Everyone in the country, including the so called experts that are close to the program (KSR), are all saying we spent 22 million on this roster, yet I keep reading some fan comments on this board say there is no way we spent 22 million on this roster. Did all these so called experts get together and decide to make this number up to report it? No one from UK is denying it. It is a silent camp on this number. It was stated again tonight on the KSR post game show that this is a 22 million roster. It is OK to admit we overpaid. Just like it is OK to admit that Pope is not ready for this job.

It just doesn't make sense given the numbers thrown around for the premier football programs, which is around $30 mil at the highest. Why have I not heard the numbers for any other program? How much did Duke and Uconn pay?

I have always found this to be the silliest argument:

- One side is absolutely certain we spent $22M and says it every sentence

- The other side is absolutely certain we did NOT spend $22M and argues it constantly.

Pointless. Literally none of us know how much was spent. It could be $22M, could be $10M, could be $100M —- none of it would excuse what’s happening on the court.

None of you know? What about the reports? You always cite the reports. Why don’t the reports matter here?

Because your employer sucks and no way they got 22M together for this roster.
But the reports, that’s where you uneducated simpletons get your “facts” the reports. Too bad the reports don’t give trash like you an excuse when Will Stein made you and your message board boyfriends look stupid.

How do clueless simpletons like you know which reports with zero evidence to back them up to believe and which ones to not believe? How does your ignorance work?

Why would I be butthurt, I’m not the one Will Stein exposed as being a lying piece of trash. That would be you. You ended up looking stupid like you always do. You’re a terrible person, I live it when trash like you get exposed.

Will Stein wants know how recruiting is handcuffed?

We have a poster who exclusively berates the board in such an egregious manner that something needs to be done. He’s harassing the entire board without pause and has been warned numerous times to stop but doesn’t listen. Please review the account history of @Anon477434 and do us a favor and remove this sack of trash so that we can post peacefully. Thank you.

There’s a level of extreme where the person isn’t even engaging or conversing. Dude just screams and calls names like a petulant child and I don’t think anyone would be sad. Next time he attacks a poster, I’ll see that he gets his well deserved nuke
What conversation could we possibly have Mr I’m telling. You’re a weak lying coward who can’t even back up your lies and don’t want have a real conversation about these restrictions you claim is hurting UK recruiting. You can’t have a conversation about the restrictions you claim we have because you’re a lowlife liar.

Dude, you know you don’t even try to talk to anyone. You troll the board and call everyone names. If your account gets banned, the board is better for it. If you come back with a different account maybe you can at least try to be respectful. Be gone, troll

Oh I tried to talk but we all know you don’t want that. Specifically what are the restrictions that are hurting UK recruiting… in basketball only?

I don’t respect liars,frauds, or garbage human beings. I could never be respectful to you. Again, you’re a terrible person.

All I know is that Duke has 6-7 5 stars, and I’ve not once heard what they spent. Same with numerous other loaded teams like Michigan, Arizona, Purdue. Never hear a word what they spent, but, somehow, someway, everyone wants to talk about what Kentucky spent. It’s amazing.

This is what tells me it’s probably accurate. If the number was way off, then somebody in position to know would’ve denied it. But not a single person associated with UK has denied anything about it.

I think the posters on this board who deny it simply can’t bring themselves to believe that college kids make that kind of dough …especially when compared to their own paltry salaries.

Seems kind of stupid that Indiana fired Sampson for calling recruits during a dead period. Pearl gets a 5 year ban for hosting recruits for a barbecue during a dead period. Kentucky almost got the death penalty for “supposedly“ giving a recruits family $2500.

Guys getting millions of dollars now. Some fake injuries and still get the money.

I don’t think that it’s 22m this year alone. I doubt they signed everyone to 1 year contracts
This ain’t the NBA. You can’t contractually commit college players to stay for multiple years.

whatever the number is, it’s for this year alone.

What is “the other side”? Fans? It’s funny how Pope or really nobody in the media has refuted it. But hey, some dudes on a message board thinks it’s hogwash. 🤷🏻‍♂️

pretty good troll. I laughed.
Don’t laugh, this is a serious problem. What are the JMI issues specifically? Let’s get to the bottom of this. I’ll never get why this is so hard for you all to answer giving that it’s allegedly ruining UK athletics until 2040. What specifically are the issues?

JMI sucks and has destroyed Kentucky basketball and that’s why they’ve got ONE SEC program and had to pay outrageous amounts just to get that. And they’ll never get another. The damage to them is gonna be permanent if the sht keeps up and they don’t rework it. Doesn’t matter what a bunch of nobodies say, it does matter what the nation is saying and thinking. It matters what the recruits are saying. And then you’ve got an entire UK fanbase screaming and crying to get away from them.

Hell rival fans on twitter laugh and say recruiting won’t be hard against Kentucky anymore now that JMI is there.

Tennessee took a top 5 player from Kentucky and that has never happened before. JMI signs to Kentucky and suddenly Tennessee gets 5 star top 5 players over us. You suck and so does JMI. BUT YOU SUCK MORE and that’s hard to do.
