2025-26 Roster Chatter (UPDATE: Oweh Returns, Roster Complete)

[KCKUKFan]

Actually that's pretty funny. In high school playing a competitive sport, I won all kinds of awards. Skipping college offers and full time rides, I went to the Military and earned my stripes. After that, I was a elected representative for Local 89 Union. Then came sales where I flourished and made a name for myself working for some of the most respective dealers in the state of Kentucky that lead me working for a dealer who was recognized by GOOGLE AND FACEBOOK to be first Nationwide dealer to run it's programs, plus the owner had a good stake in the Cincinatti Reds with owner box seats. I was able to get hands on training multiple times from billionaire Grant Cardone, he knows me by name. After retiring from the car business after turning down a lucrative offer from GM , I switched Industries and am now known as one of the best of the best in the entire United States, I have 19 plaques and awards setting behind my desk at I type this. All this doesn't even include all my side adventures of being in the music business for over 35 plus years and all the songs i have written, produced, engineered and recorded or my aspirations to play professional golf (which I failed) and/or finally figured it our when it was too late..

At the end of the day, I am just a poor kid from Kentucky from a broken home of chaos that came from nothing and defied the odds, self made, I should be dead or in prison. Still ,all that means nothing, richest people I know don't have much at all but are rich with family, peace and God...

It's all good..

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

I played against Bob McCann in a tournament. I got switched off on some screens and ended up guarding him( using the term guarding may not be accurate). Saw the bottom of his tennis shoes a few times.

The only notable player I played against was a friend of mine I would pick up for school and give him a ride , 6'11 all 8th region that ended up at Louisville then Eastern Kentucky. Slow traditional old school post player.

Now there was a guy that played street/park ball who was the truth, 6'4 built like Royce White that could shoot pass dribble drive defend and jump out of a gym, strong as a OX. In my opinion he better than Sleetz, Casey, Hurt, Slaughter, Simmons, or McKnight here in my area. He was the best of the best but he was a street hustler/dealer, college or pro ball was never in his DNA.

SEC basketball analyst, Max Barr just said the Indiana visit with Wilkerson did not go well. No details…

....

Well, that's definitely a fun fact.

Well, that's definitely a fun fact.

NO COMMENT!!!!!!!!!!

Just goes to show how these ratings are so conflicted many times.

I checked Max Barr's Twitter and didn't see it. May've been on a podcast episode he's on?

Rivals guys are saying that Trilly says Indiana is offering significantly more money.

[KentuckyWild2020]

If Oweh is a potential second round pick, I have to believe he can make more money by staying at Kentucky.

Plus the excitement of the roster that's being built, that has to be something he would be excited about I would assume...

Link?

Everything I've seen suggests they're offering him around $600k more than we are, and his camp is trying to get a sense of his true market value. There's some belief that he's attracted to the role, exposure, and opportunity to win that he'd get at UK, but I still think this could be as simple as who's willing to write the largest check.

Edit: Supposedly, UK isn't willing to go dollar-to-dollar with IU. Since Indiana has so few players on its current roster, they're in position to spend as much as it takes to land Wilkerson. Don't take that as a statement on UK's NIL situation; it's just that more of our money is already tied up.

I saw the "Wilkerson's visit didn't go well at Indiana" thing yesterday afternoon on Twitter, but didn't buy it because the person who posted it was a UK fan/writer.

Yeah, I've seen no such reports.

[KCKUKFan]

We REALLY need a 2, so I hope Pope isn't going to squabble over a few hundred thousand dollars.

[Joneslab]

Indiana looks to have virtually no team other than the coach's son and an assortment of just a few others, so I'd say they have a pretty enormous war chest to pull from.

At this point with Kentucky, especially with Oweh hanging out there and Garrison having just pulled the trigger, conventional wisdom tells you that Kentucky might not have a ton more to throw out.

I was hoping Wilkerson, seeing a potential at playing on a title contender and his uncle being associated with UK and etc., would maybe jump in anyway. But I don't think Kentucky could beat them (or Auburn if it comes to it) in a bidding war at this point.
