Plus the fact he might have family looking in.
If they're aware of the jokes then they are probably aware that the punchline is not Hutch; it's the posters who are anointing him a superstar before he's even played a game.

I’d kill to go back to sophomore year. If it helps my wish to come true, I’d be willing to keep the jokes going.I don't have thin skin at all. I just think these jokes have become stupid and I'm hoping he doesn't have thin skin. If you want to keep making them go ahead. I'm just telling you I think they are silly and sophomoric. Hopefully he's not insulted by them.

Personally I think these Hutch jokes have run their course. If I were him I'd be pi$$ed that my name has been turned into a punchline. Let's just wait and see how he pans
I am not anointing him a superstar but he does have the ability to be a solid player and a solid defender with his length. He would have been our best outside shooter last year and would have been more effective in spreading than floor unlike Williams who needs a calendar to time his release. Not slamming Monte but his shot speed is slow. Great defender but was a liability on offense.If they're aware of the jokes then they are probably aware that the punchline is not Hutch; it's the posters who are anointing him a superstar before he's even played a game.
I definitely wouldn’t call Williams a liability on offense. He only takes good shots. He doesn’t turn the balls over. His defense often creates offense.I am not anointing him a superstar but he does have the ability to be a solid player and a solid defender with his length.

I get that. But teams know they can slack off him and get back to guard him before he gets a shot off. Having a guy 6-7 with length who can shoot lights out would have been huge against team like Maryland and Loyola. Loyola KNEW we are were not a good 3pt shooting team. They defended accordingly. Took away Ayo and his dribble right, shut down the passing lanes and created havoc for our shooters.I definitely wouldn’t call Williams a liability on offense. He only takes good shots.

I don't think we're talking about the same person I don't remember ever reading a Larry Bird pun from himOD'ed on Larry Bird puns........in intensive care as we speak.........
Dr. Hutch is taking care of him......
Feel the same way.Personally I think these Hutch jokes have run their course. If I were him I'd be pi$$ed that my name has been turned into a punchline. Let's just wait and see how he pans out.
He's from the Dominican Republic and was being recruited by OA.
He had this to say about Illinois:
“I really like the program and what they are doing there. The assistant, coach (Orlando) Antigua, how he treats people, I like talking with him.”
Guess he's a Kentucky prospect now.
I think Damonte will be even better this year. If he hadn’t had the serious injury in his senior year of high school, we would be talking about a completely different player. We saw it a little last season. I think he’ll be more aggressive on offense. I just respect the heck out of guys like Damonte and Trent.I get that.

Plus can build up his popularity on the team. Its fun. There’s no bashing. I think he really is a great player who I believe will contribute from day 1. Im pulling for him...Hopefully something great can turn out of it.Hopefully Hutch has thicker skin than you. Anytime the media hypes up something that people have not seen yet, this is bound to happen. These jokes are harmless. I think he and his family will survive.
Sports are one of the few fields where you're basically taught to be a professional from an early age. There are far more cruel jokes than people teasing these absurd expectations the media has laid out (e.g. He is the best shooter!, the only person who could keep up with Ayo!,guaranteed starter, etc
Not to be doom and gloom, but there's a real possibility Hutch goes straight to the NBA and never suits up for the orange and blue.
Reminds me of Harper on RutgersMercy, this would be an incredible get.

Really? Curbello and Cockburn aren’t too shabbyDoubt it. OA better recruit better players to UK than he recruited to IL
That should means million$ for Hutch...does anyone have any doubt his college jersey sales will shatter all records?Not sure if this has already been posted: https://bleacherreport.com/articles...-push-ncaa-to-approve-nil-rules-before-july-1
Huge news for our recruiting.

Frankly, I think this could be the beginning of the end of the NCAA. They have not led on anything for many years, and have become an organization that reacts rather than getting out front. NIL is just one example. The fact that state legislatures are taking this up instead of the NCAA developing a solid policy to preserve its outdated idea of "amateurism" shows just how weak the organization has become. They're more concerned with mascots and imagery than they are about issues that really affect players and member institutions. They suffer unforced errors (women's BB tournament workout room) because they can't get out of their own way to even pretend like they care about anything other than the P5 conferences. Their recruiting rules are unevenly enforced, resulting in schools like Kansas being unafraid to show them an upraised middle finger when their men's BB program is accused of five level 1 violations, and extending Bill Self, going so far as to say that he will not be fired even if found guilty in the investigation. No one gives a s**t what the NCAA thinks anymore.Probably overdue and inevitable, and will work largely to the benefit of the top couple of dozen programs........BUT the handful of top programs with the wealthiest 'Boosters' will be able to game this system to funnel serious money to recruits and players. Any concept of a 'level playing field' in recruiting will cease to exist.
