Freeman possible visiting friday

[Marat]

Choosing more money over more winning. It is what it is… Next!

Not a UConn guy. Plus risky as well.

Freeman's agent played this well for his client. Get the big NIL offer from Pope first and then see who is interested in matching- getting close to it. Bama gets their shot next week. FWIW-Kinda looks like Wilkins agent is doing the same thing.

Yep Maybe we can get Wilkins the following year from the Portal.

I prefer Khamenia over Freeman and people need to be realistic and understand that we were never getting both of them. They were both targeted as Karaban replacements. Khamenia was not going to play the 3 in place of Mullins going to the NBA, or Mullins sliding down to the 2 in place of Solo. I am hoping that this news does mean it's Hulk Khamenia time though.

Hence the reason I’m surprised there isn’t an Arkansas visit involved here. If there is anything that can get UK to “rage pay” a kid I would think any hint of Cal being in the mix is the ultimate trigger

So is Mr. Khamenia on the clock now?? 🤔

 

[husky99]

Trust the process. Seems like he is weak on D and turmover and passing statistics are not amazing. Alot of natural abilities and been poorly coached

Danny doesn’t get in to bidding wars.

 

[Inyatkin]

If we don’t get him let’s not pretend like we didn’t want him

 

[husky99]

Absolutely wanted him and there are better fits. Both can be true

 

[MrDownunder]

Choosing money over winning is a novel concept. I have aways understood the making huge amounts of money is winning.

It'd be the Flagg recruiting saga all over again.

Did people actually say they never wanted Cooper Flagg? I don’t remember that but I can believe it

I think a lot of "We don't need him anyway" talk. We definitely needed him. Lol

It’s not that simple. Have to factor in money. I still contend there was no way to land Hines, khamenia, freeman and still retain Mullins and ball. The price for freeman has risen and it’s fair to say we don’t want him at the current price.

But we wanted Mullins more, and that seems like what this came down to.

Or maybe its our Donors who don't want him at the price he is asking? I assume we reach out to our donors and see if they want to up their contributions when bidding wars like this start.

A lot is going to play out this next day or two.

Hearing that Khamenia playing a leverage move to get more NIL from Duke. Duke not doing well in the portal and wants to retain him. I hope we don't get played by both Freeman and Khamenia. Also, very quiet on a backup point guard. Does Hurley plan on making do with Solo and Ross if Demary is injured or in foul trouble?

 

[MrDownunder]

I have been watching film on Landrew. We may not need either one of these guys.

It’s like you don’t even know us.

Oh no, he knows us perfectly well.

That’s what my manager told me when he justified my measly pay raise this year.

This makes absolutely no sense. Duke probably has 10x deeper pockets for NIL. I can't imagine we're offering him substantially more than what Duke probably gave him even last year as a 5* Freshman.

But the portal era is crazy so who knows.

I'll hope that your "hearing that" source is FOS...

Where did you hear that?

A ton of wild speculation.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

plus Landrew and County!

First Flagg and now this kid. We’re becoming the go-to leverage play for kids who are ready to get paid in exchange for not winning anything other than the ACC regular season and tourney participation trophies. I’m sure they’ll coast to those once again.
