I just have that feeling that this is for publicity and so other schools will increase their NIL offer for him.
If they were available I would, but he is the best of what left and a good college player who I really wish Kentucky could get backIf you’re going to dream, I wish you would dream of a better player then Reeves.
If Cal cared about winning, he could easily budget $1 million a year to help fund the NIL accounts.Someone must be ponying up some NIL money!
Because the people who "floated" that info around doesn't have a gd clue what UK is doing and who they are talking to. It hasn't been all peaches and cream I will be the first to admit. But let the movie play out before rating it. KSR doesn't know jack shit and there is a reason their ass got tossed to the curb. Why a lot of posters here suddenly worship MJ because he is negative toward UK , more so Cal is crazy to me. We know he never knew half of what he claimed, now, he is simply a scourned , ass hurt wannabe insider.Didn't even think we were a factor in his recruitment anymore. This is good news.
Not saying you are a MJ rider, just that my point that a lot of people took the KSR info that UK had no shot at Kaluma as truth.Because the people who "floated" that info around doesn't have a gd clue what UK is doing and who they are talking to.

Burks is way better than he's been given credit on this boardGlad we are getting a visit but not sure he will come here.
I'd be fine with him and somto and one good shooter. Burks and Hart would be nice bonuses but not needed as calipari isn't gonna play them anyways.
100% agree with you….however the team as currently constructed needs at minimum 2 veteran pieces in the playing rotation if not 3. Otherwise you are asking the team to accomplish something historically significant that’s never happened in the history of the sport with no Juniors or Seniors on the team.Burks is way better than he's been given credit on this board
Totally agree. Too many people tend to look at the number of stars beside a players name as the be all. Kids improve. Some more than others, and a summer can make a world of difference, especially if the kid gets with a really good trainer and works on his weakness. A lot of ratings are old and not updated reflecting a kids work he has put in.Burks is way better than he's been given credit on this board
don't know about all of the delays but if you watch Burks on his tapes, he is long & lanky and can handle the ball. He looks like a very nice player. Even if by some miracle Kaluma did pick UK, there is plenty of minutes to go around for Burks. He could play either forward spot, & if this insane coach ever changed anything up & went small, Burks could play in the middle. His quickness would be hard for bigger, less mobile centers to guardThey shouldn’t be mutually exclusive. Burks is a developmental piece who should be in college for 2-3 years & won’t be much of a factor next year with, or, without more additions. Kaluma is a one year rental who would be long gone by the time Burks sees any significant floor time.
Burks will, at best, get backup minutes at the 4 next season whether we get Kaluma, or, not. We have zero depth there & don’t even have an actual PF on the roster. If he’s good enough to contribute, the minutes are there & Kaluma won’t stand in the way of that. I don’t doubt that Kaluma’s visit is the reason for Burks delaying his decision. But, it’s makes no sense, IMO.
If Cal was smart he would take a million of his salary and find a way to fund a collective.Someone must be ponying up some NIL money!
This is a risk, one I don’t know if we can take this late. I want both of them but I’d hate to go 0’fer again.That’s what was being floated.
I’ll be 60% back, we still need some shooting. More depth wouldn’t hurt just for practice and options later on down the line.The fact that we got Kaluma's first visit says something IMO.
With Bama and Arkansas duking it out over Nelson, might be the perfect storm for us getting Kaluma's first visit and locking him up.
Kaluma + Somto and I am 100% back on board.
Sure. But he should startHe shouldn't be guaranteed to start either. Compete.
I agree.You guys are putting too much on his shoulders.
If you’re expecting Kaluma to save you you’re putting him in the worst possible position to succeed.
So Kentucky isn’t the first visit
Nope, and I think Texas Tech will be getting a visit tooSo Kentucky isn’t the first visit
Plus Alabama.Nope, and I think Texas Tech will be getting a visit too
If bama gets Nelson, and they are very confident on Twitter then I can’t see them getting Kaluma.Nope, and I think Texas Tech will be getting a visit too
Some ppl have been saying that Nelson wants to play with kaluma so if he goes to bama he might try to recruit him thereIf bama gets Nelson, and they are very confident on Twitter then I can’t see them getting Kaluma.
Seems strange since they play the same way and both are 4's.Some ppl have been saying that Nelson wants to play with kaluma so if he goes to bama he might try to recruit him there
Damn, bama has Clowney and another big expecting mins already if they get Nelson, I just couldn’t see that working where everybody is happy, but atleast Kentucky got a visitSome ppl have been saying that Nelson wants to play with kaluma so if he goes to bama he might try to recruit him there
If TTU and Bama both get a visit I hope ours is the last one or at the least before bamasDamn, bama has Clowney and another big expecting mins already if they get Nelson, I just couldn’t see that working where everybody is happy, but atleast Kentucky got a visit
Some ppl have been saying that Nelson wants to play with kaluma so if he goes to bama he might try to recruit him there
Wouldn’t be our offseason up to this point, if 4 hours after getting excited our hope gets crushed again
But… Cal is flipping the coin…Stats be damned!You're looking at it the wrong way.
Hear me out. Say you flip a coin. The coin is weighted perfectly. You'd expect it to land 50% of the time on one side and 50% the time on the other. Now if we know anything about statistics we know that this doesn't mean if the first flip is heads, the 2nd flip will be tails.
What I'm trying to say is, if every coin you've flipped so far is coming up tails and you're really wanting a heads, the more times you flip it tails, the better chance the next one is heads! So striking out on all the early portal-goers we offered means we have a better chance at the tail end!
So if we truly were after 5 targets, for example, and we missed on them all. (Which, shucks that's some bad luck as theirs only a 3% chance of that happening) Then we're really likely to get our next one! It's only a ~1% chance you'd flip tails 6 times in a row.
Like I said, hear me out, think about it, it's not that crazy!
It was a joke postBut… Cal is flipping the coin…Stats be damned!
He gave little house on the prairie a one star rating and cal said that’s enoughI heard he struggles at washing feet and servant leadership.
Yes. What ever happened to players competing for playing time?He shouldn't be guaranteed to start either. Compete.
Only place the three and four star players do that. Five stars are excluded.Yes. What ever happened to players competing for playing time?
