Stokes KY offer is supposedly in the 7-8 million range. If they land Stokes and can’t field enough around him to compete next year it’s going to get rowdy in Lex.

If he lands 4 of the top portal transfers and has another year like this year, the new AD may have his mind made up without Pope having a chance to win him over.

Speaking of which....we haven't heard anything about the new AD. Anybody have any news, rumors, innuendo, etc. regarding that?

If he lands all 4 and has a year similar to this one, I doubt he'd see year #4.

He will have to win over a new AD for that fourth year.

BG wants his shot at UK. Alabama is where BG ended up.

Interesting. Didn't see that one coming.

I wonder if he and Jasper will be teammates again next year (???)

[UKHoops01]

He has got to land some STARS or he is finished no matter the outcome of next season.

If he doesn't land any STARS but wins a national championship, I think he'll manage to stick around.

Of course,the chances of winning a national championship WITHOUT any stars isn't very likely, so......

It's all relative.

Kentucky going all in on Diallo Stokes Wright and Freeman. They want all 4 Freeman will visit Tuesday. He gets all of those 4 we are cooking with gas. [b]The next 2 days will determine if Pope gets a 4th year or not.[\b]

I've seen where Donnie Freeman is visiting tomorrow along with Wright and Stokes.
that would be quite a haul
.

Heck it would be a haul. Be like Peter putting the net in the water and pulling out the biggest set of fish in his life.

Do not see UK going after Mitch for anything. Heck they are paying crazy sums of money for nothing.

Maybe they could go after him to get out from under the JMI deal AND to get out from under having to pay him!

I know, I know..... wishful thinking on my part.

[Pobilly]

The best thing the University of Kentucky could do...is hire the absolute best legal team money can buy..... and fight this JMI monstrosity. The sooner they can get out from under it, the better. Maybe they should pursue legal charges against Mitch for getting the university into this mess in the first place!

His first & hopefully only visit, he'll be there at the same time Stokes is there. Not even going to get my hopes up, I still think they won't get either.

Is the JMI deal bad enough that they can't get any star players at all? Pat Kelsey hasn't done a damn thing... ever.. And he just landed Bidunga so it can't just be Mark Pope is the reason that not many players appear to want to come to UK.

Has me wondering the same thing. I don’t even buy Pooe being somewhat of a lame duck coach as being a deterrent since these kids are really only obligated to one season anymore anyway.

Stein the football coach has the same JMI deal and is killing it in the portal and recruiting. He just picked up a commit from the #2 QB in the 27 class. Pope just doesn’t have it I’m afraid.
