Crazy! UK would get 5 of the top 10 recruits.

No, I think he's talking about the two top-50 guards that might ask out of their NLIs.:I think he’s talking about bigs. The LSU center has visited here and should be cheap
Fears?

The last sentence on this post. What a clear example of where college sports are at. It's literally a free agency with a salary cap. 10 years ago, heck 5 years ago.....would never have believed that this is where the NCAA would end up.I think he’s talking about bigs. The LSU center has visited here and should be cheap

Wasn't it like $200k that secured Anthony Davis' commitment to Kentucky? An insultingly low amount of money.I mean it still kinda worked like this … People just didn’t talk about it …
You guys saw what happened with Brian Bowen and others … That was happening with dang near every top 100 kid … It just didn’t leak out …

Sorry, just saw I repeated what you wrote.Fears?
Totally. He's almost a throwback behind the times figure trying to fill up classes with 5 star freshmen now.I guess you stick with what has worked with you in the past but I’m surprised Cal is still trying to win with a crew of 19yo McDAAs. I think we’ve seen the one n done era is closed and has probably been closed for a long time. Absent a transcendent talent like Zion or AD, the teams that are winning now tend to be old. Cal’s teams might win a “most years played in the NBA” contest but I don’t think that’s what’s consistently winning in CBB these days

Legal markets are a lot more lucrative than black markets. Secrecy is expensive.
NIL is also re-allocating money upward in age from HS recruits to proven contributors who now have exit options they didn't used to.
There's an old book, "Play Their Hearts Out," that discusses the problems with AAU (and it's over 12 years old, so I'm certain it's gotten much worse). The book covers a coach and his start athlete over the course of a few years. It was a very sad case study. Kids are treated like pieces of meat by adults hoping to strike it rich.AD got more than $200k “allegedly” … I know nothing of that to be true …
Also have to realize … These kids get paid to play for certain AAU programs and certain prep HS programs …
It’s been going on for a LONG time …
Crazy to think they would fire him. It is UK thoughCal’s seat is very warm … It’d take a little heat off … Until they under achieve …
That has been a fairly loveless, transactional relationship for awhile.Crazy to think they would fire him. It is UK though
From some of my friends here in Paducah , the word on the street is Cal's seat is more than warm ......it's like this season better be a lengthy run in the dance ....S 16 at least and maybe E 8 or else................................UK fans are so crazy and full of themselves.............Crazy to think they would fire him. It is UK though
So is all the drama from his initial recruitment in the past? Sounded kinda like bridges were burnt when it all went downThat’s one I’ve heard …
Keep an eye out because it’s interesting in a general recruiting sense (like the kid dropping Duke for UK) or keep an eye out because it could impact Illini?I’d keep an eye out for two other top 50 kids to potentially ask out of NLIs … Both guards …
