Milan Momcilovic commits to Kentucky

What happened to Matt and Wayne? Are they still with ISU, or were they shown the door?
I think Matt was bag man for St. Johns last season, they canned him for rumored dipping into the till according to a quick reddit turn up on google. No idea about Morgan.

Ok, but he had the 4th most attempts in all of college basketball last year. 2nd most at the high major level. Only Honor Huff of West Virginia had more at the high major level.
And yet, his percentages indicate he could have shot more. Or that our offense should have been designed to get him the ball more rather than having guys dribbling into the heart of the defense,

Does Milan get another year (potentially) after this coming up season? In theory, he could re-sign for another $6 million which would dwarf NBA salaries for his pick slot. I wasn’t sure what the new 5 for 5 rule was in relation to MM.

This is his true senior year so he'll get another year. We'll see if Kentucky wants to give him that much again after this year.
 
10 yrs ago, Milan makes $0 in college, doesn't make the NBA, and is playing in Spain for $400k.

Now?

He'll play 5 years in college, make $14m+, still not make the NBA, and if pro bball in Europe doesn't work out, he's 23 with ~$8m in his bank account.

Man, I am sorry, but there is no way Milan is worth the second highest NIL in the country. I would say his value was 3rd just on our team last season!
Timing truly is everything (or a lot anyway) in life. Look at Lipsey, but not getting grandfathered in (I think the class of 2022 got screwed), he's probably leaving $2 million on the table. It seems a long shot for him to make a NBA roster and he would get paid handsomely as a college 5th year. Really surprised there haven't been law suits abound surrounding that.

I would agree. He was incredibly valuable to us, but not worth getting an NIL payout to is equivalent to our entire roster. TJ made the right move by getting 4 new players that will play serious minutes vs trying hold onto Milan.

Is an outside sharp shooter worth that? He's not even a reliable "end of game" go to guy... he couldn't get open.

He was a great player for us, and a great guy from everything I've ever heard... I'm just saying he's probably not even worth 3 million imo.

That's what is so wild and why I can't blame these players (as NBA money used to be difficult to get, but making $300-400k was nice for a post college start to life....or career....8-10 years of that and you have a very good life).

This pendulum will likely go back a bit and someone like Milan probably a bit of an anomaly...but dang, even a big payout to Kentucky next year likely a decent move
