I say things online sometimes.







A few clarifying thoughts on the Donnie Freeman situation that I think many people are missing or looking at the wrong way... 1) This isn't REALLY about Donnie Freeman...it is about a guy that Coach Pope and the staff CLEARLY identified and wanted. At Kentucky you are expected to close on guys you WANT more often than not. 2) This isn't REALLY about the money...nobody is "WORTH" the money they are getting. However, you have to overpay for guys you really want sometimes. You have to be willing to overpay for the guys that you think move the needle. Your evaluation might be wrong, but that is a different issue. SPEND ON STARS. If you think Donnie Freeman can be one of your three best players (I think he can be too) then, at Kentucky, the price should be somewhat irrelevant. 3) If Kentucky misses on Freeman it DOES NOT MEAN they should have taken Rancik. I'll defend that to the grave. Taking the "bird in the hand" is how we got to where we were the last two seasons. I'm ready to swing for the fences and willing to fall flat if they whiff. Again, the evaluation of Freeman can be wrong, but if that is the guy you wanted then I'm ALL FOR letting Rancik walk even if it means risking not getting either. 4) The portal giveth and the portal taketh away. Things can change in an INSTANT due to $$$. We've seen the winds change in this recruitment before...it can happen again. Also, even if Freeman commits elsewhere and it gets RIGHTFULLY critiqued from Kentucky's side, things could end up working out even for the better because that is just how things happen. You can be critical in the short term while still waiting to judge the end result. 5) None of us know what the conversations are like inside of the closing room so it is very hard and even somewhat unfair to sit here and cast stones. However, from the outside looking in, I really think that you have to find a way to get the money and give him what it takes to sign on the dotted line TODAY.



🚨 NEW: Fox News’ @TomiLahren issues a WARNING about Democrats: “Beware of the ones who market themselves as ‘moderates’ because they are often the least moderate of the bunch.” “Andy Beshear is going to be someone who the left thinks as their new Joe Biden. He’s the ‘moderate guy’ - but he’s anything but. Trust me, don’t let them fool you. They don’t have to be screaming at the top of their lungs like Spartacus to be a radical.”
