We were told by the futurists in the 1980s that we needed to be ready to use our vast leisure time well because we were all going to be rich with the efficiency building into the economy. Amazingly I’m not having a difficult time using my leisure time but it there doesn’t appear to be vast...
We need Niko to do more than a slightly better job than CBJ in getting impactful transfers. I think he has a much better chance with a little money and a track record of running a program.
Niko has a good track record of identifying players who have potential and can be developed. That should be trusted. Where EG is probably coming from is the need to have players ready to play Big Ten professional basketball on day one. So far the portal hasn’t delivered any plug and play...
Niko has had great success tapping into D 2 players. I’m getting old and repeating myself but shooters are always welcome!
Of course, the backstory of how in the world D1 could have missed on the guy will be interesting to hear. He certainly is big enough. Late bloomer?
Great story. I’m sure there are more of them we don’t hear about.
I’m trying to imagine the day when turning down a million two for only eight hundred thousand is reported as great sacrifice.
