Oscar is special no doubt about it, that list of accomplishments says it all!

Most of the prognosticators are saying, if UK can get Oscar's NIL squared away, he'll return next year!

So happy for him. As hard as he worked every game he more than deserved it.

I've just realized what we need to win #9 next year. If we can get Oscar back again and then find 4 more kids that can do their job without any coaching we will have it made. Guarantee a championship. [Big Grin]

NIL = Name Image Likeness.

College kids can now get paid for anything with their Name, Image, or Likeness. So they can sell a t-shirt with the name on it or jerseys as an example, they can also appear in TV ads etc I believe.

It is not out of the realm of possibility that Oscar would make more next year playing for Kentucky then he could on the first year of a NBA contract.
