Does anyone have insight on how Kentucky is going to have this much to spend on both hoops and football? They are lining up to be the biggest spender in the country.

Is there a good reason why not? I have no insider information to work off. Bielema was college roommates with the guy that just got fired at Kentucky. He knows the issues there and being at a lower tier SEC job. Lunney was on staff at UTSA with Stein. He knows his flaws. Is Kentucky that far...

Go get nawrot from hersey.

Not until the money is the same as Ohio state, Oregon, notre dame, Michigan, USC, Indiana, Miami, Penn state, Alabama, Auburn, LSU. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

If I was advising a top HS recruit… Would tell them to go to a program that’s 20-30 in the overall picture (Iowa, ILL, Wash, Vandy, Utah, Houston, GA Tech) where you can play right away, can pay you 250-400 per year right away, and then after year 2 you can hit the portal and get the big payday...

Very curious to see how much 10 personnel gets ran on offense in 2026. They will have several receivers with proven college experience and a couple of young guys that they like. With how much 11 and 12 everyone is running in college now, going back to 10 and a true 4 or even 5 wide look would...

Doesn’t look like he’s going to be an Illini.

So $25M is the number for 2026? Better than I would have guessed.

Follows well after my post also. Good to see!

You are correct on the class years, my mistake. I'm not optimistic and don't see it as a good sign that the visit dates aren't set yet, doesn't pass the smell test to me. Lopati seems to be doing a lot of flirting as well. He could very easily shut everything down and tell those other schools...

I’m worried they have gotten left behind in the last few months all of a sudden in $$$.

Has anyone heard a total roster spend number for 2026? Not just a message board rumor but a number from someone in the know. Bret openly said they were at 15m for 2025. Nakos put out an article last week saying several programs are now at $40M. I’m worried Illini aren’t close to that. Don’t...
