Correct, but it's a pretty important season. I'm assuming these guys know Sharron Young, and Sharron Young knows them. Would be big to establish chemistry and roots in Akron for the entire West Virginia crew. Not to mention this team needs experience, and there is no better experience than 2, 3-year big time P5 guys.

According to Professional Zip on X, the 3rd player on campus is from a PAC12 school.

I wonder who the 3rd is. James Okonkwo and Seth Wilson are the first 2. Makes me think these guys are all but committed, and JG just wanted them to visit all at once to make sure the chemistry would be a fit.

😎 Let's go!!!!!

Give the guy a break. He's just happy he can pitch booze, smoking, and sex to recruits again. Quite frankly, BYU fans are probably semi OK with this. The guy never won a tourney game and finished 5th or lower in the conference 5+(?) times.

But he can prove he bleeds blue blood at the Kentucky fan cult meetings.

Ali Ali would've benefitted from a redshirt, though. He played in 31 games, averaged 11 minutes per game, and 1.1 ppg. He was extremely raw but Groce played him because his height and length created matchup problems for other teams. His movements his freshman year were similar to what I saw in Brisco's film - not as smooth/refined. Ali Ali was still growing into his body IIRC. Brisco might be as well? I'm not saying Brisco couldn't help this team immediately as a freshman. I just saw that video and thought a redshirt year might benefit him and us more. He's a similar size to Baker and I think Baker might be more smooth/refined from what I remember of his high school tape (and he took a redshirt).

He's aware this is Bobby Hurley, not Dan Hurley, correct? Or did they offer him enough NIL to make him not care about the Crazy Hurley?

He has redshirt written all over him. He reminds me of Ali Ali. Very raw but you can tell he "gets it".

Fredrick King - 6'10" 250 lbs Center from Creighton - has entered the Portal. He's from the Bahamas. I wonder if Sammy Hunter would put a good word in for us if he were to be a target of this staff.

Agreed. I figured with Dawson transferring, we would at least have 1 announced commitment this week.

His dad made the wrong school choice. He has a chance to right the ship in the family bloodline. Come to Akron.

Scott Drew is way too good of a person for Kentucky. My wife and I honeymooned in Waco a few years ago, and our Fixer Upper tour guide (along with several other people) raved about how terrific a human being Scott Drew is. I hope he stays at Baylor.

Beat out Ohio and Temple according to 247.

There was a Kentucky fan on Facebook complaining about the players entering the Portal before a new coach was hired, and saying that part of Kentucky's problem was the players playing for Coach Cal instead of Kentucky. I laughed. Kentucky fans are absolutely delusional.

They're gonna launch a t-shirt cannon at his doorbell.

Society needs to stop with the death threats towards players. Way too much of this going on.

This looks beautiful. Well done.

Julius Rollins has entered the Portal. Bummer. Another Balls player and another Miami player in the Portal as well.

Not Kentucky?

Jim was the Associate Athletic Director - he was not an assistant coach. It was the weirdest coaching arrangement I've ever seen. Was JC on the bench during the rap video incident? Or is the Pinky Circus about to get wild again?
