Yeah a very public one with Collins.
I don’t believe that was the issue. I don’t have many sources, but a person with significant connections privately said they did not believe JMI was the problem with Collins. That is why I have questioned the incessant rants about JMI. Collins opened it up after that. I was told it was not a JMI issue. So, I remain skeptical of all the JMI moans and groans.

Makes not sense that he was all but a lock privately and publicly and then when he went to sign the contract he balked. He didn’t like something about what we have structured to pay our guys. There are only two options here, JMI structure turns off elite players or Pope does. We constantly have offers at or above the competition for elite guys.

Tubby lost the fan base when he failed to secure Chris Duhon, Darius Rice, Omar Cook, Rolando Howell, Luke Ridnour, Imari Sawyer, Marcus Taylor, and Andre Barrett in a very short window of time.

We all knew he was a mid-recruiter after that recruiting season, and outside of the Morris/Rondo/Crawford class, he never really recovered from that stigma.

It will be the same with Pope if he loses this recruitment. The last remnants of his bunker-boy supporters will take their cyandie capsules and it will be over.
Damn. Those names bring back memories. Getting old. Thanks for the reminder *******. lol

a piece of trivia after an event ,I was told by a UL counterpart of what I used to do for UK. he's telling me that Mom's agent called Kelsey at 2:30 on Monday and said he is not going to Louisville he's going to Kentucky. Makes me wonder if Pope on his Beach scene holding the playing cards already new.

I was told he saw the market and decided to open it all up for a highest bidder. So, the options are more than you present.

His options were always high, he was a top 5 player.
No doubt. He narrowed his schools and started to negotiate. Then, he completely reopened his recruitment. It is not like he walked from UK and went right to another finalist. He entertained teams he had previously eliminated. This “insider” said he did so to drive his value up and maximize his monetary value. It wasn’t about JMI.

Do you have a link to this very public situation? From someone actually involved? Not a self proclaimed insider.

Check the quotes from Collins. This all happened right at the same time where he was being picked for us by everyone and then out of nowhere people started saying things had cooled off. Collins then signs with Crocs and sends the tweet out only signing nil deals that HE wants to sign. It was absolutely directed at JMI. There’s no other way to take it.

Kid signs with Crocs, the same as the Boozer bros, but you believe it's JMI related because KSR said so? And this is what you consider "very public"!?

Has nothing to do with KSR. I’m basing it off Collins’ own words.

KSR is really the only entity that SPECULATED it was JMI. When you listened to its own people they clearly did not know that for a fact. Collins narrowed his schools to a few. If it had been JMI, he would have just rolled to USC and signed. But, he did not. He reopened his recruitment and started talking to others, including UL. I was told JMI was not the issue but that Collins wanted more from the school and decided to see if he could up the amount by reopening and having schools essentially bid. UK reportedly spends as much or more on NIL for basketball than other schools and yet JMI is the culprit for the guys the don’t get, not mentioned for the guys they do get. JMI also would be involved with football and Stein seems hot in the recruiting world right now. KSR stirred this pot and people just bit. I don’t see it and, as to Collins, the person who said JMI was not the issue has no bias on the issue.

Collin’s own words that none of you can provide. Dude has total control over so many clueless sheep that he should run for governor. Just so we’re clear, Collin’s never said a word that you liars claim, that’s why none of you can provide a link.

I will never stop calling out lying trash who attacked UK with this BS. He lied and claimed Collin’s said something that he didn’t. It’s on brand that you don’t cares about the lies.
Last post was June 4th on this thread. You're looking to revive drama on a dead thread. Every comment I see from you has to do with raging at other posters. Calm down, son.

If I lied as much as you frauds did I’d want to hide them deep in the back of the closet too. Just a FYI, Christian Collin’s never said a word about JMI or NIL at UK, you all tell the same lie because you’re all mindless sheep with zero integrity.

There are hundreds of you who pushed this lie who could make me look stupid right now just by linking his comments that you claim he made. None of you will because all of you are clueless brainwashed frauds.

You're a broken record, posting the same comments to anyone who responds to you, whether they make sense or don't. You might actually be a bot come to think of it.
