Joe Tipton w/ Yates update

[Shawn (uk7spd)]

This one screams like a situation where Yates's agent is really trying to push UK for a huge number and posturing about Washington as his likely landing spot if UK doesn't give in. As we have seen, Pope doesn't cave easily on these high dollar asks, especially when he has other options (e.g., Pierre), so we will see who blinks first.

$ and assistant coach likely heading to Washington

For 3 million I’d rather they just go all in on Pierre or Ian Jackson.

I saw where JQ NIL value was 2 million and AF is 1.6 million. If true, that means the agent is adding at least a million of value, if not more?

 

[CarolinaCatsFan]

I dont buy Yates to Washington one bit.

Me either

 

[GoNoles111]

Why would you transfer from USC to Washington if you're a NBA prospect type player? You're on the same west coast with a bad team and nobody watching you play.

Or even Wilkerson…..he may have already silently committed to Indiana but try and hijack that train!

He was at Washington his freshman year and his cousin/advisor/mentor/coach is (rumored to be) heading to Washington. Plus, $$$$

They both left Washington for USC (Pointdexter was the coach), are they both going back to Washington ? Would be really odd. Or wrong.

Ain't no way I'm giving up SoCal life for Washington state.

Yeah I'm reading this like..wait what?

Says tomorrow could be a big day, with Pope reeling his biggest fish yet? Who could that be? Anyone?

Brother that was Yesterday or technically just past midnight this morning. JQ is the big fish.

 

[NociHTTP]

Lol you're insufferable. Why don't you and hubby go to Walmart and get some dook or ut gear. No way you're a real fan. You really are a horrible poster.

The feeling is mutual. It is not your place to tell someone that they're not a UK fan. I find it hilarious that you think people who post their OPINIONS, that you don't agree with or are too realistic for you, are "horrible posters". Would it be fair to say that I don't think you are a UK fan?

Ah, I see it now. Thanks for helping me see **** right in front of me. Appreciate it .

Could it be Ian Jackson?

That would be REALLY BIG!!

 

[rivercatinfl]

As of right now Quaintence can't even play. He has to heal, then get into game condition, then be able to take contact, and then learn the sets.

Not be to pessimistic, but I hope he's not another S Sharpe. I love what he brings if he can play!!
I'm jaded from Cal. I know Pope ain't Cal but it gives me a slight pause.

That's my concern as well. But I have faith that Pope wouldn't dare let something like that happen.

JQ isn't going to get drafted lottery/first round if he just sits out like Sharpe. He isn't quite at that type of level, especially coming off injury.

 

[Bigkyfan88]

Pay him whatever, doesn't make a difference to me. There's no salary cap in college bball, so let's be the GD late 90s Yankees over here and build super teams for the foreseeable future.

Why pay him that money as the 40th best transfer when we might be able to get 3rd or 7th best transfer(Luis Jr or Ian Jackson) for the same amount?

 

[Bluesnky]

Could it be Ian Jackson?

He’s talking about Quaintance. He posted that at 12:40am.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

It’s about quantiance

 

[CatOfDaVille]

Sure that's fine too. My point is that all of these amounts are meaningless to me, so if Pope wants a guy, but he costs $5MM, I say pay him. I just want to win.

 

[BleedBlue13]

It’s hard to fathom how deep we are gonna be. Got 12 with 3 spots left and still expected to add one more high level guy. At this point after getting a shooter I won’t be surprised if we are still contacting kids. Pope stockpiling talent and I’m here for it

 

[trueblujr]

Yeah that would go over well for team chemistry.

How do we turn Elon Musk into a rabid UK fan? He's got a few bucks to throw at some guys for us.

Assume its from some someone's discord,, so no idea..

 

[kydmb99_rivals103809]

Rumor on Trilly’s discord (not from Trilly himself) that Rylan Griffen could be someone to watch

 

[bookerfan66]

Pierre is just as good. Hope Pope lands him.

You're missing the obvious point, more money! If EKU would pay more money than Duke, thats where most would go

Rumor on Trilly’s discord (not from Trilly himself) that Rylan Griffen could be someone to watch

Looks like he shot 39.2% from 3 year before last at Bama (33.6% last year) on 189 attempts. So, seems like a capable shooter.

Last season at Kansas he was pretty bad. But that team seem to have issues.

Yeah….I think Pierre is Plan B and Griffin is Plan C.

 

[J-Ryan]

I’m not so sure Griffin is the answer.

Clearly you’re all teeth and no eyes, man.

Pierre really needs to put forth effort and focus on defense. The film against Liberty that you can find on YouTube is… less than ideal.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Lol

 

[JwUKFan11]

I’m not so sure Griffin is the answer.

Clearly he wasn’t the first option, but he was good in the Alabama offense so I think Pope could bring that 3pt percentage back up.

Going to be like Great Osobor, will be forgotten of.

 

[EliteBlue]

Yeah..he’s a top 5 pick if he plays next season and shows he’s healthy. If he sits out for a full year of rehab and only does combine stuff, he probably falls to 15-25. That’s a big $$$ difference when all he has to do is average 15 and 8 and he’s a lotto pick

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Lendeborg probably removed from the ratings soon by staying in the draft

Is he staying in the draft for certain?

 

[BleedBlue13]

Needing some Pierre smoke, patiently waiting over here
