Link?Still think he’s gone no matter what but that’s a significant amount for one deal.
The actual business owner offering him the deal was just on KSR. He didn't say Reed by name, but logic suggest that's about the only one it could be. He was on to talk about how hard it is to get deals to kids on the basketball team as evidence of poor management there of NIL deals. Compared to the deals he's done with the football team being quick and easy.Link?
Talked about on KSR and some other places last night. The guy called to talk about the Reeves situation which I posted about last night on here. Said they offered a certain player a $1 million NIL deal for next year.Link?
Yeah I am listening too. The Reeves situation was not false.Talked about on KSR and some other places last night. The guy called to talk about the Reeves situation which I posted about last night on here. Said they offered a certain player a $1 million NIL deal for next year.
Top 5-10 pick is anywhere from $4.5 million to $6.6 million. He's not making anywhere close to that in NIL, the questions is just if you can make the gap small enough where the money plus whatever value he gets in returning to UK as a Kentucky kid with UK basketball parents makes it worth it to him.That's still chump change compared to being a top 5-10 pick in the NBA.
He's gone.
I actually think Reed will come back. Not so much for the NIL money, but mostly because of how those last two games went. A typical player not from the state probably wouldn’t care to go out like that, but a Kentucky kid who loves this program, just might refuse to leave on that note.Still think he’s gone no matter what but that’s a significant amount for one deal.
I won’t take it all at face value, but there are enough tidbits coming out to show the behind scenes of bball is in disarray.The actual business owner offering him the deal was just on KSR.

Jaylen Brown's 2nd contract was worth $286M over 5 years.6th pick last year got around 15 mil guaranteed over two years before the team options years 3 & 4 kick in.
15 mil>1mil
It just seems like everything that could go wrong has gone wrong under Calipari and there’s no fixing these issues over night. Another reason it’s time to start overThe point being made was that the basketball NIL program is being poorly handled by some assistant coaches. What wasn't said is that, like everything else, the buck stops with Cal, which it does.
The 1 million isn't a donation though it's a true NIL deal were the owner will make money back on the autographs.if we can offer players 1 million nil deals from whoever, surely we can pay the buyout for Cal over 6 years. The question will be can we find a Cal replacement.
If keeping Cal keeps Reed here... meh , I love the team we had this year but Cal coaching them, he seems half the man he used to be, he is done, just the effort seems gone.
His teams have never been bad on defense till last 5 years, that's coaching effort.
Reed is going pro, or should, because his pro deal will be multi million and he will get endorsed on top of that.
It's for autographs. Seems likely the demand for Reed autographs amongst the fan base would be much much greater than the others you mentioned. The shop owner would be looking to make his money back or lose as little as possible so Reed makes the most sense.I'm not listening, and more than likely he is referring to Reed, but what did he say that makes the OP definitely think it's Reed instead of Dillingham, Wagner, or Edwards?
Fair enough. They would need only 10,000 people willing to give $100 for the autograph.It's for autographs.

If Cal returns, and if I was in Reeds shoes I would leave. Because it’s going to be way too toxic around here and the pressure will be even worse. Either way I think Reed is gone, you don’t pass up a top 10 pick in the NBA just because you love KentuckyIf I were in Reed’s shoes I would come back for another year. Not for NIL but for the love of Kentucky and life after the NBA in Kentucky. How he wants to be remembered will play a big role in his decision. Does he have heart and guts and go out like a champion, forever to be remembered as a legend?? Or does he take the money, tuck tail and run??? Only time will tell…
He’s not going to give Reed $1 million if he doesn’t come back lmao? What do you mean?The caller never said the NIL deal was contingent on the player(Reed) coming back next year.
He stated that the deal had been offered for some time now and no reply back.
That’s only one nil deal there’s much more on the table he will be back. And count on him sliding in draft projections. He could leave and easily fall to late first round.That's about 25% of whatever his first year NBA salary would be.
For Reed, it will simply come down to how important the legacy he wants to leave here is to him. Does he want to be another freshman who came in and impressed and moved on without much team success? Or does he want to leave something behind for the history books?
He constantly posts crap without any links or context as if he's scooping the world and wonders why so many question his threads.Link?
I'd like to have the kid's autograph on the same ball I've got pop'sFair enough. They would need only 10,000 people willing to give $100 for the autograph.
Autographs have never been my thing, but if they came with a 30 minute test drive of a Corvette C8 Z06, I may get a couple of them.
Yep. The 12th pick in last year's draft (which is about where's I'd expect him to go) make $4 million.That's about 25% of whatever his first year NBA salary would be.
Good post.Jaylen Brown's 2nd contract was worth $286M over 5 years.
286M > 50M
Why do I point that out? Because if Reed isn't physically ready, mentally ready, and emotionally ready to make a quick impact in the league, then he won't get close to a max-deal contract when the rookie contract expires.
So there may be a financial benefit to staying 1 more year.
There’s no link buddy, it was talked about on KSR. You want me to link a live phone call?He constantly posts crap without any links or context as if he's scooping the world and wonders why so many question his threads.
Did he say that?He’s not going to give Reed $1 million if he doesn’t come back lmao? What do you mean?
