Nate Ament will visit Arkansas

[CatPatrick13]

Where does Ament fit at Arkansas? Someone has to move on. Knox? Billy Richmond?

Really doesn't matter to me at all. I think the only freshman we should take are kids from Ky or an Anthony Davis caliber freshman. We'd be much better off taking mature and proven players. That's how you build a Championship level team in modern times.

I would encourage my kid to take all his visits even if he knew where he wanted to go. Why not let him enjoy the process. Getting upset over a visit is crazy. He will either be at UK or he won’t. I personally think the for that type of money being thrown around UK would be better off in the portal.

I’d just start recruiting a portal player at this point. I get wanting the most money but this dude wants nothing but the money, how you gonna make a final list this late and then go on another visit. Cal is desperate so they will overpay again.

Tyson will promise free chicken for life. 🙄

I heard UK offered around $3 million.

If that's true, let Arkansas have him. I think anything higher than $1.5 million for this kid is too much.

For $3 million, we can add 6 or 7 Lamont Butler-level players.

I already think 3 million is a little high. If someone offers more so be it. We could easily get 2 elite portal guys for that,

I know that prices continue to rise and Dybantsa deal will make the top 5 guys wants much more. Cooper Flagg reportedly got just over 2 million this year. If Ament gets more than him it’s a joke.

The dude is not worth 1/4th of what he’s asking for! This current or the next recruiting cycle will be the last time these freshmen will get away with asking for the current amounts they are hoping to get!

That’s why there’s a mad dash to cash before the cat is out of the bag on these prospects!

There is plenty of data about top 10 rated guys and five star over the years. The key is paying the SGA’s of the world a lot less than the Kevin Knox’s. Weeding out the not ready upper end talent and finding diamonds in the rough.

It’s going to get interesting.

I bet Knox tries to go pro. He always seemed like he was dead set on one year. He’s got way more time this year and if he can get a round 2 grade he’s gone.

No doubt. Calipari will make sure.
I think Duke wins tho. They will be close 2nd and Cal has a terrible record of misusing the SF position.

Walmart/Tyson money is deepest pockets in SEC, so who knows what Ament's motivation will be in selecting where he spends next year.

kentucky will be his 4th choice

This kids all about the NIL! Hope he goes to Arkansas. Let’s get a proven player from the portal!

getting ready to see if he’s stupid or not
