Honestly, let him go if he wants to go. I'm done bowing to elite level recruits who will crumble down the stretch if that's their mentality.
Caleb Wilson oh no Calipari...

Folks, it's time to change your mindset. Don't stress so much over a recruit. This isn't Calipari's Kentucky anymore. Have we learned nothing about a lot of these 'elite' recruits?
There are folks here, ALL they care about is recruiting class rankings. Ya know, "the place to be", rather than the place to win titles. And then they create threads to let us know how they're doing in the NBA.
It’s already weird, last ditch effort for Cal and he gets to see our NIL offer. He might not be as confident in Cenac as we all perceive.
Well, after our loss to St. Peters, 25%. The other 25% when we lost to Oakland.
Or something like this:
I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
His job is to compete with every program for talent. It is foolish to think he would not go after the same players KY is recruiting.
Pope didn’t say this, it would be a recruiting violation to speak about a specific recruit. He would not talk in anything other than general terms about recruiting.
It was something someone asked him and he gave the standard, we cannot discuss blah blah blah but we feel we are in a good place. It is out there and you can go find. I will not go look it up again. Was on a podcast or interview out there. Direct question was on wilson and Cenec.
Bundalo re-opens his recruitment. Is he the back-up if we miss on Wilson?
After Cals visit, Wilson is now going to take an official visit to Arkansas. Cal wants and needs both these guys and insiders are saying that the Tyson chicken coffers have been opened to make it happen.
The timing of Bundalo is interesting, what with Wilson seriously contemplating Arkansas and all.
I've always felt like Wilson's "lock" status was BS. Why would his family continue to be hearing all these offers?

$$$$ talks!
Haha he said “I’m going to Napa to pull up to that fake school Prolific Prep to find him.” Lmfao.
Wilson still seems to be most likely scenario for UK. Some of you lose your chill in the fox hole at the first sight of competition.
yep
Cal has been recruiting him for 2-3 years
i am not sure why anyone is shocked he is visiting Arkansas
How do we know how much each school has to offer? Last week I read here that we offered Wilson over 1 million. How can we get accurate verification? Do you have a source for actual numbers.
First offer was $1.1MM. Now $2.0MM. Per Sisk.
I had seen that there was some question whether or not he would take the Arkansas visit as he had planned. He definitely is now.
Really?
I see fans who want both. Real NBA-level talent and real winning on the college level.
Maybe I missed the fans you're talking about.
Wilson also visited Knoxville"John Calipari, Arkansas staff visit five-star wing Caleb Wilson
Five-star jumbo wing Caleb Wilson remains open in his recruitment and on Monday he received a visit from Arkansas head coach John Calipari along with assistants Chin Coleman and Kenny Payne. The Wilsons are working on setting up a visit to the SEC school. The 6-foot-9 wing from has recently visited UCF, Georgia Tech and Southern Cal."
Pope get this guy now!

Or we've realized that if a kid is taking visits and being offered millions of dollars while visiting with coaches who have recruited him 2 to 3 years longer than Pope has, it might be wise to pump the brakes a bit.
I don’t worry about recruiting anymore. It will work out.
Probably not. But it’s what the going price is nowadays for a top ten guy . Myself, I’d rather spend the money on a proven guy from the portal than taking a chance on a freshman that’s most likely going to only be here one year anyway.
I don’t know. I read where his dad loves Cal, but the young man wasn’t as enamored with Arkansas. Again, not my info, but apparently the Arkansas offer was for more money (when we were at $1.1MM). Now that we bumped it up, I would think UK is in good shape.
FWIW that’s definitely not the current feeling among some experts
It may be that Wilson is still strongly favoring the Cats, we don't know. It appears the kid is visiting everyone with 'university ' in their name. It seems like we have a shot with cenac and possibly bundalo or ament. Now ament is not strong physically but his skills and height would be awesome for a future pf. So it seems like we are in a great spot for the pf position atleast.
If this is referring to Vanderbilt, you know he was actually injured, right? He missed almost his entire rookie season due to that same foot injury.
$2 million for a kid barely in the RSCI top 5 is insane money.
But if we have the resources, why not?
