If all Hel doesn't break loose in conference tourney week and we make the tourney, Do we land all 3?

Let me simplify it for those of you crying about NIL.

NIL is the reason Garrison chose UK over texas and Arkansas.
NIL is NOT the reason Garrison avoided OU like the plague.

What?? If OU's program is soooo bad and our coach is the reason for that. Why in TF would ANY of those 3 have even visited OU?? Some of you go out of your way to look ridiculous.

The kid literally lives in our backyard. He's from the area. A "visit" to OU is no skin off his teeth.

Any of what three? The three that committed? LOL, did you see what other schools were after them?
 
I don't think Sooner fans know how bad this team is going to be. Porter had his chance to improve this team and couldn't. Hope Joe C's looking for a coach next year.

Pay attention. THe "three" being (Pedulla, Overton and BG). The three local kids.

You all are going to believe what you want, so we can all just agree to disagree.

OU had how many weeks of a head start on UK? If it was just about the bag, OU would never have been in the conversation. Garrison didn't know what the UK bag was a week ago. Or two weeks ago. Or three weeks ago. And he still chose not to commit to OU at that time.

Both things can be true. It can be true he is probably at UK partially because of the money. It was can also be true that it was WAY more than the money that kept him away from OU.

While I'm certainly not defending Moser, being 0-3 for in-state kids is a horrible look.....there's no true safety net with Pope, if you will. Pope hasn't won chit in college basketball. He's stacked up wins in the WCC (BYU) and at Utah Valley, mostly. Which is similar to Moser at Loyola, right? Except Moser has actual tournament success. Pope's coached one year in a power conference. Zero tourney wins. Without looking, so if I'm wrong call me out, he's developed zero BIGS into NBA players (as a HC).

Just because he now has the UK logo on his chest, it doesn't guarantee any success or development. It could very well be repackaged mediocrity.

We all know by now that Garrison has a young kid. People close to him even said things like, "he'll probably stay close to home". In the 11th hour, he chooses a school with an average HC, nothing that points to great development, a school he didn't visit, and a school that isn't close to home.

Yeah, Kentucky made a money move. An Alvin Brooks special. It is what it is. JMO.

LOL at "pay attention". I wasn't discussing those guys, but the answer is the same. You have guys that literally grew up in our backyard. A visit is easy.

I'll add, all three visited and for the most part quickly got the heck out of Dodge and never looked back.

So why wasn't it money when OU fans thought he was coming to OU and not Texas? Or maybe not Arkansas? Or not osu when they were rumored to have offered him every bit of what OU was rumored to have offered?

I know UK has deep pockets, but are they really paying their 2nd or 3rd string Center that much more than what OU offered? You can SPECULATE that they can, or are, but it's just that, speculation.

Everybody knew Garrison wanted to get paid, but they also said he wanted to win games. They said she wanted to stay close to home. Maybe, JUST MAYBE, this board has a lot of people that like to present opinions and rumors as fact.

Regardless of the money, UK offers a lot of the other things that Garrison was rumored to be wanting. If he wants to win, I don't blame him at all for not coming to OU. If he wants to spend the next 2-3 years at the same place and not be Portaling against next year, I don't blame him at all for not coming to OU, since he'd likely be getting a new coach after next season.

It's not always this or that. It's not always as black and white as a bunch of you NIL-whiners want to make it out to be. Like I said earlier, Garrison had no idea UK was going to get involved with him until recently. There is a reason OU and osu got first crack, and the kid was still actively looking around. Was the texas NIL not enough? The Arkansas NIL not enough? Kid was clairvoyant enough to know UK would get involved late and increase the offer?
