i know boat was the def facto "SG" alongside shabazz, so nowell isnt too small to play off ball either. i just dont think we'll need him to given our personnel next season. mainly b/c i'm thinking that liam and stew are both starting and going pro (which i'm thinking due to the fact we're recruiting bundalo as our starting PF in 2026):

Diarra 25 / Nowell 15
Liam 25 / Aidan 15
Stew 15 / Ball 15 / Ross 10
Alex 30 / Stew 10
Reed 20 / Samson 20

30: Alex
25: Diarra / Liam / Stew
20: Reed / Samson
15: Nowell / Aidan / Ball
10: Ross

I’d be really surprised if Aidan only plays 15/mpg.

Liam is going to be a lotto pick so whose minutes is Mahaney cutting into? you can give him some PT at PG but then people will say there's no way Nowell is only playing 10mpg. Ball is already at his bare minimum for projected PT. you could take 5 mpg from Ross but then people will say no way Ross only gets 5mpg...

Nowell is such a baller. Nobody is taking a spot from him.

You don't get ranked 33rd in the country by accident. He's shorter than our current targets but stronger (by far) than all the guards we're after.
 

Teaming Up with Acaden Lewis?​

Caleb Wilson raised a lot of eyebrows over the weekend with a certain tweet directed at four-star guard Acaden Lewis. After Lewis cut his list to four, including Kentucky, Wilson tweeted“come on over bro” while still on his official visit.


Wilson got close with Lewis over the summer while playing in the SLAM Summer Classic at Rucker Park on Aug. 21. They’ve talked about a potential package deal.

“We definitely would love to play with each other in college,” Wilson said. “It doesn’t necessarily have to be Kentucky, but that’s one of the few schools that’s recruiting both of us at a high level. I’d love to play with Acaden in college and Kentucky is recruiting us both, so it would be really cool, if possible.”

Ross. We have tons of talent. But I doubt we’re going 10 deep in double figure minutes. I’m also not in Stewart is going pro contingent and don’t see him playing 25/gm.

Then someone needs to tell Hurley to stop recruiting bundalo since we’ll still have stew and Abraham at PF next season

I think Stewart is going pro, but even if he doesn't there's plenty of minutes between the 3 and 4 for all of Stewart, Abraham, Bundalo

What does Bundalo have to do with Stewart? Bundalo is a 4.

Stews going to be our backup 4 this year and would be our starting 4 next year if he’s back

Nowell / Mahaney / Ball / Stew / Reed

If bundalo can play C that would solve everything. Otherwise Abraham would have to accept being a 3rd string F again

Nowell / Lewis*
Mahaney / Adams*
Ball / Ross / Abraham
Stew / Bundalo* / Abraham
Reed / Singare

I agree with most of that potential roster, but it's so early to try and predict any of this. So much will change before next season happens, and I don't think we should stop recruiting top recruits. Part of being a top program is having good players who have to fight for minutes

I doubt anyone knows this years lineup right now, including the coaches. Idk how we are talking about the following year . Plus interesting starting Ball at the 3 lol
Expand ...
Like he did last year when castle was out? Hed be a third guard or wing not a traditional small forward. Most teams start three guards these days. Plus those five would clearly be our best players

Bundalo not a traditional 5, he’d be a stretch 5. Staff is putting a ton of effort into Reibe right now for a reason, looks to be their priority. Would make sense as the only true 5 on their radar.

I’d say current priorities:

Reibe
Mullins (fill in behind Liam, best shooter in class)
Thomas/Lewis - on ball guys
Bundalo
Adams

Guys like Zanetto think it’s a given we get 3 of these, I’m honestly not so sure as all have a number of suitors in play.

i think thats a fair priority ranking honestly

I hope that Adams re-entering the fold again seemingly with a visit is not the staff reading tea leaves on other 2 main guard targets likelihood. I fear this more because after Greer went (i think without offer but with scheduled visit?) maybe they are slightly expanding net to plan b, as waiting for main targets is high risk high reward ( i know Adams is a 5 star). I think we continue to shoot big or just go portal when all is said or done, even if we go 0 for 5.

Lol - I can’t argue that. I collate the tidbits from the variety of sources and try to make some sense of it, Zanetto being one of the least credible. His name would sound amazing as an Italian chicken dish, that I give him.
 
he works hard but lets his enthusiasm or something like that get to him.
