This is blowing up...haven’t seen anything on Rafters lately, but there was some talk on Twitter last night

Was right about AF leaving completely, a week before he announced he was off to UVA. EDIT: Last Month

 

Fans literally speaking this into existence would be the funniest thing. I want Keion to just do it for the hype at this point.

Meh, on April 7th he tweeted "you would think that Race and Armaan are gone, why else wait this long?"  So am doubting that on March 23rd he had information that he wasn't even sure of two weeks later.  Also never tweeted any predictions of the Xavier Johnson or Tamar Bates so I'm doubting any inside information.

IU has an offer for Miller Kopp and we're in his final three.  Keion Brooks has had over a month to join the portal if he wanted to.

Like I said before, it’s probably nothing, but interesting to see and look at

Brooks has been tied to IU for quite some time now. He wanted the glitz, glamour and fast-path to the NBA at UK...didn't pan out. He could use a change of scenery as well, IMO. Personally, I'd welcome him with open arms. Fills out our roster almost perfectly.

I've never seen anything about Brooks even entering the portal so I'm not sure why he's even considered an "option."

Imo, that’s what we need. Now we wait and see if they add Kopp. Swider would have been nice in this role.

Solely based on numbers.. Kopp has more than out performed Swider. 

I dont really see any way we need another 5, we have 2 guys that can play that position well and 6'10 240 on the way (guessing that will be his FR measurements). I would have been very happy with Swider, as well.  

The need was stretch 4. A player that can you cannot leave or help a ton off of. Kopp fits that.  Kopp can also guard other stretch 4s.

You're completely disregarding "fit". It matters sooooo much. Kopp, on paper, fits. 1 week ago I said we needed a Zeisloft and Hartman to round out this roster.  We got Bates and hopefully Kopp.. absolutely perfect imo.

He's also a career 85% FT shooter

+ 1

We only have one slot left and we seem to still be recruiting. We can't even talk to KB right now.

I think the TJD tweets are more just a general "coach is still recruiting" than "I know KB is coming".

I would have been excited if it had happened, but does not look good.

[ap2345 10,237]

Miller Kopp is the top option. Still not buying the ketchup talk. 

[yogisballin 2,408]

there was an unconfirmed rumor that he wanted to go to IU or didn't like being at UK, but if he did, he would already be in the transfer portal 

Yeah, I just do not seeing it happening. Just as simple as you have stated here

I’d love to have Kopp but based on what he has said about all 3 schools. I think he’s leaning Utah or Oregon st. It was the comment about the pac12. Can’t remember the exact words

This is the final puzzle piece that they should be doing everything to pry away from the East coast.

He and TJD being able to guard the middle and, if TJD develops an outside shot with CMW,  interchangeably stepping out and hit a long 2 or 3, would be a floor spacing delight.

 

 

 

These highlights are mouthwatering. But I must say against some summer rec ball level defensive efforts.

Strangley not a peep on what he is thinking since entering the portal over a month ago. I mean no where, no tweets, no articles. Whatever he is doing or thinking is on lockdown.

Kopp picks IU

Will that drop 20% now that he's a Hoosier??

I hadn't really liked the one-time transfer rule when I first heard about it, but I think it's actually going to benefit us quite a bit. IU is a big-time basketball program. If Woodson can get things going again, we're going to be a very attractive destination for portal kids. Heck, he's already doing a great job with it. Sure we might lose some guys every year, but I think we will get more from the portal than we will lose. If you have an off recruiting year the portal provides a chance to make up for it.

Were the exact words on the Pac 12: "The Pac 12 stinks - Go Big 10!" - :)
