Kentucky Recruiting Open Thread

[GOCAT15]

I'm sure it would cause me to miss on recruits, but my motto would be that if you don't want to surround yourself with great players that will only make you better and you are scared of competition than go to a team where you will be "the man".

Some kids are like that and some want the challenge because we all know their goal isn't to get a degree but to get drafted.

That's a nice thought, but Lively will be at Duke and Bona will be at UCLA and will have plenty of great players around them.

Not concerned about Bona. The transfer portal will have plenty of options for big men.

I'm really scratching my head, I don't understand these five star Gen Z big men! If the goal is to get to the league, why are they not paying attention to all our big men that are thriving in the NBA?! Now that Coach Howard is at Michigan ( boy did he make a deep run with that program quickly!), I wouldn't be mad if at times it was between us and Michigan (coach played the position, had a long NBA career and was an assistant coach before returning to Michigan), but this is ridiculous!

This isn’t entirely accurate.

Betcha Coach Cronin had Johnny talk to him

I meant at Bona's position, they are a guard heavy team and he will be the only true center on UCLA's team next year and I'm sure Cronin used that as a selling point.

No more Bona talk......

Let's hopefully get this Cason Wallace commitment on Sunday and see what happens.

Robert Dillingham in '23 will be committing soon too

[DA#23]

Hopefully get a commitment from Cason Wallace this evening. He’s supposed to announce around 9pm.

Eastern standard time, I presume?

I saw one "article" suggest central time. That would make sense as he's from Texas. I don't know for sure.

Wallace is a Cat!

[Lighthouse]

Another great guard. Are there any other Bigs we're after?

We’ll deal with that through the transfer portal. No remaining HS options at this time.

Yup, and I don't know of any potential reclasses to keep an eye on.

As expected, Shaedon Sharpe is enrolling in January and redshirting.
