    Byrd Update on KSR+

    Correct. It’ll be like NFL FA with a lot of commitments very quickly since many guys have made their upcoming free agency well known. A lot of dominoes impacting each other and musical chairs that’ll be played.

    Byrd Update on KSR+

    Tend to agree here. Any highly ranked player in the portal is probably getting 3M. Next year’s roster has at least 2 but no more than 4 guys that’ll approach or exceed that 3M number. Do you want Byrd to be one of those guys? I could see arguments for and against, largely dependent on whether...

    Garrison to the portal

    Respectfully…UK is having a great night

    Mason Williams to UK

    I’ll be extremely positive for any player that I don’t project to be in our top 10 guys. Any player that comes cheap, as a deep depth option, developmental piece will be encouraged by me. Saving my scrutiny for the players that will actually play next year.

    BB: 2026-2027 TRANSFER PORTAL

    It’s not super common to see tons of mutual follows on social media during the Pope era(joke or take from that what you will) but Byrd is followed by Lamont, Kam, Otega, Denzel, Collin, and Andrew Carr. If he goes elsewhere it won’t be for lack of connections!

    Tipton just released info on Stokes

    Sneaky negative suspicion Self times an announcement he’s coming back in concert with Stokes committing.

    BB: 2026-2027 TRANSFER PORTAL

    Could easily argue he’s the best defensive guard/wing in the country. Definitely attractive

    BB: 2026-2027 TRANSFER PORTAL

    Think he could be a fit to pair with Chandler at the 2 spot. Could play together or one at a time. Kam Williams commented on Tipton’s post of it with 👀 Pretty consistent shooting splits of 40/30/80. So not a shooter. Good enough FT shooter to keep on the floor late as a defensive stopper

    Malachi stay/go decision Via Jack Pilgrim

    Not with them being an LLC now. That information won’t ever come out completely. The frequent posters on here that follow this stuff to an unhealthy amount(like most on here lol) are able to deduce what these markets are for players.

    Malachi stay/go decision Via Jack Pilgrim

    The obvious reason is the Florida operation being run better right now. The less obvious reason is Malachi will probably make more next year than either of those guys, and generally bigger deals are harder to do.

    Malachi stay/go decision Via Jack Pilgrim

    The report was wrong. I think my numbers are widely assumed to be in range among insiders.

    Malachi stay/go decision Via Jack Pilgrim

    Let’s see if I can get to 22 on back of the napkin math: -Oweh 4 -Lowe-3 -JQ-2 -Aberdeen 2 -Mo 2 -Kam 1.5 -Garrison 1 plus -Chandler 1 -Moreno 1 -Jelavic 1 - Jasper 1.5 -Noah 750k -Hawthorne and Potter combined 500k I get pretty close to 22…bare minimum in my mind was high teens.

    Malachi stay/go decision Via Jack Pilgrim

    Especially with an analytics GM I find the Evan Miya site interesting. Essentially his data of possible returners: -Mo and Malachi really good -Kam and Chandler solid -Garrison not good -Jasper bad -Jelavic atrocious

    Malachi stay/go decision Via Jack Pilgrim

    Don’t let the lack of reporting of other teams NILs suggest most of these top teams don’t have large NIL budgets. Heck just look at LSU with Will Wade getting a 14-15M NIL budget commitment. Yes schools like Iowa/Nebraska/Iowa St had good years with small budgets but they’re more outliers...

    Malachi stay/go decision Via Jack Pilgrim

    Probably. I just used 3M+ as my threshold for our best players. Probably includes Stokes, top 30 transfers, best overseas guys.
