PITT and WVU offer immediate PT, but he would be pretty crazy to pick them over Duke or Kentucky.
You go to those schools to GET a Duke or Kentucky offer. You have one now...
The SEC should go to 20 conference games, but like football, until they are forced to do so, it will help pad records of conference opponents.
I'd guess it's Florida or Arkansas as well. A home and home with Arkansas is 2 guaranteed big ratings games.
A redshirt means you preserve eligibility AND get NIL. It's the best of both worlds unless you plan to end your college career sooner rather than later.
Malachi Moreno, despite being a MCDAA, is likely not an immediate contributor in a Pope system. But he's here.
Thus, I agree. It's probably a rotation of 10-11, not 13.
Keep in mind, NOBODY has played more than 29 minutes per game under Pope since 2021.
It's very clear he is not going to hand anyone a starting role.
"Starting" on this team means regular rotation and between 20-28 MPG.
Brea didn't start last year, but he was a starter.
Garrison didn't start...
He's not wrong.
But I think there's a degree of "Travis Perry and Trent Noah are happy to be at UK" and Collin Chandler has doubled down on UK. Malachi Moreno probably is here multiple years. Jasper Johnson bleeds blue.
Everyone else is a returnee or an outsider who chose to come here.
Very...
