Check out my most recent article on the Transfer Portal targets Kentucky has been in conversation with!

There are plenty of options but these guys could be the RIGHT fits for them

If you think Cal has been sitting on his hands for the last month I’ve got some oceanfront property to sell you in central Kentucky. Come on people.

I’m sick or reading “college sports is only about money now.” It’s been all about money for at least 40 years at a minimum. The only thing that’s changed is now players can get a portion of it. Funny how everyone is suddenly concerned about money being part of sports.

I’m only addressing this once.

My source on the Kentucky-Hunter Dickinson recruitment, is close on HD’s side.

I was the first to report when he was on his way to campus on Sunday.

This morning I was told the visit went “really well” alongside a direct text from Dickinson.

[Matt Sakcilovic BBN @MattSakR2NG]

Getting all 5 freshmen of that caliber on campus in today’s age of college basketball would be a huge feat for Coach Cal and staff

A few of those key returners and/or transfers and we are cooking

[Tristan Pharis @TristanUda]

Kentucky has reached out here, but not sure of how far those talks will go.

Not a great shooter or great finisher on the offensive end, but can rebound at high level and has the positional size to guard three positions.

[Tristan Pharis @TristanUda]

Hunter Dickinson is on the plane right now to Lexington and will get dinner tonight with the Kentucky staff, a source tells me.

Visit of campus/facilities will start tomorrow.

[Rare Rookies @rarerookies]

I don't have a specific stat to throw out here. Let's just say half of the top players in the NBA Playoffs are from The University of Kentucky.

[Tres Terrell @TerrellTres]

Michigan’s Hunter Dickinson, listed by nearly everyone as the No. 1 rated transfer in the portal, will be visiting Kentucky this weekend.

“I do have family in Paducah, KY… That’s all I’ll say about that.”

[Let’s Go Kentucky Hoops @letsgo_kyhoops]

It’s be a really good day to hear some Hunter Dickinson news

Secure him and all Kentucky fans can take a deep breath

[WT - Mase Enthusiast @WildcatsTongue]

4-9 against Michigan
3-6 against Missouri
7-13 against Alabama
4-10 against Tennessee
8-17 against Texas A&M
7-14 against Vandy
5-12 against Mississippi State
8-13 against Auburn
12-17 against Arkansas
8-18 against Providence

cherry picking data is fun, right?

[Let’s Go Kentucky Hoops @letsgo_kyhoops]

@MattSakR2NG Gimme Reeves over any of these Bama/Arkansas guys coming in

[Let’s Go Kentucky Hoops @letsgo_kyhoops]

@kfeltner7 Either Bradshaw or him come off the bench. Then I’d be worried of Thiero transferring

[Let’s Go Kentucky Hoops @letsgo_kyhoops]

Give me a lineup of:

PG: DJ Wagner
SG: Antonio Reeves
SF: Justin Edwards
PF: Aaron Bradshaw
C: Hunter Dickinson

6: Rob Dillingham
7: Ugonna Onyenso
8: Adou Thiero
9: Reed Sheppard
10: Lance Ware

And I’ll be happy 👌

[Let’s Go Kentucky Hoops @letsgo_kyhoops]

For everyone complaining about Kentucky not going after another guard/wing player:

No stud player will want to come in and play behind Wagner/Dilly/Reeves/Edwards

Additionally, even if they did bring on another wing we would then have to worry about Thiero possibly leaving

[Let’s Go Kentucky Hoops @letsgo_kyhoops]

@Davidfa35698009 I love his skill and creativity off the bench and we need Reeves shooting in the starting lineup

[Let’s Go Kentucky Hoops @letsgo_kyhoops]

Only “Kentucky” player on this list is Shaedon Sharpe smh

[Let’s Go Kentucky Hoops @letsgo_kyhoops]

This would be huge - would love to beat Duke at Cameron

[Dylan Ballard @DylanBallard_UK]

Kentucky VS Duke in the ACC/SEC challenge is about to be wild!
