That's the thing about Cal he didn't give a crap he was all about that kind of thing.... He didn't give 2 craps about UK and look how many other players sit out for most of a season like Sharpe did while he was here. Good thing is he's in the rear view mirror now thank the heavens above. Just hope that Pope can put together a more talented roster this coming year a better one than he had this past year.
I've never seen this before. It's fantastic!
I agree just thought injuries decimated our team. When our guys were well we hung good with most teams. Hope we do upgrade!!
i did not set it at 1 million shoot a 1/2 million is to much just to play one season. They are getting a free education aren't they ? Need contracts instead of this wild west thing.
Why do you think a free semester in school is enough? Why would you not want a free market to set what someone is worth?
Wow man that would show him!
Even if he is back in 6 months, that means he’s back practicing most likely. I don’t see him being in game shape in 6 months. Hell we have had players with a tweaked calf muscle miss more time than that.
I understand that but in the meantime our guys are getting picked off. Making me nervous dragging around while it seems everyone else is getting on it.
That was the final straw for me w/ Cal. I was probably a little later to the table than a lot of folks
Didn't Kelvin Sampson get canned at IU for improper phone contact with a recruit?
But he had an ACL surgery last month....why risk him being rusty...that is the concern...and what is his price tag
Earlier stuff I read was that he is scheduled to be ready for contact by September which would make him ready for the season, but we all know how these type things go. plus he'd miss all the summer workouts and practices with the team while rehabbing.
What do you mean "our guys" just because we contact them doesn't make them "ours". Most of the guys we are after are contacted by dozens of schools.
may not have been what it was supposed to be, but that is what it has turned into..........free agency
Most of the better players we have contacted have or are going elsewhere. Have to believe that several of those top guys we would have loved to had. The best players are getting dwindled down on a daily basis. If we all the sudden lost Alvaro, Pierre and Yates the highly skilled guys would be that much more less. Guess I should have said a ton of the better players are getting picked up on a daily basis.
Would you like it if you income was based on what someone THOUGHT you should be paid ? Free education, LOL. 1970's called, they want their 4 year commitments back.
He is an ATROCIOUS FT shooter 47.9% so if the games close and we need defense he can't be counted on to make FT in the clutch JMO.
Amen brother. Particularly for a high school kid. It is utter madness. I just don't believe the figures being thrown out for NIL. I have not seen or heard of anyone that is actually involved with it stating ridiculous amounts like those being stated.
I agree with this but we are however going back.
It doesn't matter much what you or I think unless you can get the market on board.
Keep at it. NO ONE in their right mind would take him back in these circumstances. Arky is that way >>>>>>
I will never understand this take. Pope put together a roster this past season that was capable of winning a title. Take the 2nd and 3rd best shooters off Houston and/or Florida and limit their respective PG and PF with nagging injury and neither one makes the S16.
It still pisses me off that we have fans that deflected for Calipari during that season when he turned our program into an example of complete cuckery.
