I mean ill take some Kentucky gear if he isnt trying to make a killing.

It being worn by Collin Chandler certainly doesnt raise its value. If anything it has the pickle effect

Well, of course that’s what he’s trying to do, why else would he post it? Do you think he’s handing out UK gear for free out of the kindness of his heart?
Not making a killing doesnt equal handing it out for free. I would pay probably even over a reasonable price for some hard to get UK gear but not paying an upcharge just because a Kentucky player wore it especially Collin Chandler.

My guess? They expected an easy win and scheduled the post for after the game for maximum exposure. It backfired and the post was deleted and will be posted again at a later date.
Glad somebody is applying logic. We as fans cannot complain about not getting players due to NIL and then complain when players perform their NIL deals. I highly doubt Chandler had this setup in the locker room but more likely had this scheduled to go.

Chandler has his issues no doubt but he was at least trying to coach Moreno last night regarding his rebounding. He cares.

I understand (and agree with) the storming with pitchfork mentality but to me it needs to be directed at Barnhart and Pope.

I read that perhaps when someone tags him on there it brings that up? IDK anything about those things. But if live posting after a horrid beat, that would be a bad look.
Nope. He got tagged. But you can choose to share it on your story.

BREAKING NEWS FROM WLEX 18: Recently disgraced Kentucky basketball coach Mark Pope has been seen heading west down New Circle Road on a Harley Davidson motorcycle wearing a bandana. Suspect has a Louisville Slugger baseball bat strapped around the back of a black leather jacket. Authorities familiar with the situation say he is armed and dangerous, drunken and belligerently muttering the name of an internet message board poster, known only to LEX 18, as “jedwar.” It is believed the failed tactician is “hunting down opps” and will not stop until the moderators have removed every negative post about Pope, Chandler, Garrison or any of the other favorites. LEX 18 will be standing by for more information. If you have any knowledge regarding the whereabouts of any other gang members employed by this man, please call 1-800-FIRE-POPE or contact local authorities.”

All (most) of these guys care about, truly care about, is making money. Whether the post was a coincidence or not. Chandler hustles at least- but I didn’t like seeing him go after Moreno.
Somehow I missed that. Any video of him doing that?

Calipari was teaching and controlling players social media interactions as well as pre/ post game interviews . That was a good practice . Pope is still learning and this another aspect that he doesn’t have under his control or in order.

Pope is in his 50s and has been a head coach for over a decade at this point. He’s not some wide-eyed 30-something assistant coach just turned head coach.

People are amazing. It has been non-stop complaining that JMI has screwed UK because of NIL.

Chandler gets an NIL deal and people are pissed at his timing.

True but he was not at a program that had the media or fan base attention like Kentucky, Calipari personality , as a marketing guy, he loved and seeked media attention.
Pope is very green even in his 50s.

I am sure there is. It was (obviously) the end of the game. I thought it was out of character for Collin’s (more like something Garrison would do) and just slightly too “hostile”. Moreno is learning and he had to be so embarrassed. And he should have - just on the bench as opposed to the court. Also, nobody jumps on other people’s *** that deserve it far more often. Just my two cents.

This can‘t be real. If it is, I would take those hats, and jam it down their throats.
