C'mon Rainmaker do your thing and bring this kid home. Get Stokes and Momo and we're legit contenders
Momcilovic expected to remain in college
- Thread starter PopesCrewCut
- Start date
Who are the teams that would be able to afford him and have an open spot? Would imagine that list is small at this point
Those involved are Florida, Louisville and Michigan.
I hope the addition of N'Diaye doesn't deter him from being interested.
Should be an open shut recruitment… Miss on Stokes, simply offer Momcilovic “Stokes money”, right? I mean, it’s going to be just sitting there collecting dust, right?
Where is lil brother getting this money for players? No way they have the money they are promising these players.
Deferred Compensation
they pay them $10 every 45.6 seconds for rest of their lives
Don't know. Rain said they were tapped out after Bidunga and Shelsted
Borrowing money.
In my opinion, they are going in debt trying to compete, just like before with the prostitution scandal.
Kentucky owns them to the point, they will run their University into the ground to try and stay on par with UK.
They think PK is the guy and are willing to go into debt, banking on PK making a deep run in the tournament.
As of April 2026, the University of Louisville is reconciling with Papa John's founder John Schnatter, reversing their 2018 split following his use of a racial slur.
Not exactly. Part of the Stokes "package" is Nike money, which UK will not have to use for someone else. Some of the Stokes "package" is a pool of boosters putting up that money only for Stokes and not for someone else. So not all of that Stokes offer can be transferred onto another player. Most of it can. But it's my understanding the Stokes offer is separate and set aside from our other usable NIL (rumored to be 15 mil for this year, no clue if that is true) then the 5-6 million (even heard 6-7 million but can't confirm) Stokes package. Its definitely more complicated than just miss on Stokes, throw his bag at Milan though. That's not all Pope's to spend elsewhere.
2 million year one and 2.3 second year option with a small buyout. So just over 2 million a year. Almost half what SJ paid for freeman. It was a bargain.
Put it this way OSU paid almost as much for Jelavic and LSU paid more for MoD. We win in every situation with what we did.
They are doing the Bobby Bonilla Mets deal from what is reported and rumored. 3-5 year payoffs on the NIL deal numbers for this season. No rules against it. Huge risk by the school though.
There is no question that he can shoot the ball ...

Louisville coincidentally is bringing back Papa John after they threw him to the curve many years ago. 
Milan is the best three point shooter I've seen in a long time, he going to get 6 million from some college, that's why he's not going to the draft
Stokes doesn't seem to be in a hurry to commit. I'm certainly not very confident Pope can reel him in. I think I'd offer Momcilovic $6M for starters and see what kind of interest is there.
If I were Pope, I take the entire budget thats left(Nike will help on Stokes if we land him) and offer every penny to Momcilovic. Fill the rest of the roster out with two star kids we give a scholarship and no NIL to.
There’s no guarantee he will be anywhere near as good as Freeman or even Rancik. He’s an unknown commodity. He could be good or he could be a project. I’m not confident if he starts.
Hard to imagine Louisville having the money left to spend and Florida having the roster spot. Which of these 4 - Chinyelu/Condon/Haugh/Milan would be cool coming off the bench and playing less than 20 minutes?
No they don't think PK is the guy,he is on the hot seat,I'm from Louisville,don't live there now,but he is on the hot seat,they had a great roster last year and underachieved,The Brown fiasco has got many Card fans unhappy with him,he has a good portal class,not as good as some on this board think,But if he don't have a great year next year,he might be gone
the only thing guaranteed is this year, never know what next year brings
So are we. As in scary ugly.
Of all the people that you think Mark Pope could recruit you would think the goofy white dudes would be an easy catch.
Coach Hope says:
"hey dudes I'm you and you are me. It'll be beautiful. Kumbaya anyone?
Player "ill call you"

Gonna go to FLORIDA and the Gators will chomp to a fourth Natty. Possible undefeated shot too,
I know Stokes can play the 4, but he’s more of a 3. And Momcilovic is a 3. So those 2 are probably and either/or, not getting both.
The fans on their message boards aren’t very happy but all the fans on social media think he’s the next coming.
In my opinion, they wouldn’t go into debt with a coach that they didn’t have confidence in.
No one can tell me that UL isn’t going in debt either, they’re whole athletic program is in the red with spending and has been for a couple years.
