    Pope is going to have to prove himself

    With the transfer portal, keeping guys around for four years is still going to be a chore. You recruit what you might think is a four-year player like Noah or Perry, then they sit for a year or two, and then they are offered a couple hundred grand in NIL plus a probable starting spot somewhere...

    Put on your Muck boots before reading this one because there's a lot of bull 💩 to sort through.

    Back in the day , you could take a guy making $350K and offer him $2 million @ UK …which is a complete lifestyle change and it makes your grandkids wealthy . Today , taking a guy making $2.5 mil and offering $5-6 mil just isn’t the same . Everyone in power 5 is able to pay $2-4mil per yr if they...

    Ulis staying??

    A degree is required for being a FT assistant, and I don’t think he’s got it yet

    The Crafts are back onboard

    The idea the Crafts were perturbed because some political agenda wasn’t fulfilled is speculation and most likely false. There’s never been any sort of hint of outward political bias or opinions in the program , or from donors . In fact , kneeling for the anthem ….which is ‘lefty’ , if you had to...

    The Crafts are back onboard

    It’d seem like you should be able to renovate / modernize the current practice facility , even if you have to pull a memorial coliseum and gut it almost completely and rebuild it . It’s also in a prime spot .

    Off Topic: Mitch Troubles

    Was the dude charged and/or convicted of rape when at other schools , or was it just a rumor or allegation? There’s a huge difference . If it was some sort of hearsay, I’m not sure you can act on that

    For those saying we will not be good next year

    Someone said they’re hoping to get NIL up to around $5 to 8,000,000 per year, every year for basketball. If that’s the case, pope will be in pretty good shape. They’ve got $4 Mil + already for 2024-25

    Billy D (Timeline)

    You’d have to get a yes from a tier 2 guy , then hope Billy loses play in game…take tier 2 guy if he wins , but Billy if he loses game

    Hurley offer rumor

    You worry the agent in NY would get an offer sheet from UK , then simply fax it to UConn and get a bump from them….tho they couldn’t do near the number UK will give

    Donovan

    Roster would be a huge challenge with Billy, if he wins the play-in game, it would be more than a challenge. The portal closes on May 1, so I don’t know what they would do.

    Prepare yourselves for Mitch to pass on Donovan

    Timing and any semblance of roster construction would be the negatives . If they win this play-in game, I just don’t know how you’d do it at that point

    Craft Jet On the Move

    There was a time UK would offer a couple of million to a guy making 300,000. It just isn’t that way anymore, guys are making 3 to 5,000,000 and increasing them to seven or eight is not the same. Plus, you get all the TV and exposure you want just about anywhere. Also, there are more successful...
