If you’re not able to recruit to Kentucky then you might as well just quit coaching period.

Did Tubby ever recruit super well? Honest question.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

Did Tubby ever recruit super well? Honest question.

Better than he’s given credit for. 20 of 34 Freshmen he recruited were top 100 players. He’s not Cal, but he wasn’t a bad recruiter.

 

[D3Athlete]

Ol’ Dillon Mitchell back in the portal

Don’t even get the idea of addin him to the roster you want. Hard pass

 

[JRVOL11]

looks like JG & Rice got some work in earlier today

Had #1 class in 2004.
Rajon Rondo and Randolph Morris was part of that great class, that never panned out.

 

[McGeesPub]

Had #1 class in 2004.
Rajon Rondo and Randolph Childress was part of that great class, that never panned out.

Randolph Childress played for Wake Forest in the 90s my guy.

Just cause you said that

 

[knoxvol52]

Randolph Childress played for Wake Forest in the 90s my guy.

Well it was a big guy. Let me scurry to get his name.

Randolph Morris was his name. There you go...

 

[TrippieRedd]

Rice visiting Nova, then us this weekend.

This. Tubby was a very good recruiter. If he's pitted against Cal, he'll never measure up, but recruiting wasn't his issue.

 

[Volprofch05]

Rice visiting Nova, then us this weekend.

Ugh, not Willard again

 

[JRVOL11]

Rice visiting Nova, then us this weekend.

ehhh, nervous he might take the more money and follow coach. let’s hope not

 

[Namorto1]

Starting to look good for this player about 38 percent from the three not much of a rebounder. Excellent free throw shooter. We will then have Maryland's backcourt.

Getting Maryland’s backcourt, which was 2nd in the Big 10 and made the Sweet 16 would be incredible. Fill in remaining spots and we should comfortably be in Top 10 next year. Barnes loves NIL.

If he does, he can forget about getting a Christmas card from me, I’ll tell you that right now.

Not Necessarily.. Maryland also had a really good front court. Better than ours is shaping up to be. Need to land Ament to be in the top 10 conversation imo.

I think the issue at Maryland was depth.

 

[Smokey 77]

I feel that we are going to get a commitment from Rice at this coming weekend visit. No way CRB and his playing mate Gillespie let him leave unsigned. JMHO. So, I do not know what the money situation is with Tennessee's NIL. Assuming that we have enough money left to be competitive, I think we need to sign at least two more players; a SF and a power or stretch PF. Another SG would be nice, but Boswell and Evans can probably handle the backup SG position. All of this to set up this question, "Who would you like most for the SF and power or stretch PF signings do you want? Ament, Freeman, Atwell, Folgueiras, or someone else?

 

[Chaz-Vol]

Best friend and roommate >> ex coach who got his job before their sweet 16 game

 

[Ryno14]

I’d hardly say Rondo didn’t pan out. He played many years in the NBA

 

[NighthawkVol]

Randolph Morris was his name. There you go...

Joe Crawford and Ramel Bradley were also in that class…they were the recruits taken over Chris Lofton.

 

[HalfullVol]

Let’s get this done and go heavy for Freeman and Ament. Hearing our budget over 8 million possibly according to latest Basilio blog. Happy to hear we are doing what we need to do to stay in hunt.

I’m down w Freeman &/or Ament but

U just lost any remaining e-cred w the Basilio reference

 

[NighthawkVol]

Think he meant that class as a whole didn’t pan out…as in, didn’t live up to its #1 ranking.

 

[knoxvol52]

Farthest that #1 recruiting class TOGETHER was EE. When expectations were a National Championship.

 

[OrangeInKy]

Haven’t heard Bradley’s name in a long time. Couldn’t stand that dude.
