As for as I am concerned any kid who expects to be a one and done, and wants to have the ball to show his stuff forget him. We had 15 yes of that and I, personally ,am tired of it. Get guys who fit the system. Don't change the system in order to get high ranked guys. Pope's system doesn't showcase individual guys a lot and many of the OND guys won't want to play where they can't showcase and that is alright.
There should be an NIL cap and that cap shouldn’t be over $100,000 or so. That’s more than enough plus free food, free room and board, free education, free travel, and many other perks…
Your pay should be capped at $10 an hour. That’s enough for you to get by on. See how ridiculous that sounds. College basketball is a multi BILLION dollar industry. The players deserve a big chunk of that
The #22 NBA pick in 2024 got $3.1M. Kentucky is reported to have a total of $5M in NIL and if not the top school, one of the top in NIL money. The only way a high school kid gets $3M is if a stupid, second-tier school has a rich alumus willing to pony up to say they got the #1 guy for one year. Places like LSU have done this, and they sucked with kids who didn't give a shit and was an embarrassment Assuming LSU can be embarrassed.
BBN let's calm down I know you want the 5 star recruits, yes that would be nice but I think this staff will do it's best work getting the players the other big schools ignore or give up on and the transfer portal. Be patient fans, let's see how this season goes. If we win less than 20 games then we probably have a problem. But if we win 24 or more games this season and at least one or more NCAA Tournament games then I think we will start getting 4 and 5 star recruits. So let's see what happens.
Stokes' recruitment coming next year should demand and get Ky's bank. No brainer. Gotta save some bluegrass green for our brother Tyran. Lol. I'm serious.
Hey...we no more want to see a good ky kid leave the state as we would one of our good in state coaches. Say it isn't so. Gotta keep the best KY talent in Ky.
Stick a fork in it. NIL isn't sustainable. Uncontrollable greed. Call it what it is. And even these talking head pundits, they scurry to scrape up their master's crumbs, which helps drive it all. Call me jaded. Greed has ruined the golden goose. Everyone wants their share. Before, they earn it.
Brother, just say he isn't coming Jack, no need to spin everything and stretch out your words, because you don't want to call a spade a spade. I think U.K will be fine; it will just be a different thing. I do think that for optics, it would have been nice to get Johnson.
I really believe Ky gonna have a decent season coming up, but my concern is recruiting, recruiting these 4-5 star kids coming out of high school, transfer portal not the same concern, I’m just starting to be concerned about Pope landing these stars out of high school and Ky gonna need some of them, my concern elevated somewhat when I seen coach Cal land Darius Acuff, this evening to Arkansas, I’m sorry to the die hard fans out there but I’m concerned, I just don’t know how we gonna look after this upcoming season. It will be extremely hard to watch Arkansas pounding us game after game due to lack of talent, I hope I’m wrong, but if it’s us and our 3 stars against Cal’s 5 stars I’m afraid it could get ugly in a hurry and Pope’s honeymoon will be over quickly, but again I sure hope I’m way off here.
If Mark doesn't get the 5 star Kentucky kids were in for a rough time selling to the kids outside of Kentucky. I agree this episode does sound like selling mediocrity. Mark wants the best, and this is KENTUCKY he shouldn't have to sell Kentucky. Go Cats!!
Im curious , if Calipari couldnt get the kid to become a UK or Calipari fan enough to make us the favorite or Arkansas the favorite.. then what could Pope do in 3 months of building a relationship? Maybe some players just want to play out of state? I mean UNC and Duke lose NC players all the time and they dont struggle to recruit players outside the state. No need for Doom posting if we miss on Jasper, besides Pope's system needs experienced PG's.
Selling mediocrity lol. How bout selling reality? Johnson is a kid from Ky who's not physically in Ky right now & won't be playing high school basketball in Ky his last 2 years. Not getting him doesn't kill us. Especially in a year with a loaded class & in the transfer portal era which is more important than high school recruiting right now & it's been proven.
@@kevindeaton1719he took a pitcher of him wearing not one but two of them big ol chain necklaces. You can’t afford to hire a feller that’s only looking for a payday cause a feller like that ain’t wantin to buy in to anything that don’t get him more jewelry
From a fan perspective it's great to not have to defend the cal actually can coach and not just recruit,. Last year proves he can't coach. It proves that his defensive scheme is out of touch and out of date. I see him at Arkansas 2 or three years. His career is crashing and it all burn out soon.
Go Big Blue BBN 💪🏼🏀

Yea it shouldn't be who can give them the most money that's even and fair to these schools because they have a billionaire
The excess would fund all kinds of future retirement plans for collegiate sports.

You guys just live in the past!!
I also thought that NIL was for appearances, etc. $1,000,000 is a lot of autographs and a bunch of commercials.

Boozer, Peterson snd Ament are worth the risk reward at that nil level.
Maywood Burries Cenac better value perhaps?
I'm not sold on Pope. I understand Hurley and Oats saying no, but I think it's crazy the admin wouldn't Mitch reach out to Pearl.
pearl Has ncaa Baggage . you must Be Young, KENTUCKY nearly got The Death penalty in 1989 on guestionable allegations, so pearl was A No Go..
Stokes' recruitment coming next year should demand and get Ky's bank. No brainer. Gotta save some bluegrass green for our brother Tyran. Lol. I'm serious.
Pope needs to look at Zander Carter from Ashland Ky.
. One the UK under pope style is seen! Recruiting is gonna change quickly
Pope has to land a few fish right?
Yea its messed up kid they used to play for that name on that jersey
Hey...we no more want to see a good ky kid leave the state as we would one of our good in state coaches.
Say it isn't so.
Gotta keep the best KY talent in Ky.
Torres said we’re out on Jasper? Tell me this isn’t true???
Torres doesn’t know
@@jasonomer346 idk I’m kindve hearing the same thing from all sides
Torres also said we aren’t out on him said the same thing Jack did that we are there but not in like UNC and Bama
Forget about him and his big ol chain necklaces…feller like that’s only looking for a payday
@@tristenthroneberry2833Lol. Sounds like a sweetened up way of saying we’re out, No?
NIL is gonna kill the parity of teams. Not good.
Sadly, it's all about the Benjamin's. College basketball is dying for me.
Have you been asleep the last three decades. It always has been

You mean like caliparry’s 5 stars pounded Texas am, uncw, and Oakland last year? Go on somewhere, hog lover
