Spanish sg

I didn’t make it up I thought i read it somewhere but probably wrong. I mean id like for us to get some good foreign players each year so pope can build that good line of players to Kentucky from different countries. It seems like most of the top teams have at least one. We have one already, there is plenty of foreign kids who shoot the rock.

The two we've been linked to are Mario Saint Supery and Ivan Kharchenkov...Supery shoots 27% from 3...and Kharchenkov 18%...I don't think they're even an option unless we strike out on some guys that will enter the portal in the next week and a half.

Yikes.
 
Maybe I want the money to stay for American players.

Maybe I don’t like the idea of guys who’ve been playing pro ball since they were 15,16 just showing up on campus for a one year paycheck.

This is not what NIL was supposed to be.
I hope you do not follow collegiate soccer or tennis … very heavy foreign participation. It is what it is. You need the best players, from wherever, to win at the highest levels now …

Again, did not look at the link, just reading the google info. Do not care to go to link. Uwe Blab was the other player UK tried to get that same time (red haired guy to Indiana). I might have been mistaken on Schrempf but I do remember twin German guys about that same time coming to USA to play ball. Just cannot recall the name and mixed it up with Deltef.
What about Gunther Bhenke (sp)?

hell i'll take a 30% 3pt shooter from an 18 year old whos playing against grown dudes. Supery would be interesting if theres no better options but we probably need more of a knock down shooter.

Joe Hall said Gunther came to his house. Gunther went on the back porch crying about his girl in Germany. Joe’s wife tried to tell him he will have plenty of girlfriends here. Love won out and he went back home. I think he would have had A LOTof girls here!!

None of this shid is what NIL is supposed to be.
NIL originally meant show up, play well, get rewarded by using your name, your image, and your likeness.
Not a bag 💰.
 
I believe you’re thinking of Gunther Behnke. A big German who actually committed to UK and enrolled … which got a ton of publicity at the time …before promptly changing his mind and returning to Germany.

I don’t believe UK ever recruited Blab or Schrempf.
Ewe Blab (IU) had a brother Olaf.
