Yes. There is and it's been stated here and elsewhere many times.
Regardless of how badly he wants to be here as a KY kid, he needs to leverage this as much as possible for NIL. He also needs to make sure it's the right fit for him. Doesn't matter if I or you or anyone else thinks it's a great fit. It's up to him to decide, and we don't even have a roster yet.
We've had a coach for a week. We already have 2 commitments in that time. 1 is from a kid that just met our coach in person for the first time this weekend. This isn't shopping for last minute Christmas presents without a list, like Cal used to do here. We need to adjust as fans, just like everyone should have realized last week.
Im confused, are we agreeing? If he's leveraging for NIL then he's not committed here. He's clearly shopping around, ot at the very best, trying to get more money. And he wouldn't be doing that if he didn't think he could get that money elsehwere.
My point on Perry is that he's not some lock to come here until he says so, and to pretend otherwise is wishful blue-tinted thinking. He would have said he'd be back.
Unless Pope really is not sure he wants him? But I just don't see that lol. He's a KY guy and a top50ish recruit, and exactly what Pope wants. Oh, and if it comes out that Pope threw aside a KY kid, when he has 2 guys kn the roster.. that would be a pretty bad look.
