that is what it says on the catspause transfer portal page....I would be surprised he would follow a coach that won't play him https://247sports.com/college/kentucky/season/2024-basketball/transferportal/?institutionkey=24101
Jordan Burks to Arkansas?

Follow the money. Cal would pay him and still not play him.
Cal didn't play him here. Why would he follow him?
Just hard to believe that these guys would volunteer for another year of lies and misuse.
Cal even spoke glowingly of him early in the year about how good he was and would surprise some people. Then after Bradshaw returned promptly played an average of 2 minutes per game.
I don’t get it. Maybe Stockholm Syndrome?
That's sort of what I was thinking. He didn't play him here, why would he expect to get played there? Stockholm syndrome, apparently.
I hadn't yet seen your response when I replied. GMTA, right? LOL
Spot minutes behind Karter Knox will be easier to stomach when you're counting that Jerry Jones and Tyson Chicken guy money.
I hope Jerry Jones had to spend considerable money on him.
the surprising news is the Cal players that don't go to Arkansas
So far that is all but 2. Interesting none of Cals recruits have yet to commit there although I feel most will end up doing so.
Sounds like Cal wants entire UK team and recruits. He is out to show us what could have happened at UK. He can have them, we know what they produce in crunch time.
He is following him because of his ability so quickly develop players and get them to get them to the league. I mean look and DJ and Bradshaw from last year. He made them stars and NBA locks.
It amazes me how so few understand this. Like seriously, who else is going to pay Burks. Pope may or may not have wanted him. It’s not like he’s a great fit for Popes offensive philosophies. But even if he were, he’s still going to follow the $$$.
Get rid of every last one them. Just shows how deeply rooted the Calipari disease was at UK. I do not care about any of them, not one of them was playing for the name on the front of the jersey. That's what I admire about Hurley at UCONN. He refuses to sign anyone that has priorities elsewhere.
Pretty interesting to watch cal pursue these guys returns way harder than he ever would at UK. At UK he would absolutely push dj and z to the league and Burks would've been pushed out to make room for incoming frosh.
One can convincingly argue he's doing z a disservice by having him come back since he's already 20.
Whatever he does, he still has to coach them. This time without Welch or any strategist.

He's also out to prove that his priorities did not lie with championships, that he KNOWINGLY wasn't doing his job.
And has stated this publicly. He wants Team guys and players that play for the name of the school.
More like $$ for Burks seriously.
Nobody is going to drive the price up for Burks.
Cal took him late last year just to fill out a roster.
He's doing the same this year.
If Cal can't recruit over Burks, Hog fans are going to be mighty disappointed.

Cal got him paid and his value is not too much anywhere else.
It’s the guys like this that give credence to the Jerry Jones rumors. Absolutely no reason for Burks to follow Cal knowing he will be recruited over again and isn’t one of Cal’s “guys”.
I’m old enough to remember when Cal said he didn’t want to take transfers at UK who were only about the money.
Boy, times have changed.

Haven't seen anything on that but if he goes there then my guess we don't want him. I guess he is satisfied with sitting on the bench.
