Meh. UK was better overall. Outside of the probation years, we didn’t have very mediocre teams like duke did in 1995, 1996 and 1997. For reference, duke had a losing record in 1995 at 13-18 and then an 18-13 record in 1996 and yet, still made the tournament somehow lmfao
Idk the exact numbers, but he was paid top 10 money nationally. IIRC, that’s what it was. I just remember always thinking Stoops was paid top 10 money, without the top 10 results basically lol
Yep! Most people were high on this team after Milan committed. Only until the “newness” wore off. Then, same exact thing happened before and after the Mitchell commitment. Did a complete 180. Both times.
Agreed! And, look, I get that he technically “entered” the portal in sufficient time. HOWEVER, that rule should absolutely NOT apply to players that THOUGHT they had exhausted all their college eligibility! End.of.story.
