Crazy that he’ll only make $75K, though incentive potential of around $250K.
Sports is an interesting animal. You can be the best in the nation one year and then barely getting a job the next just due to your size.
Good for Frank though. I know he’ll make the most of it.
So to sum it up, we as a fan base are basically “yeah, we were bad and we’re gonna get spanked, even though everyone else should get spanked too. but we’re the middle kid … so … you know”
But we’re also like Lloyd with Ms. Samsonite … “you’re telling me there’s a chance!”
Watch him move his feet on defense. It’s a sight to see.
Good for this kid. I can’t blame him. I’m guessing Self and Co weren’t too surprised, but even if they were, that’s the biz. But if I were the kid I’d do the same thing. Would I let the coaches find out via ESPN, probably not. Not sure if that’s how Self found out. But overall, a good decision by the kid and his family.
Has anyone heard? Just thinking of what a nice 1-2 punch he and DeSousa could be while Doke is out.

F: Silvio, Holyfield
C: Doke, McCormack.
Get rekt, America.
Who’s Tucker? Unless he’s a 5 Star top 10-15 prospect, he ain’t hopping over Agbaji.
Rayjon Tucker, a grad transfer from Little Rock. He was head and shoulders better than Ochai last year. I’d actually think about starting them both if we miss on Hampton or Dotson doesn’t come back.
Ah, got it, didn’t realize he was a grad transfer. Yeah, that could justify it.

Seriously, who’s left? Are we sure Udoka is returning? Agbagi? Are we looking at a starting lineup of Dok, Mitch/McCormick, Agbagi, Dotson, and…who am I forgetting? Obviously she incoming freshman, but with a significant impact? Are these kids (Grimes, Lawson) leaving because Self has dudes coming in?
We gotta remember the role of the kids’ parents in this thing. They have brains and consciences too. They’re putting their kids’ eligibility at risk by playing the game. Sure, all parties involved are complicit, but we always let the parents off the hook. They could just end it by sending their kids to wherever they think is best for them and letting the coaches and shoe companies know. Not saying it would be easy, but neither is recruiting.
