Me thinks the cayut fan is showing his “concern” that UofL got such a highly rated and regarded recruit. Of course he’ll deny this but we all know what happens when a uahkay fan’s lips are moving. I think I’ll just wait for this young man to perform on the court. Yep I’m glad he’s here but I think I’ll just wait . . . . .

GO CARDS - BEAT EVERYBODY!!! God Bless America!!!

Louisville fans don’t do back flips and social media stalk 17 year old boys like Ky fans do. We are happy he’s here but we do have lives.

The concern is they're practiced in the art of pay for play...
Liked bc I new it was coming. I was worried if he cracked the top 25 he’d reach that threshold of too talented to recruit safely. :p

Although, do late jumps past the threshold count? I can almost guarantee Mack wouldn’t risk his job, but literally anyone in the top 100 players is getting extra compensation. CBB is a dirty game right now.

Let me ask this question here in May 2019...

Do you think the agents, handlers, runners, and guys in the shadows of college basketball say about Williamson...

"Oh well, we missed out trying to influence THAT guy!"

Hardly. It just means his phone is ringing a lot more now than it was previously... ;)

Guaran-damn-tee you that kid now can get what he couldn't get before. The only question is whether he takes it...

isn’t he signed? No getting out of the class now. It would just be a matter of them trying to get him to rep adidas with his social media and sign with them after he gets out. I suppose this happens at either position (35 or 15) though.

That's really not the basis for pay for play... It's all about relationships, establishing those relationships with kids for future gain. It really doesn't matter what school the kid attends.

Of course, the shoe reps want them playing for their schools. But they all want the financial returns they get in the future. If it's Nike, they hope the kid remains with Nike when he turns pro.

And if you're an agent, financial adviser, etc., all you want is the kid to remember you when he signs his first contract.

Sure, Nike would have loved to have had more of a relationship with Williamson. But the guy's 18 years old with his entire career ahead of him. He's still fertile ground for EVERYONE to come after...
