Zoom Again?
- Thread starter Im The Village Idiot
- Start date
Just FYI Elijah Burns is also known as JQ 25-26, the insider who said this was over on the KSR radio show this morning. TIFWIW
First the Zoom. Then the Boom. Probably not until tomorrow. This call is likely to be setting the details of how they want to handle the signing and the announcement.

If you believe “done deal”, it’s bad.
But Pope and Brown on the same call with no nerd translator to a 21 year old basketball player can’t be good. I say this as a nerd.
This would be a crippling blow to Pope and BBN. Picks our rival for less cash and a lesser role.
Maybe Keegan will follow him again
Done deals require no further negotiations. It’s kind of the definition.
It’s likely the reason for the Zoom. Good catch.
I think he's coming here but his agent is using the other schools to get more out of UK.
Like Stokes, he seems to be waiting for any offer that is close to UK so he can go elsewhere
When will everyone learn? Rainmaker is a fake. A phony. He's Coachx11. Dammit people lol. Wake up.
You believe whatever you want but he’s coming here. Other teams can scramble to play catchup before the commitment all they want. It amazes me that any tweet or fb post and you guys take it as gospel. It’s comical at this point, watch and see and be happy that we finally landed one.
I caught a lot of flak for suggesting that Pope should be more aggressive in negotiations by dropping the big bag and say here it is. This disappears without a signature on 6 hours.
Only to find out that’s exactly what Pitino has been doing this cycle. Pope and staff suck at maintaining leverage.

Hope you’re right but there are others who are plugged in that have less confidence now than they did hours ago.
Only school who has offered more than they already had in the past 4 days is Arizona and they are a few million light still. It has nothing to do with leveraging for money. You’d think a 2-3 day wait from coming back to college and a commitment for posters here is the end of the world. Can we all just sit back and enjoy the incoming commitment.
I have no ill will toward @Rainmaker - but if this falls through, it’s gonna smart.
Who has shown less confidence? You are reading too much into the clickbait.
That's fine, I have said my gut says he was coming here. I was just poking at you because you said it was totally done at 1:30 pm on a certain day this week.
Agreed. Hard to imagine there’s much more to talk about considering they’ve already had several zoom calls with him in the last few days. But, it wouldn’t be a UK recruitment if it didn’t drag out as long as it possibly can. It’s either the commitment or the rejection call, IMO.
Done deals and taking additional zoom calls dont exactly go hand and hand. Seems like writing is on the wall that we should get him and around 7.5 million ish? I could easily spew that out like I know something and have like a 75% of coming off as an insider too?
Mike Rutherford is a pretty respectable source. More so than you. By far. I'll believe what he said over you.
Pat Kelsey told MilMom that Mark Pope said MilMom smelled like Wisconsin cheese and old lake perch. MilMom is just doing his due diligence.
Trolls are obviously against us signing Momcilovic, but unfortunately, I think there are a lot of folks who pull for UK that hate Pope so much and have invested so much in the Pope must go comments that they are actually worried that we so end up with a top 10 team. And that's a sad statement
Face to face commitments are the best! You don’t do this on the phone. Zoom and record Pope cheering, ala Stoops and crew when WanDale committed.
More silly stuff about the fictional sides deal.
There’s maybe 0.1% of the fanbase that thinks like that. Over 99% of the people frustrated with Pope just want a winning basketball product.
Pope needs to close this today!
Feels like a last ditch effort by Pope knowing Mom is leaning AZ or UL. Hope not - hope it's a commitment call. But Mom might be respectful enough to either entertain a last pitch or nice enough to deliver the rejection on a call rather than just selecting another school and leaving UK cold.
Everyone is “bought.” It’s the business.
And just like that, there was no “done deal”!
It’s either Zoom and Boom or Doom and Gloom.
