"Who's Coming to Kentucky?" Thread (UPDATE: Kentucky Lands Jaxson Robinson!)

[teamchemistry15]

Big Z is meeting with Pope in the morning to discuss the possibility of returning.

Weirdly enough, Joey Hart fits what Pope wants to do more than any other player we have not named Reed or Z ...

I'm not sure we could handle it if we had a situation where Perry, Reed, and Hart were on the floor at the same time.

Big Z is meeting with Pope in the morning to discuss the possibility of returning.

The person I think Z is, I believe that’’s best for him.

Pope says he's been in contact with all current players and in the portal.

He's interested only if they really want to be here..

[teamchemistry15]

Thiero apparently put up an Instagram story showing that he's back on campus. If Pope gets Reed, Z, and Thiero to return he's going to absolutely crush it at UK. Even two of the three.

Again, this is a repeat, Kentucky is still Kentucky regardless of the last 6-9 years. There was a transfer on Purdue's team, Lance Jones. They asked where he wanted to go and his answer was “Kentucky”, but he wasn’t recruited. The program is still the program.

I hope so. I don’t think they’ll ever regret it.

Z put up pictures of him and Burks in the gym. It can be said enough how perfect of a fit he would be for Pope.

I don't get all the negativity. Some of you all act like he couldn't recruit the chubby kid that only plays when everyone is in foul trouble. First this is Kentucky. Second Pope has personality. Third he runs an offense that will get kids ready for the NBA and most importantly he has at least $4 mil in NIL money

Pope and Z having a meeting tomorrow, fingers crossed 🤞


Not sure if anyone noticed but when Pope singled out Travis in the crowd,Travis said Thank you..

[KentuckyWild2020]

After Pope gave his speech today, shortly after Thiero posted a UK logo on his social media account.

To get some of these players back and actually have a coach utilize individual talent and put them in a position would be a dream come true...

If you think about, that's usually what happens almost immediately a year after the one and dones leave Kentucky.

This would be awesome. I've said several times on here that I think Big Z can be an absolute superstar in the college game...

...but he has to put in work. The guy is so...goofy that you can see a situation where he just kind of messes around and doesn't focus. For him to get where he needs to be he needs to get focused and bear down, because if he doesn't get stronger he won't be able to play at a high level wherever he plays college basketball next season.

I agree and he's one of my favorites.

I am trying to prepare for the worst but the reality is I want Big Z in Lexington.

I agree about the goofiness, good natured kid who's always playing around, he and POPE should hit it off in that regard..

[Joneslab]

Pope was goofy...but there was a lot of talk from his teammates this weekend about what an ungodly competitor he was.

I mean, you don't become the captain of a team like that and not be some sort of competitive freak.

You can't expect something like that from Big Z. But I did get the feeling last season that he messes around a lot and is basically a little kid. If he wants to be great, and he can be, I would hope he has it in him to really put in the work.

[KentuckyWild2020]

If buy some chance we can start off with a nucleus of Reed, Z, Thiero, Perry even Burks, i think it's a good start.


That is a whole lot of finger crossing but add some portal players to all that we probably as good as a TEAM than we have been the past few years. May not have the TALENT but team wise it would be a great core with plenty of minutes for each and every one...
