Rothstein reporting Zach Edey will return to Manure U next season.

Pick and roll him until he pukes. Or up and down them until he pukes. Either way, make him PUke.

I'm pretty sure he got a Porsche through NIL while being at UK too.  I'd say that's a 0% rate of return on that investment.

For approximately 2 million in NIL.   Kentucky gonna Kentucky.  Set the bar high enough to get who they want.
It's curious to me that Kentucky would be NIL champions/runner up.  I've always attributed NIKE money/agent money and WWW/Calipari connections to their recruiting wins.  So if Oscar isn't a bonafide NBA guy, is Nike still paying into this NIL because HE IS a bonafide NCAA star?  Is that enough ROI for them?  Is it boosters?  I don't imagine Kentucky Boosters run the show but maybe I underestimate them.  Lots to ponder.  

Don’t underestimate pUKe booster money. It’s REAL

They will find a way to be competitive. They get more out of players no one ever heard about than any team I know. We think of this last season as a failure for them, but they still won 29 games and made the sweet sixteen. Pretty sure we would have been happy with that this year.

I only think of it as a failure because they finally rose to #1 and only held it for a day and then got beat by a low rated mid-major in the sweet 16. It was far below expectations. Indiana matched or exceeded expectations.

Agree, the relative expectations were completely different.

Looks like Hubert Davis will need to try to talk some folks into dropping schollys and becoming walk-ons, too ... He's only losing one player and has a three-man recruiting class. Didn't even get to visit the portal ...

They pretty much underachieved for most of this year until making the run in the tournament.

Arkansas, Kansas, UCLA, Houston, Baylor in the mix. If TJD returns we are in the next 5-7 after that.

Wait, wait, wait.....didn't Dawson Garcia transfer?

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,934]

Assuming TJD returns B1G IMO will go through Indiana, Michigan, or OSU next season.

Yep. That's true -- maybe he's not quite a scholarship bind.
