And after all that concern, for all those months .... Kentucky finishes with the No. 2 portal class in America this off-season, per 247.
As I said last night, Mark Pope has a heck of a team - and one much better suited to how he wants to play than a season ago
A perfect example of why government should stay out of education! Using AI is lazy. Take a close look at those tools and where the pipes go. Did anybody proof this! 🤷♂️🤣
1. Get yourself involved, via whatever means necessary, with the best available player. Need a STAR. (Doubt this happens).
2. Backup 5-man.
3. Best pure shooter you can get.
And just to bottom-line it: Kentucky is not comporting itself as a top program in college basketball under Pope.
It just isn’t. Zero lottery pick-level high school recruits signed, one top-15 transfer (with a torn ACL) signed in three cycles.
Baseball parents driving to work early for an over time shift just so they can take their kid who can’t hit the ball out of the infield to Dicks to buy a $409 baseball bat
Tyran Stokes is a game-wrecker at times defensively, he is an excellent passer, and physically over powers most matchups.
He has the “star” potential that is required to compete at the highest levels.
Kentucky needs to lock him up and build from there.
