@Burke_Franklin_ western kentucky has a starting spot for him

Jasper’s uncle speaks out I’d imagine that’s a pretty quick portal entry

@ScoopLexington just take a look at the comp and compare it to sec……

I hate everything.

@NextUpRecruits @keriawn_berry @NorthHardinBB @Born_R3ady @JosephDecker23 @HankPlona_WKU @martincross10 @WKUBasketball wake up before it’s to late!

4⭐️ 2026 - 6’6 SF Keriawn Berry (@keriawn_berry) of North Hardin (KY) finished with 25 points, 12 rebounds, 5 steals, and 3 assists in a win over Adair County. North Hardin advances to the 5th Region Championship for the third straight season. @NorthHardinBB | @Born_R3ady

We are Kentucky. I’m tired of these portal/offseason target lists with no names on em. WE ARE KENTUCKY, act like it.

@MattSakR2NG @DrewByousBBN what about this guy…… is he doesn’t go nba doubt he stays.

@DrewByousBBN 1. He is completely eligible within the rules 2. This sounds like repeating point 1 3. This sounds like repeating point 2 4. He should be valued NIL wise as a top 10 recruit 5. Get Stokes too

I know I’m probably in the minority, or maybe the only one in BBN, but I am not a fan of this Dink Pate smoke to Kentucky. Multiple reasons for it. Let’s dive into it. #1 - All of college basketball fans, excluding Alabama and Baylor fans, were in agreement that G League players should not be eligible for college basketball. Alabama with Charles Bediako, Baylor with James Nnaji. Now we’re going to do it? Sure, the counter point is if other people can do it, then we should. I argue it’s not worth it, and it’s not the ethically right thing to do. Yes, we’re trying to win a National Championship, and there really aren’t any rules anyway. But I’ll say this. Mark Pope said it himself postgame vs Texas on 1/21: “The NCAA does get to decide who gets to go to the NCAA Tournament. They get to decide that. They have that power. At some point, when they’ve been very clear about what rules they’re going to try and enforce… they might lose in court, but they still get to decide what games count toward the NCAA Tournament.” So now two months later, because you can’t get any high school recruits, you want to do it yourself. Interesting! #2 - I’m not a fan of having an eligibility ruling process for what would be a perceived “star” player on next year’s team. Different situation, but we just did a “take a chance” with a star player in Jayden Quaintance coming off ACL surgery, and look how that has worked out. #3 - I know he has done his part by declining certain contracts or NBA opportunities to try and maintain his college eligibility. But that doesn’t guarantee he will be ruled eligible. And knowing the way the NCAA has treated Kentucky in the past, they could easily set an example to all of college basketball and decline his eligibility if he commits to Kentucky. #4 - He’s going to be demanding Top 10 recruit money. I’m not sure what that exact number is in today’s market, but it’s a hefty price tag. And seeing the way the G League is played, it’s hard to tell if his game would even translate to college basketball. Honestly, today’s college basketball might be harder than the G League. #5 - This isn’t the roster move I would make with the pressure that will be on next season. Spend whatever money you have to get Tyran Stokes to Kentucky. Save whatever money you can for proven superstars in the transfer portal. Then bring back whatever guys want to return, or that the staff believes can help win next season. If it gets to that point and he commits, I’m sure I’ll be able to talk myself into it and get excited about it. But right now, at the ground level, it’s just not a move I would make or one I’m excited about. #BBN #KentuckyBasketball

@ky__update terrible take😂 dudes only a sopohmore playing like he is. with 2 years to develop also playing behind 2 seniors one being one of st x most decorated players of all time….. before u say it yes ive seen him play in person multiple times.

I’m not moved. Just seems good bc he’s out jumping KHSAA players

@BBNWonka this team wouldn’t be able to defend kentucky weslyn

22-9

@WCAthleticDept @DubCHoops does anybody know or have access to the all time record vs bg 👀 @AceGentile25

TALE AS OLD AS TIME... @DubCHoops opens up postseason play with familiar foe, Bowling Green. Winner moves on to Friday night's District Final AND punches their ticket to next week's 4th Region Tournament at WKU's EA Diddle Arena!

@JSpur2026 idk how @WKUBasketball let this kid slip🤦🏽‍♂️ @martincross10 @HankPlona_WKU

Unfinished business!

@Bball_4_Fun @KySportsRadio hurts our program way more than it helps and it’s sad. I don’t believe they are “fans”.

Hey #BBN why don't yall push to Hire Matt Jones. He seems to have all the answers. Pushed out Cal, now calling Pope's recruiting an epic Fail, so the push out is coming next & the AD is rumored to have spoken to him about Coaching change. Just Hire Matt!

@KahlilWhitney come back and go out the right way BBN

Recruitment officially open. With NCAA rules continuing to evolve, I’m exploring all options. Looking for the right program ready to take on the reinstatement process. Let’s work💯

@Update_Kentucky i don’t see 4 guys who started coming back to come off the bench (williams mo jeli and noah) i could see maybe 1 or 2.

My ideal lineup for next season: PG: Lowe (or Hubbard) SG: Pate SF: Chandler PF: Stokes C: Moreno ————————— G: Johnson (or transfer) G: Transfer W: Williams W: Noah W: Hawthorne F: Jelavic F: Dioubate (still like him) C: Transfer

@WizardsMuse1 @KentuckyMBB bring him back i’m sure he’s eligibe

John Wall is back in the gym 🔥🔥 need to see #2 hoop somewhere again

@RyanDay2China also a freshman

lil bro couldn’t even out perform JJ with 4 more games 😂😂😂

@johnnyb859 @rarerookies lol leading scorer of number 1 team in basketball u must be 5

@trendsetta223 @rarerookies Koa peat? Who?

Tyran Stokes doesn't have a timeline for his college decision but he said "it really just depends on how people's seasons go" and he added that he's gonna wait and "see how things go with the portal" before deciding.

@johnnyb859 @rarerookies koa peat and nate ament waited last minute….

@rarerookies Yeah then I don’t want him. Dudes that wait till the last sec, yeah that’s a no for me dawg

@thekyreport quick question why is he still in the portal …..

One name who is still available in the portal is Ryan Forrest. With Joe Tipton saying Kentucky could look to add a PG mid season to help with Jaland Lowe, this could be a name to watch. He already heard from Kentucky back in April when he entered the portal. #BBN

@PolacheckKSR @KSRonX what a joke unc played 6-7 guys the freshman was forced in

NEW: After Kentucky's loss to UNC on Tuesday, Mark Pope says he's looking to expand his rotation. "We probably had a little fatigue on the floor, which I'm going to have to find a way to dig deeper into this rotation to get some quality minutes." FREE: on3.com/teams/kentucky…
