I don't blame the agent or the kid honesty. CBB id a billion dollar business, once you started paying players, this was always going to happen, just like in the NBA
Exactly! The days of a thousand rubes meeting him at the airport being the clincher are over. He won't come hete because of the "greatest fans in the world," the "tradition" dating back to the 1940s, etc. purely about money
Lol these big recruits still wont go to sippi.
But we got the money. I was just saying…. Kids like to be shown extra love and attention… he’s the type of recruit you show out for. Laughing at the thought is fine also.
What’s confusing is the ones saying it’s only about money. Don’t we have the biggest offer by far? Must be more to it.
the visit is to leverage Kansas into paying more why cant you understand that
Well, that is what I originally thought, especially with his disciplinary track record in high school. But there is more smoke out there than you would figure if he were such a Kansas lock. He definitely seems like a player Cal would go after. Byington has a lot of resources at Vandy too.
Beautiful, not to mention special
I’m guessing he is saying the federal government would never give anyone free taxes unless the money benefited a senator or something.
My guess is that he’s looking for any way a real coach would come close to the money we offer because he would rather play for someone proven which I can’t blame him now.
Hey according to Stein he said point blank that kids still like to be recruited so your not far off . Just no horse farm visit lol. Maybe a couple of babes to show him around.
Its probably hearing Pope say playing 30 minutes a game is too much for his guys
Exactly, find some chicks that will smoke his corn and let him "find" a pillowcase full of cash. That's what he wants.
I always hated when I saw Pope at Keeneland or the Derby with a recruit. Let one of the players show him a good time. I couldn't imagine spending a day with Pope. Wth would you talk about that long lol
Agreed. Even I find horse racing boring as hell. Everything about it.
Me too . If keenland was free and next door, I wouldn’t walk over there ,lol. Boring as hell .
Stokes is the kind of guy that would think a bunch of people “showing love” were a bunch of corny goobers .
Possible for sure. I think he would appreciate it tho. I’m one to believe of course they all want the money and will get it. That’s why the others things are just as important imo. He would probably think it’s cool if UK fans treat him like a celeb while Bill Self leaves him hanging.
