2025-26 Roster Chatter (UPDATE: Oweh Returns, Roster Complete)

“Alvaro should be coming soon.”

One of those two and the kid from Robert Morris. Then we can fill in the last roster spot with best available, but that would preferably be a rim protector.

Ha. See the post I just made.

Fans complained last year that we didn't have a guy who could get around his man and get a basket. We get that kid with Lowe, who is also a VERY good distributor, and now fans are complaining that he isn't a pure shooter. A lot of UK fans would complain about the side effects if a player or coach on our staff cured cancer.

Is Alvaro the kid from RM? I've also seen people mention a kid from Spain.

Not sure if those fans watched a UK game, then, because Otega Oweh was driving around his man to get a basket literally all year long, every game.

Even Koby Brea, a guy never in his career known for being athletic or mobile, turned into a serviceable blow-by, mid-range player at the end.

I didn't see those complaints, so I have no idea who was saying that. I did see people saying we weren't athletic...which on the whole was true.

Jones says he thinks Kentucky will take two more.

That's interesting if true, because it means Garrison and Oweh will return.

With freshmen and transfers, Kentucky has the #3 recruiting class thus far.

If you can add those two more and keep Oweh to add him to that mix, that should be the roster to be a top ten(ish) team (on paper of course).

He is from RM, and he’s also from Spain, but there was also talk of taking the Spaniard from UCLA.

It's interesting that Robert Morris and Pitt players are mentioned as possibilities of joining together at UK. Those two campuses are 30 minutes apart.

Alvaro seems to be the guy Pope really wants. For all the time we’ve spent fretting over misses, I will say the most consistent message is “fit.”

It’s critical.

Back on the left-handers thing: Lowe will be the third UK guard to have signed for next year who's a leftie.

I've thought all year that's part of Auburn's success this season. Left-handers if they can play can be lethal because of the normal way players are used to guarding a majority of offensive players.

2 of our 3 freshman are PG's, is there enough minutes to keep all happy with Lowe?

Sorry, I meant at the PG position.

I think we will see Johnson play off ball some. I remember reading that Lewis has the most potential of the class when it comes to being a PG in college. I feel like Johnson plays off the ball some already but I might be wrong.
