JMI requiring the players to sign over the rights to their outside NIL. Meaning a player can't go out an get other NIL opportunities outside of JMI collective and JMI gets ownership of that player's NIL once the player is paid. Seems to be a HUGE roadblock as no other team in the country is requiring that.
He did! After reading that KSR expose’, I’m sure Stokes and his camp had to take showers to wash the cringe off… Used/ Using UK’s overblown NIL perception to up the real offers, hence Vanderbilt.
Please hire him. Stay away from beard.Nah, Kansas actually has a coach in waiting.
Jacque Vaughn - Assistant Coach - Men's Basketball Coaches - University of Kansas
Kansas great Jacque Vaughn, a former All-American, whose No. 11 jersey hangs in the rafters of Allen Fieldhouse, was named assistant coach for his alma mater...kuathletics.com
Last year was a good job for the time he had and the patchwork he put together. But last year was last year. He has to show he can be a dog now and he's not. The recruiting stuff coming out by Jack Pilgrim is extremely alarming.
Beard wanted Perry to sign on shooting ability. Probably for a bench piece to use junior senior year. He’s not someone he took for a major role. Beard is one of the best coaches in the country. He does more with less than anyone in the league. That guy with UK’s brand and resources would absolutely hang banners. He’s an excellent motivator.
Don’t see him being that great. Could be wrong but I’d much prefer they go that route than hiring Oats or Beard.
No, we just have a coach that believes in a god made of magic rocks or some **** and this is what we get for it.
This was true early on. Or might have been true early. We did have some injuries but now it’s clear with what’s come out THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM.
Landing him is only the first hurdle, hanging on to him is an even bigger hurdle, especially with the drama surrounding this kid AND the crap year we're having.
Still curious as to why you don’t think Barnhart should be fired I can give an entire list of reasons I was wondering what your list would be for keeping him.
Then they also need to stop calling for his head and saying he cant recruit. You can't have it both ways
It's jed, not bud. lol. Still doesn't answer me. But that's fine, not everything requires an answer.
Right, but my point was, don't just get a kid that is a 5* just because he has length and athleticism, it has to make sense. That kid ain't going to be any good until he's long gone from here.
They finished 24-12 and in 8th place in the SEC. Let's not re-write history and act like last year was some major success.
Tubby should not ever be compared to Pope. Signed Keith Bogans, Rajon Rondo, Jodie Meeks, Joe Crawford, Randoph Morris, Ramel Bradley, Tayshaun Prince, Chuck Hayes
All you had to say was Rondo and Prince. Ballgame!
I’m just looking ahead. Let me ask you. Are you not worried the Pope hasn’t signed a single recruit for next year? You are good with that? There isn’t many guys left.
If we had a complete healthy team for the Tourney last year and we would have at least madd the final four.
Honestly, JQ wanted to come to Kentucky originally until Arizona State gave him a boat load of money. I do not think Pope had much to do with him coming back. He had already committed once, so I would need another example of Pope getting a High Caliber recruit.
severely doubt that, im not going to act like our team was super special, we lost 14 games i think
I think he does need to be fired based on the coaching searches, though I do agree that this NIL thing is way out of hand, goes against the idea of "student athlete" (where you earned a scholarship or paid your own way), and that a coach SHOULD be able to convince players that UK is a place they want to be.
I guess if you choose to look at it with that kind of mindset, sure, cool, have at it.
I am not the one with my head in the sand defending this staff. They showed me enough last year that I thought this was a train wreck waiting to happen. I just hope we can put the pieces back together once this run away train comes to a stop. Ohio State is a football school that does not care about basketball. I hope he proves me wrong but it when it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, it is usually a duck.
I’ll be honest, I’m so tired of hearing about how great last year was. We were 24-12 and 10-8 in the SEC for a 6th place finish and was blown out by Alabama in the quarterfinals of the SEC tournament and blown out by Tennessee in the Sweet 16. Wish we’d save the superlatives for when we actually have a decent season and not a mediocre to average one.
Not quite the worst. Billy takes that but he’s right there with Tubby for second worst.
Funny that you laugh. The usual suspects were jumpimg around yelling that we wernt even going to field a team last year when Travis Perry was the only one on tbe roster.Killer roster???
He doesn’t have a choice at this point. His team lacks talent. His recruiting is bad and next years team looks even less talented than the first two.
