- Kentucky basketball is about to get a visit from Chaz Lanier, one of the best scorers in the transfer portal.
On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe discusses the latest surrounding North Florida Ospreys guard Chaz Lanier. Lanier is taking a visit with the BYU Cougars and the Kentucky Wildcats over the weekend. Can Mark Pope out recruit his former school for the high-profile prospect?
How much will Kentucky basketball look like BYU basketball from a season ago? Can the Wildcats replicate the successes of Pope's final team in Provo while also avoiding their inconsistencies? How different will this year's Kentucky basketball team look compared to what John Calipari did during his time in Lexington?

#Kentucky #UK #UKBasketball - Sport
Make the right choice come to KY. You will PLAY & Be treated like a KING like ALL WILDCATS..KY. WILL WIN SEC & GO FAR in the NCAA.. 🏀🏆
Lately I've been watching replays of the 96 and 98 teams to make sure of what I'm seeing. The big difference between those teams and Cal's teams is that Cal's Cats had glass jaws. They were mostly brittle to the touch. When everything was going their way, they dominated. As soon as an opponent played any defense at all, they would break apart. The 96 and 98 teams were more like Marciano. They could just pummel you and no matter how hard you hit them, they'd hit you back harder. You could never count them out of a game because they would put a run together, lock down on defense, get 50/50 balls and hit the boards. Cal's teams were all wearing bathrobes at the pool next to fat chicks talking about how great skin is all about exfoliating and moisturizing. Night and day difference. Men vs. .... well I don't know whats. That isn't to say there weren't great players but there was almost never a team with a purpose and pride under Cal.
God speed you Mark, I look forward to seeing what you do with the team.
Well said.
Unfortunately being soft is encouraged in basketball nowadays, Flopping and ignorant refs have become part of the game. Kids cant even show PASSION and competitiveness without getting called for some bullcrap
I look forward to the day we talk less about Cal. I understand it and am thankful for his time at UK, but when the season starts, I’m hopeful it lessons. And I know we play Arkansas and that they’re in the SEC, but enough.
😊 Lance, your stats show these players we've signed, they'll be able to make a team come out of the gates after start practice and Coach Pope gets his way going... watch out...BBN CAT'S going to be great... Go Wildcat's Go..🐅's Go...I'm excited..
If We Get Him We Definitely Top Contender in SEC💯 BBN💙
Pope is building a 1996 kinda throwback type team. Can he make magic happen like we did in 1996?
I don’t think that will happen immediately, but I hope I’m wrong about that. I think it is possible that Pope fields a first Kentucky team roughly similar to Coach Pitino’s 1992 team The Unforgettables.
I think eventually Coach Pope will bring in his own version of the 1995-96 Cats. His system at BYU, which he is bringing to Kentucky, is essentially Coach Pitino’s system during his tenure with Kentucky.
@@nickperkins8477 I would love an Unforgettable 1992 team! We had a star and his name was Monster Mash, in 92 correct?
@@jonboyhst6448 basically. Nickname Monster Mash. Name Jamal Mashburn.
@@nickperkins8477 He was the only true Star player we had at that time
I hope we can make the tournament and go pretty far.
I believe UK will have several games this year where the Wildcats will shoot 40 or more 3’s
And miss 30 or more. We ain't getting none these guys he's gonna go to byu with Robinson and they're gonna be a good team
@@Cody-bt5vh...LOL!!!
Dear Chaz, Once you visit UK there is no other place. BBN supports you and we will welcome you with open arms. Coach P, Brooks III, Brad Hart and Coach Cody will get you a title. You are the main man we need to win it all. Pope, I watched him as a 14 year old lead UK to a championship. He knows how to get you to The Promise land. Love from Perú and Go CATS
Cope harder
Go vols 🍊
To me the take away from this is Mark Popes ability to adapt to change bringing what his team looks like.
Look great in UK blue Chaz!
Chaz Lanier is awesome. The big blue nation is in great hopes that he will accept his invite from Pope. Nobody show cases players better than Kentucky with their immense fan base and connections to pro scouts. Pope, with Rick Pitino's classic training, is the perfect home for a player with Chaz Lanier's talents.
If KY gets Lanier and Robinson (if is a big word) Butler at the point Lanier at shooting guard Robinson at small forward Carr at power forward and Williams at center.
Now they signed Almanor who is 6'7, makes it appear that SF Jaxson Robinson isnt going to be @UK since they got a second SF in Almanor.
#CATSCATSCATSLETSGOBIGBLUENATION 💪💯☝️💙💙💙
It feels like BYU is quickly becoming a top 10 college basketball powerhouse.
Let’s go Lanier you will look much better in Blue than that ugly burnt orange jersey. Go Freaking Cats!!!! BBN4Life…
Go Vols!!!
Lanier and Jaime Vinson will be visiting at the same time.
Both come to us 😊 bbn
@@hdhxhebdh...id rather have Lanier and Robinson.
What happened to Walker Horn, and Grant Darbyshire? Will they be returning as walk-on's?
I believe horn is on the team as a walkon
Grant graduated.
Vols!
Sec is gonna be super tough leaguenhas got crazy good. Candy, Ole miss, Georgia, Missouri, no gimmies this yewr home or away. But i dont believe we get any of poplar, robinson, or lanier. But all bottom teams last year has gotten better and some better coaches
No way this team takes that long to pick up on Popes system with so many 4 and 5th yr seniors. Im sure theyve practiced something similar in all those yrs
Defense will be better this year than Ky has had in years
After seeing BYU on his list of visits it's pretty obvious it's a bit of a money move so UK better throw 1.5M because I know BYU will be offering at least a million
You can't compare BYU and Kentucky. Way too many differences and Coach Pope already has more talent than he ever had at BYU. They will get to the line quite regularly..
He is visiting UT on Tuesday. I think it’s a coin flip between UT and UK
Yeah I don’t understand Jamie visiting. To take a depth piece tells me Jaxson is staying in the draft and going all in on Lanier
It the kind of player Pope wanted at #13.
Yea I agree but I don't think they know about Robinson yet. Not 💯 at least. I don't expect Ky to take a commitment from Vinson until they know for sure about Robinson..
@@dj-VOME yeah but going after Chaz and Jaxson with Chaz on a visit Monday and only one scholarship left says he doesn’t feel good about Jaxson unless the freshman wants to redshirt
@@johnnystivers67882 scholarships left. That's a good point on the redshirt though for Vinson. That might be a possibility. But yea it seems like Robinson is leaning towards staying in the draft.
@@kevindeaton1719 yeah with Jamie and Chaz on a visit means Pope would take a commitment from them both we have to land Chaz Jamie is a project player that won’t see a lot of minutes year one. I’m ok not getting Jaxson if he fits pro and I’m sure pope has a good idea of what he’s going to do after just meeting with him
I believe he will be a Wildcat
Damn you Kentucky fans want Everything. After Otega Oweh, Koby Brea, Kerr Kriisa, Andrew Carr, y'all want the best shooting guard in the country after already getting all those other ones.
Uk 😊
The fact that he hasn't actually scheduled a visit to Tennessee, which would come after Kentucky visit, is a good sign for KY. Seems like he is waiting to see how his UK visit will go --- if it goes well, he'll commit and wont schedule a visit to Tennessee. He's a cat
Saving Tennessee for last, not a great sign
He hasn't even scheduled a visit yet. We want to sign him while he's on Campus.
@@dj-VOMEexactly. I think it’s neutral to good that Tennessee is last. Reading tea leaves, it could mean UK is more on his mind than Tennessee is. Sign him while he is there. Mark Pope has proven to be a great closer on the recruiting trail.
Hopefully he’ll just cancel after he comes here. I’ve seen it happen.
@@Sunuvagunner312 me, too.
@@Sunuvagunner312 Can't cancel what hasn't been scheduled.
We won't get Lanier, Robinson, or poplar. I would bet 100$ we get none and that sucks. Need to try for Jalen wells or some other wing.
You base this opinion off of what exactly?
Go big 🍊 why go to kensucky when you can come to kentuckys daddy = Tennessee we beat them in all sports all year long 😅
Except the last time we played. Lol
UK has passion and class tradition and pride. Tennessee i respect due to it being an SEC school but you cant say no to UK for UT or BYU
With Calipari. Dummy
@kevindeaton1719 we where a better ranked team, didn't flop for second year in the tournament like UK and have an all around better culture. that's why you just lost the best couch you have had in decades for someone no one has ever heard off.
@kevindeaton1719 I'm not just talking basketball you had one win in men's basketball as the last game of the season when we already had won the SEC regular season outright and out off playing us in all sports you have 1 win when we beat you in baseball, basketball, football every year for decades. We are kensuckys daddy.
