I think if it comes down to Watkins or Mitchell it has to be Watkins. Man is this a fun offseason.
Watkins and a PG, and the rest is gravy.

Best player availableThere's been a lot of talk about Watkins entering the portal here for weeks, but it does not mean we are necessarily in the drivers seat for him. Anyone would want him, there will be a lot of competition.

We're recruiting over guys we haven't even signed yet!You get him up from the weekend NIL retreat, duh.
So this is what it is like to be the popular kid. Everyone wants to sit with you at the lunch table. Soon we will have to give out a secret code just to narrow down the list.
We are…popular!
The "threat" (lol at the phrasing) of Jamir being a target could also make Ian/Sellers/Mitchell more likely to commit sooner than later as well.I think there's 2 ways Watkins still being a priority target here would make sense.
1) Jackson isn't quite a done deal yet. Trilly said this morning that Jackson isn't locked in yet and his recruitment is more open than people think. It's also been said he's asking for a ridiculous NIL figure.
2) The plan if we miss on Lee is to go PG by committee with Watkins, Jackson, Sim all playing minutes at point. None of them are close to being true points but all have either some experience playing on the ball or have the tools to theoretically be able to handle it for stretches.
The next 7 days might be wild
Yeah, nutty to overplay your hand imo. Lock up Jackson, Sellers and Mitchell & get a PGBest player available
No Wagner consideration if he enters portal Mug? Not ideal, but could it be functional?I think there's 2 ways Watkins still being a priority target here would make sense.

And Durand JohnsonI’m young enough to remember getting excited about Ron Mouvika…
I've never been a fan of his but think his size and defensive ability would make him the best realistic option if we miss on Lee. It's possible his perception is slightly down due to Calipari misusing him for a good chunk of his time there, but he would need to really cut down on the hero ball possessions and ridiculous shot selection for him to really work here. He has some of the negative parts of RJ's mindset when it comes to that. I think Pitino sees similar which is why he's chosen to pursue Lee over him at this point.No Wagner consideration if he enters portal Mug? Not ideal, but could it be functional?
