Well Broome came from Morehead and we were looking at him or Williams from Murray, but Tsheibwe announced his return so it didn’t get very far.

Ament? I doubt he is over 200. If he is planning to play PF, he needs to be around 220 to be able to hold his position on D and rebounding. He can play SF at his current weight because of his length.
how you like that NATE AMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agree on the SF. On his weight, I was going off of a few podcasts I heard about him. Late bloomer evidently.
If he’s really interested in UK and paid attention to the game I’d have to think we greatly improved our spot with him. If this game didn’t influence him we don’t need him. Only time will tell.
He’s a daisy if he does! 😂
He's now seen us beat the Vols twice.... and in an electric atmosphere.
Got to think he's considering UK hard at this point?

Anyone know if he was at the game tonight? Pope mentioned in his presser that he had a recruit last night. It would be hard for the kid not to like what he has seen from UK but we know money will be a factor.
He reportedly arrived earlier this afternoon.
Don't know how this kid can watch this team and not want to play for Pope...

Glad he got to experience how great it is to play in Rupp. 20,000 + UK fans doesn’t get any better!
Google his name and look at all the posts on X from people tonight.
EASY
EASY!! I'LL GIVE YOU 4 MILLION REASONS WHY BECAUSE THATS WHAT DUKE, TENN. AND LOUISVILLE ARE MORE LIKLEY THROWING AT HIM
If UK wants him they can afford him.
The question is do they want him? 4 million is a lot for one guy.
To answer your question from the thread you started in December asking if the Honeymoon was over: NO
Ok, that's fair. Let me rephrase it...
From a player/coach standpoint, and a scheme/philosophy standpoint, it's hard to imagine why this kid would NOT want to play for Pope.
The problem here, no matter how good he is, you really can't justify giving him 4 or 5 mil. For a guy like Cooper Flagg or John Wall or a Kevin Durant, sure. But 4 mil for a one year rental mesns you're almost for sure not getting back that ROI. And there's only so much money to go around.
Ill trust the staff on this one.

I can buy the kid going to the highest bidder. Makes sense. But where are people getting these dollar amounts from and why are they so different?
Do we actually believe this kid is asking for 4 mill though? I don’t believe that at all. I think it’s more like 2 mill(which is still a lot)
It’s really frustrating when every recruiting thread turns into a money thread when not one person knows the actual money that we or any other team are actually offering or have in the reservoir.
We very likely don’t have less money than UNC or UL to offer. The players are still going to the same schools and coaches as they’ve ever gone.

I've heard that it's 3 to 5 mil. And you're right, who knows if that's true. But word is that AJ Dybantsa got 8.5 million to go to BYU. So other top10 recruits I'm sure are aware of roughly what the market is, and are starting there.
The most I could stomach for a top10 freshman is 3 mil, and even that I dont like. Top portal players, up to 2 mil? In that range I guess. Top50 freshman, 1 mil. Everything after that is in the 6 figures. If you're not fogured to be a 6th man or better, your NIL probably shouldn't hit 1mil.. but that might very well put us behind other schools so who knows.
Just don’t believe that at all. 2-2.5 maybe.
Honestly 2 million is the most I would want to spend on a top player, but I also understand you gotta pay money now to get good players.
1) these “demands” are insanely exaggerated
2) why the hell does any fan care how much they pay a player? It’s not my money, give whoever $10 million for all I give a crap

I don’t think anyone is getting that much unless your almost a top 5 lottery pick. Agents float ridiculous numbers trying to drive the price up.
Well he got to watch UK beat Tenn. twice. Has to be impressed.
