So we got some like myself wanting to land Tyran Stokes. Hoping he picked UK. Saying pay him however many millions.


Then you're saying if he committed here and we had the number one player in the country flexing a couple twenties BBN wouldn't like it. That's the stuff I stay talking about. What a terrible young man he is enjoying his money. Show it off. You're only young once Kid.

I hate he didn't pick UK but I also moved on.
I don’t think anyone should flex their money everyone knows he has it. Just kinda poor taste to me. He is the one who will be a target though. Better spend some on security for sure. He made it and he can do with it what he pleases though. He can sleep in a million bucks for all I really care.

None of this kinda stuff matters to me, let’s just see how he plays on the court.

We didn't dodge ****. We needed him bad, for multiple reasons, and now the program is on a ventilator.
Stokes wasn’t helping us much on the court as chemistry wise we would have been worse. Perception doesn’t really matter either with popes *** canned after next year. I can watch next years team with the players we have even knowing we will likely drop 15 games but I’m not sure I could have watched much with that douche on our team. Glad he’s not here.

Won’t be long and he’ll start beating women and raping them. Bill Self sets the standard for these kids. In order to complete the college experience you need to punch a woman in the eye.
The only school with a worse track record than Louisville

Oh I agree it's dumb. But I just look at it like he's a kid. He's going to be dumb. I fee like the money spread is more of a thing young kids do.

Obviously ridiculous if you see an older person doing something like that. He's just living it up. I can't get mad at him for a money spread. What makes me mad is when people that don't have real money like Stokes start doing the money spread.

Perhaps, but the same could probably be said had he committed to Pope…

Kind of the reason I didnt want him. All he was gonna do is throw a potential life vest to Mark Pope, not actually win us much. Now if we had some other legit final4 tyoe pieces, id have loved to land a talent like him. But he wasn't gonna help us much either.

Kentucky is a worse team because Stokes is not playing for us. All of you that are glad he didn't come here are idiotic, delusional and pathetic.

He needs to be careful before showing off his riches. There's plently of people in the world that will happily take them from him if he's not prepared.

I'd be living an under-the-radar lifestyle if I had riches. Broadcasting your wealth to the world just isn't smart.
I agree. Most people know he’s loaded now though but it’s not smart to broadcast a lot of cash to the world especially when people know where he may be.

Yeah that is just sad though. Especially the ones who try and flex and have like 2 20’s, a couple 10’s, 5’s, and a bunch of 1’s lol.

There definitely is crazy people in this world just open up Facebook and start scrolling some of the crap you read anymore. It definitely doesn't surprise me with the world we live in but damn I have grand children that have to grow up in it now!

If he don't pan out I'll laugh. Pope hurt himself with freshmen because mainly Jasper didn't have a good season. His uncle ran his flapper and thats part of the problem he has with freshmen. Plus other coaches have a better history of putting them in the nba or developing them. Sadly his first year he had to whip a team together. 2nd year we were about to get a freshmen from out of state Acaden Lewis and he leaves because of money. If we would have known Lowe would have been hurt all year, who knows.

I am sure I will be proven wrong, but that espn annoucement was full of cringe and this dude is Johnny Drama.
This was not a kid Pope could control, his whole camp would have turned on us and he likely would have sat on us half way through.

Self is the kind of coach to get more out of him, I hate to root for people to fail but I wouldn't be upset watching him implode at Kansas.

I just don't get why today’s players like Stokes and Calzeda think this makes them look cool.

EVERYBODY already knows you’re being paid a boatload of cash. You don’t need to prove it to anyone. Publically flaunting it like this just makes you look like an insecure vapid soulless douchebag.
