my preference ..... Rancik over Freeman, would love for him to reconsider if he hasn't signed yet
Freeman down to UK & Bama
- Thread starter BassProCat
- Start date
Give up on Rancik, boys
Freeman or bust
Freeman or bust
After what spent last year. He has less this year. Pope can't get into a bidding war, considering what he has spent already on returning players, the two he just signed, and how many more roster spots he needs to fill.
Pope is blowing it should have closed the deal on Rancik first. Pope needs to hire a used car salesman that understands negotiations and communication when it comes to dealing with agents and players.
All true things you said, but what I’m saying is he should have realized Freeman was never coming here unless we overpaid greatly.
Hit Mitch up for some of that $950k he has coming in.
Unfortunately, “my entertainment” are showing me they aren’t the type of people I would ever choose to have in my life. They don’t share the same values I do. They make me question why I still support them.
We don't know where this is going, but some of you have the most negative spin.
Maybe Freeman wants to be here , but is trying to juice his offer as much as possible before signing.
Many people would do the exact same thing if they were in Freeman's shoes.
Maybe, Freeman has a greedy agent. Freeman is ready to sign but his agent has him playing games to drive up his offer which puts more money in the agent pocket
There is a chance Freeman goes elsewhere, but there is also very much a chance he ends up at UK.

I would be OK with this
Bob Knight was hilarious I don’t care. He was far from perfect and he did a lot of wrong things in his life but he spoke his mind and never wavered.
Mo D didn’t fit great here but he’s good enough to retain instead of dealing with filling every roster spot. He will be great at St John’s though.
So, he may want to play here or he may not. He may want to get more money, or maybe his agent wants more money. We may get him or we may not.

Makes sense for him at SJU as he is from Queens. Also Rick P would get the most out of him IMO. But I thought he was going to Texas Tech? I can't keep up with this **** anymore!
It’s not you. It’s the ridiculousness of all these anon accounts taking advantage of fans by lying for engagement.

Should be the standard across the board. It’d be great if there was legislation passed that forced the issue. You either play a certain amount of games or you get nothing. At the very least you only get the percentage of games you played and postseason sit outs really cut your play. I bet JQs knee would have been totally fine at that point.
People like jay bilas will whine and say it’ll force players to play hurt. Well good, they’re grown men. You want the pay then you play.
It’s nobody’s fault but congress at this point. You can’t get mad at the ncaa anymore when everything they try to do just gets struck down by local judges.
until congress steps in and passes so common sense stuff this will continue.

How can congress pass anything that also won't get struck down by judges? The source of the problem is and always will be the ncaa for not enacting common sense, TRUE NIL, from the beginning. Saying it is somehow congress at fault is silly.
You do understand that congress makes the laws that judges follow, correct? Not sure if you’re familiar outside the reservation.
The Bengals were trying to put that clause in rookie contracts last year which is why first round pick Shemar Stewart held out last year.
People thought Diallo was out after Wright decided to go back to BYU.
I definitely don’t think it’s over. It’s just bad news. If we get Freeman, I’ll be ecstatic. If we don’t, Pope will have to find someone undervalued and under ranked.
Momcilovic would be the Bengals equivalent of getting Dexter Lawrence instead of drafting a cornerback from Tennessee with the 10th pick who tore his ACL and missed half the season.

UCONN got other commitments from players and didn't wait.
It’s simple at this point.
If pope gets stoke and freeman he has a shot at doing something. I don’t think it’s anywhere near a final four team but it might buy him another year.
if he gets one of them I think he makes the tourney but it’s just a repeat of last year.
if he gets neither then everything will burn to the ground

Anything can happen. Mensah got out of his deal with Duke to sign with Miami.
Moreno will be an All SEC player and Williams will be better. You're looking at last year and not factoring in organic improvement from the existing players. Noah could be another Tom Kleinschmidt.
Hmm. Not good for us. Understands UK is the best landing spot, but told by others not to go. Feels conflicted and needs guidance.
Moreno will have to bust his *** in the weight room this summer or get pushed around again. His season next year will be defined solely off how much work he puts in. He has a long way to go before he’s dominant. I’d say it’ll be another year similar to last year imho.
As for Noah he’s here because of the nil deals he gets. Nothing more. He was more likable than Perry and got more things going for him. He would never make at another school what he is here. I think you’ve seen his peak or close to it in the court.
If Moreno scores less than 10 ppg again this team is in trouble. I look for at least 15-16 ppg from him.
Yeah you do....you spend 20 hrs a day here. Not like you're busy doing anything else
Then we are better off getting neither. Stop delaying the inevitable. Pope can't coach. He gets down double digits so much and doesn't game prep. Also 14 losses by double digits, including both ncaa tournament losses.
