Fair. I just thought it was interesting if true.The source is a Twitter account with like 700 followers
Caveat that this is just a rumor, but if it's anywhere close, it's a reflection of just how well-structured AND monied you have to be to chase top targets, especially if they have draft aspirations and multiple years of eligibility remaining. In that case not only do you have to think about competing with other schools, but also NBA rookie deals and potential overseas contracts:I mean if Jesse is getting 800k a year, I don't find something north of 1M, possibly approaching 2M, for a better big man out of the question. Not saying we should pay that or it's worth it, but I could see a blue blood like Kentucky ponying up that kind of money.
If that rumor is even close to being accurate (even 30-40% of that number) then how do we feel now about what was perceived to be way to high NIL for Jesse? Seems like a bargain now.
Yeah, Jesse's a very good player but he isn't especially close to Dickinson. The additional 30 pounds and ability to hit threes are major difference-makers for him.Still not a bargain at all. These things aren't linear. Think seismic.

It’s the Hokey Pokey for college athletes.Re-entering the portal is a young man's game.
Sounds like the Boras trick: "there's a mystery team involved...""Hunter is commanding $4,000,000 in NIL..."

Sure, but let’s make a list of guys who’ve gotten stronger and a list of guys who haven’t gotten stronger and see what one is bigger.Gee. He was a freshman, dont we think he will get stronger and better.
Anyone that wants Cisse over Dickinson doesn’t have a clue about basketball. Those takes are white hot.My question on wanting Cisse over Dickinson: If we start Judah/JJ/Chance, wouldn't they benefit from having a Big who would need to be guarded on the perimeter, thus opening up driving lanes? And wouldn't that squad need more shooting anyway?
Huh?Anyone that wants Cisse over Dickinson doesn’t have a clue about basketball. Those takes are white hot.
What’s the confusion?Huh?

Kansas might have a bigger salary cap than UK. Not sure where this money is coming from.He will take a pay cut in the NBA
I was going to ask that too. I mean, it's Lawrence. Are there super wealthy alums? Former players? They were getting bags via Adidas, maybe they still are.Kansas might have a bigger salary cap than UK. Not sure where this money is coming from.
