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

[KentuckyWild2020]

He literally just listed his stats. I think he was agreeing with you that he's a good shooter.

Felt like to me here comes the BS just because i mentioned he had short alligator arms because he does..

Most dudes with short arms can actually shoot the basketball.

[KentuckyWild2020]

I will assume that Pope has his eyes on another big, probably someone that hasn't been reported but more than likely someone he and the staffed have looked at for a while..

[Joneslab]

Here comes the hate...

Desmond Bane is one of the best shooter in the league...

Wasn't a response to you. Just a general observation.

I wouldn't know how short or long Wilkerson's arms are. I just heard about him yesterday for the first time. I had to Google him to even know who we were talking about.

It is exhausting trying to keep up with all the recruiting that is going on. I can’t imagine what the coaching staff is dealing with.

Who did I miss?

Coach Pope and his staff have been actively recruiting several high school prospects to strengthen the Wildcats’ future lineups. Among these targets are:

• Caleb Wilson: A 6-foot-9 forward from Atlanta, Georgia, ranked as the No. 5 national prospect in the 2025 recruiting class. Wilson has taken official visits to Kentucky, Central Florida, Tennessee, Georgia Tech, and Ohio State.

• Chris Cenac: A 6-foot-10, 230-pound center, ranked No. 16 overall and No. 1 center in the 2025 class. Cenac has scheduled visits to Kentucky, Tennessee, Auburn, and LSU.

• Mikel Brown: A 6-foot-3 point guard, ranked No. 12 overall and No. 2 point guard in the 2025 class. Brown has been visited by Coach Pope and is scheduled for a visit to Kentucky.

• Braylon Mullins: A 6-foot-5 guard, ranked No. 24 overall, known for his shooting prowess. Mullins has been in contact with Kentucky and has completed a visit with the Wildcats.

Bluesong, all of those incoming freshmen are committed to other schools.

I felt like I was taking crazy pills reading those names lol. Was like wait....

[Joneslab]

Looks like Yates indeed chose Washington.

Oh crap! You’re right! Now where did I put my meds? Geez …

While gathering names, I captured that in the copy from an older segment. I will proof read from now on.

UK and Jaron Pierre are reportedly “no longer a thing.”

Good. Character issues and ball hog tendencies weren’t appealing, imo.

[George]

Acaden Lewis just decommitted from Kentucky.

[KCKUKFan]

Acaden Lewis just decommitted from Kentucky.

This is not ideal.

[Mr.Nezzer]

Acaden Lewis just decommitted from Kentucky.

Curious as to why...

[teamchemistry15]

This is not ideal.

Or means we are landing a guy like Pierre and he didn't want to compete for major minutes.
