I think the interest definitely would have gone up. But I'm assuming Cincinnati paid a pretty penny for him to come there. I don't think we were going to match it for a backup PG

The stuff about having to pay money back or the school that takes him having the pay it back:
It's a perfect idea on paper. Everyone should do it. As it stands, I don't *THINK* you can. My understanding is: You can't tie NIL to pay for play. To spell it out in writing would be begging for the NCAA to come at you.

Amazing how quick we all forgot about Wilkerson once some of these other guys jumped in the portal lol.
Seems like trying to enforce that would kill their recruiting . What kid would want to go there and be potentially sued.
I really do agree with all of that. Well see how it plays out. Again, there are others available that I'd take before him and I'll support the team either way. I'll support him...cautiously.
Wtf does it matter to you enough to address me like that for. Go do you and ease up on the keyboard. You don't have to comment on everything you read, in or out of context.
It’s enjoying season. It’s gratitude season. It’s returning to the days of glory season. We need to enjoy this because I can bet you plenty of you look back on 1990 and 1991 with fondness. The dam is about to break and it’ll be these “dog days” that’ll lead that way back.

Jamal Magloire comes to mind when I see Baker play. Nothing wrong with a little vinegar in your greens.
Why are they paying out Almost a Million dollars a season early? Make no sense to me.
Stop with this. Name me a time that Magloire, or any other UK player that played with an edge, was ejected from games for cheap shotting people in the back of the head? Or being thrown out of tourney game because of a cheap shot? I’ll hang up and listen…
Strictly a $$ play.
Would not surprise me to see him back at AU.
Kentucky and many others will stay away.
Complicated kid; complicated situation.

This is some sort of troll, right? There’s no way this is serious

Why? It was already reported last week by the other site that UK has interest in CBM. And I predicted it before the report. To me, it was obvious. Pope likes high energy guys.
To be clear,
I think he will go to Louisville though
Louisville seems to be loaded at his spot.
There’s high energy, and then there’s nut case
Take it up with Pope then.
This will become one of the all time most memorable threads if this happens.
And I think I’m now for it. He’s one helluva two-way player, would fit in nicely as our other starting wing …and he sure ain’t boring.
I don't think we get him but don't understand why some would be against it. This guy is very talented.
Please stop using facts to interrupt fans who do not want him here. it lessens their reasoning to bash him because they do not like him.
$2.2M Gamble Leaves Auburn Reeling as National Reporter Exposes Major Locker Room Crisis Suffered by Bruce Pearl
Chad Baker-Mazara's departure hit Bruce Pearl and the Auburn Tigers hard. Read to know why the wing left Auburn.
www.essentiallysports.com
Didn’t see this posted….this article touches on the buyout CBM is on the hook for if he leaves. Apparently it is about 60% of his $1.1 Million.
Also, it has been suggested, but this confirms that he entered the portal due to Auburn offering a recruit almost double what he was getting and it pissed him off. Jealousy has to be one of the biggest issues facing coaches and teams now. These kids better get used to it. There will always be people who have more, but I get it. He’s 25 and likely not a pro prospect, so this may be his last chance to make a big chunk of money playing.
It makes no sense why they would have paid him out 60% of next years salary this early to me.$2.2M Gamble Leaves Auburn Reeling as National Reporter Exposes Major Locker Room Crisis Suffered by Bruce Pearl

Could have been trying to get ahead of the potential July deadline where everything may have to go through a more bureaucratic process to determine fair market value on NIL agreements. Just a hunch, no direct knowledge.
Possibly, the article said he signed the deal to come back but he had to know someone like him would be valued more than that. He tried to renegotiate a deal I assume to the level that Hall made 2.2 million but they wouldn’t do it. Just shows that you better take care of your current stars the way you would who you are trying to get or else this happens. I think Pope was very smart in how he paid our guys with Oweh getting the largest chunk of money based on his previous years here.
Wish we would give him a big chunk of money and let’s roll. Would be a fan favorite before the season was over. We’ve had players sulk and literally quit the team. A player with a little fire in him won’t hurt us.$2.2M Gamble Leaves Auburn Reeling as National Reporter Exposes Major Locker Room Crisis Suffered by Bruce Pearl

Exactly. He clearly had taken a discount to stay there. It’s no surprise he felt betrayed by it IMO. Pearl gotta be more savvy going forward.
