We
Different positions obviously but would take some of the sting out of losing Storr (at least for now). Definitely need more ball handlers for 22. Would be a very solid get.
Haven't lost him yet. We still stand to keep him. Hasn't committed anywhere else.

Great take.....
What team would want three four star wings that are only 6’ 6” and can fill it up? Makes no sense.
I respectfully disagree. I think his point is playing time for them is going to be hard to come by. Maybe one of them gets significant minutes but with the addition of Plummer and Hutchinson as well as Trent and Damonte being back when exactly are they going to be on the court?

1 = AC
2 = TF
3 = Hutch/Damonte
4 = Grandison/Hawkins/Gueirrer (if he comes) Payne (If Kofi comes back)
5 = Kofi/Payne

Then you got Plummer coming off the bench so where are the minutes for the 2021 class exactly? I think that was his point. If PODZ or any of them don't play much they might look to go to the portal next year.

Plenty of minutes for those who earn it.

Apparently, even if he does commit elsewhere, we might not lose him...what exactly is a "commitment" in college basketball these days.
Better than not a commitment! 😂 I understand your point. I couldn't help myself. I-L-L

I would expect a fair number of 15 or 16 year olds with a UK early offer will end up as Elite G league.
That should be most schools offers. If not, what are they doing?! You should always be going after the best players! You miss 100% of the shots you don't take! IJS

Podz, Goode, and Melendez can play the 2 or 3. It's positionless basketball remember. And when you're specialty is putting the ball in the basket like these guys shoot it.... you'll play. We need shot makers always. That opens up the floor. Yet they do have to earn it. We went plenty deep in the rotation this past season. We can truly play fast and hard the entire game if everyone can step on the floor and hold their own. They can get rest and be subbed out. Play hard then another wave can come in. No let down! We'd run teams out the gym.

#1 in state for 2024!
If they haven't already...Kentucky will offer soon!
NCAA Division 1 and Division 2 college coaches can begin contacting recruits, sending recruiting materials, emailing, texting, calling, and making verbal offers starting June 15 after the athlete’s sophomore year.

Something doesn't add up, not that I expect coaches/schools to follow the rules or anything.

It means whatever the player wants it to mean.

And if there are coaching changes or extenuating circumstances, you have to expect that it may take time for a player to process that and potentially revisit their decision. I think we'd act similarly if it were our future on the line.

I hope Da'Monte makes it his mission to indoctrinate our new guys. If they can score on him, they'll be ready.

I think that they will have a great chance for minutes in 22. 21 does look fairly crowded.
