed below? Post Draft Milan Momcilovic Allen Graves - likely stays in draft or goes to LSU Tounde Yessoufou - likely stays in draft or goes to UCLA International Stefan Joksimovic - According to agent, won't have enough credits for college Marcio Santos - likely LSU - not considered a star but option that UK really liked Karim Lopez - stays in draft

Ryan Hampton reclass too. Most realistic options left are Milan and Hampton. Milan won't be deciding until after combine, and Hampton will probably decide after Peach Jam in July. We'll be waiting at least a few weeks, maybe until July. Either one of those say no, and this is likely the team we will be rolling with.

Some of those aren't "star" options. There's very few potential star options if 2-3 opt out of the NBA draft. beyond that, there are no stars available. Best alternative is gambling on an Euro to plan out - but that's legit talent gambling.

Here's a 6-6 wing.

I think he will fill the roster with Jelavic type Euro guys. The players will be talked up as great additions who fit the roster construction perfectly. Then they will be huge disappointments.

No one is coming in that matters imo hope I’m wrong. There are issues going on that are way worse than it looks on the surface

Not sure he’s really considering anyone right now but the draft

He is who I would go after. Offer him the starting spot and good money. He isn’t a superstar but a good player

Very Lamar Wilkersonish. Not as good from 3, but he can forsure shoot it at a high clip. Made 60 on 38% this year.

Rumors are that he wants to stay in the draft, even if he is a 2nd round pick. I think Jacob or Jack confirmed that, after they lost Stokes, UK reached out to his agent and make a "generational offer". Not sure what more we can do if that doesn't work.

Dennis Parker Jr would be a good addition at this point to push Kam at the three spot, but LSU has so many roster spots that they can probably guarantee a starter position!

That’s true, supposedly staying in if he’s top 40. Slight chance he comes back

UK isn't getting anyone outside of just a warm body. What we have now is essentially what we'll have in November.

That's the list.....BUT is there ANY evidence that MM has ANY interest in UK? We obviously would be far from the only school interested, and given the recent track record why would be optimistic? Just based on having some money to throw that maybe we don't even have? Other schools seem to have plenty of money, and apparently money has not been the reason we didn't get Wright, Freeman, Stokes, etc....

No, there’s not. And I’m not optimistic at all. It’s basically like hoping for a miracle, that’s where we’re at as a collective anyway, we need a miracle and probably multiple miracles.
