Yeah, he sucks.If he left i couldnt see too many teams wanting a player like that anyways
Or could be his agent looking for a bigger pay day. Seems like we deal with idiot agents at Kentucky all the timeCould be he thought he was recruited over
Could be anything. Glad he is staying.
Agent was shopping him around for more NIL. That was the rumor.What was the reason for his possible exit? Agent trying to shop for more NIL? Not happy with adding Garrison?
They do and it's not going to change unfortunately.Or could be his agent looking for a bigger pay day. Seems like we deal with idiot agents at Kentucky all the time
Agreed. It would be an unwise decision, in my opinion. If I'm a coach looking at a guy who had already left 2 schools (Drexel and UK) for what? Money, playing time, NBA exposure? And why? Because his friend didn't sign or he's afraid of competition? It's not a good look, as I said last night.If he left i couldnt see too many teams wanting a player like that anyways
No he's good but to commit and then walk away for more money wouldn't be a good look at all. I'm glad he's stayingYeah, he sucks.
No. Must have been something to it if Pope went to visit him.People panicked for nothing yesterday
$$$$$I still don't get why he ever wanted to leave. Tons of playing time.
That's what I was thinking as well. The way that story came out seemed to me to be legit. I was just hoping it was overblown, but it seemed to me it was a matter of him having some second thoughts because his friend didn't sign and maybe also because we signed Brandon Garrison instead. There was something to it, even if we don't know all of the details.No. Must have been something to it if Pope went to visit him.
Give it a few minutes and Matt jones will be “hearing” this.Hope this is accurate.

But I have a feeling I know how that conversation went with Pope, who is a smart guy and has lived long enough and played enough and coached enough to know these things, he likely told Williams that UK is gonna be his best opportunity for everything he's hoping to accomplish, and Pope would be right about that. He probably also suggested that making a knee-jerk kind of decision is often not a wise choice. Competition is gonna be everywhere, especially in the NBA. So, if he wants to improve, get stronger, and really prepare for the NBA, this team and coaching staff is gonna get him there. Keep a good attitude, work hard every day, and watch it happen.
For my part, I'm glad he's still with us. He's gonna be a big part of this team.
That story came out and then there was a story about how he loved being committed to UK that came out at the same time too. It really all is pretty weird to say the leastThat's what I was thinking as well. The way that story came out seemed to me to be legit.

lol for nothing? I mean Pope had to meet with him, clearly it was on the table..People panicked for nothing yesterday
I think there was something therelol for nothing? I mean Pope had to meet with him, clearly it was on the table..
I think he eats it up.Now we can sleep a little better this weekend. Bet Pope has a lot of moments he wonders why he didn't go ahead and make a doctor.
Petersen’s dad said they weren’t reclassing anymore due to all the coaching changes. He’s a 25 kidI would still go get Achor, Robinson, and Poplar/ Reclass Petersen and LETS GO….
Yes. There's a small percentage of ppl that eat up stress and spit it out and love it. I think Pope is one of those ppl.I think he eats it up.
So the rumors were true he definitely was considering a transfer.Agreed. It would be an unwise decision, in my opinion.

Yes. I don’t like it but it is part of the game now. Hope you are feeling good, Kenny.They do and it's not going to change unfortunately.
