Would we really want him back at this point? He obviously is shopping for more money. I think we could pay someone the same amount of money and get a better player

 

[BBNUK4Life]

Not happening.

 

[CELTICAT]

$3.2 million US dollars? Oh no, no, no. 3.2 million Brigham Bucks. See you can spend them like cash while you’re on campus, like at the dining hall or student union.

 

[Mossip]

The portal is something else. I hope one day in the future we’re all chatting about how crazy this era was, and it doesn’t become just the way it is.

[JimboBBN]

I’d take him back but only if he’s the 4th or 5th highest player on our team. He can’t be getting top player money.

 

[Tri-Countycat]

If they would make the portal like the NBA and require multi year contracts, that would help. No way should we have players playing 5 years and going to 5 different schools.

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

No thanks. Time to move on from average guys thinking they are stars.....

 

[rick64]

So if what's rumored is true he was asking for $3M+ in NIL, and now he's open to maybe come back to KY. Maybe BYU isn't coming through with the NIL he was anticipating. I think UK could do better. He averaged less than 10 ppg, liability on D, struggled to get open vs better athletes, and a bit inconsistent.

Nah make like a tree and split you dumazz.

This is interesting regarding Oweh:

Denzel Aberdeen and Otega Oweh’s college careers may not be over just yet

Thanks to changing ideas on college eligibility, guys like Oweh and Aberdeen may be able to get one more year.

I think we all would laugh if Pope handed Chandler a handcuffed briefcase full of I-Owe-You's.

They've got some really nifty Donnie and Marie t-shirts

 

[mdluk1]

Hell yes I want him back. Great shooter and with a pg that can get him and Kam the ball when they’re open, YES.

Awesome movie. Their word is their bond lol.

 

[CrimsonCats_rivals]

Sounds like BYU hasn’t committed to meeting his asking price yet. I still wouldn’t be opposed to him coming back, but it needs to be for the right price. I don’t think he’s worth one of the biggest offers in program history like he was allegedly seeking yesterday, especially with so many other holes to fill in the roster as it currently stands.

How does that make him any different from a player that comes here from another team?
I'd be happy to see him come back if the money was near market value.

 

[JohnRambo82]

I hope he comes back but I understand if he wants to go back home.

 

[kyjeff1]

Awesome movie. Their word is their bond lol.

at the colon blowout scene and the cane wack to the back of the legs.

 

[RedwoodHigh]

Any player not testing the NBA draft or overseas Pro market should not make more than $1 million a year. They get to fly around on private jets & live & eat for free . Not to mention shoe & Commercial money.

 

[FLBBNFAN]

Those were epic scenes and such a hilarious movie. Plus selling the kid a dead bird with its head taped on lol.

OMG, the dead bird.

 

[Skyguyb27]

I would tell him 3.2 was yesterdays offer, that expired. Today’s offer is significantly less.

[MidseasonTweak]

I want him back, but certainly not at 3 million

 

[NociHTTP]

Adios, Curly Boy.

 

[Loucatfan30]

So the goat may be back?

 

[Loucatfan30]

Give that man his money. He earned it. He beat me.

 

[I’m The Village Idiot]

Can’t bring him back. Stick to your guns, coaching staff. Use that budget for guys that you believe are making agreements that match their value.

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

cant imagine the money gets matched on our end so unless the offer from BYU isnt real its hard for me to believe in any return

 

[FLBBNFAN]

Agree 100% . Hate to lose a guy who has been in our system for the past 2 years and can shoot but he's not worth anywhere near 3m in my opinion.

No doubt myself and others have hammered Pope but most of this forum wanted to clean house with the roster. Pope is now doing that so it's unfair to bash him on retention when he's doing what was needed and wished for by most of the fanbase.

 

[kfwa]

you know what, I'd just rather not know what UK is giving these kids in NIL money

and if they were smart, they'd drive a 2011 Toyota Camry and not ever give a hint to anyone how much bank they have while they are here.

Everyone would get along so much better

Jasper Johnson's Uncle would blab it on twitter though

 

[DraftCat]

1 Mill in a 6th man role take it or leave it.

 

[Catlogic1552]

Pope striking out early with everyone he wants perhaps.

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

Pope striking out early with everyone he wants perhaps.

we are in the top 2 for the #1 ranked PG
we are in the top 3 for the #1 and #3 ranked PF

clearly not everyone.....

 

[megablue]

 

[Snarks]

Please don’t get in a bidding war for him. Just let him go to BYU.

 

[BBNinSCar]

I don’t blame the young man at all for grabbing all the cash he can. Chandler will never play professionally in this country, so get your money now. $5-6 million over the next 2 years will set he and his family up nicely.
