@SecondTake20 Exactly thank you. Most people in the national media who cover CBB are figuring it out. BBN needs to realize that

PSA to Kentucky fans.
If you haven’t figured it out by now, Jeff Goodman continues to do stuff like this because he knows BBN will respond. More responses means more views. More views means more reach. More reach means more money.
If you want to stop, you have to ignore it.

@CameronWaddle Caleb Holt for sure. Jeremiah Wilkerson no and Christian Collins prolly no
English
After hearing a few “Kentucky would’ve had them if they made them a priority” guys, here’s a team with a few of them…
PG: Jeremiah Wilkinson
SG: Caleb Holt
SF: Kam Williams
PF: Christian Collins
C: Malachi Moreno
Would you rather have that team or the current roster? #BBN

@ReturnOfTheCats you think he even leaves the draft though? Sounds like a guy to me that's willing to eat it in the second round if he gets a guaranteed contract.
English
If Pope lets Pitino or Pat snag this guy it’s gonna be time for some serious conversations

Iowa State sniper transfer Milan Momcilovic dishes on his stay-or-go decision, what he’s looking for in college and what he needs to hear from NBA decision-makers to stay ahead of the May 27 deadline. Kentucky, St. John’s and Louisville are in the mix here.

Not worried about the starting guards and Kam. Worried about scoring 3/4 and the center position if Moreno bolts.

Another guy who agrees with me. UK's backcourt is going to be very very good youtube.com/watch?v=Lb5GXc…

@BlugrassBall I agree. These pieces don’t seem to really fit but they’ll still be good
English
Maybe it’s just bias, but I just don’t get what’s so good about this roster. Certainly not bad, but this isn’t even close to the Floridas and Dukes and Illinois and UConns of the world.
Cam@_TheCardMan
🚨 Louisville’s roster is starting to look complete 👀🔥 Size. Athleticism. Shooting. Depth. Pat Kelsey is building a roster that can compete with anybody in the country. How we feeling about this squad, Cards fans? 👀 #GoCards

@ReturnOfTheCats I think the pressure he’s received this offseason as well as a new boss being hired (who has no allegiance to hiring him) in the new AD will change his tune.
English
People gotta stop making excuses for Pope. I’ve never seen a coach need a GM more. GM’s build relationships with agents and help navigate the final steps of contracts. Kentucky got burned bc of a blindspot in that very area multiple times this spring. No reason to not have one.
English
@mr_pepppp @Burke_Franklin_ The AD is the head coach’s boss I think they have influence in that regard
English
@weedyjdub @Burke_Franklin_ AD’s don’t involve themselves with specific sport personnel or tell head coaches how to run their staff. They hire the head coach and expect them to build winning programs, if not, gone.
English
@KentuckyNet Bro they offered more money and a starting spot to him. Just relax
English
@KentuckyF34638 Not at all 😂 just because we aren’t offseason champs anymore is nbd
English
This roster is one sprained ankle/bum shoulder for one of the main 5 away from being absolutely scary (in a bad way)
Hopefully he’s got one more really nice piece coming but from where 🤷🏼♂️

This is where we stand as of today, BBN! With 3 roster spots remaining, who else will Mark Pope bring in? 🏀 (05/05/2026)

@BRamseyKSR Let the playmakers and everyone else stand around and hit threes. Worked for Mich

Per Synergy, Justin McBride rated in the 96th percentile last season of points per possession in Spot Up situations.
He shot 25-55 (45.5%) from 3 as a Spot Up guy.
His addition continues the trend of Coach Pope adding some analytically friendly shooting for those type of looks.

@BigBlueDylan @BleedBNetwork Please just once Pope. 7’4” is just a cheat code nowadays
English
The next best’ available C according to NXN’s 2027 Top 100, and the last guy we’ll be talking about today.
(#26) 4⭐️ Cherif Millogo. (CA) 7’4 210lb.
Yes, 7’4. I mean the potential here is unreal. Very fluid jumpshot. I’m really impressed with how well he shoots the ball, I mean He’s hitting pull up 3’s in game. He has a Decent handle. The footwork isn’t advanced by any means but it’s good, i mean for 7’4 he’s able to put the ball on the floor and pivot through defenders in the paint. Of course he blocks everything. His hands are solid, Runs the floor well, as his conditioning improves, and he sharpens his tools, you could maybe see Cherif being the most dominant C in this class. He’s steadily risen up the rankings, but has stayed relatively unknown nationally.
Kentucky has reached out here, and despite no official offer yet, I’m told all the staff really LOVES Cherif and his game/abilities. Could see a really hard pivot/push for him in the class of 2027, to replace Obinna Ekezie Jr as C #1.
USC, Alabama, Georgia, BYU, Syracuse, Nebraska, TCU, Washington have all offered early.
What do we think BBN? Of all 4 guys in the thread, who do you think Kentucky should prioritize as C #1 in 2027? Interested to hear opinions, as Malachi Moreno will likely be moving on after next season. UK will need a Center.

Next best C available according to NXN’s 2027 Top 100 Rankings. (#21) 4⭐️ Darius Wabbington. (AZ) 6’11 240lb. Breakdown: Would probably be the best “Mark Pope Center” available in the class. Extremely talented, extremely versatile on offense. Can give you post ups from anywhere in the mid range, has excellent footwork so definitely a reliable post player you can trust to throw it in, and let him work through his moves to get a basket. A great passer who keeps his head up in those post situations and makes great reads/passes off what the defense’s rotations are to his post ups. He commands doubles a lot of times, and usually will make the correct read. This past year you’ve seen him in more 5 out actions where he’s got the ball in his hands at the top of the key making decisions. Has a good enough handle he’s still a threat from the permitter, and a very capable jump shooter not only off the pick an pop, but also off the dribble+catch/shoot scenarios. Great hands. Catches anywhere. Can truly give you old/new school big playstyles. Biggest concern right now is defense. Some legitimate concerns on his ability to switch on Guards, and even at 6’11, admittedly not the strongest shot blocker. Very versatile offensive prospect. High IQ. Will need to work on his defense, a getting a little stronger. Kentucky made contact early last year but didnt keep contact with many C’s due to Obinna, so definitely some ground to make up here. Arizona, Texas, Indiana, Louisville, Washington are the main schools. #BBN #KentuckyBasketball

No troll I’m truly interested to see how this works being Rick Barnes is a “defensively slanted” coach
Jon Rothstein@JonRothstein
I see a four-guard lineup at Tennessee with Hill, Ames, Haralson, Harris, and Lundblade rotating four spots. That's a loaded perimeter with skill, shooting, and depth. The Vols should be a Top-10 team entering the 2026-27 season.

I haven't listened to KSR in over a month
(Needed a breakfrom Matt Jones)
I turned it on for 15 minutes today and had to turn it off
That was all the doom and gloom that I could handle
Is this really what they plan on doing for months?

@KySportsRadio @PolacheckKSR This guy is the worst lol I thought he was actually meeting with a stud in Europe 😂 should’ve known
English
Source tells KSR that Pope is on his way to Israel to meet with a player. @PolacheckKSR is on the scent to figure out who and should have it soon
English
Would have to think a big chunk of Stokes money would go to him if it happened.. what would you do?
