Unless you're guaranteed money or sure fire 1st round, it's crazy to pass up 3-6 mil in college. But that's me at 45 working long hrs to make 6 figures.
Yet we see it happen every year. Whether they are getting bad advice, or are just tired of school.

Who isn't a UK target? I have it on good accord from someone on this inside that this entire squad has absolutely no chemistry and did nothing together as a team - all they cared about was cashing in their NIL and moving on. That's a really miserable way to run a team.
Pope has to offer more $$$ to land recruits, so it will be that way.

Idk how everyone hasn’t realized these guys use UK and play Pope like a fiddle. No top player wants to play for him. Somehow we get zooms and visits but as soon as that happens they go elsewhere. Under Pope UK is nothing more than a bargaining chip for elite players.

Just glad to see this, I consider Momcilivic a friend. He wants the NBA and Florida was on him but with the returnees I don’t see that anymore for him. It would take 4 million or so and I think we would have a good shot at him. I just talked to him about this 2 days ago.
Oh nice. Keep us updated.

Jump off Stokes, and offer him 4-5. Use any savings towards Wilkins and Freeman

I don’t know stokes or anyone in his camp but I still feel we are in good shape with him from everything I’ve heard. I’ve been believing in us getting Stokes since well before it was popular 😂 back in January when everyone was saying Kansas. The Stokes recruitment has been one of the stranger ones I remember, so much misinformation these days. I know Momcilivic from working with Iowa State the past 2 years.

Wilkins isn’t going to be nearly as expensive as you’d think. From everything I’ve heard we should be getting both, I’m actually surprised the Booms didn’t come today but the portal in the current state is uncharted territory. Lots of big programs with massive exits and looking to reload, I’m personally glad our staff is taking their time and being smart about it. Everyone panics over that but I think it’s a smart play.

I would give Momcilivic 4 without hesitation. Bigtime player and a great shooter we desperately need

Whoa whoa whoa... why do we desperately need anybody?

You're not confident Mark Pope is going to be put together a top 2 SEC team and top 10-15 roster overall?

What are you, some sort of hater?

Yahoo sports had an article stating UK had stopped recruiting him, focusing their priorities elsewhere.

Well what did he say when you "talked to him about this 2 days ago"? Was this on the phone? In person? You call him? He call you? What's the context of you "talking to him"?

C'mon my guy! Don't fall for his schtick. He's not telling you anything that is not public knowledge. He doesn't know anything everyone else doesn't already know and now he's BFFs with Momcilovic but gives no information that isn't already in the public domain (he wants to go to the NBA, Florida was the leader). He should be banned for all of the false information he spreads.

So what exactly is the "everything" that you've "heard" and from whom did you "hear" it (you don't even need to name names).

He ain't coming here. The guy is going to want to put him in a place where he can trust a coach to set him up for next year's draft - he's not walking into a s show.

Honestly dissappointed we couldn't get Wilkins here. That's the kind of player we need - multi years left, high upside. He and Freeman would have been a good start.

Pope has an unlimited budget. He can offer whatever he wants. And it’s not limited to any player.

The only restrictions on Pope are self imposed
