Momcilovic Interview on whether staying in draft or going back to college

How is Louisville still shopping for big fish? How much NIL do they have?
Damn! I like local Pizza better than Papa John’s
Maybe.
But they always say that
Blue backdrop at the presser. Yeah he's a cat. Read between the lines fellas.
He gives off the impression of someone who isn't interested in the college experience. While he would likely earn more in NIL money by staying in school this year, he seems ready for the next level. As a UofL fan, I have zero expectations that he’ll land in Louisville, but perhaps Coach Kelsey can sell him on how well his playing style fits the system.
All it takes is a few rich dudes who don’t mind blowing pocket change for the program they love, just to see if they can buy their team a championship!
Don’t believe me? Just ask Duke!
UK’s big donors are currently funding the new football coach and his roster construction… I mean, would you give millions of dollars to Pope just to see it get completely wasted on 2nd and 3rd tier players again?
True. I mean compare it to the stock market.
If a company has a very public $20MM failure, they clearly won't have the same level of investors lined up as they did previously. They want an investment that will give them some type of return.
It sucks but that's the hard truth
What is Momcilovic looking for in a school? It's all about being a school with a great fit for his play style, capable of putting him in the NBA while also being a contender for a National Championship. According to Trotter, Kentucky, Louisville and St. John's are the schools heavily in the mix.
UK: If he actually wants the perfect fit, the NBA bump, the spacing, the shooting, the system, the NIL, the spotlight, the tournament run…he’s picking Kentucky.
UL: Sure.. if he wants to be the star on a team where every defense loads up on him because he’s the only guy they actually have to guard.
SJ: Yeah if he wants Pitino to scream at him every time he misses two shots in a row and suddenly be running wind sprints while he’s explaining “DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS” at 140 decibels. That man treats “volume shooting” like a personal insult.

And to add to your point, they will get investments when they fire the people responsible and enough other people to maintain margin after the loss
Well that would put the final nail in the coffin for Pope. It would be ironic for sure
So
either pope finally lands a big fish
or Louisville or Ricky fifteeno get him? God bless the board may self destruct.

This one takes the cake. There's no ******* "NBA bump" with the current UK staff. You on something dog.
exactly. you have to make actual material changes.
not just send the CEO out to do an online Q&A with fans, hire an unknown guy named Keegan, and get back to business. now how it works
Give him close to what we were offering Stokes. Hell I'll even pitch in 30 bucks from my draw check.
They were mentioned early but with their returning players they are stacked so hard to see him going there now.
It wouldn’t be “stealing”, since there’s no evidence we’ve ever even been close to landing him to begin with.
And what would I think? “Damn, Pitino is good at his job.”
Uk tried to buy a title last year with a $22 million roster. Uofl is trying this year.
It's more about what we'll think about Pope. Recruiting is a dog eat dog world and Mark Pope is wearing milk bone underwear.
"Kentucky is just a poor state that can't afford high level NIL." - fans who deflect from what is possible at UK.
With a roster that doesn't make sense for Kelsey's typical style of coaching.
Kels won the portal last year and had a similar year as we did.
Pitino is the one to look out for imo. If he wants to go pro, Pitino has the edge.
