Now we may have something! Let’s go.

Per Jack Pilgrim, UK had to up it to 8 million to get the deal done.

IF that is true, Pope needs to make it clear Mom needs to shoot a minimum of 40 3's per game or gather splinters sitting on the bench!!

Matt Jones and a few national guys shut that down last night stating they are hearing north of 6 million or around 6.5 million total.

Great recruit, hope this bodes well for Pope.

Reminds me of a Sandler routine from "They're All Gonna Laugh at You" called Teenage Love on the Phone. Not appropriate for general message board consumption!

JP is an idiot. Puke comes out of his mouth when he opens it.

[TrueblueCATfan]

that's a lot of money for one player

It is. But, he could likely save Pope's job. Probably a good gamble for the head coach.

[Pobilly]

YUP but matt Jones and some national writers are stating it is just over 6 million (6.5 million). Not the 8 that Jack stated.

[South jones]

I'm not sure if anyone outside of the schools AND THE RECRUIT/Agent etc really knows what the amount is being paid to any of these players
if that were common knowledge i can see where that could create internal issues among the players..
Maybe not

[Cawood86]

I'm tired of hearing the money amounts. It is what it is. What's the purpose of knowing?

That's how I feel about the other JP (Polacheck) but I won't go any farther because this is a family establishment.

Back to the topic at hand. Great get for Pope and everyone who knows me knows I'm not a Pope guy in the least but this will reduce hostilities he's seen from fans by a lot. I'm back to how I was prior to year 1 where I was in the let's see what you got mode.

I saw a stat that Pope has grabbed the top two shooters in 2 of his 3 years at UK (Brea, Momcilovic). I think when Pope was hired, many of us envisioned a roster with those kinds of shooters- we did not really have that last season. I was fairly lukewarm on the roster, but adding Momcilovic takes my excitement up a few notches.

I agree...money ain't coming out of my pocket

Exactly
