Nate Ament announces his top 5 and will announce college destination in April 1st

[SkyPrince1]

Lou will be legit next year, like it or not

We may lose @lou next year

Lou will be a good team

I was under the impression they were losing most of their current team.
Hepburn, Edwards, Smith, ?

For recruits, Brown (no2 pg in 2025 class, super fast) and that German pf, all are solid pieces

Kasean Pryor, who is a stud transfer for Lou, was hurted and he will be back.

Their coach is good and I believe lou will recruit some good transfers

New account that constantly and exclusively slurps Duke and Louisville.

You seem odd to me.

Whatever you think.

 

[westerncat]

That is simply not true. Wall, Davis, Zion and a few others were no brainers.

I don't think any of these players got that much for playing CBB.

As long as we recognize that this statement/notion doesn't always work.. and it may cause a player to take his talents elsewhere. And I can't really blame them. What exactly did this incoming freshman do to earn 4x what I make despite me actually being a proven player? Lets be real, if this happened to any of us in our careers, we'd be pissed. So I do think you have to sort of tread carefully here. It's one thing if the guy next to you was an AA and therefore makes more money.. it's another thing if it's an 18-year old who turns out to suck but is collecting a huge pay day.

And if that happens word WILL get out and it will be that much more difficult to get talented transfers to come here.

I wouldn’t post anything about this kid anymore honestly.. He’s not coming to UK unfortunately 😐

Duke, Lou, UK, Arkansas and Tennessee

In addition, On3’s Joe Tipton reports that Ament is planning to make his college choice at the McDonald’s All-American Game, which happens April 1st.

Nice to see you were able to post a thread ,about ament and not have it hijacked by a moderator and condensed down to the other ament thread on the board . Thanks for the info Kentucky has a shot but Arkansas and the chicken man may have the last word we shall see

I’m sure it goes on at all the top schools and they keep reloading on five star freshman and top transfers. As coach you have to figure it out and make it work

 

[JohnnyGreen1975]

I think it’s between us and Duke. Pope should be able to get it done!

Do you think that talent will never happen again? lol My point being the best of the best is definitely worth that money. Such as Flagg

 

[NerlensCat]

I was going to mention Peterson but couldn’t remember his name , lol .

🤣. I thought I was the only one struggling to remember people’s names. Peterson looks special. He should have a good year. However, Ament led his team in a W over Peterson’s team. Ament looked like that guy where the light switch got turned on. He was using drive and dish, threes, defense, rebounding and 3 pt shooting. It was a very well rounded game. I think he is going to rival Peterson and Boozer at the collegiate level. The key is that he needs to play mostly SF.

Whatever you think.

It's not what I think that matters. It's what the evidence suggests. You hype up Louisville and Duke constantly.

 

[Bluesnky]

One thing I’m confident of is Pope isn’t running around recklessly throwing money at players just to try to win a bidding war. I’m sure he wants Ament, but he’s ultimately going to make efficient use of his NIL budget.

Not for CBB I don't. It is going to ruin the CBB game . Going to cause a lot of division on teams and in the locker rooms. Just a matter of time. JMO

 

[yabbadabbadoo]

Mods, are you going to let these condescending little Duke fans troll our message board?

It's clear what this clown is trying to do.

Hit the road, Dukie. Go watch some game film of Zion and RJ losing in the Elite Eight or Williams missing free throws in K's farewell game against UNC.

I went to the Duke board about 10 years ago and got banned immediately. They some fragile little pricks.

 

[BlueSince92]

Is it just me or does this kid have a fairly respectable Screech thing going on?

 

[Rockfly78]

No kid is worth a million dollars to play CBB !

Why not?

 

[true blue1]

Here’s hoping, Coach Pope and the staff land this kid and Seal the deal!

 

[cal=8]

Yeah that's the other thing.. how does the rest of the team feel that an unproven freshman is making 5 million, and they.. guys who might have actually won something in college.. are making 20% of that.

Idk, it's just starting to be too risky. A ton of money, for an unproven freshman, undersized in college, who just wants to go to the NBA, and if things don't work for him, he can transfer at will. That is taking on a ton of risk, risk that wouldn't really be as bad for a junior transfer.

Yep, look no further than Boogie Fland for Arkansas. Arkansas has played much better without him. Cal recruited over Wagner who already had a surrounding cast in Theiro and Big Z. That didn't work out so well.

If he goes to UofL these have to be big heads in the stands during our game.

It’s weird because Fland was their best player but the pieces didn’t fit. I think it’s because Cal like usual didn’t use his strengths and put his draft stock ahead of what makes them win.

 

[jeffky]

Matt jones stated yesterday he felt really good about Kentucky and nate ament, until Arkansas appeared on his list . He stated that Kentucky overwhelmingly had more nil money than all the other schools except for Arkansas and the chicken man . "FOR WHAT ITS WORTH"

It isn’t so much Fland as it is locking in for the Kentucky game. Their defense since that game compared to before has been night and day. They got down in a stance and defended in a way Cal hasn’t been able to get his teams to defend in many many years and they've kept it up.

If we have more money then duke why do they get everyone

Honestly I don’t mind the sound of that at all. That would spell fewer big spenders in the transfer portal.
