Not sure I’ve seen UK fans this beat down since Eddie Sutton. Holding on to hope that Sheppard stayed ended today and Jerry Jones offered to double any UK NIL offer LOL!

Where is CGM when you need him!

Tip of the hat, to whoever had a hand in raising this young man

After all the departures in Madison, some Bucky fans have been calling for a changing of the Gard (see what I did there?) 

Not gonna happen. At least not anytime soon.

Not the least bit surprising.  Their new ADs future is tied to Fickell whom he fired Chryst for.  Chryst was possibly their most successful football coach since Alvarez. He's not firing a guy that makes the tourney every year.  Without knowing the specifics I'd guess the buyout is like most and drops to near zero the last couple years,  so this is just giving Gard 2-3 years to continue on.

Probably a good call, kind of like his older brother did he’s been growing his game well coming into college, should be a versatile combo guard with NBA potential.

No COVID year for Coleman Hawkins.

Interesting. That’s his 2nd de-commitment. Was previously committed to Auburn, I believe. He’s from Alabama and given all the kids Bama has lost it’s hard not to think that might be the move. Would certainly suit his game.

so glad to see that little brother’s title game appearance has really helped their NIL fund.

C’mon, this can’t be real, can it? Seriously?

Looks like Heide has one as well.

If Purdue can't scrape together 7500 per kid to go abroad, maybe they should... go get a job instead of begging :) Lol

[Hovadipo 54,926]

Wasn't yesterday Purdue's day of giving too? That's some poetry right there.

Thank God we’re basically in the last year of this.

They had their run and the pecking order is being reset.  I think NIL has turned into garbage that will have to be dealt with in some manner or it is going to kill college athletics.  We are just lucky that we are fans of a program that has Yankee and Dodger money as opposed to Pirates cash....

Somewhat random, but I just read there are fewer than 3000 people worldwide that are 7'1" or taller. 

My guess is Matt Painter has recruited most of them.
