Quite a sad turn of events. KU was in the bag as of weeks ago. KU was def his college choice. That UA money got him to NBL & we prob have to play it safe on the Adidas $ for a while did us in

Never understood why more kids don’t do this. Playing for free for millionaire coaches and millionaire AD’s is a laughably stupid and racist system that I’d never want to participate in if I didn’t have to.
Marcus Garrett has to. Josh Jackson, Hampton, Wiggins et al don’t. The latter should absolutely go make 300-400k (plus endorsements ) for a year and stop making others rich under the guise of “amateur purity” |

It’s not going to DC. It’s perfectly fair game to discuss the corrupt NCAA system. You cannot discuss recruiting without talking about paying players and there’s one main reason you pay them: they’re desperate for the $$$ and they cannot earn it in college.
We lost a top-5 recruit, IMO, because we can’t pay him. We can only pay Self and Jeff Long. |

this is why I never believe these kids are committed until they sign on the dotted line. They are young, impulsive. They could change their mind overnight. That’s just who they are.

The only way this is a smart move is if he pulls a Grimes and we find out he is way overhyped and his stock drops off the map. Then he will be glad he took the money. |
