But none of us will know how much Pope paid for Freeman, or Lowe, so we can't accuse MP for overpaying him.I wouldn't. I didn't see Lowe as a high value recruit (others did -- I hated his game). Freeman is valuable enough to take the risk (kind of like Quaintance). Just don't overpay out the *** (I'm talking over 150% market value)and make yourself and the program look like idiots, and it's fine to go for it.
I would like the addition of Freeman as well -- we need guys like that to field a "UK caliber" team.
Agree. To put it simply, if Pope does land Freeman, I'd be happy with it and label it as a big recruiting win.But none of us will know how much Pope paid for Freeman, or Lowe, so we can't accuse MP for overpaying him.
There was a lot of hate thrown at Pope after Lowe got hurt, because "Lowe was injury prone" and Lowe actually wasn't injury prone, Freeman is.
Same here.Agree. To put it simply, if Pope does land Freeman, I'd be happy with it and label it as a big recruiting win.
If the choices are go ahead and commit now or keep the door open, you’re in a very strong position.
So be it but then overpaying last year put us in this position in the first place.And then Freeman signs with another team and RR destroys Pope
Sounds like he was ours but staff are holding out for Freeman. Could be a potential blunderI really wanted Rancik to join the Cats I'm sorry we missed out on him
That’s when you go make a massive offer to Momcilivc if he returns to college. A million more than his perceived favorite offer, and pursue slim Jesus in the foreign lands.I’d be struggling to figure out where CMP would go if he lost Freeman. That’d be a catastrophic loss for Mark Pope. Much, much worse than losing Wright since he had a good backup. With Rancik off the board, it’s pretty slim pickings.
Momcilovic will be huge. If it came down to him or Stokes ($$ for one or the other), I honestly don't know who I'd pick. Probably go with Stokes because we really need elite recruit clout again. But Momcilovic is exactly what a Pope team needs, just have to hope Zoom and Wilkins are up to the task and provide the needed guardplay.That’s when you go make a massive offer to Momcilivc if he returns to college.

There’s a problem with your logic on that.That’s when you go make a massive offer to Momcilivc if he returns to college. A million more than his perceived favorite offer, and pursue slim Jesus in the foreign lands.

You aren’t kidding Lucas getting it done!Lucas has put together a pretty decent haul for a second year coach at a non basketball school.
Gotta pull Stokes first though. I’d rather get a player first and then we can go from there. Plus if he starts pulling players of that caliber who is to say more boosters won’t step up if they feel we have a chance at a better roster?There’s a problem with your logic on that.
Yes, the assumption is we provide offer to Milan if we don’t get Stokes (or at least it was yesterday). That said, we lose money on the budget if we don’t get Stokes so we may not have the cash to outbid everyone for Milan.
I projected Lucas as a high potential coach with a chance to become elite based off him winning a tourney game at such a young age. Since then, he's only supported that fact.Lucas has put together a pretty decent haul for a second year coach at a non basketball school.
Can definitely see him using the city of Miami plus NIL to sell these kids on coming there, pretty nice perkLucas has put together a pretty decent haul for a second year coach at a non basketball school.
Can’t blame him, I’d move to Miami.Can definitely see him using the city of Miami plus NIL to sell these kids on coming there, pretty nice perk
I might me a minority but I put a lot of stock in conference regular season and tournaments. It shows you can scout and game plan and survive tough road games. The NCAA is sucks a crapshot, it would be nice to have those wins but I want to get back to dominating our own conference. When that happens we go into the big dance as a 1 or 2 seed and give us a better chance.I projected Lucas as a high potential coach with a chance to become elite based off him winning a tourney game at such a young age.

I'd rather have someone who made a FF somewhere else recetly, but if such candidates aren't willing, then I would have no issues with a Jai hire.
Stratified market, we’d all do the same if we were negotiating for a job, still sh*tty, though.We are already offering Freeman more than any other school and he's trying to squeeze more out of us?!
Starting to not like this kid regardless of talent.We are already offering Freeman more than any other school and he's trying to squeeze more out of us?!
Location like that is a huge advantage now in this market.Can’t blame him, I’d move to Miami.
Meanwhile, Cal is having blood tests done to see if his kids are legit. Lol. The world has lost its mind... Fakebook ...
Wow smh. People will believe that too. It should have stayed a way for college kids to meet.Meanwhile, Cal is having blood tests done to see if his kids are legit. Lol. The world has lost its mind... Fakebook ...

The issue is his people. If these players had a strong Father or Mother than they kept the decision between them only it would work better. They have so many hanger ons trying to get their piece, it turns it into a mess.Freeman seems like a pain in the *ss. Per trilly, there’s been a lot of flip-flopping and indecisiveness from him and his people.
I think this was posted a few days ago, however, it appears to be more valid today too.
