It feels that way- he was crying after the game where they got into the Elite Eight- it felt like the farewell tour. The whole game has changed at this point and I would think some of the joy of it is gone.

If you have 6 million - I'd be thinking 4.5 for the starters. 1.2 1.1 800k 750k 650k next 5- 250 apiece 250 to split between deep bench

So let's really speculate for a moment- Let's say that the starting lineup became Asuma/ Evans/ Omot/ Crocker Johnson and Garcia (per the wild rumor) - and we land a good defensive big- that would be the core of a pretty decent team. Better than last year with a better offensive scheme?

It's the only train at the station. I'm on it! Come on Kyan!

The Ben offense was to dribble your way to get your own points and guys ended up throwing up a lot of bad shots. Patterson for example scored almost 12 points a game, but his shooting percentages were 36.8% FG and 26.4% on 3s while Asuma was at 43.7 and 35.7 respectively. He just didn't take bad...

You are probably right. It is certainly in the interest of agents to circulate rumors of a super high market rate. I think we are going to have to be patient and disciplined. Get 5-6 good ballplayers and mold them into a team rather than get caught fishing for one kid that wants a big number...

I would submit that Asuma just did not fit Ben's system at all. Asuma will be perfect for Niko, he is a pass first guard.

They are going places to get playing time, not money (or at least not much of it). The mid majors need to snap up these players quick. Cochran might take longer because he has some bigger suitors? Not sure.

Asuma, Kyan Evans and Amot would be a real nice start. When knows, maybe Grove has a great summer and is ready as well. We are going to have enough money to go big on a star or two and good money for our other starters.

We are going to have about 5 million to pay players because of revenue sharing + NIL. We have plenty of money and Niko will inspire more NIL than Ben did.

No to all of this. No reason not to compete right away. We have competitive money because of revenue sharing. You either load up with multi year guys or go to win right away with seniors. You do not play for 2026 by bringing in a bunch of one year rentals. That makes no sense. I fully expect...

I agree. I am concerned that there are some schools that will make promises now based on the expected outcome, while the U will not take that chance. The next week is going to be dicey until that decision comes out. I hope players that will seriously consider us can wait.

This is the first half hour of a poker game. Coach is going to look at each opportunity and see what works and fits. Manage the money. Don't panic and the players (like better hands in poker) will come. We are going to have a lot of money to spend as we see players that fit the system.

Good for him. I think Betts is going to be a solid player there. I wouldn't be surprised if he scores 10 a game next year.

Well said. That really has to be true when you are filling as many as 10 slots in the portal. The first 3-4 will get most of the dough but you have to figure out what the market is. It's going to be weird for a while because the promise of revenue sharing, while coming in a week with the final...

Bamas 3s came from another 3 feet out on the court against the Duke defense. Bad night for Nelson against the Duke big.

We are going to be in the top 50 for how much money we have to offer. If for example the top 50 are averaging 5 portal pickups, we should be shooting for players in the top 250 at worst. We are going to get some good players- one way or another.

Nearly 1/3 of all D1 college basketball players. Crazy.

Niko at least will be going fishing with about 4-5 million in bait. The Robert Morris coach is going out fishing with college scholarships to offer.

There is no reason why we can't be good in this upcoming year. Every year now stands on its own, even for most incumbent coaches. Once again- 4 of the sweet 16 coaches are new to their teams this year. This is an exciting month ahead!
