The good thing is if Keegan Brown can put together a good enough roster this year, I’m confident he can keep the train rolling and build a consistent winner at UK. We need consistency more than ever and this might be a bitter pill today, but it keeps us from having to overpay every player on the roster. Year one, we had guys who wanted to be here. Year two, we had touch money on three. This was the end of touch money.

Let’s see all the players from top teams transfer out like rats on a sinking ship. Maybe Michigan, UConn, Illinois, Houston, etc will lose most of their roster as well. I doubt it though. Too many red flags with Pope and the G league Video guy…meant GM-

If the teams mentioned lose most of their roster, they will likely cherry pick the portal and reload. It is called recruiting, coaching, and a BIG NIL bucket. Do we have those things?

I feel like both could work. Death nail could just be short hand for “final nail in the coffin”? …yeah…yeah we can make that work.

You’ve done it again idiot
Yep. I’m glad to bring some joy to some at my expense. It’s been a hard year and the off-season isn’t off to a great start so it’s nice to laugh at something. Hell, I’m even getting a chuckle. Four decades on this planet and I’m still learning basic English LOL.

Definitely not changing the title or editing sh*t!

"Death nail” 😄😄😄 Instant classic.
It's the nail Jimmy Dykes keeps talking about.

You shouldn't have admitted it; I thought it was hilariously intentional.

Death nail is actually one of the more logical such mistakes I've ever heard; it's not just based on sound. A nail will kill you at least as quick as a knell.

If you want to hear something akin to a toddler explaining quantum mechanics, I’ll tell you what I thought a death nail was lol:

I thought it was an expression based on old wooden caskets, like the nails that would enclose it. (no idea if they even actually used literal nails now that I’m thinking about it.)

I knew as soon as he was hired this was a big mistake, but who can you hire when you got one season left.....

We had a big NIL bucket, but Goose Givens said at the end of the year we aren't going to have that big of an NIL bucket next year. The other things mentioned we don't have and never had with this coaching staff.
