Jason Crowe Jr Commitment

[UKfan215]

Landing a top ten 5 star guard should silence any remaining critics when it comes to this staff's ability to recruit high end high school talent. Combing a couple of these HS studs with the solid 4 year players and transfers Pope's been bringing in is the recipe we need for cooking up championships.

Someone had said that the west coast schools had not recruited him that hard. Guess they knew he was coming to UK because of Hart.

USC is probably the only real threat, fwiw.

If Hart doesn’t land Crowe, I have to question his recruiting skills. He has literally been recruiting this kid since he was born.

His dad and Jason are good friends too

Hope we get the guy. Would be a good start to the class.

Quite literally since birth.

Kinda same as Kal with Wagner recruitment..

More importantly IMO it would give coach Pope a chance to show UK isn't the place west coast players go to disappear. Cal had a real problem with that and as long as Hart is on the staff we should have a chance at the best from the west. Also getting him committed might get players that want to play with him more interested in UK.

I don't know for sure, but I would assume that Pope has a pretty good handle on the west coast pipeline, considering how much time he spent recruiting out there during his stints in Utah.

Oh, wow. Didn't know that.

[George]

Hart's been on this kid for a long time.

I was coming into say this. Hart's been on this kid for a long time. Gotta think it's UK.

I like getting kids locked in early. Takes some pressure off, and will make it easier to work the portal next off-season.

He’s a very strong UK lean. The Hart connection will be difficult for anyone else to overcome.

Even if he doesn't choose UK,, gotta like him for cutting all the bullsheet and not dragging teams along for a hat on the table..

He was going to visit in Oct for BBM..

I think we will get him honestly.

I think most of you are correct in saying it looks like UK. We won't have long to wait and see.

Thankfully, I don't really care where one and done high school kids commit anymore. After 15 years we finally have a coach that won't load the roster up every year with those types....and I've gotta say, it's kinda nice to watch guys in their early twenties playing basketball for Kentucky again.

Besides, we don't have as many seniors or guys that are guaranteed to leave after this year, so who knows how many roster spots will even be available. Crazy as it may sound to some, I'm more excited about the transfer portal than I am high school recruiting these days.

I do we just don't need 8 to 10 of them 2 to 3 with portals .
