I’ll wait for Joe Adams to make it official.
I thought they said he doesn’t have to make an announcement but must submit his paperwork.
Contact doesn’t equal a miss. Kentucky had to fill a whole roster, they had to cast a wide net, so they contacted a lot of people. Do we consider all of those misses. Davis & osobor wanted a lot of money, and Kentucky was never gonna get into that. Mahaney is maybe miss but they got brea who is similar if not better player.
We would pay way more than a two way deal so at least in this case it wouldn't just be the money.
Him just staying in the draft, if he stays In the draft there is nothing college coaches can do about that.
Davis
Osobor
Mahaney
Lanier
Robinson
I just don’t think we can look at it like that right now. Lanier was always going to Tennessee. Home state and they were tampering for over a year. Osobor got insane money from Washington , doesn’t mean anything. Davis was hoodwinked by Calipari to be the next lottery bench player, not suprised. Moheney isn’t even that great to be honest, and Robinson wants to go pro. Really nothing you can do there is he doesn’t return.
I’m far from an excuse maker and if Pope isn’t the guy we’ll find out soon enough, but he’s been on the job a few months and hasn’t had time to catch his wind this recruiting cycle. This season was always going to be tough and the roster came out pretty good all things considering. I wish we had landed a few more too but I think there’s context here that we have to recognize.
Robinson going pro is really stupid but all it was going to take was a team throwing him a guarantee not just of a pick, but FA too, and he looks like he doesn’t want to move again and just go on and take his chances. Nothing Pope can do about a situation like that.
Let pope get his feet on the ground before we begin to eat him.
Oh please it only seems that way because only Kentucky fans are this invested.
LOL,
Pilgrim and Smith have nothing to talk about right now because Robinson didn't announce anything, so now they're forced to talk about Kerr Kriisa.

He's the fifth highest paid coach. No excuses.
We whiffed on Liam McNeeley, too.
How is his salary a justification for players asking for ridiculous NIL prices?
Please explain.
I simply stated he doesn't have to announce anything, can return to school if the paperwork was submitted by the deadline; can't if it wasn't. Did I get anything wrong there?
No emotion involved from me. Facts only.
No they did not. He never even visited here, reaching out does not equate to a miss. If that’s the case the 60-70 guys they contacted In the portal are all misses then.
Well Mitch was bragging how much NIL poured in when he was hired. Was it all a lie?
That's hilarious! Smith and Pilgrim basically sounded just like that 10 minutes ago. All they needed was the beer can and the mustache.
They want money to carry over, or that’s what is being said. The reality is Kentucky is never getting into bidding wars, they just aren’t.
Everyone being negative right now are the normal RR trolls. Somehow our fanbase took the 6th man on BYU and are making him out as a make or break player and all of a sudden Pope hire is a mistake and we are going to the NIT. 😆
Osobor two day visit and is offered = not a miss.
Mahaney visits UK and is offered = not a miss.
I’m actually quite impressed with what Pope has done in a short amount of time. He had to play catch up starting from scratch. Even with the portal, that’s tough. He got guys who fit his system and didn’t overpay for guys (Osobor in particular). I like the squad as is. I think some of them are underrated.
Will we win a title next season? Highly unlikely. And landing all those guys you have listed wouldn’t change that. I think most of them were likely overhyped. Time will tell.
JLoad's spectrum-level alter-ego has spoken.
Yes there is. It’s 2024. College coaches present them with an NIL proposal and they choose to take the deal or roll the dice. If this kid stays in the draft he is choosing G league over UK. Period
The people that are trying to justify these misses by the kids asking for too much NIL money is crazy. Do the fans get their money back that they donated or something if they don't use it? Does it rollover to the following year? Please help me understand this logic! Can UK roll it all over to a ROTH IRA or something?
If he chooses to stay in the draft after these coaches present him deals what else are they suppose to do? Force him to come here.
Well, since it looks like the night is still young, I'm going to go fix me up a Salisbury steak hamburger.
An N/A for not applicable.
You can't "miss" on a player who remained in a professional draft because they essentially don't exist in this year's portal class.
Gotta be objective for a sec. This team is closer to the NIT than a tournament bid. I hate to see everyone setting themselves up for disappointment. My hope is that this squad will mirror South Carolina last year. Similar situation going in. Similar roster make up
You want to pay osobor 2 million dollars? Mahaney and brea are very similar players and Kentucky got one so it’s not a miss if they got somebody. The ones categorizing guys as misses aren’t thinking about the broader picture.
After that statement, you might want to follow a different sport. Basketball isn’t it for ya.
Yeah like we weren't doing that under the guy who just left. You as so obvious
3-4 different posters are definitely in a circle doing weird things….
Is
They’ll be silent or find some crap to complain about when somebody commits.
Pay Coleman Hawkins whatever's left in the NIL bank and let's ball.
Would be nice if for once we gave "insane money" to land a player of that caliber since, you know, that's what it takes now.
