You know what else Houston can't offer? The amount of eyeballs/scouts/exposure that will be on the game vs Duke, and the game of the year when Cal comes to Lex.
Not to mention any other number of the absolute highest profile games.

He gets the right players in here this offseason watch out next year!!!
I could of sworn I saw ESPN way to early had Houston there.
And ummmmm Duke has less players than we do lol. But I assume that was before the mass exodus for their ranking. But it's Duke so maybe not
They also love football and couldn’t care less about basketball.
The guy reporting the information is FAU’s basketball journalist. I’d say he’s plugged into what’s going on with FAU players.
Would change the outlook on next season for sure. Huge get if it happens.
This guy cares about Houston basketball. Their arena is now named after him.

I’m not sure championship potential is as important to most portal players as is $$ and NBA exposure
If you can start off with Williams and Davis that would be huge for Pope and the staff .
This is the truth. The University of Houston is a lot like University 6 in that it is predominantly a commuter school in an urban setting. Most of the Oil/Energy execs are aligned with A&M as College Station is only a little more than an hour away. Trust me, you don't want to be near UH at night.
Secondly, Houston is a pro town. Most people who live there forget that UH even exists. I lived there for 3 years and a phrase I never heard was "I went to the UH Game this weekend." Astros, Rockets, Texans, Aggies and Longhorns rule that City.
No way UH can outbid UK.
I don’t think there’s a better player in the portal to build around. Johnell Davis is a killer when he gets in that mode. Some nice bigs like Williams and Osobor, then 4 or 5 knockdown shooters who will give you high effort on defense to rotate in around that big 3 and it’s a top 10, if not Top 5 team.
Kentucky basketball will be just fine. No, I'm not worried about Houston now that we've got a relevant coach. Our NIL money will easily be top 1-2-3 every season moving forward, but by all means freak out if it makes you feel better.
I thought Great was in that mix too.
Yeah he is a clown.This guy cares about Houston basketball. Their arena is now named after him.

Where was this said? And no I don't lol. Are we believing reports that Memphis/FedEx are offering 25mil? Are we even close to that amount? Are we even half?
There are just so many richer alumni bases and more lucrative cities and states, that if these schools WANTED to, they could put UK outside of the top25. And yes, Houston is one of them. With a snap of a finger any number of Houston based companies could outspend UK right now. If they wanted to.
What in my post was freaking out? I'm just informing you on basic financials. It's just silly to think that there aren't places out there that couldn't match UKs NIL if they wanted to.
Be glad that no one seems to care about their college basketball team the way we do.

No, I don't think Houston's college basketball team will be leading the country in NIL money.

And I bet most of it goes to the football team.
Not true for hoops. It is true that people are pretty fair weather, but the weather’s been pretty good for Coogs basketball last few years. That being said uzan from ou committed and they still haven’t found room on the roster. Sampson is not one to get in bidding wars, so UK shouldn’t worry too much about a bidding war. I would think if it’s truly down to UH v UK he would prob end up in lex.
Kansas right now for me…..UCONN will have several more portal additions.
At least do some research before you post so you don’t look silly.
Maybe he got them backwards. I knew Houston didn't have 8 or 9 million people thoigh
This FAU insider person is a damn kid man, he is like 13 or 14 years old

Look up the Houston metro population - not just their downtown. That’s all the suburbs. The metro population is 7.1 million. 😂
I think we got duped lol, this is a dang middle schooler man
