Class of 2025 G Alex Wilkins (MA) Portal from Furman

Wilkins is taking an official to Kentucky tonight/tomorrow. Just arrived about 45 mins ago. We’ll see what Mark Pope does to fumble this one.

Well he wouldn't start since they got Diallo so that'd be the only hope that he'd pass over them

He would most definitely be the starting two guard if he’s open to that.

Don’t think UK would run him as a starting 2.

Agreed. Money talks however. If he doesn’t land there I’m really not sure where he’s going to end up.

I don’t see how we wouldn’t have the minutes for him here ($$ too). If Moesch earns minutes then so be it but this kid is worth a shot and would still be quicker and more natural at the 1 than playing Tobiason there albeit AT there is really intriguing since he played the 1 for Temple some.

Cross this one off. UK ponied up.

He got a crystal ball from On3 but those things can change in a hurry. KY is his first known visit so that’s usually how it works with them.

It gone but he gone?

Small account so who knows if accurate

If he’s smart, he would come here and start.

Yep. Plus the kid is from Mass. So if you can’t do UConn why not SU?

It was a post from KY's version of "Tyler from Binghamton".

If we could land Wilkins, I’d feel soooo much better about the team next season. That would give us a legit PG and a real high level backcourt with him and Tobiason, and then Doty, 3M and Kiyan at guard and small forward.

Don't get your hopes up...

I takeit you don't like Duel?

I worry that he’s not a good enough offensive player to be the full time PG. It seems like he’s going to be a great defensive player but there’s two sides of the court.

Are we really done at PG, in your estimations?

 

[Cusefan0307]

Don’t get the fanfare with this kid at all. Efficiency is not there. Turnovers are. Either is the defense. Dual is much better at setting people up, defending, and protecting the ball. Sometimes the less s e x y player is the way to go.

Yep. He's staying in the south. Between Kentucky and Alabama right now from what I've heard.

Bingo, it’s what he could be is what is everyone is excited about. But no he wouldn’t definitely beat out Dual for the starting job.

I'm not sure.

Sadly it seems like Kentucky, UConn or Alabama. Do you believe Syracuse is still looking for an upgrade at PG?
