Wonder if this is true?

If this is true, Pope is the largest waste of money I’ve ever seen. I’d love to have Stokes, and Pate I have no idea about, but I doubt he is worth 5 million dollars. You could sign anyone in the portal for that. Lendenborg took 3. We would need 30 million dollars for a roster if we spent 12.5 on two guys.

Are you a little slow or just super old? Only two options for even slightly believing that.

Stokes better accept UK's offer while he can because the word is Pope is starting to show interest in George Glass who is waiting and willing to take the spot that Stokes has been offered!

Totally agree. No way I’d give Stokes $7M. I don’t believe that anyway. But, he’s not worth that. He is a great player, but, for $7M you can add 2-3 guys who would make a similar or bigger impact. With probably half the headache, too. I get strong team cancer vibes from Stokes. I’d definitely take a chance on him, though. Just not a $7M chance, or anything close to that.

Pate isn’t worth $5M, either. He’s a glorified spot up shooter who seems selfish in the limited highlights I’ve seen. Both guys will likely be really good on this level. But, not worth those price tags. Somebody needs to reel in Pope if he’s seriously throwing out offers like this. He shouldn’t have to freaking double everybody else’s offers to lure kids to UK. Ridiculous.

How much did Dybentsa get from BYU? He got close to that and was the number one player in the country coming out of high school. Same as Stokes.

They both will be here ,I don't know about the money,I questioned that sight ,and they said everything post is accurate,I'm hearing they both will be here,but I don't know bout the money,and I think Stokes announcement could come before then..

Not true. This is the 3rd person who has said the exact same thing.
I believe it parts of it are ,I believe they both will be here ,When Stokes Comes for his visit,we should know then,I believe they'll both be here ,don't know about the money

I’m hoping Pope is using his own money to purchase those 2 players, he seems to owe us after this season. Then use Official NIL money to get players that can actually play and win.

I can tell you with 100% accuracy that anything posted on that matt Jones ball suck site is bullsh!t 😂 That's been posted for over a week or more..
The fact that you think this was posted on KSR should tell everyone just how well you can use the internet.

It's just my opinion,Why would Stokes schedule a visit to Uk,if he was locked on for Kansas,it's not to up the money, Kentucky is going to outbid Kansas,no matter,and no way Nike is going to let a high profile client go to Kansas,I know others from Nike have,but not as high profile

Looks like tripe but just for the sake of argument:

If it's true I'm all for it.

We HAVE to fix recruiting.

If that means spending 40 million dollars in one year as long as our boosters are willing to pay it, DO IT. If we do it long enough to become the "it" school then we'll start getting the same calliber players much cheaper.
