We’re going to be very active … Let’s just say some donors that had some reservations are starting to see the full picture …
Many saw what Kentucky was spending for this year and what a handful of others and said okay … We need to give more if we want to compete at a higher level …
Now they ain’t forking over huge coin for mid major players but if Brad and O can get a Boogie or Claude and it comes down to money within a certain range … I’ve heard there will be support … Beyond the resources already at our staffs disposal … Similar to the Will Riley situation last year …
Top 10 NIL …
IF we were able to land Boogie and/or Claude, I’ve got to imagine we see some defections from our current roster. Would you agree?
Was thinking about this but would be surprised if this would affect anyone besides Hummer, Davis, and the freshmen. I doubt the staff would be doing this if it would affect relationship between Petro and/or his agent.

Hmmm due to NBA draft considerations I would imagine right?
I feel like some of this negative energy is like when people are in an auction draft for fantasy sports. Some people blow their entire budget quickly and then the people with money at the end, end up raking in really good players and doing better in the long run.
Including Stoj or Stoj + 2?

My nightmare scenario is a replay of the Ty situation with Fland/Claude/Baltic Brad Smith eating into the role Boswell thought he was going to have when he announced his return.
As far as nightmares go, it wouldn’t be a disaster, but I haven’t adapted to the new reality of not being able to get attached to players beyond basketball season.
Think about it......What would that prove?I just had a thought, if one of the Ivisic twins get into foul trouble in the first half, can we have them switch jerseys at halftime?
Now if they could change jerseys with Ben...now you're talking.
Bozwell is starting. He is better than every guy we have picked up or wanted for the combo guard spot. If we got Peja jr., plus one of Claude/Flande, Boz is still starting. All it means is Petro becomes the 6th man. Also, I fully expect Big Z to be the 4 over Mirkovic until proven otherwise. Play your best 5. If Brad pulls this off it will be pretty impressive.

Can't even see him from where we are.
Someone seeking draft info, perhaps?
Didn't we do a bit of a last-minute recruitment of BF last year before he ultimately decided on ARK?
Could be wrong but I thought he gave IL a glance at before he decided on ARK.
Think Ty is gonna play a ton of 4. Think most valuable in the 6th man utility role but wouldn't be shocked either if he's starting at the 4 at least initially
