Some of you all are making UCLA’s campus a much bigger deal than it is. Now it may mean more to THIS guy and some others but certainly not to all. Otherwise UCLA would get every top recruit they wanted and there’d be a whole lot of blue bloods getting none.

I think this recruitment comes down more on the money side and the structure of the two year deal.

What was rumored, that UK offer was the highest but, back loaded and a guarantee he would be here the 2nd year. We can assume UCLA gave more money up front and the second year isn't locked in.

On Campus? Nearly 50,000 students, half young women in their late teens or early twenties, and a handsome 17 year old with a $12M contract and a likely top 5 NBA draft pick, meaning a likely nine figure future....yeah, even in that town lol. He could look like Nate Newton in his prime and still have to beat them away with a stick lol

I would have hated to see the hideousness of the girl he would have met in Lexington. Probably would have made you throw up in your mouth a little bit.

I think you are underselling the coeds on UK’s campus and Kentucky’s passion for basketball.

Apparently not. I seriously doubt this is a basketball only decision.
It's obviously more than just pretty girls and great weather. NY and LA normally means more endorsement dollars down the line as well. Lots of connections to make. It's the main reason the Lakers have always gotten great player after great player to come there and stay

I don’t know any “UK people” who talk about player contracts. I know of a bunch of talking heads who have anonymous sources or speculate and then others just repeat it as gospel. I feel the same way about them and their sources and conjecture as I feel about a twitter account from Europe. Y

You don’t pay attention then.

It’s called false flag recruiting. You would think people would learn that being on the net means nothing. People are really stupid sometimes posting pure lies to get click from the weak minder. Until UCLA announces it’s nothing.
