Remember Zeigler as a freshman? Who is to say Troy Henderson is not good enough to have impact as a freshman??? We don't know. Guards who sit as a freshman usually get in rotation as a sophomore , we have Bishop Boswell as another bench depth who can play and guard 1-3. Amari Evans is another depth bench piece who looks much more physically ready than most freshmen ànd much better defensively than most freshman.... a starting SG & SF are the two most important pieces we need right now

Thats 2 true freshman and a sophomore that barely got any run in SEC play as freshman and well struggled when he did. Having a experienced player that can play 2-3 come off the bench is an important add imo

*UK has now been in serious talks with Rice*

 

[RikidyBones]

We need a Makeamoreshots more than a passmore.

Sure they are lol. Kid is not going there. How many pros has Pope gotten to league and how many has Barnes gotten to league?

48% from 3 will play VERY nicely. Know this is still early stages, but definitely intrigued

 

[nateernst]

Shi never heard of Chaikin but I would love him as a bench sniper, 6'5 with plenty of eligibility

*Edit*: Okay this kid would be a legit steal last 8 games averaged 20.3 points on 30/56 from three (53.6%) yeahhh I'm bought in on the hype here.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Make him the new Gainey

You think he’ll fool us again?

Not the greatest idea in the book to take a player to Keeneland to watch horse racing.

Maybe they were trying to show opportunities for magnifying NIL earnings

Rakease is a headscratcher for me, I mean shoot if he is the 4th best potential addition we get I am all in (Rice, Ament, and Freeman) but if he's coming as a contingency for any of those mentioned I'd be bummed, his stats are horrid.

Do some research on why he played so little as a freshman. He was injured most of the year plus he was also sick a portion of the season. He was a top 50 prospect coming out of high school with a ton of offers.

They list us ahead of Indiana now!

You also have to remember...13 player roster isn't going to have 13 guys playing 20+ mpg

IF we land all these guys I think we'll have 8 - 9 guys flirty with 20 mpg

200 minutes in a game...so even if 9 players all got equal minutes that'd be 22.2 a piece...here's the 9 I think will be playing near 20 (most minutes down to least)
Ja'Kobi
Rice
Freeman
Felix
Ament
Carey
Cade
JP
Passmore

Will get minutes...but inconsistently I think:
Bishop
Evans

Henderson & Brown likely RS candidates who we don't see much this season. I have Ament/Freeman higher because I think both can play the 3/4. Real question will be how fast is JP back up to full speed and will he be able to take minutes away from Carey/Felix.

Do injuries ever come into the equation?

Hearing Villanova leads for Rodney Rice and could possibly commit soon. Fwiw, Josh Hart, former Nova standout and current New York Knicks guard posted a cryptic tweet of a bowl of rice about an hour ago. ?????

Seems legit

 

[EJVOL4LIFE]

Seems legit

Which sux. Hear he was interested in playing PG and obviously that can't happen here. At least not much.

So what have you gathered as far as traction with Chaikin and us?
