Recruiting 2019

[pdub]

Force out per usual.

[MICHHAWK]

He graduated and still has 2 years of eligibility remaining. He wants to see if he can get an opportunity to contribute to a school while he works on his masters.

He wants to see if he can play.

[randylahey]

Brad Calipari apparently entered into the portal now.

I don't get it.
Any idea/s why? Other than playing time at a small school.
Kid is not ever going to get paid well to play pro basketball. Why leave a good thing?

maybe for love of the game? hes not going to be a pro. why not go somewhere where he can actually play while he is still in college

Mich and Randy - Makes sense. I'm nothing more than a casual Kentucky basketball follower so I don't know the circumstances why he didn't play last season. I do recall him playing other seasons.
I guess he figures he's had his 4(?) years at Kentucky and it's time to move on - and go somewhere that he can still play basketball. Me - I would rather play spot minutes for a national championship contender that my father coaches and not have to do anything other than maybe take a class or two - than go to a small school where I can play more minutes - but I'm not him. Shame he didn't win a Naty with his father. Actually, to me it's really not such a shame.

Moving on from Brad don't call me Tyler Self Calipari........

I'll admit I haven't read through this entire thread.
Anybody know if there are any foreign guys Self & company have looked at that can possibly come in and contribute some? I'm assuming we'll be just fine but figure the more the merrier.

Nah. I get the impression we aren’t getting anyone else. The self magic wore off on this recruiting class. Wish we would of just got one shooter.

N'Faly Dante is s possible 2019 addition. He is currently in the 2020 class but is considering reclassifying. He is the real deal. Strong rim protector that we haven't seen since JoJo.

Having 20 fouls to give will be nice.

While I would love to have him I seriously doubt it man

Braun is probably our best shooter next season. This video is a little tedious, but gives a good look at Braun and his game.

I know I've been pounding this drum, and I could be wrong, but I think he plays more like a Top 50 recruit next year than top 100.

If he can hit spot up jumpers from doubles on Doke or sags on DD and not get completely embarrassed on D then I’m sold lol

thanks for sharing that

[shindig]

It will be nice to have a local kid that can play right out the gate and stick around for 4 years, kind of like Gurley. I miss those teams

[twocoach]

It would be nice to have any warm body that can hit a three at better than 30%

This. I know these guys are putting in the work but I have never seen a team shoot so bad from 3 like last years team did especially on the road. It was also discouraging to go from Svi, Dtae, Vick and Newman to watching brick after brick.

That is the biggest concern I have for next year. Teams sagging off and clogging up the lane and daring perimeter jump shots.

[twocoach]

Kyree Walker and/or Jalen Wilson would be huge additions to what we have. Running out of legit options to add.

[Sparko]

Spot shooters needed, but since Galindo we have had several who can’t hang with a Self toughness mentality.

Rivals believes Wilson is ours. We shall see.

Add Josaphat Bilau to the list of Spring additions to the 2019 class. 3* 6'10" PF from NC.

Adding 2-3-4-years BIGS is a good use of extra scholarships.

[TDub]

Dude has academic questions tho. Like 6 high schools in 3 years
