I think Max Olsen was fed a line of BS by Minchey and UK to help them save face.

Remember, Minchey went in with a Do Not Contact. He has already agreed with Nebraska's pitch. And he agreed to Nebraska's compensation. He very clearly got offered a bunch more money by UK and he switched his commitment. Which is fine.

The idea that all of that pre-work went down, he publicly commits on ESPN...and then Kentucky calls and says "we'll give you the same amount of money" and he switches instantaneously inside of 24 hrs......yeah, that doesn't hold water.

No f'n way I believe that.

UK is just trying to save face. And they're also try to dig at Nebraska.
UK isn't trying to save face imo, Minchey's people may be. It feels like a line fed by his agent to the media not UK. Also we were trying to thread the needle by not promising him the starting job and making it a QB competition with Lateef whereas UK is giving him the job.

You can also be in do not contact and still be in contact with multiple schools. Maybe he really wanted Kentucky all along but Kentucky told him no we have to try this first. But if it fails we’ll call

I guess.

But Minchey was the 9th rated QB in the portal - why on earth would he even consider a 50-50 QB competition offer? That is such malpractice by their agent that it's almost hard to believe.

To put it in perspective, the top 25 QBs are probably all going into guaranteed starter opportunities (that's the whole reason you go into the portal in the first place).

If you're #9....and you've sat the bench for 3 yrs....you're going to a guaranteed starter role. I find it hard to believe they'd be that dumb to even consider it in the first place.
