He would be the Denzel Aberdeen replacement, only he's not as good of a three point shooter as Denzel. Otherwise, his game is almost identical.

If he signs, I hope it's after we've secured a true Point Guard.... because like Denzel, he's more of a combo guard. If hate for him coming to distract someone like Wright for declaring for UK.

We need so many guards. Wright is not afraid of another guard signing. He knows he is PG1 where ever he goes with the exception of maybe Arkansas.

Aberdeen commits (again) to Florida.

I don't see this as that big of a loss, especially since there's no guarantee that the NCAA will grant Aberdeen another year of eligibility, and it looks like he's going to land Diallo, who is pretty much an Aberdeen clone.

Pope is such a freaking terrible recruiter and a clown. I cannot wait until the Pope disaster ends after next season.

Do think he is better than Chandler?

He's a different type player, He's listed as a Point Guard (even though he's really more of a Combo Guard) where as Collin was a Shooting Guard, yet he takes about twice as many shots and doesn't look to pass as much . Also, he isn't as good of a three point shooter as Denzel, let alone Collin. And lke Denzel, he tends to look for his shot more often than pass....but he can pass. He's just one of those guys that if he can dish the ball or shoot it, most likely he's going to take the shot.

On3 has him listed as a 100% UK projection, so it doesn't matter what I think. I'm more of a Robert Wright guy and think his game is superior overall, but if Pope knows he has no shot at Wright and Diallo is a pretty sure thing, them so be it. I guess I'll have to get used to calling the Point Guard on next year's team "Zoom" (LOL).

What is he worth?

Less then what he received last year.

[Pobilly]

Will Pope get his first commitment this weekend on visits? Do not expect it but am hopeful for one or three. Would love to see Wright signed, zoom signed and Freeman signed. Expect 0 signed.

What is he worth?

Maybe $750K to 1.2 Mil? Not sure anyone actually has a pulse on the value from year to year any longer.

Chandler wanting 3 million is absurd! He is not worth that kind of $$$$.

What is he worth?

[Jeffky62]

Not sure if this is portal or roster but DINK PATE committed to Providence tonight. They are building a team up there. Byrd and Pate in the back court.

Dink pate may not be eligible to play next season ruling still pending

According to Sleepers Media, Matt Jones/KSR is reporting that Collin Chandler had asked for the second highest dollar amount ever for a Kentucky player. Ouch! That's making the transfer portal entrance and decision for Kentucky not to retain him a lot more understandable if that's the case.

I'd love to have him return, but obviously under a much more reasonable dollar amount than what he's seeking.

I'm sure I'll be in the minority on this, but I wasn't as high on either player as much as some Kentucky fans were. Yes, they have skills, talent, ability and potential....but I saw them as kind of a continuation of what last year's roster construction seemed like. I'm hoping for better talent than those two, in all honesty.
