I said for months UK had no chance for Darryn Peterson

Geez OP
I think this deal reported in Nov 2023 kind of eliminated UK.
Adidas Basketball Signs Darryn Peterson to NIL Deal
The OP probably....
Smash has been a great poster of news for a LONG while. He gets a pass or ten. (Try it sometime. It takes a special breed..) Thanks Smash! @Smashcat
I think everytime a player says that, Pope should just tell them "Okay, next."
Solid poster which makes this post so odd. Day drinking is my bet.
Ankle monitor is contingent on beating a woman. I'm sure he already has that covered because I'm sure Self wouldn't recruit him otherwise.
From what I remember, Cal stopped recruiting him once we bagged Wiltjer. Wiltjer picked UK in late-August. Miller picked Baylor a few weeks later in October.
They have a special "holding" cell for the car-kickers as well, I think it is NIL-funded...
This has to be one of the most asinine takes I have seen.. This is not true never was true and never will be true.
I’d have to say Kansas is the choice, I can see K state or USC pony up a huge NIL deal for him though. This is obviously about his biggest market or boosters. At least this appears to be the case from this list. Kansas is the best choice for his development and they paid a ton for Hunter so I can see them pony up for him too.
K state is rumored to be spending lots of cash. They paid Coleman Hawkins over a million a year.
Most of them don't give two ishes and a rat's ass about where they go. It's all about "who's gonna get me my paper". Nothing more, nothing less. Which in a way I understand., you should be a bit selfish when it comes to your income. But I can't imagine living my whole life that way, as basically a merc.
Agreed. Smash is a great contributor to this board.
Of all the people smashing him you picked me to reprimand? I feel honored.
That’s kind of a weird way to describe it imo. I understand sports and fandom but it’s not that different from any other job that 99% of us do. If you had two companies wanting you to be an accountant you’d typically go with the one that paid the most if it was significant. If it was close then you’d probably go for other factors but if one wanted to pay you 30% more it’s going to be difficult to say no.
It seems like the class is kind of closing in. Reibe cancelled his visit, Peterson cancelled his. Ament postponed his visit. But Mikel Brown scheduled one and Caleb Wilson is still a priority with his visit coming on 9/13.
After Moreno and Johnson, these seem to be the top targets:
Wilson
Brown
Yessoufou
Mullins

Brother Creed,
I know you are good people, just hadn't conversed in a long while. Just picked you out of the Blue... Go CATS!
That’s why I said I get it. But also you have to find a place where you’ll be happy as well. If you take the higher pay but the work environment is hell it’s usually not worth it. It’s also a two way street for the employer too. Is it worth paying all that money if the guy you bring in is a total ass?
That’s all I was saying. Sometimes money shouldn’t be the only factor.
