Gonna have to pay a lot of money to buy a squad. Maybe they can get Cochran to come back, hope the big center Parker Jefferson is the real deal (has been putting up big numbers), Asuma matures into a good point guard and they go out and get a stud wing and shot blocking center in the portal along with a couple of sniper guards from long range.

Hopium is strong on this. They will almost certainly be worse without Garcia and next year will be a death march not even the local media brigade can prevent.

I can't say I'm all that excited about next year's recruits but yeah that big guy is intriguing.

Missouri did it.

I just watched a bunch of film of him. He has a lot of Garcia in him. Has a sweet shot, is athletic, catches in traffic and sees the floor - good passer. He isn't a shot blocker at this level so having a big who can defend next to him would be key. I can see how they likely used Garcia's success as a model to recruit him.

And if they do, so what? Caleb Grill was at Iowa State and now helping Missouri. We see Texas with a top 10 (probably) NBA pick hanging by a thread to even make the tourney. Coach will be on hot seat. This is the current state. Turnarounds can happen quick.

I'd be making a call to Pharrell Payne to see if a new offer would work to bring him back home. Interesting in a lot of ways that he and Hawkins are both starting on top 20 squads...

Even if we can match the $$, which we likely can't, I don't think he's Ben's biggest fan.

Right, there's enough smoke here to know the three MN guys were unhappy and left for reasons besides only NIL. Payne is the only one worthy of any $$ anyway. For all the NIL talk and dismantling last year's team, the only true NIL loss was Hawkins, which was a shocker when it happened. But even until then, they had him locked up and happy enough to return.

NIL is such a lazy excuse. It's a problem, but it isn't the reason why Johnson is a bad coach and needs to go. In fact he is part of the NIL problem with his lame persona and 22-55 record.

Going back further, it was clear Johnson was not qualified for this job when he was hired. But maybe you get lucky. We didn't. He hasn't given one hint that he can be the answer, but he's made millions while we let him try.
