What are UK's chance on get this kid? Anyone heard anything on him. Muurinen was offered by Kentucky last summer after Peach Jam and recently told KSR+ he’s planning to take an official visit to Lexington in the fall.

I just don’t see us getting any elite 5-star types with 12 of our 14 guys eligible to return.

It is hard to entice a kid to come here and be a reserve role player when they are use to being the star and it’s hard to honestly tell a kid they will have a shot at being the star when they will be competing with returning players for minutes.

I’d rather have returnees and portal guys than HS studs, anyway.

Kid has a nice game from what little video i have seen of him. Would not mind seeing him pick UK. I think he would do well under Pope's coaching.

Just gotta play the ole Roy Williams act. Retain and add a couple burger boys. Each year. It worked better than the Cal method.
