Alright, fair enough. How about "unjustly paid"?
"Unjustly paid" generally refers to a situation where a person receives money or benefits that they did not earn, do not deserve, or are not legally entitled to, or conversely, where a person is paid unfairly low wages for work performed (Definitely not applicable to Quaintence). In legal terms, this is often associated with the doctrine of unjust enrichment, where one party benefits at the expense of another in a manner considered unfair or illegal.
While not illegal (which the term "stole" would indicate and that I used metaphorically), everything else said there (minus the "low wage" part) is DEFINITELY applicable.

I agree with that. But the contract on an injured player should take core of that issue. We all know now that Pope had 22 mil to spend last year and gave it to whomever he could. Heck I am 60, overweight, had many surgeries on one knee 5 and 13 hernia repairs. If I could have gotten a contract fro some of that money I would have. lol
That is not on the player and all on the institution.Proverbs 25:24Comment

Sounds like Donnie Freeman will be on campus Monday as well.
Could we land Wright, Stokes, and Freeman?
Could JQ return?
If all four work out (doubtful):
PG Wright/Portal/M. Williams
SG Portal/Portal
SF Stokes/Hawthorne/Noah
PF Freeman/K. Williams
C Moreno/Quaintance/Potter
I for one would be pretty happy with that outcome.
Pope will be left with the task of finding some shooters to play at the SG and backup PG spot.
The offseason concern would be JQ staying healthy, but I would feel better knowing that Moreno is our legitimate starter inside and JQ is just a bonus, if he can get back to his old self. I might add another big, just in case, if you can find one cheap. Maybe a guy that would redshirt if JQ is 100%.Comment

This would be a dream scenario...even if only three (Wright, Freeman, Stokes) commit to UK. 247 Sports has a 100% prediction for Magoon Gwath to come to UK, and in all honesty I'd rather see Moreno return with Gwath as the backup than see Quaintence return. We'd probably get more production from Gwath than Quaintence and at a reduced cost.Comment

I wonder if the summer trip overseas will bring in some of these guys. Extra month of practice and playing games against other competition over the summer. Plus the travel. These guys love this type of life. Play ball all summer but getting to play some actual games and getting to bond together.Proverbs 25:24Comment

If rumor is correct, Pope is wanting two good PG/CG types to start together. He wants more playmakers.
Word is that he wanted to pair Wright and Diallo together, Diallo wasn’t interested.
If he could get Wright and somebody like Terrence Brown from Utah, that could be a good combo. Brown can score (20ppg) and is a decent shooter (33% from 3). Wright is a good scorer as well (18ppg) and a great shooter (41% from 3). Wright averaged nearly 5 assists a game, while Brown averaged about 4 a game, so both are excellent playmakers. Stokes is being touted as a Point Forward, and is said to be a good passer and playmaker.
Wright and Brown in the backcourt plus Stokes, Freeman, and Moreno along the frontline could be a formidable starting five. Kam Hawthorne, Quaintance, and maybe a guy like BJ Davis (PG from SDSU) coming off the bench. Then Mason Williams, Potter, and Noah as practice/emergency guys. Maybe add one more shooter on the wing. That would be a pretty good roster.Comment

That would probably be about all that is necessary, in all honesty. Maybe a natural backup 4/PG to backup Freeman, since neither Quaintence or Hawthorne fits that bill, even though they could play there in a pinch.Comment

The part I highlighted in bold is what I want to focus on. Because I'm not disagreeing with anything you said. But in the SEC (and college basketball in general) there are going to be games where we're matched up against teams that have absolute beasts on the low block. And while Kam is "bigger and stronger than Hawthorne"....he still won't be an ideal matchup for the bigger, stronger and more physical Power Forwards across the college basketball landscape. It's always nice to have some big bodies to throw up against some of the more physical teams.... that's exactly what led to Pope wanting more of an emphasis on toughness and defense in year 2. And that's why I said "natural PF", and not another stretch 4 type that can play the position. We'll be good in that regard....it's just that we could use more size for physical, inside play.
Of course, this is all hypothetical and purely speculative, because we don't even know who the core group of players are going to be! LOLComment
