Nashville is great spot. Is it a possible sign of strength. If pope thought he was a make or break player. The money would have been found in the Bluegrass.
It has always been about compensation. In this modern era where it's legal to pay for play, I don't believe Kentucky has enough billionaire supporters to consistently feed the insatiable appetite of 13 top free agents at the end of each season. With that said, Kentuckys resources would be better suited lobbying NCAA, or whoever is in charge of college basketball rules, to get a cap in place.
@Allneedahero is that why multiple staff members, head coaches, and the programs have been investigated, fired or fined or all the above all these years and uk basketball hasn't had such issues and if so can you provide factual evidence of it? Now, I'm not saying that under the table stuff hasn't happened before, but if so, then it was handled well enough that only the ones involved know. Also, nobody said the current ky basketball program wasn't offering players generous nil deals. They are saying the new coach and staff are going about recruiting with a different view and approach. This staff wants talent and experience combined with the mentality to be a team player dedicated to themselves, their team, the program, the jersey and their fans supporting them mentally and Financially! This staff wants these guys to earn everything. The past decade+, the kids wanted to play for the salesman and top recruiter for the NBA pipeline after 1 season, not uk or its fan's! Arkansas had probably the highest nil pkg to offer after cal was hired and they followed him and the $$ and look at em now, lol!
This day in time, I’d look to pull talent from the transfer portal rather than high schoolers. After going through the Cal years, I’d take experience over 5⭐️’s any day of the week. I’d go for the most talented, experienced players I could pull from the portal.
Too much drama associated with this kid! Ky is not a one man team. We will get great players who want to play here and learn from a really good coach !!!
This kid was a drama queen and thought Coach pope was going to bow down to him and kiss his rear end, Ummmm pope don’t play that game, guys it’s cool, 😎. We get Carolina in the schedule next year and well, we will make sure to prove a point 😏 LETS GO BIG BLUE NATION !!!!!
@apparker4610 What exactly is the current narrative in modern ncaa athletics and athletes regarding their interests, especially 5 stars coming outta high school?? Also, uk has owned unc for years now and that's no disrespect to the unc program or davis. Cal destroyed uks basketball program with kids like this always at the top of his list above anything else besides getting them into the draft after season 1 and pope has said several times, he doesn't care about that as much and prefers talent with experience with dudes ultimately wanting to represent the program and fans. If you've kept up with uk basketball this season, then you'd know without asking or critiquing why it shouldn't be the narrative mentioned above previously.
BBN, please don't let some greedy teenager ruin your day or week over this decision. You gotta remember he wanted to play 3rd fiddle to the boozer twins during peach jam because he isn't good enough to be the main attraction. He's not good enough to command the kind of money his family wanted. This entire little game they played had 0% to do with winning. He wants to play in the weak ACC so he can pump his stats up for the NBA.
His loss. Money 💰 he wants an not to Win we didn’t need him. I want someone wants to be here because they want To play for KENTUCKY an Proud to have KENTUCKY on his CHEST. We’ll be just fine LETS GOOOOO CATS 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
Good for him, lol! Im super glad as a uk fan, he chose unc over us. Dude silently committed to unc over a month ago and dragged this nonsense out until wee hrs last night, lol!..... Bbn and uk wants players who desire, dream and dedicate themselves to the team, program, development and our fans. We've witnessed the teeny bopper era under cal who only cares about the draft, $$, endorsements, spotlights, etc and so far, pope has us back to feeling like ky basketball used to! We don't want egotistical, obnoxious, gold diggers anymore. The world of modern ncaa sports are terrible because of these types of people, nil, etc! Go get some older, experienced dudes and bangers pope and we'll be far better off than unc! Go cats!!!
Looking at other successful teams I think we need a more beefy power forward. Caleb isn't strong enough to be what we need and didn't have the requisite desire to be here. Good luck Caleb.
JASPER isn't there to play for UK he came for 1.1 MILLION AND A CYBER TRUCK!! MORENO MIGHT BE THERE THE ONLY COMMIT THAT IS PLAYING FOR THE SCHOOL AND THAT'S WITH MOST TEAMS!!!
@MiguelHewett payed or paid? Also, could you possibly show us all legitimate evidence of the offer differences between Ohio state/unc/uk offered Wilson?
@MiguelHewett I'm sorry, are we on the same page here??..... I'm not sure how your recent comment has any relevance to what I had asked of you? I'll take a stab at it anyway, lol! I'm assuming the " so it does hurt " comment was regarding maybe assuming one is salty or disappointed that this recruit picked another program?? If so, personally, absolutely not! I've witnessed these types of players come and go during the cal era and it has got uk nowhere but lower and lower across the board as a whole. You think duke would be in the position they're in currently nationally without flagg? What happens to a team like that if the highlight reel gets injured remainder of season? Kids getting jealous because a team mate or 2 is getting larger nil deals.. Hopefully, I answered your question so would you mind vice versa?
@MiguelHewett lol, of course you mind!!!!! Very educated, respectful and mature response from an individual that is not an adult i hope, but if so.... no surprise there, lol! Kansucky??... I'm pretty sure they're doing substantially better than unc with probably the a top 2/3 resume currently nationally so I'm ok with that label even though it has no Merritt or legitimacy currently, lol!! Oh yeah, is it payed or paid??? You don't have to give an educated response to that either, I get it!
Wilson had to be the go to guy and he knew he wouldn’t be that at UK . Wilson played with the Bozzer twins and he couldn’t be the go to guy there either so he had to go where he could be ‘ plus all the money NC pays him . Good luck Calib on winning the ACC next season 😂 or does it matter to you??????
Meltdown 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Andrew love you but a Uk fan and a Buffalo fan? Lord this is coming from a Tar heel and a Miami Dolphin fan
GO FREAKING CATS!!!!
Good luck Caleb man I wanted u in that big blue but I understand it was the best 4 u. Let's move forward big blue I still got faith in u pope
Nashville is great spot. Is it a possible sign of strength. If pope thought he was a make or break player. The money would have been found in the Bluegrass.
Dont worry too much yall have Pope we have Hubert

Money talked☹️
If you don't think KY isn't buying players ...... gezzz KY has been buying players for the last 3 decades before it was legal. Cry
Which ksr media nerd told u this ?

He'll regret his decision before the end of next year we will be fine go cats

@@DeborahAnderson-d4v we’ll be ok without him ha ha
Ahhhhh. You think you are getting him and support him and call him great. You don't get him and call it drama. Gezzzz
😂😂😂😂 the big blue inbreds have no shame 😂😂😂😂
Thanks NIL. The game is ruined. When there's money involved there will be cheating
I think UK dodged this one. He scheduled like 6 times to come to Arkansas and never showed up just drama. Guess UK paid him the most
If Pope somehow got Ament he would play the 3 mostly imo. He's 6'9 but also really slim, kinda like Will Riley from Illinois.
Ament coming to Louisville
This kid was a drama queen and thought Coach pope was going to bow down to him and kiss his rear end, Ummmm pope don’t play that game, guys it’s cool, 😎. We get Carolina in the schedule next year and well, we will make sure to prove a point 😏

What if Hubert gets handed his walking papers ?
😂😂😂😂😂 keep praying maybe yall can speak it into existence
No I meant isn’t that rumored?
@@doughatton1577 which media nerd said this ?
I hope it’s false too
I like Davis
He wanted to be the MAN. He has to play as a team at UK. He said in an interview that if he went to UNC he could be the MAN. Good Riddance.
His loss. Money 💰 he wants an not to Win we didn’t need him. I want someone wants to be here because they want To play for KENTUCKY an Proud to have KENTUCKY on his CHEST. We’ll be just fine LETS GOOOOO CATS 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
BS. POPE and KY buying the whole team they have. Twist it how you want.
😂😂 the money narrative or the he's a "me guy " narrative
Excuse me, ruin my day as a big blue fan? Are you kidding me? Been BiG Blue since Dan Issel and Mike Pratt and UK will be just fine without him. LOL
Kentucky will be okay!!
We move along. You got my click and comment so bye.
THANKS!
Good for him, lol!
Im super glad as a uk fan, he chose unc over us.
Dude silently committed to unc over a month ago and dragged this nonsense out until wee hrs last night, lol!.....
