Hypothetically, how much NIL would a VJ Edgecombe decommit from Baylor be worth to UK?

How much would a kid like Edgecombe ask for in the current NIL market?

$750,000?

A million?

I'd give up sweets for a year if the kid had a change of heart and went to Kentucky. I know it's not going to happen, but I could think of nothing more invigorating than a decommit from Baylor followed up by a commitment to UK.

Don't tell me a VJ decommit wasn't the first thought on your mind when Alvin Brooks III came to UK.

Who cares? Seriously.

VJ will stick with baylor but if he didnt itd be a top 3 player coming here and change the outlook on next season

They had the 7’ decommit and ask out of his NLI a couple days ago thanks to Alvin Brooks leaving. Who’s to say that VJ couldn’t?

We have a bunch of fans who refuse to entertain such thoughts because they don't like to get their hopes up.

Thing is, we get to dream again with Pope, and like @kywildcat41086 said, why can't another decommit happen if it already happened? The season's a long way away.

You keep clicking on, and responding to, threads you don't care about.

$750,000 would be my top for any player.

I think Edgecombe would be worth it.

Crazy part is VJ and the 7’ was both recruited by Alvin Brooks to come to Baylor…… So anything is possible especially with the way this portal thing is going these days.

I think Edgecombe would be worth it.

This would have been true last year. This year it’s probably more like $1.2 unfortunately.

I would first secure the biggest names in the portal that Pope can get to commit to his philosophy and offensive/defensive strategies. I’d much rather give a guy like Davis 1.5 mil than VJ 750,000-1.5 mil.

After we’ve secured our top 8-9 players then I would offer VJ (if he asked out prior, no tempering!) 500,000-1,000,000.

No promises of starting. He has to earn it. Come here and play within the team or you’ll ride the bench. No more coddling freshmen with playing time/starting spots.
