Nate Ament will visit Arkansas

[true blue1]

I would love to land Ament.

Cal never has produced a solid sf to nba

In his system, sf's role is lim

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,

From what I have read we are the only one to have offered 3million+. If that is the case and, money is the reason for signing, Ament should be ours. I do not know if the figure is accurate and being totally honest, I am not sure how I feel about it. Ament is obviously a talent but there are going to be many talented players in the portal.

I see a big opportunity here. Raise it to $4M for the kid. Arkansas will be so desperate to beat our offer they may offer $5M. Then drop out and send Calipari laugh emojis lol

That's a business man right there!! Good post.

The schools should "hold the power". The players are students enrolled at that school. The primary purpose of that school is EDUCATION. At least it has been. If it is no longer going to be that way then the sports teams should be a separate institution run by the school where the players are not students, don't got to classes and are simply paid employees of the school.

Paying teenagers millions of dollars t0 play ball is absolutely insane.

Yes. This system is broken.

I think we’re in agreement on it, but on the flip side Ohio State spent a boatload of NIL and walked away with a football title. I think those donors will very much run it back.

It’s not a sustainable model, but I think we got a few more years of it before any type of real change. We had an extreme shift from schools holding the power to players holding the power. Neither is good long term.

I agree Ohio st unloaded boat load of money.
But you have to spend it wisely. And putting all that money on Ament is a high risk play.

I don't know where he stands but when asked about Kentucky, he said he liked Pope and the offense and that it was tempting. I wonder if he has already made up his mind and is going somewhere else or is just talking off the cuff? guess we will soon find out.

I wish this kid would just go away

Me me me me me me me me me

What kind of teammate do you think he’d be???

This was said about Wilson too. What is with all the consternation directed at a high school senior wanting to use all their visits and make the most NIL possible?

It’s not their fault these recruiting junkies put out article after article saying essentially nothing.

Lol, he isn't coming here. His comment almost sounds like something he heard from someone else.

It's so curious how you guys talk yourselves into things you know aren't going to happen. It's sort of like lying to yourself.

Hope this is not true. No way he is worth that
How would uk justify giving him that much and Johnson 1/3 that much

My constipation (haha) is that it’s utterly ridiculous that you’d give him that kind of money when tougher more proven players exist for much much less $$$$. I hate what college basketball has become but I think portal players are the key to building a competitive team now. Good 3-4 star players that have much promise and are likely to be here 2+ years are a route to take I think. There are diamonds in the rough out there. Go find them!!!!
