Apparently the top guys last year were getting $600-700K.

Davis is supposedly getting up to $1.3M, which would more than double an NBA 2-way deal he was projected to receive.

now you wonder who we are? who we’ve become? there was no choice, for you vanquished our souls…all that was left…was darkness.

The reign of Darkansas HAS BEGUN!

Should we be surprised Cal is getting talent?

Is Davis the top portal player? I thought that was Omar Ballo Arizona Center, who chose Indiana. Reports that Ballo got in the 1-1.3 million range. Rumors Indiana spent 4 million on their portal class this season.

Cal's always gotten talent. I guess Arkansas isn't used to that. Cal was getting shown the door because he wasn't doing enough with that talent.

Probably top remaining portal guy.

Either way, he’s a difference maker for Calipari to build around.

This is true.


Paying $1.3M for a 6 month player in college sports. I hate how this NIL has become the wild west.

Well, Jerry Jones said he would pay whatever for former UK players and other talent, so it's happening.

That's a lot of money to pay just to get bounced in the first round of the tourney to a double digit seed.

using the portal to create your team, is not a winning formula, using the portal to finish off your team can be a winner

When he was hired we had 0 scholarship players. 1 returning walk on who held down the fort.

He had no other option.

Is the guy really worth that? What type of returns are people seeing on these portal players?

Kentucky lost doners because of the on court performance. I suspect that happens everywhere. Done fatigue has to be real.
