Cal took us to 4 final fours in five years and won 1. It’s only started going downhill since 2015. That Wisconsin loss for me was the beginning of the end of our most recent era of dominance.
Any idea who is going after McNeil? All I could find is maybe UNC. I'm with you, if we had a chance at a Brea-type shooter, you gotta go after him. Pope's portal strategy is so confusing to me.
Any word on John Blackwell from Wisconsin? I haven’t seen his name mentioned but don’t know who’s in the mix for him right now. He’d be a big-time get at shooting guard.
This helped me a bit in understanding how JMI affects recruiting:
Factor
Kentucky
Rivals (e.g. Kansas)
Total money

Flexibility

Higher
Speed
Slower

Negotiation style
Controlled
Competitive
Agent comfort
Mixed
High
Not my intention - I'm genuinely ignorant about JMI. Would love to understand the details and started doing some of my own investigation because this board isn't super helpful lol
I admit ignorance on this JMI deal. I hear people talking about how it has killed our recruiting. Can someone break down why this deal is bad for us, and how/why it may be affecting recruiting so negatively?
