@BuckReising @AtoZSports Are you quoting about the right player? Because Cosell mentions "Rodriguez" in that quote and the Titans drafted Anthony Hill. Doesn't seem like a mistake Cosell would make. 🤔

@BleedBlueCasey Excellent post. Take a look at other coaches… did they get EVERY player they wanted??? That’s not how this works

Casey@BleedBlueCasey·
Lets evaluate all of Mark Popes "whiffs" this offseason: Rob Wright III: Think you can consider it a whiff because they were in a good spot and he didn't even have a photoshoot on his visit because things went south. Coaches knew they had Zoom Diallo locked and they were reaching for the stars. Staff moved quickly and got him a couple of hours later. DeSean Goode: Prioritized Donnie Freeman and Sebastian Rancik over him, not really a whiff. Sebastian Rancik: This is a whiff - staff was overconfident in Freeman and missed on the better MPO player. Dink Pate: Didn't want to risk his college eligibility status in a make or break year, we're good. Chris Washington Jr: Was always going to Tennessee. Visit cancelled in January because of snow that lasted close to two weeks. Quinn Ellis: Kentucky didn't want to overpay for a guard that everyone in the market was going after. Koree Cotton: Wasn't pursued that hard, come on. Magoon Gwath: Has had healthy and physicality concerns the last two years. Not a whiff at all. Jason Rivera-Torres: Literally just reached out. Terrence Hill Jr: Kentucky found their PG1 before him and landed Alex Wilkins later that day. Weren't gonna over pay on him. Cruz Davis: Was a Texas Tech lock early, got a bag, and didn't want to come off the bench as a senior. Anthony Robinson: Had a zoom meeting with him. Bryce Linsday: Reached out. Kwame Evans Jr: Had a zoom early and then prioritized elsewhere. Devin Vanterpool: Coaching staff locked up better guards and moved off of him quickly. Acaden Lewis: Didn't even reach out. Miami was the favorite the second he entered the transfer portal. Corey Hadnot: We just contacted him, thats all. Neoklis Avdalas: Kentucky wouldn't overpay for someone who was inefficient in the ACC last year. Finley Bizjack: Reached out early, they didn't want to overpay for someone that wasn't super athletic and a small combo guard. Naithan George: Not a starting caliber point guard, and wasn't going to be a bench player as a senior. Dedan Thomas: Wasn't going to be the only primary ball handler. Especially with his foot injury from last year which made him sit out of many games. Undersized too. Brett Decker Jr: Staff moved away pretty quickly. Him and his family grew up Louisville fans. One of the worst defensive players statistically in College Basketball. Miles Byrd: Committed way too early in the process and Kentucky wasn't willing to overpay when they had many other options. Actual Whiffs: Rob Wright III (arguable) and Sebastian Rancik. Donnie Freeman was also a whiff, but that's self explanatory.

@CBeasmoreSports Gotta get 2 of these, IMO. I’d be pretty happy if we landed both Folgueiras and McBride.

With Kentucky expecting to not get Donnie Freeman, you have to pivot quickly and hope you can land one of these players: - Milan Momcilovic (Testing NBA Draft waters) - Allen Graves (Testing NBA Draft waters) - Paulius Murauskas - Alvaro Folgueiras - Isaac Celiscar - Justin McBride Those are the top options you have to try and get a commitment, if you're Kentucky! #BBN

@BleedBNetwork @CBeasmoreSports Well 3 of the 6 listed are better than Freeman, so it would stand to reason that UK would pay more. The other 3 don’t have the market that Freeman had, so UK wouldn’t have to pay as much.

@AllUKBall_HPS Wouldn’t surprise me if he went to Oregon. I hope it’s UK, but who knows

@koryhBBN Stop getting upset about “whiffing” on backups. Pope is going after talent that would be starters at most schools and asking them to be backups here. That’s a tough sell and you’ll lose more than you win, but it’s the right strategy.

Film Room: Zoom Diallo +PG1 with some “star” power. +Elite pick-and-roll ball handler, shot-creator, and overall playmaker. +Realistic upside as a three-point shooter. +Checks all of the boxes in terms of athletic and physical tools. Read: on3.com/teams/kentucky…

@KentuckyPortal @AaronAaron1104 @BigBlueBud I'm intrigued by Potter, especially his shooting ability, but totally agree. I'd rather Potter be a nice surprise than someone we have to depend on.

It really feels like Stokes is going to announce - wherever he goes - at like 2am on a random Tuesday without telling anyone first. It's really going to come out of nowhere.

Theme of both Diallo and Pope: PATIENCE. Diallo was between Arizona and UK. Pope wanted Diallo to commit in person. Diallo waited. Pope shifted to Wright. Arizona signed two PG's. Wright decided on BYU. Pope didn't panic and neither did Zoom. Both got what they wanted.
Tristan Pharis@TristanUda

Zoom Diallo was one of the first transfers Kentucky targeted, and they quickly prioritized him for the PG1 spot. UK wanted a commit by the end of his visit on Saturday, but when that didn’t happen, they pursued Rob Wright and followed that through. After Wright’s return to BYU, they quickly locked Diallo down.
