Marcio Santos Enthusiast

@RuppToNoGood Do you think we’ll look back & scratch our heads about why we prioritized N’Diaye over Santos? I do.

It's listener question time! Leave 'em in the comments!

@BigBlueDylan I need a podcast or space or something with some info. Where TF is Pope? Still overseas? So odd to leave the roster on cinder blocks with zero communication

No big movement on Kentucky’s Roster/Big Board moving into the month of May, but let’s talk small updates on some guys. • Boskania G/F Stefan Joksimovic’s agent has stated he intends to stay with his club and will not be in the NCAA next season, so we can remove him from the board. • Brazilian C Márcio Santos was on commitment watch after Mark Pope flew to Israel to meet with him/his agent, despite late pushes by UK/BYU, it sounds like LSU will keep him on board. • Brazilian C Wini Silva continues to hear from Kentucky also, I’ve been told. could be the pivot from Márcio Santos. • France PF Hugo Yimga still weighing his future options, an Kentucky remains a connected school, I’ve been told. He also signed as a Nike Athlete on April 22nd. • France PF Cameron Houindo is a player I originally heard could be connected to Kentucky, but I’ve been told that interest has cooled off for now. • Uruguay SF Nicolas Martinez did complete a zoom call with Kentucky this past week, his agent tells me. Kentucky remains involved for him. • Iowas State Transfer SF Milan Momcilovic remains the biggest potential addition for Kentucky. - As I mentioned in my previous update on Milan, he will be going though the entire draft process before making a decision on returning to school or not. - Kentucky has reached out to his agent and is firmly in the mix of just the “handful or less” of schools Milan will consider if he withdraws from the NBA Draft. • 2027 5⭐️ SG Ryan Hampton recently earned an offer to Kentucky after hosting Mark Pope/Staff for an in-home visit. Talks of a 26’ reclass were fluid, but have heated up tremendously recently. - Ryan is working with the staff to get a visit to Lexington in. with it being a break in-between AAU Sessions, i could possibly see that getting put together sooner than later. - LSU, SMU are 2 other schools he has visited, with Will Wade prioritizing him going back to last year at NC State. Both programs have openings at their SG spot, but both have also been recently rumored to be looking to spend big $ on a SG that isn’t a reclass FR. (Both looking INTL) - Role/Opportunity are the biggest factors, and Ive been told if Kentucky really wants him and shows it, that they’re in the best position of the 3 schools to land him in a 2026’ reclass. Just need to FINISH. #BBN #KentuckyBasketball

@PTKelsch Another show tonight??!!!

Still going strong. Come join us Talk about anything! youtube.com/live/bPMxsVgm3…

@LegacyBlue_UK @gregwilliams68 They brought Kam back to get Greg! Now I get it. Chess not checkers

@gregwilliams68 🤣🤣🤣 go get em!!

Coach Pope is signing straight dogs for next year! Go Cats! 😂

@ClasslessVol At least they aren’t dressed up like a popsicle

There isn’t a single player on this Kentucky roster that isn’t one of the biggest cornballs I’ve ever seen

@vol_equalizer Juke Harris 😂 Stick to baseball you gooner

Juke Harris and company will lead tn to a national title and bbn will be in shambles

@TristanUda @SasaZagorac Way to take a dump in my Cheerios 🫤

Stefan Joksimovic, one of the top prospects in Europe, is a name that has been incorrectly rumored to Kentucky. He will not be playing in college this year. Joksimovic is commited and will remain with Baskonia next season, his agent @SasaZagorac tells me

@CoachMarkPope Whatcha gonna do with that Stokes money? Blink once if you got something cookin. Blink twice if you don’t know

Let’s go to work BBN

@alphafox 230 lbs

130 lbs: 🧐

@tyrese1717 Everyone on the roster can shoot 3’s except Malachi

Florida had a similar roster before they came out of nowhere and won the championship 2 years ago, idk why we’re acting like this isn’t a good team, it’s the prototypical Mark Pope squad and it’s not even finalized yet.

@GoodmanHoops So many capable “nobodies”. It’s a dangerous thing to fuel their fire. I think it’s exactly what the plan is.

Morton averaged 7.8 points last season while starting nearly every game for Washington State. Began his career with two seasons at Morehead State.

@GUnit_81 Please. Keep up the hate.

Other than a few delusional that would have been satisfied with them signing five Greg Peterson’s (I have zero basketball ability or game…..at all), I think the consensus is this offseason has been a flop for Kentucky and they need to pray Ortega Oweh gets eligibility & returns.

@ItsWhiske I went on YouTube & watched a few full games. Santos is the ultimate Pope big.

🤔 food for thought.

@AdamLuckettKSR If you go on YouTube & watch full games, Santos is the ultimate Pope big.

Marcio Santos entered the 2023 NBA Draft. Played with the Atlanta Hawks during the 2023 Summer League. Will turn 24 years old during the college basketball season. Scouting reports say this as undersized stretch 5 who can shoot it. MORE HERE: on3.com/teams/kentucky…

@LegacyBlue_UK Wow! So lemme get this straight. Pope is supposed to continue treating them kindly even after they dug deeper than deep to make him look bad with their undercover expose’ about recruiting which ended up sabotaging the whole perception of UK basketball??

This right here

@Cats_Coverage @TenthRegion Umm… I’m no basketball Benny, but he appears to be better equipped for high major basketball than Noah & Perry.

@JayhawkSlant Looks like a bum ass Ronald McDonald to me

"Right now, I’m just trying to win a national championship." - Tyran Stokes just arrived on campus and we had a chance to speak with him. Read what he had to say after officially becoming a Jayhawk. #kubball More: on3.com/sites/jayhawk-…

@TheFieldOf68 Look at all those big clunky ugly ass clown shoes. Looks like they’re outfitted by Wal Mart😂 Good luck playing special Ed basketball with a nursing home patient for a coach

Tyran Stokes has arrived in Lawrence 👀

@Hoopss Arthritis

Who’s stopping this team?

@DrewByousBBN Nah

These numbers lie though. Yes, congrats to Mark Pope, he has beaten a 14 seed and a 6 seed in the 2025 tournament, something Cal couldn’t do his last few years of his tenure. He still won us a National title. It also took like a less than 1% chance shot from Otega Oweh just to get to OT vs Santa Clara this past year, which eventually turned into getting dog walked by Iowa State. The SEC Tournament is THE biggest example of misleading numbers. Nothing has changed. Kentucky hasn’t won a game on a Friday, or later, in the SEC Tournament since 2022. Cal is also succeeding Kentucky in just about every way over the last two years at Arkansas compared to where Mark Pope has been. #BBN #KentuckyBasketball
