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

[Joneslab]

Kentucky not even getting a visit?

Not sure if that was the whole list of visits or not. Goodman seemed to be saying that that's what he was going to visit this weekend.

Tyran Stokes class of 26 May reclassify and Kentucky is being mentioned as a possible landing place. 6’7” 245 and considered the #1 player in class of 26. Article I read said we needed Lewis’s scholarship. Take this for what it is worth. May just be internet speculation or wishful thinking.

Not one single chance in the universe that this will happen.

KSR says Kentucky is out for Folguieras.

I assume this is the Garrison tradeoff here, just based on the timing.

Another upshot here is that I won't have to Google him every time I try and spell his name.

I'm starting to think we are going with Garrison, Moreno, JQ, Dioubate, with a little Noah and Williams sprinkled in between the 4 and 5 spots.

If that's the case, we better hope Garrison has taken a step up and that JQ is healthy.

Rumor is, Alabama offering Oweh 4 million to roll tide roll.

So even the transfer portal is totally meaningless? I mean…Oweh is not in it, correct? Sounds like tampering. Is that a thing in college sports now?

[Bluesong]

I wouldn’t be disappointed if we picked up Xaivian Lee

No idea. There's alot of junk of floating around.

As much as I hated freshman one and done, I may end up hating the whole NIL thing even more, it's a no holds barred wild wild west.

I hope this Oweh rumor is just smoke and mirrors.

Losing Lewis, maybe even Garrison, doesn't bother me,I want players not afraid to compete and earn what they get.

Losing Oweh to anything but the NBA would sting. Having Oweh gives us a real chance of being a team that could do some great things.

[teamchemistry15]

If that's the case, we better hope Garrison has taken a step up and that JQ is healthy.

Agreed. Garrison has the physical tools and Pope seems to really love the kid. Pope knows the game just slightly better than I do, so I think this is one I'll just trust him on because I feel like we've had chances at better options.

To play guard or forward? That might be a deal breaker for him.

[justafan]

Nope, how can there be tampering? Students can be recruited by other schools anytime. It’s the same with athletes.

again, welcome to unlimited free agency and unlimited salary cap.

no limits.

besides, unless Alabama comes out and says they made a “strong offer”, it’s just a rumor. Might be true, who knows.

[KCKUKFan]

Where is this rumor coming from?

I'm sure a lot of big schools have made offers to Oweh's agent, but Kentucky has a pile set aside for him to match.
