It’s been a rough offseason for Kentucky Basketball in terms of roster defections and transfer portal misses.
A big part of that has allegedly been John Calipari not fully embracing NIL, which you can read more about here.
Thankfully, it sounds like this challenging offseason is leading to change for Calipari.
According to KSR’s Matt Jones, Calipari is starting to embrace NIL in a more effective way, including the use of a collective.
Hearing Calipari has modified his NIL stance slightly
Some money has been raised from some outside sources and will be used for a Collective-like entity that may not be called a Collective
A very good development in my mind— Matt Jones (@KySportsRadio) June 13, 2023I will give some more details tomorrow on show but I am told events of this summer have changed Calipari’s mind slightly and this “non-collective Collective” may pay dividends in next 48 hours
— Matt Jones (@KySportsRadio) June 13, 2023The collective is a big step, as it’s something Calipari has publicly admitted he’s not a fan of.
