PJay Smith, Furman, 6' guard. 17.6 pts, 4.1 reb, 3.9 ast, shot 43/41/86.

Nothing official released from him yet, correct? Trilly crystal ball + 247 photo in gallery. Do we know who uploaded the pic?

Love the optimism but we still need to see how the low/mid transfer ups fare.

He's not as quick as Reynolds but he likes to play into contact.

Tayton Conerway is 100% a guy with intangibles and a glue guy. Rebounds well for his size, distributes, gets to the rim and is a + defender. You don't need everyone to be a knock down shooter. He provides a lot of good things.

Awesome! Dude's portal ranking is waaaayyyyy too low.

An allegedly bad year to be his alleged girlfriend.

Don't know anything about Justin Bailey, but I always like getting an assistant that was an associate head coach. Shows that where they were at felt highly about them.

A.J. Storr may drive Chris Beard to drink....more.

Enright, G Wilkerson, G DeVrie, F Sisley, F Bailey, F/C Current roster.

Looks like my thought that Wilkerson didn't want to tell UK 'no' to them while on their campus turned out to likely be correct. Also think we can put to rest the 'if a guy leaves campus without a commitment, he isn't committing'.

General feeling over at Rupp Rafters is that it sucks to not get him.

To be fair, Reed Bailey also has some big boys wanting him. Might not have been at the same level, but Kentucky contacted Bailey.

I'm going to put it at 2.5.....so two guys and an Archie Miller sized person.

Conerway is a player I would like to see play for IU. He's an imperfect player -- really funky jump shot -- but has a lot of toughness that gets him to the rim on offense + he's a bulldog on defense.

Rabby just confirmed that Original Sin may or may not be a good watch, could go either way.

One random doesn’t mean anything thought…..if Wilkerson left without committing but narrowed it to IU and Kentucky, perhaps he didn’t want to give them a no to their face.

Oh great, another one of these posters.

Although he didn't shoot it particulary well in those games, Jasai Miles averaged 12 points and 6 rebounds against P5 competition last season (South Carolina, Georgia Tech, Georgia, Nebraska, Florida).

Dude, he covered Kentucky football and basketball for Kentucky Sports Radio and wrote a book on John Calipari.

He's probably saying 'hey guys, can you give me some information? Please?'

This is the same Aaron Torres who tweeted out Wilkerson's name as 'Lamar Wilkers'. https://x.com/Aaron_Torres/status/1911940031716942204

When looking at low/mid major guys and how well they will transfer athletically, it's always good to look at their rebounding totals. Guys that are plus rebounders at low/mid levels will translate athletically. In the case of Miles, 6.8 rebounds/game for a 6'6" kid is very nice. While he shot 34% from three, he did it on a ton of attempts (7.3 per game). While his overall shooting percentage was 42.5%, when you throw in the adjustment for threes his effective percentage was 52%. Inside the arc he shot 55%. Also has two years of eligibility left. Have to keep in mind as well that there isn't much difference between college 2's and 3's today. There is no reason that Wilkerson and Miles -- at 6'5" and 6'6" -- can't be on the floor at the same time. Always nice to have players capable of playing more than one spot. I mean, if you just go off of where a team lists a player's position then North Florida's rotation was 6 guards and 2 forwards. Miles is a small forward than can be a 2 or 3.

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.
