My guy!!!! Been calling it for weeks! Either Rob or Cruz need to be the starting PG next year.
Wonder if he tries to go back to Pitino or not
If they land him UL will be a top 10 preseason team next year
Looks like you have a “new” team. Congrats!!Wow
UL lands a dynamic duo and uk announces Noah's return.
uk is now the little brother to ul in all sports as well as administration
Would almost tap them out on NIL. We have a 2.2 million offer to him already and he's shopping for more, so if Louisville does get him they won't be able to put a team together around those 3 to amount to much.
He and Stokes went in together on a horse farm with Steve Spurrier
Neoklis Avdalas to UNC. Good get for Malone.
do you know how much Louisville has to spend? How much is coming from Adidas? They are still in the race for Blackwell too.
Just under 14 million and that was after they took out a loan to get that. They are in really bad financial shape throughout their athletic department. Like 100+ million in the hole and no real plan to get out. It's a true problem for these Universities with NIL across all sports. Kentucky basketball operates at a NET positive income, Louisville does not. They already spent a large portion on the first two portal commits, now they have 5 million to field the rest of the team.
I hope you're right. Blackwell would be off at that point.
Cannot believe they spent a ton of money for a 6 foot 9 center. Yeah, he played well, but listed as a center at that height means little skill.
Unless they magically find more funds I don't see how they get another high profile guy. They have one more possible big portal landing and then they will have to get 300-500k type guys to fill the roster out.
the NIL money is separate from what they borrowed against. it's being raised by their collective. The LOC is for the Revenue sharing they have to pony up.
No he doesn't. He throws stuff against the wall and hopes it sticks but also hedges his bet. "They don't have any money left. . . .but they might 'find more funds' "
I understand how NIL Collectives work, they didn't raise 14 million part of what they have is from a loan. I was simply stating even beyond the NIL collective they are bleeding money profusely. Eventually the piper comes calling and a lot of these schools are in big trouble.
What's the skinny as of now? We dont have anyone yet, correct? But im seeing Magoon has a heavy favorite for now? Any one else we truly feel strong about?
Not getting worked up about Stokes. If I'm Bill Self and I had Stokes locked up I'd tell him to string UK along for as long as he possibly could. Get as many other options off the board before saying no. We do play each other this year.
