Amari Williams?

[LXWildcat]

Seen someone say that Sisk said he was looking at other schools again……

 

[J-Ryan]

Yea his agent is shopping him around supposedly

 

[bookerfan66]

Maybe he wants to play with Osobor somewhere else.

 

[BGWentworth]

He gone

 

[RunninRichie]

Rumor that his agent is shopping him around. Wants more NIL money or doesn't like the competition for PT with Garrison.

This is very bad

He is going to start, even with Garrison on the team. Does he not expect us to have backups?

 

[anonymous_2024]

Well crap!

[EliteBlue]

Well that would be a buzz kill plot twist.

Wonder is he fell in love with the idea of playing w Osobor

 

[chroix]

This is very bad

If he is scared of competition what's the point?

 

[H.W.L.]

Ehh, he is good, but if losing him meant we could be back in for Osobor, I would take that trade.

Also, he has to enter the portal again by midnight. So we shouldn't be held hostage by it for long.

David Sisk.

 

[richbrookstomato]

He gone

After that Twitter Post he put up saying how wonderful it was to get the opportunity to play at a school like Kentucky?????

Did Cox scare him??? Surely it wasn’t Garrison???

If this is true, better to know now. But if it isn’t, Shame on Sisk!!!

 

[BleedBlue13]

We have to convince 5-7 portal players to come to UK and come off the bench. That’s not going to be easy at all

Osobor already cut us.

 

[StubbornPenny]

Why would he bother committing so quickly to just turn around and leave? Weird

 

[BBNWildcats4life]

This is very bad

Yea, if a player is that scared of having to earn playing time its terrifying

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

IF he does leave or anyone else that leaves or doesn't sign because of competition, then we dodged a bullet.

 

[JPFisher]

David Sisk.

Is he the one KSR calls "Scoop"?

 

[WeWant9]

This would be so dumb. If he was worried about pt, why not just wait and see who else gets signed..ya know, before being the first one to sign.

This could be the “agent” wanting more nil, which is even dumber.

Not at all, especially as the roster takes shape and higher level guys are now taking interest.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

If Williams is worried about being robbed of playing time by a younger, less proven player, then UK isn't for him.

 

[bballcat4]

I'm guessing Pope quickly nips this in the bud. I'm sure Williams thought he was teaming up with Osobar, and UK would get someone to back him up. Now, Osobar is not coming and there's competition for minutes.

I will always be happy with an all-defensive big man. So, I'll be happy if he stays.

However, I think Pope will force a quick decision. If Williams leaves, then I hope they replace him with a better shooter to balance out the big man rotation.

 

[Basscat1987]

If he doesent want to play here and is shopping around then do everyone a favor and just get the hell out now.

 

[Catfan2226]

Let's wait and see and not go by a rumor. It may indeed be true but if he does leave he's got till midnight.

 

[EliteBlue]

This would be so dumb. If he was worried about pt, why not just wait and see who else gets signed..ya know, before being the first one to sign.

Was probably tampered with and someone reached out to his agent saying they’d offer x amount.

 

[Elliott Tim]

This is very bad

According to who?

 

[MidseasonTweak]

If he doesent want to play here and is shopping around then do everyone a favor and just get the hell out now.

I mean, he will have to. The portal closes today. We will know today.

 

[Eight_Banners_anon]

Rumor that his agent is shopping him around. Wants more NIL money or doesn't like the competition for PT with Garrison.

So, his agent is shopping him around under the pitch that he doesn't want to compete for his playing time?

Let me know how that works out for him.

 

[UK90]

I’m sure the Garrison commit took him by surprise. He thought he had that starting 5 spot all locked up. Then things changed.

Recruiting is a tricky business these days with agents who are only interested in earning potential also now involved.

 

[W1LDCAT22]

Osobor already cut us.

I wouldn't consider that an "end-all" though. I was just reading through some articles online from Sports Illustrated and CBS Sports from 5 days ago reporting that Kobe Brea cut Kentucky off of his list, and now look where he is. In this new portal world, it ain't over till it's over!

 

[bigblueinsanity_rivals250340]

Didn't they both have the same agent? Sounds like the agent is trying leverage more for both of them.

 

[LXWildcat]

How would Williams go back into the portal if it closes tonight? He can’t right?

 

[flacat22]

Source?

Exactly.... let's not get all in an uproar about unsubstantiated, Sisk rumors. Ridiculous.

 

[jedcat]

IF he does leave or anyone else that leaves or doesn't sign because of competition, then we dodged a bullet.

Absolutely right. That was too common under Calipari.

 

[RunninRichie]

Exactly.... let's not get all in an uproar about unsubstantiated, no- name rumors. Ridiculous.

Sisk has been in the biz for 30 years. If a rumor didn't have some smoke he wouldn't post it from behind a paywall.

 

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

MOOB?

 

[Woodrow24]

I wouldn’t worry about that rumor. If it’s got any truth to it and he leaves, we will be fine. I want players that wanna be here.

 

[NC Weasel]

Maybe someone dangling TWICE the NIL got him thinking he was being undervalued?
