      Get the guard from Furman too, maybe the guard from Utah. And 1 of Freeman/Folgueiras/Goode now, and I'd feel slightly better.

      Haven't heard that they're even attempting for Folgueras though.... & They need to address the lack of 3 point shooting as well.

        Taylor Bol Bowen is still out there too. That's another guy I've heard nothing about.

          I'd take Alex Wilkins (the guard from Furman), but with Diallo I'd take a pass on Terrence Brown (the guard from Utah). Brown is a "look for my shot" guard that doesn't shoot the 3 all that well. He's a bit ball dominant as well, which won't work well with Diallo.

          I'd also add Rancik to the list of possible Power Forwards...I like what I've seen from him.

            Didn't know that about the Utah player, but yea I'd be ok with adding Rancik.

              Zoom.is a nice.pick up, WELCOME YOUNG MAN!

              I like the Rancik kid also. Hope pope can land a couple 3 pt shooters and a big.
              some of the pressure was relieved with the signing of Diallo

                  Jones said Wilkins is on his way to Lex for a visit.

                    That's definitely some good news. I would like the idea of Wilkins joining Diallo more so than Brown, that's for sure.

                    I'd still like to see a natural 2 guard that's a dead-eye 3-point shooter join the mix.

                        We have to have 3 more Guards at least. We need another solid choice as PG along with Zoom and Williams. Then we need at least 2 to 3 2 guards or guard forward type of guys. Then add a true small forward (like stokes or whomever) and go after some bigs. I hope we see almost a full roster this coming year with about even (1-3) guys to (4-5) guys. 7 of each sounds about right, 2 pg 2sg, 3 combo or small fwd / 4 PF and 3 centers. That would do it for me.

                          Freshman Guard from Maryland entering portal. Darius Adams: 6'5" guard. I do not know much more than that about him.

                            35% FG

                            25% 3-point %

                            Hmmm. Not the greatest shooting percentage for a guard.

                            When Pope came to Kentucky there was all this talk about how explosive his offense was going to be, especially because of all the 3-point shooting that was going to take place.

                            I've gotta be honest...his first class of recruits brought in some really good 3-point shooters....but I haven't seen the same emphasis since then.

                              Cruz Davis of Hofstra: 6'3" lefty. His highlight reel is good to watch. He has a unique game. Just think about the name stuff with Zoom to Cruz and such. I do like this guys game. Wilkens, Zoom and Cruz might be a good group of 3. Add Colgate guy and we would be good at guard.

This "being content with mediocrity" nonsense is for losers with no awareness of pride and tradition.
                                No more sugar coating it, it's going backwards. With Pitino back in the days after probation, win or lose, you could see it coming. When Cal first came, immediately hit the ground running. This thing we got going on right here right now aint it.........
