Latest I heard was Arkansas, heard anything new?We might be paying a bag to Davis
I think Louisville is just being used to drive NIL from UK. Everyone knows we don't want to lose a player to any school, but Louisville is about as bad as it gets and will drive boosters to pony up to prevent it from happening.Maybe he's wanting to see other schools then come visit here last and just not leave?
What the hell is up with people and Louisville now?
This agent is also Williams' agent. I've heard that he is very aggressive on NIL demands and will play everyone against everyone to get his client the best overall deal. To be expected given that's his job.It's going to take me a LONG, LONG time to get used to reading something like...his agent @GeorgeLangberg of GSL Sports Group tells....in regards to a high school recruit or college player.
He may not make those other visits.
That makes sense and in a list like that it’s generally only the first and last stops you need to be concerned about. Hopefully it’s just wrangling for more NIL as you say and surely we can outbid Washington.To me it’s Kentucky or Washington and is most likely trying to raise his NIL value
Which I’m cool withWe might be paying a bag to Davis
Same deal as Bacot I’d assume. Great college player that no one in the NBA wants, so their only real choice is stay in college and try to get a huge NIL bag while they can.That is funny. A player like this at UK would have been gone four years ago. What's the deal with this guy? One of the top guards. Strange.
In all seriousness I guess time, money, contracts are an uphill battle? Idk
That’s what I was leaning towards …In all seriousness I guess time, money, contracts are an uphill battle? Idk
Nope just people speculating what might happen but nothing for sureLatest I heard was Arkansas, heard anything new?
I hope they’re willing to pay him, he’s worth it imoNope just people speculating what might happen but nothing for sure
Idk if you take him to the derby I would guess he would get quite a few UK fans recognizing him, You can't want other schools making an impression while a kid is on a visit to your school.UL visit for Derby…that’s not ideal for anyone else on that list. Could make any kid want to commit after seeing that in person.
Maybe Katina is back in business.How is u6 getting all these visits?
Yes. Pope was scheduled to meet with JQ today but that didn’t happen.Not visiting UK for another week? Like what?
UL has been irrelevant for years. Why are they suddenly in the mix for everyone?
Derby is on the 4th. He will be gone.UL visit for Derby…that’s not ideal for anyone else on that list. Could make any kid want to commit after seeing that in person.
I don't think Pope shares this perspective. He's all about RETURNING kids because they're known commodities. Why pay ANYONE that kind of money when you have no idea of what they can do at the college level? He's more about "team" and the name on the front of the jersey, and I LOVE IT!I hope they’re willing to pay him, he’s worth it imo
Could this have anything to do with UK contacting TJ Power? Maybe, but my guess is probably not. I suspect UK would think they could add both, as Power still has a lot to show before expecting to start on a big-time Div. I team.Me too. This is not a good update
I’m glad Pope/UK didn’t get into a bidding war, here. I love JQ’s potential, but, no way in hell is he worth $1.5-2M at this point when he wouldn’t have been a huge factor in year 1 & will likely reopen his recruitment to the highest bidder for his SO year. For $1.5-2M, I would expect an all-conference type of player, or at the very least, a guy who is ready to be a significant contributor, immediately. Easy decision for Pope, IMO.
they got hookers, or so everyone has heardMaybe he's wanting to see other schools then come visit here last and just not leave?

You realize we have exactly zero returning players right? Every single one of them left. Like, we have an entire 3 dudes on the team lol.I don't think Pope shares this perspective.

Figured Bacot would have tried some way to come back even though he has been around 5 or 6 years.Same deal as Bacot I’d assume. Great college player that no one in the NBA wants, so their only real choice is stay in college and try to get a huge NIL bag while they can.
Recruiting has been thrown into a high state of volatility.Me too. This is not a good update
The bidding game.I think Louisville is just being used to drive NIL from UK. Everyone knows we don't want to lose a player to any school, but Louisville is about as bad as it gets and will drive boosters to pony up to prevent it from happening.
Good thing is if he has Fueger, Hart , and Brooks( if he comes) those are solid coaches to have help you recruit because most of them are PROVEN recruiters.Pope is in a pickle, trying to build an entire roster while being basically an unknown quantity in the game. It will take time to build connections and have no doubt he will have a good roster next year and a great one from then on
You weren't paying attention. I was talking about the types of kids Pope is after, not how many returned. He is doing the opposite of Cal, in trying to get guys he thinks will enough about the team to want to return a second year regardless of how that player does the first year. Continuity is the answer.You realize we have exactly zero returning players right? Every single one of them left. Like, we have an entire 3 dudes on the team lol.
Those are some fast boobs.Recruiting has been thrown into a high state of volotitity.
The bidding game.
I mean I’m a millennial not gen z. Not exactly fluent on emojiThat’s what I was leaning towards …
