Well, from the info you shared, he sure seems to have his finger on the pulse of recruiting.

Why don’t you slither back to your own board and defend the slime you pull for? Hookers and recruits?
Well it happened - good for Mark, he needed something to land. A good man, feel good for him. Has to be a major relief.
Thats embarrassing you're using that as your avatar on a UK forum. And you could have at least been decent enough to crop out the words
I’m guessing MM got at least 6 mil. Probably pushes the total NIL payroll to $22 mil area this year too!
Said the guy who just joined a few days ago. LOL!!!
I don’t believe that was the issue. I don’t have many sources, but a person with significant connections privately said they did not believe JMI was the problem with Collins. That is why I have questioned the incessant rants about JMI. Collins opened it up after that. I was told it was not a JMI issue. So, I remain skeptical of all the JMI moans and groans.
Makes not sense that he was all but a lock privately and publicly and then when he went to sign the contract he balked. He didn’t like something about what we have structured to pay our guys. There are only two options here, JMI structure turns off elite players or Pope does. We constantly have offers at or above the competition for elite guys.
And its still cheaper than Duke, Louisville, Michigan, Texas, St Johns, Tennessee, and more.
And? Doesn't change the fact that you're the board school marm. And I don't mean that as a compliment, old man
Creating new anon identity....
Damn. Those names bring back memories. Getting old. Thanks for the reminder *******. lol
a piece of trivia after an event ,I was told by a UL counterpart of what I used to do for UK. he's telling me that Mom's agent called Kelsey at 2:30 on Monday and said he is not going to Louisville he's going to Kentucky. Makes me wonder if Pope on his Beach scene holding the playing cards already new.
I was told he saw the market and decided to open it all up for a highest bidder. So, the options are more than you present.
Oh no! A Card of your repute making such comments must be painful … to no one.
His options were always high, he was a top 5 player.
No doubt. He narrowed his schools and started to negotiate. Then, he completely reopened his recruitment. It is not like he walked from UK and went right to another finalist. He entertained teams he had previously eliminated. This “insider” said he did so to drive his value up and maximize his monetary value. It wasn’t about JMI.
Christian Collins strikes his first NIL deal. For college, it gets more complicated.
"If you see me with a deal, I definitely made that decision," Collins says. And at some point, an NIL decision on Kentucky will have to be made.

Check the quotes from Collins. This all happened right at the same time where he was being picked for us by everyone and then out of nowhere people started saying things had cooled off. Collins then signs with Crocs and sends the tweet out only signing nil deals that HE wants to sign. It was absolutely directed at JMI. There’s no other way to take it.
Kid signs with Crocs, the same as the Boozer bros, but you believe it's JMI related because KSR said so? And this is what you consider "very public"!?Christian Collins strikes his first NIL deal. For college, it gets more complicated.

KSR is really the only entity that SPECULATED it was JMI. When you listened to its own people they clearly did not know that for a fact. Collins narrowed his schools to a few. If it had been JMI, he would have just rolled to USC and signed. But, he did not. He reopened his recruitment and started talking to others, including UL. I was told JMI was not the issue but that Collins wanted more from the school and decided to see if he could up the amount by reopening and having schools essentially bid. UK reportedly spends as much or more on NIL for basketball than other schools and yet JMI is the culprit for the guys the don’t get, not mentioned for the guys they do get. JMI also would be involved with football and Stein seems hot in the recruiting world right now. KSR stirred this pot and people just bit. I don’t see it and, as to Collins, the person who said JMI was not the issue has no bias on the issue.
