Milan to UK?

- Start date
I wouldn’t call any of them elite shooters but Milan.
It will be way over 4 million too and he’s not worth the money but Popes job is on the line so he will pay however much he possibly can.
Denzil Aberdeen is physically gifted as Zoom and Wilkens, but he did not have the point guard skills that Zoom and Wilkens possess. Denzil did an admiral job last year keeping the team from total collapse, but he is just not a run the offense thru him type player. Both Zoom and Wilkens have ability to play point and off ball. I think there will be times that these 2 depending on the match up will switch roles. They bring much more versatility to the team.
Do you not realize he played in that type of conference last season also playing for a coach who emphasized that type of play
I believe UK had 8 mil for Stokes with 4 mil coming from Nike. I wonder if Nike was willing to pony up if it’s MM? My guess is that UK probably has at least 6 they can start with.
He's not even worth anything more that 4mm. Top centers were going for 4ish, tops 5mm.
Brea was a shooter and scorer. He was not quick in any sense of the word. Momscilovic is very similar to Brea as a shooter. I am not sure Mom is quite the scorer Brea was for UK. I could be wrong. He just like Brea he is the best shooter in college basketball and if Zoom and Wilkens are who we think they are he will not be called upon to score as much as Brea had to just create space with his shot. I don't know who would win a race between the two of them, but neither would you.
Agree. Blame Pope for the situation we are in. We are desperate and Milan knows it.
lol that’s not how that works. You have to actually have the money to “spend whatever” he wants.
If you are a donor, are you giving Pope a blank check?
I would kill to be a high school kid nowadays. You could play a couple years of college ball and make about $8 mil. Throw that into a money market, or high yield savings account. Earn about $400k a year in interest and never have to work a day in your life.
Maybe they can. They might be booking the extra lapdances as we speak.
Texas Tech is the threat with Momcilovic. They have plenty of
.
Yeah, never great leverage to always be in a spot of desperation. There is a reason when these guys come back Kentucky is immediately on the list.
Well, with all of the money in their warchest, hopefully (or maybe not) they've upgraded their hostesses since Katina and her crew was there.
You would think not. Seems to be setting up nice. Once again, can Pope actually close this one? He has to.
I am a donor. And i know all of the major donors. And I know for a fact that pope does not a limit. There is one particular donor that would pay it all by themselves. But that's not necessary. Pope has never been limited on what he can spend.
Why aren’t we spending like Louisville?
I believe you, have no reason not to. Honestly don’t care. If we are spending? Why have we gotten duds? Our highest ranked portal commit is like 25.
and I’m a donor too if we want to get technical about it.
Question out of curiosity then, more than anything. If Pope has no cap on spending. Who's decision was it for the following: Pope's, Brown's, the Admin, JMI, the Donors, etc.
1) To let Chandler walk and not pay his asking price (which was reported to have made him the second highest UK player ever)
2) To have Moreno negotiate a smaller deal than he was worth in order to "have more to spend on a solid roster around him". I know we renegotiated it to get him out of the draft, but initially.
3) To let Stokes go to Kansas for "rumored" package worth $7 million and not just write Stokes a check so big he couldn't say no?
4) To let Freeman get a bigger offer from Slick Rick and their billionaire donor, who bragged about it on his twitter feed no less, while he was on our campus.
5) To let Rob Wright play us and negotiate a new deal with BYU while on our campus. Similar to Stokes, why couldn't we just outbid Mormon U?
We missed on other guys, stopped pursuing other guys for various reasons, and all that goes along with the ebbs and flows of recruiting. But those 5 were money decisions. Either we chose not to pay more, or offered more and they went elsewhere anyways. So either we were outbid, or a player and their camp chose another school for less money. It's been reported by multiple outlets that UK only has roughly $15 to spend in pure NIL (not counting Rev share) for this roster, including Norlander and Field of 68. Is there any truth to that?

Please don’t be Rob Wright 2.0. All this hope and I will be crushed if he dips at the last minute.

Hell yeah if all the "Twitter Insiders" are claiming this it means they read some good news from paywall sites.
Milan Momcilovic Update 
KSR+ insider JQ25-26 reports that a deal is reportedly close to being finalized, with NIL numbers currently being finalized and official contracts under review.
While nothing is official yet, this is another positive development for Kentucky as the Wildcats continue to push for one of the top available players in the transfer portal.
(via KSR+ / JQ25-26)
Speaking of paywall sites
Ky Fans are gonna be let down again you're forgetting who's in charge of recruiting WHIFF God himself some people never learn.
This one feels different.
I read a hilarious tweet by Rutherford yesterday. He said they locked Pope into a room with a YouTube video of Momcilovic talking so he thought he was actually Zooming him so he wouldn’t mess it up lol.
What does this mean?
Edit: JQ25-26 is the username why couldn’t Matt jones have explained that
I think Pope will be here awhile. Pope is the man!!
