We already have one to two freshmen set to start next season, if Ament comes he’s probably assuming he starts. I don’t know about that. Can you get a more known commodity at his position for the same or less in the portal? If he comes, great, if not, I won’t be torn up about it.
As much as I hate UL, can’t really blame them after the last two Kenny Payne seasons. High fiving may be a little bit much, but they have reason to be at least a little excited.
Cmon now man. I’ve lived in Louisville all of my 46yrs and have to put up with it daily. The simple fact is that UL is improving at a rapid pace under Kelsey. I’m not at all taking away from our win against them or from our season! Simply saying that “if” they land 2 top 10 guys in this class they take another step in improving further. It all starts with recruiting.
BOOM goes the dynamite !
Sack up?? lol. Ok bro. Yall just keep letting them land too 10 recruits and remind me how somehow it doesn’t matter.
According to an article yesterday, UK has the highest offer with UT and UL 2/3. They also said UK’s offer wasn’t as crazy as some others have gotten. Duke paid so much for others plus returning guys that they made a lower offer.
I think I understand, too, Hytchye. It doesn''t need be alarmist or whiney about lil' brother. Good points. It is rather remarkable Kelsey has made such a turnaround from the absolute dumpster fire that was Louisville. And we do want to see Kentucky land the recruits they prioritize. As they do Ament, as anyone should.
According to the article yesterday, Duke has the lowest offer of the finalists. So if it’s money it won’t be them
Agreed. The last thing I'm going to do is worry about what little brother is doing for next year. Or any time unless they are our next game. We've got plenty on our plate to finish this season out.
Hate to tell you but….I believe U6 is going to be really good in the near future.
Me too. UL knows how to pay and cheat but not like Duke. They are the Kings.
UL almost bankrupted the school to compete in sports. At one time they had millions in the school foundation and they raided it for the sports teams. It’s all gone. Their Administration is win at all costs. We will pay the bills later. Mitch and Eli are anything but that. Word is they take more for the school from football funds than any SEC foe.
Duke lives up to their founder's namesake every day. A slimy, monopoly loving greedy prick.
Duke reminds me of politicians. They act all high and mighty telling everyone how to do things the right way with principles.
Why is it if a kid chooses UL, it is all about the $$, but if a kid chooses us, it is all about Kentucky. We can't have it both ways. If a kid is after the $$ and he chooses UK, we drapped a bag just like any other school. Some kids could care less about KY basketball regardless of the $$. Some kids will chose KY and the $$ will have zero to do with their decision. We will never win them all and we will not lose them all bcause someone else paid more $$. We are not the only place a kid can go and be successful. It has been 13 years since we would have been the most successful place for a basketball recruit. Since 2012, we have not been the best destination for a recruit. All this said, does not in any way suggest that a kid would not be very lucky to play basketball at Kentucky, it means we are not the only right option for kids to play their college basketball. We as fans, need to realize if Ament choses a school other tha us, we will be fine and he may have a wonderful one and done season. Most likely, wherever he choses to play, he will not raise a championship trophy next March. This is call RECRUITING in a dysfunctional NIL recruiting world.
WE Western Kentuckians have no love for the name Duke. Long before there was ever a Laettner or even CBB.
It hasn’t been about the name on the front of the jersey since the 70’s and maybe to in state kids. It’s always been about the money legal or otherwise
You may want to let our coaching staff know about a mic drop up in New York. Because pope is working his ass off to land Ament. Just like he did with Wilson. Everyone wants to claim pulling top ranked freshman don’t matter. But want to ignore the fact that pope himself doesn’t agree with them.BOOM goes the dynamite !
Drop the mic moment

absolutely killer stuff there, MdWildcat... killer comment. I'd like to second that for every "old timer" "blue hair" and any other halfway "old" fan around here. I seen a lot of comments, but yeah. Spot on, brother. (and the Pitino comment ... that is the WISEST thing I've heard come from a coach's mouth for perspective on the game nowadays.
