I wonder how much time and money could save by literally not recruiting high schoolers. Why not go all in unless they’re a big name local recruit. Put it towards NIL instead…

As ARod put it in an interview the other day, “We were told to stop. Guys like that don’t come here”. Later that week we were hiring our new GM that engineered a contender. Never say never. That’s how we get where we are.

This guy is even better!

Gotta start out hot and beat UNC/Iowa at home!

Exactly. Those were the unknowns who played well enough. We are starting with an All-B1G player in Dawson and hoping to add guys like Battle and Peyton.

And all that extra exertion/exposure in the NCAA tournament must have been terrible for him. He’ll probably be given the reigns next year at MSU.

Dawson Garcia is the difference, but of course we aren’t probably going to have a player of his caliber very often with this model. Have to take advantage of it and hope someone else (or 3) blow up!

They need to hire Fox to run the NIL department!

Speak for yourself Iowa! ;-)

Hey I remember him smoking our guys hitting turnaround fadeaways ala Kobe. Ok, he certainly won’t be taking 20+ shots like he was there, but I’ll still take him. I thought for sure he’d go to the Skunks based on some info about where he grew up. Happy to be wrong!

This often works in a player’s favor vs a bad situation. Will be rooting for him.

Funny how you now think we need to be happy that they’re leaving. No, I’m pissed too. But the holier than thou act about money gets old.

You guys act like most of these players have the rest of their lives to make this kind of money. This might be their ONLY chance after all the time they put in to cash in. You just have your panties in a bunch because it’s not favoring your home team.

And Drake my Freshman year was a 5 on the buzzer beater to Western Kentucky. Oof da.

You are correct! I always forget about them. The only weirder thing is 5 seed has never won it all. No wonder those dang 12s always feel like they have a chance.

I believe someone previously mentioned it, but giving it to the end of April is more than fair given the negotiations have also changed in regards to NIL. That being said, it’s a good point.

Hey just need to be a Top 7 seed to have a chance to win the tourney historically speaking!

Yes it is assumed that is the case. Avila entered the portal with an exclamation point, indicating do not contact. His mind is already made up.

He went into the portal with an exclamation point, which indicates do not contact. He’s going to St Louis 99% sure.

I don’t think any of us expect Ihnen to be a “high contributor” to our team next season. If he’s playing a ton of minutes I would assume that would be a bad sign. Then again I definitely didn’t expect the season that Fox had going into this year. Ultimately I think it’s more than ok to have...
