    Should we send a well check on him?

    What is Pope thinking?

    I’ve been wondering the exact thing. Like, is he stressed the f*** out rn? Does he realize whats happening around him?

    ransom

    My son is 18 and going into aerospace engineering (he FAR outpaced me in intelligence and motivation lol). He applied to 6 very competitive schools, got in to all of them, and had his top three ranked. He made his decision based on how much money he was getting from the schools. He ended picking...

    Derek Anderson on Pope’s Struggles

    100%. Simon & Bibby could do no wrong. Still bitter about that game :ROFLMAO:

    ransom

    I think that this is where my biggest frustration lies. The reality is that every school has to deal with NIL, agents, etc. Kentucky has all of the money, resources, prestige that any school could want.....but we're struggling so much closing the deal. I'm not insider enough (at all) to know...

    ransom

    While this is true, it DOES seem (from the outside, at least), that agents are pulling a lot of strings. Agents presumably know the system, so the player and his family would give him significant leeway; agents presumably are working on behalf of the player (and his family) to make them the most...

    Freeman down to UK & Bama

    I know cognitively that NIL has changed the landscape completely. And if and when any of these players end up choosing Kentucky I will support them 100%. But it still just boggles my mind that a player could have the opportunity to play at the University of Kentucky as a starter - making a ****...

    Hearing Stokes is ours.. Look for Thurs or....

    Regardless of the legitimacy of OP, it’s apparent that we’ll have to wait on Stokes. My attention is on Freeman and filling in the roster gaps. Not going to get caught up in Stokes speculation

    Mullins back to UCONN

    I’m still baffled by that head butt. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad dook lost, and it’s even better that uconn didn’t end up winning the championship. But, what the hell was that? How can a coach get away with that…or even do it in the first place?

    Misperception to clear up

    I agree with this…with the caveat that even though those first couple years with Pitino were rough (14-14 year one), they were FUN and you could just feel something about to happen.

    Misperception to clear up

    But Pope played with a Rhodes, so that might be where the confusion comes from 😉 (this is the only shot I could find of the two of them)

    This makes sense, and I think you're on to something. The money itself is not the problem...if the context is right it works well, if the context is wrong it works poorly. Unfortunately - I think ESPECIALLY for us as Kentucky fans - the NIL era has incentivized players understandably to treat...

    Dan hurley

    Hmmmmmmm, seems like his comments are much more nuanced than how you presented, in fact possibly the opposite. Direct Hurly quote: “It’s not terrible in the sense of NIL. I think the NIL for the players is awesome. Our players made a lot of money this year and their commitment level was to the...
