How many scholarships do they have?

I think the average number of basketball scholarships per team are 13, Kentucky is permitted to field 24 but carry 48.

So, Anselem is an "if all else fails" contingency for Calipari... Nice. Nice 'luxury' for Kentucky to have. Kinda sucky for Frank to be a 'break glass in case of emergency' player. I think he'd be a tad bit more valued here... Just sayin'.

Sure but we've seen this time and time again. It generally doesn't matter in the end. As long as Kentucky ultimately says they want him, that's generally enough.

Obviously hope we win out here though.

Feels like 47, there on pretty much every recruit. I expect them to pop under Jalen's name shortly.

 

[dasher]

How many scholarships do they have?

as many as they need or can use

Cal will move onto Sarr

Nailed it

Interesting convo over on the UK forum regarding Anselems handler that has been helping with his recruitment. I dont recall seeing the interview they are referring to but apparently made some comments about being better then Isaiah Jackson. Rubbed some people the wrong way and some dont like his handler.

I bet his handler and his mom are the same person......

 

[Cusefan69]

“Handlers”...a “players camp”...aspects of recruiting that I will never understand completely and yet every time I see it referenced I just smh...don’t hate the players, hate “the game”...

That's gross.

sick mind!!!

 

[Cusesky8214]

using Frank as backup insurance?

 

[Orangefan1]

So this guy is going to wait around to see if Kentucky has a spot for him?

I think they have one spot to fill right now. Its between Williams and anselem. Not sure which one is the higher priority. I would think Williams but who knows.

At this point Anselam would be joining an even more crowded frontcourt than he would at SU. Stiffer competition as well.

SH I think has 1 scholarship left. If this kid picks them then that's one less in the frank picture...however I think hes already down to 2 schools from the sounds of it anyways. And one of them is UK.

Unless VC has it wrong, Kentucky has 2 open scholarships left for 2020. They have six freshmen commitments and 3 incoming transfers (Toppin, Sarr, Minitiz) coming in. They have returning scholarship players (PG Ashlton Hagans, SG Dontae Allen and SF Keion Brooks). They also have several redshirt walk-in players that are 2*. What a way to run a team and plan for the future (guess there is no need to just play each year like there is no future.)

ACTUALLY, VC DOES HAVE IT WRONG, KENTUCKY ONLY HAS 1 SCHOLARSHIP OPEN,
I needed to do higher math to figure this out. I only have a minor in Math, so it took me longer to deduce this.

You have to have people who know what is what in the game. We work with a guy who knows what is what in the college soccer world. With my son transferring this year, he has been able to reach out to coaches he knows to help him find a landing spot. Is he a handler? IDK. Is he helpful? Absolutely. We have phone calls with Pitt and Marshall coaches coming up. My son is not a highly sought after, nationally known recruit, and it is for soccer. I can't imagine dealing with this as a parent or teenager when suitors are pounding at the door.

I prefer to think of it as juvenile.

What you described is not a handler. A handler is someone who has control of the entire recruiting process and will steer a kid to the school of their choosing for their own reasons. You described a recruiting specialist. There are services on Twitter that openly advertise. I'm sure it's not cheap but if it gets a kids tape into the right hands, it's a worthwhile investment.

So the difference is who pays the person and how they receive the money, because only Cusesky8214 would do any of that for free...

Handlers are Agents in a free market.

Trust me I've tried like heck to get us involved with Vlad...its actually not on our end. His coach has his recruitment shut down "1000% shutdown" according to him and TT still has like 15 or 16 on the roster without including him...and they are still recruiting Kuminga to try and reclass to 2020...I hope whatever promise Beard made to the Putnam coach is legit because theres still a ton of moving parts that have to work themselves out for Vlad to get a scholarship spot. It's a very strange recruitment and theres very little talk on TTs end regarding him. Literally no one else has recruited this kid. It will be interesting to see how it works it. Maybe it does...idk but if it doesnt then this kids coach is a absolute Jerk the way he handled this 4 star 7ft recruit that would have had tons of options to at least look into. We arent talking like 1 spot they need to shed it's a few...I would expect if it's going to happen for him then there should be some movement happening pretty soon to make room.

 

[Cusesky8214]

think they prematurely left UK off...so maybe down to 5?
