Just sounds like his agent is trying to start as many bidding wars as possible. Wouldn’t even be surprised if he’s trying to get a bidding war going between St: John’s and TN as we speak


Isn't that his job though? No different than a headhunter in any other industry. Freeman should max out what Kentucky is willing to pay.

Trilly says a few huge names are about to enter the portal. Could be a Hail Mary for Pope.
Freeman better take the biggest/best offer for him if it is anyone better than he is. Betting on yourself is easy when there isn't any other comparable competition

Totally miss there - could have been UK's if they ditched on Pope this year. Perfect culture fit, 100% AA badass.
It is okay, to keep a woman that far out of his league happy he needs to get paid big bucks and gain celebrity status. Was only at Arky State 2 years and USF one. Will be no problem to get him to Lexington after 1 year at Providence. From Olean, NY, which is only ~ 30 minutes further away from Lexington than it is from Providence.

And let's remember:

Hodgson joined head coach Nate Oats' staff at Alabama in 2019 as the lead recruiter. He oversaw a 2022 recruiting class which was ranked third in the nation by 247 Sports. He was personally responsible for the recruitment of Brandon Miller and Jaden Bradley,

Wife went to Bama, so the SEC is calling! Just might have to fight Eww-Tee for him next year.

The PF spot is tough, but I think they'll be vindicated not paying $4 mil to Freeman. There's a chance he could be a lottery pick and worth every penny. There's also a world where it could be another season the kid doesn't play 20 games. We've seen that script before.

Take the financial windfall, sign Morton, a backup C, and McBride. Should have enough left over for another guard. Cox from Colgate would be nice.

If you miss Stokes, you've still got the ability to find a star level piece or you cross your fingers on Hawthorne.

That's an NIT team.

Uh, that is a WILD prediction. Three guys on campus. One guard and 2 power forwards and this guy thinks UK is hoping to land the guard and one PF by the “end of tomorrow?” He must have some crazy contacts. That is real inside shat!!
This tool has ZERO idea I will listen to the actual college insiders before so tool on x FB instagram or my space

Can Pope allow or ask Hawthorne to make it official. At this point he may need to avg 9-10 points a game for us.

My biggest concern is that we weren't prepared. Not having a GM to work this stuff out is a killer. We should've had one the season before to help with the portal and roster decisions. Injuries didn't help, but there were some tough decisions that needed to be made. The 2 big ones being whether JQ and Oweh were worth their prices.

Freeman, in a vacuum, and his commitment shouldn't be make or break. He should be like the 3rd option at the 4. Given his injury history and really "ok" performance so far, I'd think we'd be sinking more resources/time into a better player.

I don't know the equation though. Money could be tied up elsewhere and the 4 position might have a certain budget. We might not be able to overpay Freeman. I have no clue what the financial situation is.
