From what I understand coach Beard LOVES him & has a plan for his game. Playing time was the most important factor but he did get more money also.
Pope wanted him to stay, but Perry clearly was intimidated/ (scared) to compete.
He doesn't have the team's best interest at heart wherever he's at...
He will play for a major conference... making more money than he did at UK.
Wherever he goes he WILL get the chance to contribute. Whether he will or not will depend on Perry and the coaching scheme.
Kansas was #1 last year FWIW ... everyone here should know what your rank is at the beginning of the season NEVER ever matters at the end of the season.
When I moved here in 1994 ... shortly after I signed a petition, and I got one of the first 150 plates. I have since had several different ones.
I currently have NC8 now.
