Where is this info verifiable? There’s a lot of numbers thrown around.
There was a link here the other day in a thread. UK was like at 7.68 or something like that, but I took it as that only for portal and not including retention NIL to keep the current players here.

Exactly! Wilkerson was offered top 5 money by Indiana. Thankfully, Pope knows this guy isn’t worth that.
The question is “is it worth paying that guy if it means a title?” Ultimately it’s about the value of the player to the program at that point. Wilkerson could be the difference between an elite 8 and a title. When it comes down to missing pieces you’re gonna have to pay this late in the game. Make no mistake. The entire Wilkerson saga WAS about the money
 
So we either have a lot of money or not enough.

We either lowball players or just get outbid.

We want team players but also we want elite players

Our coach is either a fool or a genius

We either offer everybody under the sun or are selective.

I can’t keep up at this point lol
It’s all speculation, no one knows including the so called insiders. Money changes everything and Pope runs a tight ship
 
If he wants to come here fine but I wouldn’t pursue him. He already rejected us once in favor of that fake diploma mill UNC. There has to be a level of respect and a desire to play here… not just “I have elite numbers so you should waste your time begging me to come”.
Middle school "Do you like me? Yes or no?", note nonsense won't score a solitary basket.

Yesterday is gone, today is passing, we can only make the best tomorrow we can.
 
So UK passed on buying the 4Runner, now you expect them to buy the G-Wagon?

Make it make sense!😭
The 4Runner cost was getting to the point you get more value by spending up.

The G-Wagon also doesn't come with a weird service contract (add a favored person to the staff) on top of the ante.

I'd rather pay 3.5 for Jackson than 2.9 for Wilkerson, he is more valuable of an asset.
 
Just kick back and read all the posts of RR’s Insiders and Prognosticators. I read about the players who we are talking about and get excited, only to see the player commit elsewhere. This time last year we had like 2-3 players, and we did pretty well. I’m not worried one bit about our coach or his recruiting tactics.
 
Don't count on that, setbacks happen and no telling how long to get into shape and trust it 100%

In a perfect world he could be ready to play in November.
Doctors are saying otherwise. I trust them no offense. He will have the best doctors caring for him possible
 
All I can say is, that I am so glad that CCC is your problem now. Have you ever wondered why CCC has so many stars and all stars in the NBA and only 1 natty in 15 years?
He might of changed with the times. Do I like him no not since he was with Memphis but the Chicken Man foots the bill and were still in contention for Ament
Good luck with your season until you play us.
Look at our roster were loaded already.

It goes both ways like I have always said I'm a AR fan, then KY fan, then basketball fan, if you look at what we have it's very strong.
I’m not going to put you down. You are a fan. We’ve just been through it already. Maybe you’ll be right, maybe you won’t. Time will tell
 
More loaded than KY.
And you can be honest the game that mattered most last season was beating Cal in your arena for 99.9% of your fans and we made them start leaving before the game was over!
How is it more loaded than Kentucky exactly? And no it wasn’t the most important game, clearly it was Arkansas superbowl though

Now I said I wasn’t going to put you down but you have to help me out a little bit. That is insanely ridiculous.

Scared of what, the team we beat this year so bad their so called best fans in the nation were leaving before the game was over?

If you check our roster were loaded.
Hey sport, yes you beat us at home and you all played a great game. Pope had a better season than Cal, more wins this year and 8 of them against top 15 teams. How many did you all have ? We both made it to the sweet sixteen so you didn't out perform us. Just keep reminiscing about your one title in 94.

You aren't winning one with Calipari. He won only one here with nothing but NBA players every year. Say what you want about Hurley or Self but they would have won several with the talent that was here.

He will choke every time just like he did here over and over and at Memphis. Hell if there would of been 10 more minutes left in the 2012 natty he probably would of choked that away just like he did against Texas Tech .

Enjoy the under achievement and just keep printing the retro shirts celebrating your 94 season.
