Yeah I agree. This recruitment cost UK actual players. Not just money. Can you make it up with a couple of big time talents coming for Europe? Maybe. We will see. 7M is insane amount of money for a freshman who's a great player but does anyone think Kansas will be better next year?
We play them. We will see. I am not a huge fan of Bill Self and Kansas. Pope beat them in Allen Fieldhouse with an inferior BYU team. Pope has made some recruiting mistakes 100% but that doesn't mean Kansas will be better than us.
“Violated Recruiting Rules”: Kentucky Coach Draws Attention After No. 1 Recruit Tyran Stokes Announces $7M Decision
Kentucky and Kansas Fans were excited when Tyran Stokes turned up with his announcement in a blue wrapper. After all, the consensus No.
Salt on a wound at this point.
Yeah, he was trolling UK the whole time. That's the issue. UK paid him to come and visit for the second time and he took the money and ran. Did the C-A-T-S, did the "502" tattoo with the 2012 in the background. Yeah the dude was trolling us and that's fine. He got $7M, good for him. We play them in the champion's classic. Let's rip their hearts out.
Important fact to all of this is the Stokes drama is done! We can move on (should have 2 months ago).
Exceeding 7 million it says, so no way unless he wins every game, the championship and every award he could be nominated for, that’s just way too much for one guy. Hopefully we get two or three more really good players with that.
I don't know but they are laughing at Pope for sure.
I really don't know what to say. I don't have anything good to say. I'm a UK fan. I hate this. But we've been left with nothing but the right to talk
There were multiple recruits rumored not to want to play with Stokes. I believe UK could have landed Holt and probably Collins.
The hits keep coming.
I've heard the same thing. The staff went all in and struck out when the count was 3-0 bottom of the 9th bases loaded. Bad look but it's recoverable. We still have money, and there are difference makers still out there.
Collins would have signed had he wanted to, he didn’t like the JMI contract at all. That was all that was.
Stokes would have gotten man handled in this league. It’s one of the biggest factors for him choosing Kansas.
We have a bunch of really dumbass fans
"People" said that 3 million was specifically set aside for Stokes. That if we didn't get Stokes then UK basketball can't use that 3 million.
$7m rev share is a crazy number, and he’ll almost certainly have NIL options during the season if he’s as good as his ranking suggests. He could make $10m+ next year.
Yeah I remember that coming out. Honestly, it was probably a nice way to move on from Pope.
Ah yes, we tricked Kansas into taking the number one player in the country. That pope guy is actually as smart as they say.
Does your username refer to your IQ or are you willfully misunderstanding what I wrote?
I hear you. But that was just for stokes and probably not to fill out the rest of the roster. I think If we somehow had Graves, and one of Momcilovic or the euro kid ready to sign, I think they’d get the money for two of those. Well if they’re at all serious about winning. I don’t think we’ve spent very much on the players we have, compared to top 30 rosters anyway. I think we can go after two big dogs for sure now. Of course if winning is the goal. lol. Who the hell knows though.
Yes it's minor, but if the university has to self reporti the violation to the NCAA, that'll be humiliating in itself. Then the subsequent news stories follow
