To be fair, what impact does it have if that is what’s happening? All 4 finalists are flying out to see him this week and it’ll be over in a few days anyways.
I for one will be ELATED when, should it ever happen, these entitled little s***s aren't running the show anymore. The NCAA needs to address this.
Stop making this about Pope, because it's not. I get it, you do not like the guy. This crap is happening everywhere and programs need to adapt and fight back against this garbage.
They have some master manipulators as agents. Doing what you would expect. Good for Henry. Get Unc up to as much as possible especially after that game they might be even more desperate
I get where your coming from but at the end of the day they are getting the player and UK isnt. It feels good to think they overpay and then wont have enough to pay more players but they still do. The money is always there.
See. Winning Big at Football make us stronger all around money wise and it’s happening already. lol. Joking a little bit but not entirely. Either way, would love to somehow get this kid in Blue and White.
I say whatever it take. Get them here and they’ll fall in love and become lifelong Cats. First step is just frustrating in today’s world.
They might “overpay”, but they end up with the players, and at the end of the day, that’s how you win games! Not by being the one used as leverage.
That's probably not the greatest example. UNC went nowhere with Wilson and his less than stellar season contributed to getting Hubie D fired while Wilson went on to the NBA and left UNC in the rear view (needing Overtime to beat Charlotte last night under new Coach Mike Malone). I'm sure fans loved having Wilson at the time, but was he worth the bag in the long run?
That’s what people don’t understand. It’s fine to overpay and get YOUR guy but if that’s at the expense of retention or other guys to build around with then what did you really gain.
That was kind of always clear with Henry though. The word on him for quite a while was he was chasing a bag of cash and his agent was using schools against each other to drive up the offers. Remember when people were saying he had no interest in UK and was only here to leverage UK for more money from Arkansas and UNC? Rumor yesterday was the asking price was 5 million currently (obviously no clue if that is true). I'm not as depressed when we miss on someone asking stupid money that limits who else you can go get (and can cause recruiting issues or locker room problems with other guys who want the same money that guy got).
So you are saying if UNC did not drop a "bag" too they would still be in the running?
Sooooo, when call was struggling his last few years, including the 9 win season, and all the 1st round exits, recruits didn't see that?
To be fair Henry did it with his first round of schools too. He and his agent let Uconn, Duke and Kansas give him a number too. They set the market for him before he ever visited us. I'm guessing that number was still within our wheel house at the time or we wouldn't be in his final 4 and still spending money to go see him. I won't defend Pope on recruiting or even try, but I think they must feel like he's worth the effort to try and pull away from UNC/Arkansas. Or the rumors that Diggs is wanting to team up with Henry (and landing Henry would be the only way we could get Diggs) after his recent visit made the staff push their chips in on Henry.
Are you dumb? Yes of course it would be a problem if the University of Kentucky didn’t recruit top basketball players and yes it absolutely is also a problem that we are recruiting them and never getting them. What kind of ignorant post did you think you made here?
It has never been about Pope but hate for UK and hate for Pope religion.. WHY DOES THIS SITE ALLOW SUCH BS?
He taped a hammer on Henry’s wall before he exited the house, everyone thought it was weird.
Is this kid 5-6 million good? That number seems like it would be reserved for a superstar
He is a superstar, now ill admit ive never watched him play in person but on tape he has it all, reminds me of malik monk if he had a stronger frame and taller
