Dammit. Here I was already panicking.No chance he is drafted. He'll be back.
This is BS.
You enter the portal, get a huge NIL deal (contract) then do this.
But for all those who like this new era of sports, this will continue to happen.
I don't buy into this "getting" feedback crap one bit. You think these players don't already know what they need to work on? If they don't then what are these coaches doing?
Remember when he tried to encourage the walk-ons to put their name in the draft? Lol. Sometimes Cal was from another planet.I seem to recall that Calipari used to say all the players should enter the Draft to get feedback, etc. If that is true, why wouldn't even more guys go through the process? I would guess you have to be chosen to even go through the workouts and talk to teams, but I don't actually know how that works. For instance, would a guy like Garrison benefit from going through the draft process even if he knew he wouldn't be selected?
This is why you need contracts. if you get an NIL deal and leave for the draft and get drafted you do not get the NIL !This is BS.

Probably means he’s gone after next year since you’re only allowed to enter twice.
The experience of showcasing your game in front of pro guys for an honest analysis, has to be quite a thrill for these guys.If I was his age and got chance to go work out for pro teams and the combine for a month after Spring semester that would be a no brainer. Who amoing you wouldn't.

Cool. Bet $500 he’s in UK blue next year. Oweh too.This is BS.

He's actually not. He's been a pretty darn good 3 pt shooter his whole life besides last season. 35+%The feedback: You're a sucky three point shooter. Go back to school. Work on your horrific shot selection. Get paid. And don't come back to see us for two more years. Got it, slick?
Definitely underestimating Pope’s IQ if you think they are giving players NIL money and then letting them leave for the NBA.Yeap. They're getting their NIL first so that they have something to fall back on if the NBA draft doesn't work out.
"Besides last season."He's actually not. He's been a pretty darn good 3 pt shooter his whole life besides last season. 35+%
Pulled up his HS stats and according to MaxPreps he was 54% from 3 on 90 attempts as a Junior."Besides last season."
155 attempts.
27%.
That's like saying someone is a great driver outside of the couple DUIs they got in a calendar year.
I love the young man's game, but he's not a good three point shooter right now. In time, he certainly could be. I don't understand why you think it's "putting him down" to state facts about his percentage.
Same as Oweh they're going to get evaluated and both will be at UK in 25-26.
You are probably right but while he may be here but it seems his heart may not be. That is the difference in todays players.Cool. Bet $500 he’s in UK blue next year. Oweh too.
There heart will be at UK just going to go get evaluated to see what they need to work on so they can get to the next level.You are probably right but while he may be here but it seems his heart may not be. That is the difference in todays players.
It's the best thing for us as long as Pope doesn't do what Cal did and do everything possible to deplete his team every year by moving players in and out like cattle.You are probably right but while he may be here but it seems his heart may not be. That is the difference in todays players.
He did have a broken finger most of last year, so he might not be as bad at 3pt shooting as we think.The feedback: You're a sucky three point shooter. Go back to school. Work on your horrific shot selection. Get paid. And don't come back to see us for two more years. Got it, slick?
As a Freshman, he was on a better team and shot less, especially from 3. He almost doubled his 3 point attempts as a Sophomore.He did have a broken finger most of last year, so he might not be as bad at 3pt shooting as we think.
(I'm not saying he's staying in the draft by any means)
I would say the difference in the players is the difference in the system. To each his own, but I say don’t hate the player hate the game…You are probably right but while he may be here but it seems his heart may not be. That is the difference in todays players.
