I know some UK fans don't like Goodman because they feel he hasn't been nice to the bb program in the past. That sort of thing doesn't bother me. I look at it this way Goodman is making a very good living staying on top of things and reporting on his findings. Having said that, I read an article yesterday in which he said not getting Stokes might not be the worst thing that could happen to UK. He said it's well documented that Stokes has a way about him that might turn some of his teammates off, he will expect everything to run through him and getting him might keep some good players from considering UK. Take that for what it's worth.
I think Goodman's beef was mostly with Cal, not so much UK.
If you can get Stokes to come, I think you 100% take him. With that said, I do not think we are in a position to wait around for two weeks so he can see what rosters look like between UK and KU. You are the #1 player in your class, act like it. I think it's perfectly resonable to lay out the offer and say you have a couple days to let us know, if no answer by the end of the week we are moving forward.
Jack on KSR said he thinks every time someone in media asks him he moves his date back further. lol
He will hopefully commit before summer sessions start. But again I expect Oregon or KU to get the pick up.

Sounds like Tyran stokes to Kentucky is about a done deal. Pope threw the bank at stokes to the point he can’t say no. Mark pope has never coached a first round draft pick in his head coaching career, & UK hasn’t been to a final four in over a decade. Nike wins again.

Gonna need to see this from a way better source before I believe it lol
Agree, I post this because you have Kansas fans starting to feel like it is not them and they are hearing from their sources. This guy is a KU guy and money man in banking and such. ON the 22nd of April he posted something like they are in the lead. I have a feeling that Stokes went back for more money and probably do not want to match UK offer. Have no idea what that offer is but it is probably fairly large. Pope has to be feeling the hot breath on the back of his neck.
Figuring out what drives recruits to schools can often feel like throwing darts with your eyes closed and hoping something lands. Your immediate response to th
Several Reporting out there that Stoke might make his choice known on Monday along with Monday being the day for Miikka Muurinen decision day as well. I will believe it when we see it on Stokes.
A trusted source believed Tyran Stokes was going to make his college decision between Kansas and Kentucky by Monday. It turns out that was not the case.
This kid thinks he's Lebron James, wouldn't be surprised if he gets ESPN to do a 30 minute live broadcast showing highlights and him committing to Kansas.
