ONe thing for sure is he did so against UCONN in the NCAA Round of 32. I game example but I think others have said he played 4 games against Quad 1 or 2 teams last year and all 4 he represented very well.

If you go back in the day at UK the biggest transfers were Macy, Anderson, Pope and a few others but those were some of the biggest. I would say this transfer has the opportunity to be UK's version of Waller Clayton (Florida).

Good to hear. Regardless, I hope team chemistry is in sync,no chaos.

I see potential in Pope. His first year before injuries hit, was feeling pretty good.

Hopefully we have a great season and never have these conversations again.

Im so old I can remember Kentucky fans being excited to get a transfer from a small bottom feeding school, wow have times have changed..

Good luck, hope Wilkins can play under bright lights, 24/7 pressure. Hope he adjusts to not being the focal point game plan..

Yeah.... imagine if Kentucky took a guard like STEPH CURRY from a bottom feeding school like Davidson...a player from a school that is "so beneath them" (roll eyes)

Remember Antonio Reeves? He wasn't a bad player for Kentucky. Came from a small bottom feeder school, I believe it was Illinois State. Imagine if, back in the day, Kentucky had taken a player named LARRY BIRD from a small bottom feeder school like Indiana State.

Yeah.... nothing good can come from those small bottom feeder schools, that's for sure.

Did you really just mention Steph Curry? The same Curry that turned down Duke Carolina The Whitehouse The Pope and every other school that overlooked him in the 10th grade?

Larry Bird would have never been at Indiana, Kentucky was in the hunt. Louisville would have been in the hunt had Crum beat him in a game of horse,Crum told me that himself..

Reeves, fair enough. Are you talking about 1st year Reeves or second year Reeves?

I hope his character is good and he can handle kentucky

I remember last summer all the talk about 96 Kentucky depth blah blah Blah blah. Will never and I mean ever make that mistake again. First and foremost, Pope is coaching to save his job, another year like what we just witnessed and he will be looking for a realtor..

Add Stokes and some depth, at least we have potential and a true game changing 5 star,that's a start...

Relax brother....it was mostly sarcasm by me....just enjoy the moment....don't overthink it

In this day and age, I think players develop at different paces. It’s why some great players in recent years started at smaller schools. We tried getting players from Bama, Florida, Oklahoma St., Pittsburgh… we saw how that worked out this year. For every Oweh, there’s a Brea who came from Dayton. Didn’t Dalton Knect (sp) for Tennessee come out of a small school only to win SEC POY?
Wilkins will be a sophomore, so ideally Pope gets this thing turned around and we have him for multiple seasons. He has a lot of upside.

I do think we need a couple more high percentage shooters.

I put his ignorant *** on ignore, next to JFCats for that moronic post lol

In what world is a person's instinct to cry & whine when "his team" gets a commitment from one of the best guards available?

1000% agree it is going to be a chemistry problem to overcome any time you add 5 or 8 players each year. Hope he gets it right this year. I would really like to enjoy basketball again. Football this year, good or bad is a free pass for Stein. Baseball has been up and down.

He's the guy who hoped UK would lose every game so Pope would get fired. I doubt he relaxes.
