Class of 2025 G Alex Wilkins (MA) Portal to Kentucky

[JarHeadJim]

Which fan base is going to be more upset when he comes to SU?

 

[SUtoga]

He has a ton of ties here. Played on the same aau team as moesch as well. Gerry recruited him out of hs. I would be surprised, but this would be the big splash we’re looking for.

Do we have a legit chance here?

I want to win games, but you know the recruiting critics will say the big splash is from Furman. So So Evan Miya efficiency numbers.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

MCW is an NIL agent, I'm sure he follows many. Really really reaching here

I know he’s an agent but don’t think it would be odd at all for Wilkins to get a perspective on playing for GMac from a similar type of player. Alas…

 

[granthath9]

I’m intrigued by Wilkins’ potential but it would also be a pull that lets everyone know we are a NIL player. I know it’s not about that but it kinda is.

I was thinking along the same lines.

 

[SUtoga]

I was told a couple days ago it was very unlikely. But it was framed in a way that Kentucky was the overwhelming favorite. He took a visit and we know pope is notoriously bad at that, so who knows what happened.

But other chatters seem to believe it’s possible, but last I heard a couple days ago it didn’t sounds likely. But obviously things change fast, so who knows.

Evan Miya stans are so annoying.

 

[sufan59]

Evan Miya stans are so annoying.

I don’t mind Evan Miya, it matters and gives you a very good idea on a confidence level of game translation for players moving to a different level. But for a freshmen with so so efficiency is a little different than a junior with so so efficiency. My point is that the same people downplaying the Dual pickup with great efficiency numbers will downplay the Wilkins pickup with so so efficiency numbers.

Pope might be breaking records for the worst coach when it comes to portal visits….

 

[TommyA13]

Cross this one off, Pope finally didn’t strike out!

 

[Orangezoo]

Cross this one off

Money must be coming in to try and avoid catastrophe

 

[bnoro]

Welp. Had heard we were locking this down yesterday. This sucks.

 

[granthath9]

Not sure what’s going on but none of its good.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

This blows. Was the kid I wanted them to grab the most.

 

[cusefan88]

Welp. Had heard we were locking this down yesterday. This sucks.

I imagine Kentucky got the number and decided to go way over the top of it.

 

[SUtoga]

Unfortunate, but to be expected when competing in these waters.

Gotta wonder if some of his money goes to Jalen Cox or Daniel Freitag.

It should be but I have a feeling they’re going to go strong for Freeman now.

I don't think this changes anything for Freeman. We had the money for both.

 

[Orangezoo]

UK is in desperation mode and throwing crazy numbers.

I like Freitag

 

[granthath9]

I like Freitag

Both players would be nice grabs. Jalen Cox is a better defender I believe.

Edit: Freitag going to Oregon State.

Not Freitag

 

[Orangezoo]

Cox is a better play anyways.

 

[granthath9]

Cox is a better play anyways.

Agreed.
