Doesn't he look SUPER INTRIGUED? Like a kid in a candy store. I don't see him standing up to the physical play that's allowed in the SEC.
It absolutely did ruin the game. I can't be the only UK fan who wonders how much longer we're going to have this sport.I don't think we were ever in it. These kids (imo) don't care about school choice anymore, it's who can give the most NIL. NIL money carries the school name with the best of the best players. I doubt our freshman are killing it with NIL, but that could go up depending on how long they stay
To me NIL ruined the game
NIL has ruined the game but the biggest impact it has had is to spread talent among more teams. Now that it is legal to buy players, it is a auction rather than recruiting. If Duke , Arkansas , and Louisville really want Ament and the almighty dollar is a factor, all three schools would have unlimited funds for their NIL to buy the kid. How many freshmen are worth two million or more for one year of playing for any school? Flagg is not your typical freshman and he is by far the best freshman in college this year. Ament is NOT on the same level as Flagg. Who ever gets Ament, including us, will be disappointed at year end next year in his contribution.I don't think we were ever in it.

FIFYThe winner of over paying his NIL gets Nate Ament
He needs a good recruiting win. Not saying it’s the end of the world or anything but this will continue to raise questions about his ability to recruit high talent.Why for Pope?
