Far reach...?
Via Kentucky

5* (top 25 prospect)
Didn’t see the court as much as he would have liked. As a sophomore, he averaged 3.3 points and 2.9 rebounds in 13.7 minutes per game

Virginia.

Virginia twitter doesn’t seem convinced.

Interesting. Heard from people who are usually right about these things that he's a Hoos lean.

Where does UVa twitter think he's going?

Nobody knows, the general speculation is UNC and Virginia, but Virginia people are saying he might not be a fit for Bennett’s system.

Well, given that Bennett recruited SKJ vigorously to play in his system coming out of highschool, I'm thinking SKJ may be okay in his system

UVA and UNC were his top 2 choices behind UK.

I would guess Virginia also

He'll be option 1 there, which is A) the polar opposite of Kentucky, and B) not the case if he goes to UNC.

So....

Sacha to UCONN?

After less-than-stellar results from our recent transfers, we should know better than to put more stock in recruiting ranking than in actual on-court production.

I agree. But we have empty spots in our line up that need to be filled. Take my post as window shopping...

Our main DMV recruiter/assistant coach gets hired the same day as SKJ announces he's transferring. Coincidence? I say yes

Sacha Killeya-Jones de-committed from UVA in June 2015, after his "stock" went up. Rumors were he was heading to UK soon after and 2 months later he was a UK commit. He underwhelmed @ UK. Would Tony Bennett be interested at this point??? While I'd love another long shot blocker, I'd pass on SKJ at this point. Now if Wenyen Gabriel wants to transfer, I'd be more intrigued! He has a lot more talent than SKJ. TBD...
