Pope adds Amari Williams (Drexel University), Andrew Carr (Wake Forest), Colin Chandler (freshman), Lamont Butler (San Diego State), Otega Oweh (Oklahoma State), and Kentucky Mr. Basketball Travis They wasted no time in getting Perry to stay.
In the future, he plans to meet with Great Osobor, who transferred from Utah State, in Lexington.
