I’m just hoping McKneely ends up at UK or Tennessee instead of Duke, UNC, or Louisville. Best case scenario is he stays at UVA but I doubt that happens at this point. Excited to see what Ryan Odom can do with the portal and NIL though
And he's not even the best player that ever came from Morehead State. What a bum.
Did Kenneth Faried play for Morehead or Murray, can’t remember? Manimal was a beast.
That’s right. They knocked us out first round with Faried 😭. Harrell always reminded me of him.
Entering while your team is still in the tournament is nasty work
He's at the end of the bench anyway. Doubtful anyone would notice. 😂
He's good, but if he were that good, he'd be declaring for the draft.
He probably will. But some guys are elite college players and mediocre NBA draft prospects. They are two very different games.
Yep. I’ll retract my bold prediction if he follows Pitino to Xavier. I assumed he’d be the missing piece for an already very good team.
It's complete horseshit that the Portal opens before the Championship game.
Not sure where he'll end up, but Duke actually has a strong connection to Dent. He was HS teammates with Jared McCain. And McCain's brother, Jayce, is a graduate assistant for Duke.
Cayden Boozer is good, but not sure he's quite ready to be handed the keys to the corvette ( I expect all 5 Duke starters to be gone after this season). Duke reaching out makes a lot of sense.
Maybe for Duke, but $3 mil would leave little left for most schools.
I've heard KU's expected to "up their game" to 15 mil this year. No idea if it's true.
You think Boozer's okay with that? Isn't he supposed to be one of the most NBA-ready guards in awhile?
From what I've heard, KU's not expected to get heavily involved with Dent because Peterson's the lead guard.
More funding should be available next season when revenue sharing becomes an added income stream.
I would assume Dent wants a combination of a winning program + a reasonably high pay day. Top transfers were getting 2M last year. I could easily see Dent commanding 3M+. So yes, most schools probably can't compete for his services. A good chunk of the teams in the Sweet 16 + Louisville, Indiana, Kansas... and maybe a few outliers like Washington or Kansas State.
Cayden is the guard, and his twin brother, Cameron, is the big. Cameron could easily be 1st Team All-American. Not sure Cayden Boozer is even a OAD.. It might bother the family, though, feeling like they had a spot secured. Cayden is ranked just inside the top 25 by both Rivals and 247.
Looks like Creighton has found Kalkbrenner's replacement. Hearing Owen Freeman might commit to them soon.
Oops. As you can see, I don't follow other teams' HS recruits very closely.
You think K-State's NIL collective is at that level? I did hear rumors that Coleman Hawkins was paid $2 mil.
Who is responsible for that decision, and what is its reasoning? It doesn't make any sense.
Anything can change, of course. But, I'll say 95% confident he'll be at Creighton.
I think K-State's collective was in the top 5 a year ago. But, they kind of bombed on the season. Heard donors were frustrated with their investments. So, wouldn't be surprised if there's a drop-off. Why pay for expense players if they're not producing? And yes, Coleman Hawkins was around 2 Mil. Dug McDaniel, Achor Achor, and Ugonna Onyenso all had really big pay days, too.
@dukedevilz Did you happen to watch any Sam Houston State games this year? Out of all the portal guys UK has been linked to, I'm intrigued by this Lamar Wilkerson guy the most. Put up really good numbers on good shooting %'s. Feel like he could have a Kobt Brea type impact. Have you seen him play and if so do you think he would be a good pickup?
Arkansas gonna give him some Tyson stock and wings for life.
Barnes probably saw that he shoots 26% from 3 on 3.5 attempts per game and was like, "gotta land this guy!"
I read that his mom has health issues, so he wants to be close to home. Creighton.
I mean, Duke has the #1 incoming class every year. Should we just stay in permanent "watch out" mode?
