Pope is on it. Chances? Better than we might think, but UT presumed the leader, with Vandy and Maryland in it as well. This according to Go Kentucky site on youtube, put out this morning.

He's going to be Knecht anywhere he goes. He's Reeves-level good.He is from Nashville and I am hearing UT is telling him he is next Kenect and he is leaning that way. Of course they also are telling him Elite 8 is their ceiling.
That's the goal and the dream.Go get Lanier and Robinson. What a roster that would be!!
Today or tomorrow?By the way, there is speculation there may be a boom tomorrow. Achor? Who knows
My guess would be Achor, but I have no sources and just a gut feeling. He's an enormous portal addition who hasn't had the buzz you'd expect – even with his "do not contact" tag that he allegedly has (I've seen it on the board. No idea where I could confirm that). We have a spot for a dominant PF, and that big man can throw down with bigs down low or hit threes.By the way, there is speculation there may be a boom tomorrow. Achor? Who knows
You're right. Who knows?By the way, there is speculation there may be a boom tomorrow. Achor? Who knows
All the excitement Wednesday and nothing yesterday is like being married to a nympho with split personalities. 😂Fueger has started a thing with these booms. Definitely keeps everyone engaged!!!
Man those numbers are crazy. I feel like he’s the one thing we’re missing; that elite 3-level scorer that can fill it up every night. He would raise our ceiling immensely.This kid is worth a million in NIL.
He instantly puts UK in the Final Four conversation.
#1 in offensive efficiency last year.
51% shooter.
44% from three.
88% from the free throw line.
8 free throw attempts per game.
Microwave scoring for a team that needs a go-to guy.
Surround him with what we've got, and you have a real shot at a top 5 team.
G - Butler - Kriisa - Perry

I'm sending in another $41Throw the whole bag at this dude!
He is a heavy EKU lean per MeManBoy0By the way, there is speculation there may be a boom tomorrow. Achor? Who knows
Why would anyone choose EKU over UK?He is a heavy EKU lean per MeManBoy0
Two words: BuceesWhy would anyone choose EKU over UK?
If we can’t snag a kid away from EKU, something is seriously wrong here.He is a heavy EKU lean per MeManBoy0
Yeah back when I said the wife told me our budget would allow $1000 to the UK NIL, I didn't realize the NIL was a monthly thing...so we ramped that back a bit. 🤣I'm sending in another $41
If he said it then we have a real chance of getting him.
if we could have added Osober to this lineup along with Lanier that team would have been nasty and an instant contender. Bummed we lost out on him but getting Lanier alone like you said improves us tremendously and in the conversation with Popes coaching ability.This kid is worth a million in NIL.

We may not have the NIL left. But, and this is just a thought, maybe we do. We lost out on some guys because we didn't get into bidding wars. It's possible that Pope was holding some back so that we have the money to make a big splash at the end. Maybe.I hope it's not Lanier OR Robinson. As others have mentioned, I think we need both or at the very least an elite talent with Robinson. If that were to happy, then I'd genuinely be excited. Just not sure we can pull that off or if we even have the NIL to do so.
Adding him as another point guard would be a tough sell.
Like you said, we definitely might not but then again we also might. Hard to say either way. I hope we do because I personally feel we need Jaxson Robinson and another elite guy, preferably a guard/wing.We may not have the NIL left. But, and this is just a thought, maybe we do.

I had a thought that it would be nice if the NIL fund was public record for us to be able to see. But then I thought better of it. Imagine if recruits could look and see exactly how much you have to spend. That wouldn't end well.Like you said, we definitely might not but then again we also might. Hard to say either way.

I can understand the appeal of that pitch. Knecht was, what, 2nd or 3rd in POY voting, SEC POY, and far and away the focal point of Tennessee’s offense? I figured they’d try to re-create Knecht in the portal this year and this guy makes sense. Would be awesome to steal him away…He is from Nashville and I am hearing UT is telling him he is next Kenect and he is leaning that way. Of course they also are telling him Elite 8 is their ceiling.
Yeah, I've had similar thoughts. It's probably for the best if the overall amount is unknown to the public. All I can do at this point is hope that one of Wells, Richmond, Christie, or Lanier decide to stay in college and come to UK along with Robinson. That's a big ask but I'm dreaming big. 😂I had a thought that it would be nice if the NIL fund was public record for us to be able to see. But then I thought better of it.
