No, it was somebody on Twitter making a joke.

Not as bad as it would be at first glance because he was shooting 5.2 threes per game. FWIW, his shooting numbers mirror team mate Jayden Epps numbers -- Epps played at Illinois and averaged 9.5 points as a freshman.

A $500K difference for one year of college would cover a couple of full years of Europe ball.

Anyone else look at when certain poster's names pop up on a thread to see what info they have? Mack played his freshman year at Harvard and put up big numbers. Last year at Georgetown average 12.9 pts/3.6 ast/4.3 assists. Hasn't entered the portal yet, so if he does that would be interesting.

I know if it were my kid, I'd be telling him to take the bigger bag. He's only going to get one big college payday.

I feel like we are on watch right now for both Wilkerson and Conerway. As far as I've heard, Conerway doesn't have any other visits set up.

On3's Jack Pilgrim (a UK analyst) says that Wilkerson is leaving this evening and will be talking with family and weighing his decision between the two schools and will announce this week. This was posted 9 minutes ago, so I would say he isn't making a decision tonight. https://www.on3.com/teams/kentucky-wildcats/news/lamar-wilkerson-cuts-list-to-two-will-make-commitment-this-week/

Real good one enters -- and he's an all name team one: Xzayvier Brown, St. Joe's 6'2" guard. Two years eligibility left. 17.6 ppg, 5.2 rpg, 4.6 apg. Shot 42/35/90. Over two seasons has averaged 15 pts, 4.6 reb, 3.8 ast, shot 44/38/86.

This is what Evan Miya is putting at the 'valuation' of the players added via the portal, not what has actually been paid. Iowa pretty much has had a full rebuild with a lot of spots being filled by transfers from Drake. FWIW, Bennett Stirtz's valuation is off the charts (on On3, he has a valuation North of $2 million). But there is no way that Iowa paid that much......rumor was their offer to Dix was only $1 million and Iowa doesn't have big NIL. Personally, I also happen to think that Stirtz is going to show some struggles this upcoming season when he faces Big Ten competition game after game.

So is his commitment to Kentucky dead as well since he left there without committing?

Yohan Traore, SMU, 6'11" center. Ranked 24th in class of 2022. Played freshman year at Auburn, back end of the rotation, 10 mpg/2.1 ppg/1.4 rpg. Sophomore year at UCSB, 14.5 points, 5.1 rebounds.

Transferred, redshirted 21-22, averaged 11.5 points at LSU in 22-23. Played last two years at Arizona State. Averaged 12 points in 23-24, 9.8 points in 24-25. Career 39/34/79 shooter but had his best year shooting last year with 45/43/76 splits. Initially ranked 35th in the class of 2020.

‘The Janitor’ on Twitter stated that Wilkerson had committed

Was it an account that had existed for 5 years? A lot of guys out there that call themselves 'insiders' just read message board fodder and post what someone else has said. Others create accounts and post guesses and spout them as 'knowledge' and when it turns out to be false, just create a new account. I believe the one you are referring to that 'knew' DDV was the coach is the same one that said that Wilkerson had committed to IU on Saturday......which wasn't true.

The UK Twitter post that was posted was someone with 53 followers.

The NCAA guidance has simply said that they are giving JUCO players an additional year this year while the courts settle it.

He’s not a two year player. He played JUCO prior to Troy. One year eligibility left.

Better hope haas wasn’t with that horse previously

I mean, if you are asking to see a real white whale.....

*rezips pants* damn it.

It’s been under 1 month and you are talking 4/5 years?

If there were true, then Josh Dix is a Hoosier.

It’s not just about PT….it’s about offensive role.

The Twitter account that said UK is getting a visit.
