Really good player on a good mid major program.

Really good player on a good mid major program.

Kid can really shoot it and has good size at 6'4" - over 3 years 87% from the line and 39% from three. Sounds like he has a decent shot to get drafted though.

Good for AJ, supremely gifted athlete. Has the size and athleticism for the NBA. Weak draft by all accounts, if he stays in it perhaps he latches on

My guess he does the intelligent thing and gets feedback for his development and returns to college.

I didnt watch much of Wisconsin but the three or four times i did he was awful. I guess that wasnt representative of his whole season.

He still doesn't play defense.

2025 draft is thought to be deeper than 2024 though. Tough decision.

I think you're misinterpreting the article. It's less about Kentucky not paying players, but more about how they're completely disorganized with NIL & Calipari creating a mess around it.

Since WHEN has Kentucky had ANY problems with finding top $ for players?
This is a smokescreen article directly aimed to criticize Calipari.

All BS...............he has 5 star recruits sitting on the bench.

I read that article and immediately wondered how someone who operates one collectible store could afford a $1,000,000 NIL. I am in the wrong business.

Right, I saw that. He went from starting with 10k in 2017 to being able to offer someone 7 figures in 2024. I can see why Kentucky would want to do some vetting. Or, I am in the wrong business !

Either way, I hope his shop continues to be lucrative and if Kentucky continues to have down years all the better for the Big East vs SEC.

Article wasn’t about them not being able to find money but the process is convoluted and disorganized. It actually shows how much more money is out there for their players and yes, more to criticize Cal on.

On his visit, the “Cliff formula“ next week

Often you see a kid on the “has been contacted” list, noting a school and often not the case. A lot of times handlers like to enrich the interest lists & get a nod from a school to list it despite zero interest. Why? The school often is eyeballing another player associating with the handler down the road. Horse trading

Well then maybe Pitino can trade one of his horses for a player
