Estimated $ spent on transfers for 25-26 season

I seriously doubt this is even close. No way it’s just for transfers. No BYU? Louisville? Made up numbers for clicks.
Not having U of L on that list is a dead giveaway that this is inaccurate. No way they got those three portal pickups without spending big money.
Could be wrong but byu has 1 transfer and Lil bro has 3.
If remotely accurate, it flies in the face of the belief Cal left because we wouldn't cough up the NIL dollars.
Pretty sure the boosters grew to hate Cal and NIL was dead. Didn’t the La Familia fund have like 50 bucks in it?
If coach continues producing he will have all that he needs I truly believe that. Cal just wore people out failing over and over so a lot of it dried up. Any school that keeps underperforming and has issues with their coach will result in the same thing. Hubert is the one that comes to mind, he doesn’t have very long to them back on track imo
Just a guess by the guy going off what each transfer is thought to be worth..
I believe Cal's roster building approach caught up to him with Boosters at UK as well. Casual fans got caught up in, and got a lot of their excitement from, recruiting the highest ranked high school kids. Having the notoriety of the #1 (or whatever it was that year) recruiting class coming in. But I think some of the Boosters consider themselves hard-core college basketball fans, and not just casual fans. They wanted to make long March runs (which they could travel to watch and enjoy) and be in contention for championships. When it became clear that Calipari wouldn’t change his roster building approach away from relying so heavily on freshmen, I think it turned some (a lot?) off.
Sounds like his methodology can be summed up as “l’m just guessing…”
But, hey, it got people to look at his tweet and post it on message boards. So mission accomplished!
He might be pulling those numbers out of his ***, but that dude is a basketball math/analytics savant so I feel like he might be fairly accurate.
But we were told we can’t compete. That other schools are “light years” ahead of us.
I think donors froze him out because he was being a Douche to everyone and didn’t do the things he needed to win.
This ^ . Cal burned practically every bridge he had.
Have to do it. Doesn't mean I like it, but we have to be in the top10 for NIL as best we can.
They are spending the Mormon Church money and dUKe the dark moneySo even if this is close what are teams spending on unproven Freshman??? BYU, DOOK
Not to defend Cal but his biggest burned bridge was the Crafts for not allowing Oscar to get used by Kelly for her campaign. I can see Cal's point for not allowing it.
Yeah , I remember hearing “whispers” about that but never new how true it was . He also burned some bridges when he knelt for the national anthem. If I had my say , I want our basketball players and our basketball coach to stay out of political situations.
$20 of it was in the form of a Clark's Pump-N-Shop gift card though.
Exactly. Its a dumb attempt to conjure shock out via extrapolation of his own projections.
Its dumb because there are plenty provable examples truly worthy of shock. No need to just make it up.
