Zags reporting Ledlum just entered the portal AGAIN. This is getting silly.
OT: Ledlum back in portal (leaving TN)
- Thread starter Runnin'Ramel
- Start date
Ha…willing to walk on?? With NIL? Sheesh.
No no no, can't be. This only happens at Kentucky......
Prolly Arky 😂😂
Muss would have like his 5th platoon. My guess would be Michigan
Seems like it did. Kind of schadenfreude to see it happen to other teams.
this might make it a lock to be Indiana, St Johns or West Virginia
Both of them got enough damn players
JJJ returning changed up the dynamics of that team.
Maybe Ledlum was wanting to play the 3.
UT has nothing at the 4/5.

College athletics is becoming a complete clown show.
This NIL situation is killing the game in so many ways. I’m 63 and worked all my life. I’ve owned my own HVAC business for 35 years. I’m personally worth around 6 million and I’ve worked dog bone hard for everything I have. It REALLY bothers me that these kids are coming out of high schools having proven absolutely NOTHING yet and are being paid hundreds of thousands or even millions on nothing more than potential. These children will be riding Mersades, Porsche and Corvettes or even be chauffeured to classes and practice. Could you imagine if Skal would have been eligible for NIL money. What an injustice that would have been. Think of all the top talent that was a bust here at UK that would have been paid what the average person in society takes a life time to accumulate. In addition, the kids will never really understand what real success is after it has been handed to them without them earning a penny of it. Jamal Mashburn is the perfect example of how all this should work. He EARNED a scholarship at UK. Worked his ass off on the court proving himself and EARNED a place in the pro ranks. Then when he retired, he invested in several business that were all successful. If you look up the word Success in the dictionary you would find a picture of Mashburn next to the word. NIL is and injustice all the way around. In short, I find myself disliking today’s players as unentitled brats and find myself appreciating the older players that EARNED it. Most people like YOU have worked hard all your lives, and barely make ends meet. These teenagers are getting more than you will ever see doing absolutely NOTHING for it.
From Rivals College Basketball forum, a UT member stated he has been injured. Maybe in the pocket book lol
Piss of dude, this is capitalism. If you do t like it, move to Cuba. They need ACs down there too.
Capitalism is NOT giving massive amounts of money to teenager for having done NOTHING for it. it's more like Socialism. Cuba employees a dictatorship, I'm not sure they get AC.
How very short sighted you are.
maybe you should move to Cuba since you object to freedom of speech
It’s just the way we’ve gone as a culture. We’ve placed a large emphasis on entertainment, so celebrities and athletes get paid absurd amounts of money. College sports is just another big entertainment business, and everyone wants their piece. As long as people are willing to doll out the big bucks to unproven athletes, nothing will change. It is what is right now.
The NBA developmental league named MCBB is a joke. You have G League but players can make more money with NIL. NIL should be no more than a G League salary.
Capitalism is getting paid market Value. Deserve has nothing to do with it. It's nothing like socialism at all. Literally nothing at all.
Who said I object to freedom of speech? I'm not saying the dude should go to jail or do you not understand the 1st amendment?
No, denying market value to people who are worth it is short sighted. That is socialism.
UK material? Shaq said something years ago which at the time I totally agreed with and still do and that is the amount of money he was making and a teacher makes virtually nothing and that is absolutely wrong
Everyone watch out.. boomer millionaire coming through to tell everyone what’s wrong with the economy his generation created.
I think Capitalism is getting paid FAIR market value. These guys have NO real market value until they do what Mashburn did.
My generation isn't the one paying kids millions before they know how to run and inbounds play. My Generation made the path that MAshburn followed. Sorry if i worked hard and made a few bucks and think that's the way it should be done. The world we live in doesn't even remotely look like reason and sanity. NIL is part of that insanity.
63 here. Retired last year. Just making it, but happy. Too many years of hard working.
How so?
You have JJJ and Vescovi on the wings.
Ziegler coming off an ACL at the point.
Knecht, I'll have to wait and see.
They lost Phillips, Plavic and Oliver K, who plays the 4/5?
Who am I missing that's immediate impact?
Dude, that is literally the definition of socialism. A body of people determining what a job is worth not the market. And btw, your generation is paying them. How many young guys own collectives and NBA teams? Literally, everything you’ve said is demonstrably false. It’s clear you are a Bernie bro.
Yeah I don't really get all the UT hype. Yes, they got a few key guys back but also lost a few guys. Not sure there are enough new pieces to move the dial significantly from last year.
