There is a higher skill level to Brandon Garrison's offensive game than I originally realized. His film is pretty impressive and his upside is HIGH.

Legitimate shooting threat out to 18-feet. Good turnaround jumper.

This is him working against one of the best defenders in CBB.

Brandon Garrison showed some flashes as a freshman at Oklahoma State that get you pretty excited about the future.

He is skilled in the post. Great patience for a young big man. Comfortable with the crab dribble, gets to the midline, finishes with his left hand.

Love this!

Elijah Hawkins was a potential point guard target for Kentucky, but he has committed to Texas Tech.

One of the best playmakers in the transfer portal, but a deep position with several other candidates for the 'Cats to shift focus towards.

Already another Wooga Poplar update as now it is being reported that he is looking to visit Kentucky.

This would be an excellent piece to add to the backcourt and would provide a LOT of shooting ability.

Wooga Poplar averaged 13.1 points per game and shot 38.5% from 3 on 62 makes.

Kentucky has reportedly reached out.

Brandon Garrison is REALLY effective on the roll. Moves very fluidly for his size. Great hands + feet.

Consistently rolls to the open space, doesn't just roll for the sake of rolling.

This is a TOUGH catch & finish w/o needing to dribble. Shows his athleticism. Good w/ left too

There is a higher skill level to Brandon Garrison's game than I probably realized.

-Makes the mid-range jumper enough to respect it.
-High % finisher with either hand over either shoulder.
-Very capable passer.

The more I watch the more I REALLY like the fit. True two-way 5-man

In my opinion, the only 'big' misses out there right now for Kentucky would be not landing Great Osobor and not landing Jaxson Robinson.

Don't really buy reports Osobor is 'out' while he is literally on campus, but it would REALLY stink to not ultimately land him.

He's a stud.

Brandon Garrison has committed to KENTUCKY!!!

6'11' 245 pound center is a former McDonald's All-American and started 29 of 32 games as a freshman at Oklahoma State.

Averaged 7.5 ppg, 5.3 rpg, & 1.5 bpg. High percentage finisher with a lot of upside.

As I have stated a few different times over the last week or so, I always thought it made sense that Great Osobor would end up taking all of his visits.

His head coach from Utah State, Danny Sprinkle, is at Washington. Likelihood of cancelling that was low.

Due diligence.

One of the most exciting parts of breaking down film on Andrew Carr is how easily you can envision much of what he did at Wake Forest translating specifically to Coach Pope's offense at Kentucky.

Amari Williams' passing ability pairs well with Carr's cutting ability.

We are getting another HUGE week of roster-building started off this morning and there is a nice, juicy update over on KSBoard to get your Monday rolling if you didn't stay up late last night.

Two big time visitors on campus + other potential decisions looming.
