Darbyshire to the portal

[JPFisher]

You really pulled from the annals of internet video memery.

He has until Midnight tomorrow to find a team unless he's graduated.

No, the closing just means you cannot enter the portal. You will see guys getting signed still in a month or more.

Think I read earlier his parents are quite generous w/r/t our NIL pool. I suspect if him leaving would hurt us in that way, then he wouldn’t be leaving…..

His dad was a Cal guy. Ran the camps and also helped with NIL. I have a feeling he has zero role with Pope and that’s why Grant is leaving.

The 15 is a roster limit. It can be scholarship or walk-on, but the max is 15 and it has nothing to do with conference profit sharing. UK can have 12 players or they can have 15 players with walk-ons included in that.

And he’s not going to play anywhere. I might have been better than him my senior year and I didn’t even play.

This is the concept I’m referencing.

If you’re opting into revenue sharing and are going to use all 15 allowed spots for scholarship players/attempting to build for future years with developmental pieces then the traditional walk-on role will vanish and there isn’t room. If you’re only going to use 11 scholarships and forgo competitive depth then you have space..

Pope clearly prefers to play 10

Woof. Why on earth did he wait so late?

Yep…in your previous post I responded to, I read your post as saying that walk-ons were no longer allowed. As you said, they are. I think Pope has a scholarship roster of 12 or 13 guys a year and can still have walk-ons if he wants to.

Okay, we need a trivia question.

Is this the lowest points per game in high school of any UK player ever?

He’s got to be. In his profile on ukathletics, it talks about him scoring 14 points one game in HS. It doesn’t give any stats.

And now he just sits at home with @ss up his @ss!!

Hopefully we don't schedule Colgate again. I called them earier and go put on hold...

 

[ArtLaibsGhost_rivals]

He was the lead charge - taker/free throw shooter retriever on the scout team. Word is he felt disrespected that Pope was recruiting over him and decided to cut bait. I don’t blame him.

Pray tell what in your opinion "should" be the expectations of a walk on at Kentucky!

AAASSS. AAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSS!

 

[know1]

Making room for more players. I like it!

The one with Tartar control, it made me feel like a piece of ****!!

 

[Panthur]

So our first walk-off then.

 

[Dr. H Lecter]

Do we know if that weird little walk-on from Duke has put his name in the Portal or declared?

 

[bigblueinsanity_rivals250340]

This. The walk-on era is dead with the new 5 scholarship or you do t get conference profit sharing rule. . If they aren’t a scholarship player than it’s either…go find a school that will give you a scholarship or be a regular student. He likely wants to transfer and play somewhere is final season.

Yep. Walk ons really got screwed. I really don't understand that decision at all.

 

[9timeChampion]

You can sign with a team anytime you just have till tonight to enter by the way. For whoever said he has until tonight. That’s wrong.

 

[kyblue'92]

Arkansas?

Or a mid-major where he can get playing time?

I think he will go to Arkansas. His Father was a big part of running the La Familia fund project with Cal. https://www.si.com/college/kentucky...ky-working-new-nil-project-the-lafamilia-club

Its smart for the walk ons to hit the portal just in case whatever the judge decides. I mean what if it turns out having walk ons is a detriment to UK so we cant have them on the team , well F*** the portal is closed so they are screwed. But if the decision is something that doesnt hinder UK for them being on the team they can return. Just best to enter the names into the portal just in case
