Don't get me wrong, I think both Khalifa and Waterman are great, but I assume both would rather go to Kentucky if the opportunity were there (continue playing for Pope and the NIL money is certainly there), but apparently Kentucky decided not to pull them in. Meanwhile Louisville, a significant rival, and although not Kentucky, definitely not shabby (3 national championships--I know, one vacated--8 final fours, 28 sweet sixteens) is putting up the dough to pull these players that Kentucky, and their former coach passed on?
