Darryn Peterson down to 4 schools
- Thread starter wldctky
- Start date
I like our chances with that top 4
Same, but I'd rather compete with Kansas than a team like Duke who focuses on freshmen. If he's solely looking for money, then I'm definitely super concerned about Kansas. Only time will tell though. This is a nice start nonetheless.
If he’s a reclass I don’t really see Kansas, they’re loaded at guard
If he's solely looking for money, then I don't want him here. Had enough of that crap over the years.
If we land him. That's a clear sign. That Pope and company are about to put us in the house tonight. UK! We coming back for that uconn.

What in the world do you think NIL is about?
He like and followed Garrsion tweet so that's a good tea leaf for us
There can be a healthy balance. Uk offers 700K and ample playing time while KU offers an even million but with a roster loaded at your position (just an example). You don’t always just have to go with the highest bidder.
Exactly . If someone doesn’t want players that is looking for money good luck watching college basketball.
If you’re mad at players wanting money or wanting to go to the Nba then I don’t know what to tell anyone .
he signed a very nice deal with ADIDAS but it is not binding on which school he chooses.
If he reclasses I like Kentuckys chances if he stays in 2025 it’s Kansas
I like what Pope said on KSR when asked about recruiting top tier talent. That it's definitely still in the plans.
You didn't read my post, then. I said guys "solely looking for money". Pope is looking for guys who are looking to win big in college (first) and get paid to play (second), while possibly prepping for the NBA (third). Specifically in that order. It almost sounds like you're mad at Pope

And if college devolves to everyone offering more and more NIL, then the college game will be dead in no time. Whether certain people here watch it or not.
It will all implode eventually as people with money will stop giving so much in a few years. Those with money have it for a reason and they aren’t going to piss it all away by giving to teenagers to play ball.
Also, Alvin Brooks has some recruiting ties with Peterson while going after him at Baylor.
You do realize that Mashburn and Delk both almost left UK a year earlier than they did. The main reason they came back was because they wanted to be drafted higher and make more money.
These kids can want to make a living and love Kentucky simultaneously. It's totally proper that their living comes first.
For those that thought that the only reason that big time recruits was coming here was to play for Calipari. Well then. Why didn't Jayden Quaintance, Somto Cyril, & Darryn Peterson follow Calipari to Arkansas?

It goes against the original purpose of going to college / university, and scholarships. You get a scholarship in something because a school felt you were good enough in what you were doing to help them out that they offered to pay for all your room, board, food, books and tuition. And now they want more than scholarships when most of them don't even really care about school and playing for that school? That's what Pope is about. The point of an education is so that when you're done you'll be able to (hopefully) get out there and make decent money. If they're not about education, then I'm not cool with that, and they can move along. I'm not ever going to sell out the point of education.
to begin with that is not correct
the odds of him staying in the 25 class is about 1%
he grew up a UK fan. before Cal left i would put the odds at 80% UK
now i think UK is still the favorite but by a very slim margin
So you think he reclasses? The growing up a UK fan was the kiss of death under cal.
if i made a wager on it i would feel good
recruits do not even talk about reclass until after the Peach Jam
I hope you are sitting down…
