It is rather hilarious how people track this stuff. You wonder if texts are just forwarded with the $ offers to show which program is in the "lead"

Free markets doing their thing. Good to see kids getting their value.

I think in the next couple of years of this maybe UofL leadership will have a better pulse on where this program fits in with it all.

If you are outbid every time, may want to stop wasting your time on that level of a player.

We'll find out!

LOL, their worth dribbling and throwing a leather ball is worth hundred thousandths and millions. All i've done in my life is be a democracy protector of freedom and rights. Military and Law Enforcement for two pensions and a VA comp not equaling anything close to some teens. Good ole American capitalism.

It's already been put out how the recruiting game works now. 5 star NBA level kids are not speaking without a 7 fig offer . Both 4 star and 5 stars demand a payment to visit. It's sad nothing but a bidding war and for the 5 star you better have a track record of NBA player deelopment.

This is why i don't get excited with local coverage of recruiting always more going on than put out.

Might be reading too much into things but the verbiage Brohm used regarding Quincy Riley seems concerning….kind of dismissive.

I hope he gets a nice settlement out of this. Tragic case.

There may be other reasons in play even though they don't play the same position. But maybe not. Maybe all four guys end up at Duke.

I really want to see how Kelsey handles 25 class. Thing is he was able to get portal guys to buy into coming off the bench. Because the roster was totally empty. Next season he has a few slated to return that more than likely want to start. And with him trying get multiple HS 4 and 5 stars. Whom i'm willing to bet especially the 5 stars are not wanting to come off the bench. I read where at C of C , he recruited a certain way but he is now dealing with an entirely diffrent mindest of kids on this level.

Duke,UK (Calipari),Kansas ,NC and now Ark (Calipari) , get away with multiple guys at positions because these schools have the NBA cache to back it up. Kelsey going too have really sell some cars to win over these kds.

Would be huge if Kelsey lands both Ament and Henderson for next year. Hopefully the Boozer twins committing to Duke helps these two towards UofL as they might be a package deal.

At the very least the Boozers committing should start a domino effect of others deciding where to go.

Cayden is a PG ,Cameron is a PF .

You mean that Arkansas team that was mostly made up of shooting guards who couldn't play defense? The one with El Ellis on it? That was a group of individuals, not a team and that was clear as day if you watched them play. We will see shortly though.

It's pretty much the same style Kelsey plays running and gunning.

One thing that could bolster or beat down this team in year one: The schedule.

The schedule is pretty brutal right from the jump. Most people probably didn't want to see cupcake city but this team will go through trial by fire before the season ends.

That's exactly why i stated confidence can be good or bad. I would have left myself some wiggle room. As we know fans are very fickle will turn on you quickly.With some of those opponent's the product can look either good or bad. That's why i don't get why some folks are crying about where some media have them picked in the ACC. Putting them in the middle is pretty fair.

502, you are living in the past; and your use of statistics to support your opinion is flawed. 24/7 and Rival recruiting data has been around a long time, but the Portal has only been in place since 2018, and it took several more years (2021) before NIL was adopted by the NCAA. What you fail to understand, is it is not about the number of players on the roster who return to their original school selection, but it is the much smaller number of skill position players who influence the improvement of these schools. The QBs clearly have the greatest impact, followed by the WRs, RBs, and CBs. Vanderbilt serves as the best example of my point, Diego Pavia arriving at QB explains their success in Nashville.

The Portal “giveth and taketh away”; look at our own roster and tell me where we would be without the Portal? We will begin to see this phenomena increase as schools realize they must succeed with attracting NIL funds, as most of the big money will be directed towards the Portal where there is evidence of performance at the Collegiant level.

Yes, I think it is crucial that we make the tournament. We’ve had recent movement in high school recruiting but it still looks like we will have a small class and we will need to acquire 4-6 transfers. We need to be able to sell our success to recruits in the transfer portal.
