For some compariosn to Stokes

rr
The difference today is the portal and NIL, schools only have so much money and schools can’t afford to wait very long. If Stokes drags this out schools may use a lot of their money on other players. His agent knows that.

This is the kind of crap that creeps recruits like Stokes out.
Agree, but it would happen in Lawrence (and at most high-profile schools) too. Price he pays for being so coveted and uncommitted. Doesn't make it less creepy. Just probably the norm for Stokes.

Probably no more harm than people posting trash about him for being "not that good" or "just playing us for more jailhawks money" on this board though.

Then again, he probably does not pay attention to either.

Dear 8 pound, 6 ounce newborn infant Jesus, don’t even know a word yet, just a little infant and so cuddly, but still omnipotent, we just thank you for all the games we've won and the 22 million dollars in NIL money you made available last year and hopefully this year. Also, due to a binding endorsement contract that stipulates I mention JMI at each grace, I just want to say that JMI is effective and competent taking us to new heights we never thought possible. We pray that you bring the trio of Stokes, Wright and Diallo into our superior bue and white ranks, with Freeman later this week. Thank you for all your power and your grace, dear baby God. Amen.

Well, everybody was bitching about recruiting so let's deal with the recruiting first and a roster. Then you guys can continue to be Debbie downers
Hey, agreed. Getting some dudes on the roster would be a nice start. If being a Debbie Downer = Voicing displeasure about where we are, that is me. But even I can acknowledge upgrading the talent is a positive. But it needs to be REAL talent, not that bill of goods we were sold last offseason.

We have 5 players returning from last years team.

Moreno
Williams
Noah
Hawthorne
Potter

Only Moreno is good enough to start on a final 4 team next year. We need an infusion of talented players.

Saw on Twitter/X where On3 already had a 100% for Wright to UK. Not sure about the source, could've been a fabricated picture. Guess we'll see how it turns out.

I just checked. Diallo and Wright say 100% to UK. Hard to say that and it not be actually official though. Don't know what source they are using.

Somebody should get those boys in as extras on whatever they are filming downtown today. The corner by the old courthouse is setup as a New York subway entrance at the moment.

Hypothetical question:

If a feller was doing his court ordered community service and happened to be near the #1 ranked recruit would it be rude to ask him to promote an upcoming yard sale on his Instagrams Ticktocks? The guy would pay the recruit 10 bucks.
