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

[Lighthouse]

I'm concerned about next year and the next. After that Pope will have us back.

As much as I wanted a few to return, probably best to reboot and throw that OL mentality out the door.

Yes it may get rough the first year but the last 5 years been a faiuure anyways.

As a Kentucky fan, I will never be satisfied just making the tournament...

For a good while we’ve mentioned that when Cal was finished here it would be a complete rebuild. It’s not surprising.

Kind of tough to see it come to fruition though. If you aren’t concerned, I’m not sure what to tell you

Everyone is doing a “complete rebuild”. Arkansas, Duke, everyone. We have gotten zero facts that are legitimate cause for near term concern.

UK is on schedule and will be fine. I’d bet serious money we finish better in the league, conference tournament, in national tournament next year.

I'm not sold on Mark Pope as a long term solution here, but I'm not concerned that we won't have a team next year. Hell get a roster built, and probably one that can beat Oakland.

Dude I am in the same boat. I think Pope will be fine but right now I am on pins and needles in regards to the roster situation, am I the only person here that is concerned about this right now???

At some point, " if you don't want to be at Kentucky we don't want you" but these days, it's all about the money. That slogan sounds good to us fans and that's what we want to hear but will it bring recruits??

Bottomline, i don't care who we are hosting or who we are looking at daily, just pay them and let's get on it with it..


Amari Williams, how much you need???

Who's next??

Missouri has landed 3 players in the portal so far.

Since college is becoming a NBA clone, need to structure it like them. GM should be in place, scouts, financial advisers and etc. Offer the players signing bonuses and incentives and if they stay more than a year, a increase in their NIL salary and yes I said salary. Just call it what it is which is a business with paid employees.

Crazy days for sure. College ball will have to make some type of adaptation to survive in some form. NIL has grown I believe past intent. Throw in transfer unlimited....this could end up cutting the head off the golden goose.

Fingers crossed both Osobar and Williams committ this weekend. Same agent played together in High school.

Get out checkbook, don't let them leave Lexington uncommitted..

Now the roster stands at 3 players.

Need at least two more this coming week. Then...seven or eight more after that.

Sort of a daunting climb for Pope, but he knew the deal when he signed up for this.

The irony about Amari Williams is that if Kentucky would've had him last year things would've turned out way differently. Exactly the type of player we were missing.

Isn't he testing the waters in the NBA

I would hope not considering he’s out there taking college visits.
