Eubeka Okorie from Stanford is expected to hit the portal.
Likely the top PG in the portal.
Hope we can land him.Comment

Top of my portal wishlist:
Point- Okorie(SO)
Wing- Avdala(SO)
Shooter- Decker(JR)
Backup Point- Ruffin(GR)
Return- Chandler, Moreno, Williams, Jelavic, Dioubate, and Hawthorne.
That could be a pretty strong 10 man rotation:
G Okorie(SO)/Ruffin(GR)
G Chandler(JR)/Decker(JR)
G Avdala(SO)/Hawthorne(FR)
F K.Williams(JR)/Dioubate(SR)
F Moreno(SO)/Jelavic(SO)
A little young, but lots of size and skill.Comment

I don't know much, but I think we need 2 really good PGs and a really good center. The other positions aren't quite as much of a need for next year.Comment

Dioubate enters the portal.Comment

Looks like we have 6 guys left to hear from. If I had to guess, JQ enters the draft and at least 2 more hit the portal.
Otega Oweh (graduate)
Denzel Aberdeen (graduate)
Collin Chandler
Malachi Moreno
Mouhamed Dioubate (transfer)
Andrija Jelavic
Jasper Johnson (transfer)
Brandon Garrison (transfer)
Kam Williams
Trent Noah
Jaland Lowe (transfer)
Jayden Quaintance
Zach Tow (graduate)
Walker Horn (graduate)
Braydon Hawthorne (return)
Reece Potter (return)

I’d have to imagine he stands to make more money at UK next year. I think he can have a good jump next year and go up on the draft boards.Comment

If MM does not go to NBA (40% chance he would go, my guess), then we have a summer for our S&C team to get him in better shape and much stronger. That is one good piece of the upcoming year. Hopefully Pope takes the team to some good competition over the summer trip (not just a vacation) to see where his guys actually stand against competition. Then gets back to continue the work for the fall. Now we see the next pieces stay or go.Proverbs 25:24Comment

How is this any different than the Calipari era?????
Except this time, you get 3 or 4 star scrubs and over pay them to live a life of luxury.
At least with 5 star one and done's, those guys still had something to prove every time they stepped on the court to impress the next level scouts.
This system guys get paid and just flat out sit on their a$$, play don't play ,it don't matter, still going home to the upscale apartment driving a high end vehicle with a certified 9 or 10 Kentucky basketball groupie on the side...
Mark Pope needs a huge offseason and major season number 3 or it's get the ax time.
Good news, Billy D didn't take the NC job, other good premier coaches could also be avaialbe.
if he can't recruit, time to go period or even retain what he has, time to go...Comment
