Is it possible that Jasper in '24 would be too much of a good thing?
Is it possible that Jasper in '24 would be too much of a good thing?
It’s his shooting and strength that are deficient, he has to work on his game. What was his three point shooting percentage in the tournament?He barely got off the bench for Team USA ...
I can just give a comparison but his number they are wanting NIL wise isn't that far off from Kasparas ...
He recruited a bunch of great guards, just couldn't land any of them.Groce was the one to start recruiting Ayo, so give him some credit.
Kentucky is 3rd at best for Jasper as it stands today ... And may even be 5th if it weren't for the hometown kid thing ...
He and family were not impressed with Pope on the visit ...
He looked a cut below the other backcourt options on that team for. JJ was much more effective and would be 100% more ready to play this year than JF. I like Fears long term, but his shooting looked shaky and his defense was very gamble heavy at this point.
The D reminded me of the early Underwood teams here, lots of turnovers forced and lots of scrambling to contain free drivers when no turnover came.
You’re always right. I say you can add that he needs to get Fletched!He's a small guard ... 6'2 in shoes ...
His shooting from deep has really, really fallen off this spring (20%) ... Think he's like 40% from the field ...
He doesn't like to play defense and he's not big enough right now to play defense against HM guards ... Especially these COVID year guys ...
And so far this spring/summer he's averaged more turnovers than assists ...
Now - I still think the kid can be a good player but none of those numbers scream I'm ready for HM basketball right now ... And they definitely don't scream anywhere near the asking price NIL wise ...
They scream to me he needs another year of development at the HS level and then more development once he gets into college ... Probably a multi year guy ...
But that's just my 2 cents ...
He’s ranked #38 in class of 2025, per 247. Any idea what ranking he’ll have once he reclasses to 2024? It sure won’t be in line with the kind of money he’s asking for.He's a small guard ... 6'2 in shoes ...

Best freshman class in the country?
I remember saying that no one in the conference would have a better core group than our Nunn, Hill, Black trio.If we want to be mature about it, JCL was basically exactly what Fears is.
Groce brought a lot of talent to Champaign, not as much as he should have and he couldn't do anything with the talent he had, but it was there.
He’s ranked #38 in class of 2025, per 247. Any idea what ranking he’ll have once he reclasses to 2024? It sure won’t be in line with the kind of money he’s asking for.
We will likely have to see how the freshman look but if Kasparis is as good as advertised he will be better than what I saw from Boswell at Arizona.If you listen to the Sleepers guys it could all be a sign that Boswell isn't the solution this year. It seems pretty obvious they heard the Fears rumor.
Along those lines...just curious...He’s ranked #38 in class of 2025, per 247. Any idea what ranking he’ll have once he reclasses to 2024? It sure won’t be in line with the kind of money he’s asking for.
His .9871 composite would put him 35th in 24.If he winds up top 50 in 2024 class I will be shocked ...
Not saying Ayo would have come here with Groce at the helm. But I think being his second offer (and first real offer) was good.I can't tell if you're being serious or not ...
There is a 0% chance Ayo was coming here with Groce as HC ...
Pope lasts 3 years or less. Kentucky won't stand for what is happening.Kentucky is 3rd at best for Jasper as it stands today ... And may even be 5th if it weren't for the hometown kid thing ...
He and family were not impressed with Pope on the visit ...
Can we not say that? It makes me wanna throw up.Can you say Fab5
Can you say Fab5
It seems apt. Both teams got paid a fair amount to play.Can we not say that? It makes me wanna throw up.
Cinco Sensacionales?Can we not say that? It makes me wanna throw up.
Well he can get his bag for one year then portal to the Illini!You’re always right. I say you can add that he needs to get Fletched!
I hate it for the kid and all the players that may take the wrong decision and turn. He and guys parents need to be careful because the wrong school and system can cost him millions in the draft later.

Hey… who would’ve thought Coleman Hawkins would’ve commanded $2 million back when everyone laughed at AJ Storr wanting one million. The price tags are skyrocketing daily, so you don’t necessarily have to be on the wacky weed to toss out an absurd number hoping someone will bite.
Appreciate the scouting report! If the Fears camp wants Kasparas money, his handlers must be smoking something good…
I'd rather drop that money on a proven player at the college level.Hey… who would’ve thought Coleman Hawkins would’ve commanded $2 million back when everyone laughed at AJ Storr wanting one million.
