KSR is all I needed to see to not put any stock into that lol. KSR the same guys who whine like petulant children when Tennessee beats them every year in football? I don’t trust a word they say.

Exactly haha

 

[GBO18]

If this is true, then why is he visiting Tennessee later this week? That was just reported by Sean Sparks on Vol Vault. I believe we are in this to win it! It's time to get in the press and bring the defensive heat! Barnes is pretty good at bringing the heat!!!

I wasn’t being serious haha. KSR is awful and dude was probably lying to get the fan base excited. Lanier does need to hurry up though haha

 

[Tanner1010]

the dude reporting that is just a plan KSR member. not anyone that’s got any insight

Ducking great. Go. Get. Cam Chrstie.

This is why you don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

I hope we pull it out.

That’s also when they had Cal. Maybe info is easier to come by now. Access may be different.

That gets reported and then Trilly says UK leads. Maybe it isn’t far fetched?

Gotta be honest, if we lose Lanier to UK/Pope when they have an unproven head coach and we have been all in on Lanier and overconfident that he is ours, that’s going to be a real stinger.

I understand recruiting is different nowadays since some team can just come out with a huge NIL deal and sway a player, but I feel like we might get left at the altar with this one.

Either way, Barnes had recruited a great class from the portal and I’m confident in our team with or without Lanier. If Lanier doesn’t come, Barnes will fill that gap somewhere either with current players or someone else in the portal

I just hope we have a nice backup plan just in case.

Christie, Poplar, or best available I guess..

Yeah that’s my mild concern, is that there seems to be no backup plan. Maybe there is no need for a backup plan, I mean right now he is only scheduled for a visit to Tennessee. So I guess we can worry when he schedules a visit to UK.

Dude no offense but you would probably believe the sky is yellow if you read it on X

Nah. It’s called 1+1=2

Someone reports something + someone else basically confirms it = the conclusion.

Hope this helped.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I absolutely want Lanier, but I felt we needed to land Igor & Felix more.

With Gainey, Mashack, Carr & Boswell I’m not as concerned at the 2 spot.

While also dismissing the things UT people report something + someone else basically confirms it. Lol

Yeah it’s truly 50/50.

The money will come from UK. The development/minutes will come from UT. It will come down to if he believes he can make the draft next year or not.

I will be concerned if we don’t land Lanier because it seems like we built a large portion of our off-season plan around landing him. If we don’t get him, we’ll have a lot of question marks at the 2/3 from a production standpoint.

Everyone hopes that Cam Carr is the real deal, but that’s expecting way too much. I wouldn’t be all to thrilled if our primary scoring options at the 2/3 were the group you listed above. Highly doubt Boswell is going to be ready to contribute.

Someone who reports second hand info and doesn’t name names from the supposed Tenn source while also being a huge Kentucky homer isn’t the cap you think it is…

Didn’t say it was a cap.

You’re trying too hard. Log off for the day.

Lanier doesn't come then Mashack, Gainey, and Carr better be on the Knecht gym shooting regimen. One of those guys would have to pop off for at least 10-12 points per game.

 

[VolGee4]

It’s public information.

Some reporters may be reporting accurate numbers, but NIL is not public. A company can pay an athlete and doesn’t have to reveal the numbers.

 

[cncchris33]

Coming from Brandon Ramsey on the KSR board. He received this text from someone who covers Tennessee.

“Hearing that Kentucky may have made Lanier & his family a NIL offer they can’t refuse”



If this is true, GO. GET. CAM. CHRISTIE

Unpopular opinion probably, but if I knew Christie was for sure dropping out of the draft, I'm not so certain I wouldn't prefer him over Lanier, to be honest.

Feels like a middle of the pack SEC team without Lanier.

I’m just yappin.

We have to actually go after Christie

 

[VolFreakJosh]

He’s crazy if he thinks Kentucky is a better option.

Yeah it’s money but you’re pretty much playing for a unproven coach who has a Shane Beamer personality.

 

[MinisterofDef#92]

Washington just bought the supposed top player in the portal, some guy from Utah State, for 1 year, $2 million, as reported by ESPN. Desperate to win: the new overarching motto of college FB and BB.

If only we could go back to 1920 when players weren't paid to play...lol.
