Trending in the right direction with Stokes

Well thank god! It only took double digit losses to see change.
Analytics take time to gather data. First five years of Pope don’t really count. After those five years when he uses the data collected … college basketball better watch out!
I would give him 5 million and take 1 less horrible substitution off the bench. Simple
Hot take, I don’t see it out of the realm that Kentucky lands stokes. To me, it would mean that Pope got enough back room support given his bleak outlook and somehow just paid enough to try and grab some momentum. it’s possible, doubtful, but possible. To me long term doesn’t mean much, Pope has a huge issue on his hands with a bad staff I don’t think he’ll remove, lackluster on court coaching, and again pope is still just hitting his average. He’s not a young new
Coach which so many fall into this lie. He’s not young. He’s not new. He’s been doing this a long while.
To me if he landed stokes it would just be about Stokes. Maybe JMI saw the problems and decided, given their bad press, to just buy him. My issue is I don’t think it would ripple, I think it would be a one off. i think Mitch will try and do some thing where and there, as will JMI most likely, to give the perception Pope is doing things at a nigh level when really he’s just mid.

If we can get JMI to just start buying players because of bad press let’s give em hell boys!
I will hold off on getting my hopes up and choose to be pleasantly surprised if he signs with us. Especially after the **** show we’ve seen so far this season.
^^^^this right here boys. I just can’t get my hopes up after how this season has went so I will be pleasantly surprised if he comes here and also would not be shocked to see him go somewhere else.
I will get my hopes up after he gets to campus with a great portal haul. Until then I am not excited.
This. Yet folks here still falling for fake news.
If we are offering double what they are and he hasn’t signed yet, that’s really bad in their era of check chasing.
We paid Oweh more than that, the number one player will certainly get some larger offers.
Good, I’d rather him go be an issue for Carolina.
I’ve never once believed that number. I think Barnhart threw that out because of JMIs failures.
Because they want recruits to believe it. I think JMI gives a range of what they could possibly make and not hard numbers. Agents have said this.
We think we can get you between 1-2 million with our corporate partners.
Recruits want hard numbers. Not projections.
The 22 million is top of all they told people’s range. By this teams effort and attitude. JMI didn’t hit anyone’s top end promise.
A lot of people getting their hopes up from a random person on a message board saying something that is unsubstantiated
That's what the so called "experts" do, come on here with supposed info and at least a third of the time they get it wrong.
which ever players come back, hopefully they will have gained 15 lbs of muscle. We have a woefully bad S&C program.
Geez. Reaching and projecting. Your theories, as negative as they are, aren’t based in fact. Just your wishful thinking.
Just a 100% downer. Hope you aren’t like that off the board.
His mother likes CMP and being from Louisville fully understands the long term benefits of being a UK bball player. Thinks he would be a great role model for TS and he would get great oversight at UK.
I heard that directly from a person close to her.
Tyran Stokes has a chance to change the program like Mashburn/John Wall.
I think he knows this and will be a Cat. If he goes to Kansas he’s just another player. They have players like Peterson. They won’t be drooling over Stokes like us Tucky fans. Yea we had plenty of talent for 15 years. Most of us are dying to see what Pope can do with it.
Maybe hes Hoover or Maggard and gets that great inside info......
Probably Kansas leads but Kentucky could make it interesting with NIL offer. A real doozy
The program and fanbase could sure use a pick me up. Signing Stokes would at least provide some optimism. I think you overpay as needed to get him.
i just saw the update, apparently he prefers kansas, but they are having a hard time getting a deal done
sounds like the collins situation
Update is he ain't coming to KY not matter what.
I have mixed feelings about Stokes. Terrific player, but from what I've read, a disruptive personality. Thoughts?
i mean half of the current team has a disruptive personality, and he's better than all of them
If he's projected as "a disruptive personality" then maybe he's the guy we need. He has to have a thick skin and a get in your face/hold you accountable teammate to play here. We need more of that.
Aww, do you associate clowns with facts? Bless your little heart!
I mean I read on there between $4 million and $6 million- if we have $22 million to spend again, I think you meet in the middle at $5 million and get it done! Don't we all wish now we had just done that for Dybansta or Caleb Wilson?
That leaves you with $17 freaking million dollars to fill out the roster with.
Stokes- $5 million
Collin- $2 million
Malachi- $3 million (because of the threat of the NBA draft)
Kam- $2 million
Portal PG stud- $2.5 million
Portal SG/SF stud - $2.5 million
Jelavic or backup 4 man- $1.5 million
3 & D bench guy- $1 million
Backup PG- $1.5 million
Backup 5 man- $1 million
That's your $22 million right there, not to mention we are also offering rev sharing which gives us another like $8 million I think? Can't remember. Money isn't an object at Kentucky, just get it done.
