Whitmore might be a top 5 player in this class. Very impressed with his skill and athletic ability.
-
NBA ready tbh
-
Looked it in the recent games. Definitely will play there

Shaedon Sharpe who was the #1 recruit in the 22 class, enrolled at Kentucky for the Spring Semester and will now enter the Draft and stay in. Good grief

Wow that’s the single worst fanbase. Sharpe was expected to do this the entire time.

If Diallo could shoot even slightly it would have happened with him too. I don’t know how they didn’t see this coming.
UK had an open scholarship and figured adding another NBA player to the checkbox was worth whatever they would spend on him. That is their recruiting pitch.

I get the natives are getting restless with recent Calamari results but literally 100 headlines I’ve seen since last fall about Sharpe going to Kentucky early and then going Pro. And he did exactly what he said he was going to do… Hard to get mad about a player who never even put on the Jersey but I guess that’s what they do
-
Wow. Shut down that place.

The other implication also works with the thread tbh haha. Sad sacks.
Need to change their description for the forum.
“Like 4chan but for Kentucky Basketball”

@Kcmatt7 I’m digging deeper, but I’m a history buff. They should honestly edit the thread title though…

That is Mattress Mack, the guy who bet millions on KU winning the title. He owns a furniture store here and ran a promotion where if someone bought a $3000 or more mattress and KU won, you got it for free. He invited Self to Houston to meet the people who got free mattresses because of the promotion.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 so is he a big KU guy? How many bought those?
-
Moral of the story: Don’t sleep on Kansas.
-
Hes planning his next promotion for the Kentucky Derby. He will bet 3 million on the race favorite. Did it last yr and didn’t win but it caused a big stir
-

No connection to KU. He just runs promotions like that several times a year and places huge bets as way to recoup money if the outcome results in a lot people getting free furniture. He’s been doing this for years now, but Gaines national attention in 2017 when the Astros won their first World Series and he had to go to multiple sports books to bet millions on the Astros because of how much money was going to lose in giving away free furniture.

@Texas-Hawk-10 coach Self was there to speak to high school and middle school coaches.

Soory guys, really didn’t know where to put this so just bear with me. - This is just mind boggling to me anyways , hard to conceive but interesting little tidbit.
In the past TWENY Years - - KU’S record at the Phog is 309 - - -& 17 . - -This is even more WOW. In the past TWENTY years KU’S Big 12 opponent’s is 9 - - -& - -130 - - let me say that again. - -In the past TWENTY yrs KU’S Big 12 opponents are 9 - - -& 130 - -that’s just insane. - this is Via Sports Reference

Adrame Diongue announcing today. Has Kansas and Kentucky in his top 5 but neither would take his commitment and I don’t think Kentucky even offered lol.
Washington State or UNLV realistically.

Yeah makes sense. He had an offer from Tech as well but he could NOT commit there.

Elijah Fisher. 5 star SF in the 23 class commits to Texas Tech and will reclassify and play this season. Tape is scary

wouldn’t you think thats kind of a wasted year - - I mean we are approaching the halfway point. - -By the time he gets adjusted to the offensive & Defensive schemes - -at least chances are what 3-4 games - - comfortably anyways. - -just seems like a wasted year

Man things are crazy. Between the way the portal is changing things - & players just up and leaving-- mercy. - - Isn’t he a freshman ?
-
Think he was ending up in his original class. He has played in almost every game this year and is a role player for them right now. He’s going to be good in time I think. Might end up somewhere else down the road too

Strong last couple classes for that.

We’re well on the way to being uber athletic.

Some of these makes from WVU I’m just laughing

Just rewatched highlights of this class coming in. I cannot wait to add 3 dudes who can play above the rim… McDowell has a lot of Vick in him. I do think Johnson is going to struggle to score naturally. But Elmarko could be 18 ppg as a freshman so effortlessly. Has the handles and athleticism to dominate at the college level.
-
Here’s my early views of each.
Elmarko- reminds me of Dotson in scoring aggression in the paint, overall speed, quickness, athleticism at the position. Better shooter then Dot at same stage. 2 years tops likely…
Johnson- Not projecting his career here until we learn how he meshes with being coached by Self. I think that’s a big one tbd. NBA talent is there. If he matures watch out.
McDowell- He’ll play early. I think he’s a dude and he’ll be moldable into a Self guy on both ends. Could be here the longest but could also develop into a star. Really interested to see his progression.
