What I’d love to hear is Carr comparing this job to the Pacers’ job. This is miles harder. Schools that didn’t go out and find a Dude for that role, hello Mark Pope, are getting slaughtered and it’s going to get nothing but worse.

Ya know, when a kid blows right on by the Animal House, “7 years of college down the drain” joke just say you win,Dude and let him be LeBron and play in college with his kid.

Yeah, that wasn’t phrased great.

Ok, no one is gonna care about this one but me. Pearson went to HS about 10 mins from me. Pulled the Race Thompson and classed up to redshirt. Fully 6’11” and can really run and change directions. Springy and quick off the floor. Flashes everything you want. The question there was whether he’d ever get strong enough and I’d be curious to assess where he is physically because he could be a serious long term buy low steal for someone.

Somebody is gonna write a big check and whoever does it better have a really good, really assertive PG who understands where not to give the kid the ball.

Will be interested to follow what happens next with him. His original recruitment was pretty curious. He had all these great offers but then he’d visit and they’d bail out. Heard a couple times that dad’s a hand-full. Beard seemed like a really curious choice for him along the lines of RMK/Funderburke. But really talented stretch 4’s aren’t the most common animals and someone’s probably going to talk themselves into him as buy low option. And, hey, if the kid has learned a little something in the last year it’s probably defensible as long as everyone’s expectations are aligned.

Could be an interesting 3rd big if he can get a waiver. Played 1 year at a JC. Didn’t start last year at Arkansas but played a lot.

Ok, so this revenue would at least theoretically be closely held by the schools/Leagues and not factored into the athletes’ pool, correct? So, and like it’s not almost comically the case already, P4 schools, and particularly the top of the food chain P4 schools, are just gonna swamp everyone else in resources and facilities and every other damned thing, that about it? Basically another step towards a P2 conference structure with about 30 Taj Mahal programs and everyone else is just along for the ride. Great

Ok, can someone please explain to stupid guy what this means. I thought associated entities were any outside revenue streams available to the program, be it shoe companies or, ya know, Waffle House. Why would these be different?

Imagine he’ll get it given the emotional element that he almost died combined with the precedent that was set with Tyron Grant-Foster. But the thing is that despite looking like a computer designed 5 he’s just not a very good player. Read somewhere that his sister was in the portal and is going to Mich St. Frankly, if he ends up there that would be fine with me. He’s not gonna improve them.

Will be a nice get for someone. Big, strong kid with some present skill and 3 years of eligibility.

Stronga$$ offers ain’t what they used to be.

Gonna go out on a limb and guess it was actually Indiana St.

Agree. Assume at this point it probably won’t be Olsen specifically but now that you have a Burton who really likes to get in the lane and distort defenses, a Mustaf who’s primarily a straight line diver who needs lanes and Yigitoglu who’s primarily a roll man and finisher a floor spacing 4 would be a really, really useful piece to add. Side note: Have already become tired of trying to remember and then type our new C’s name. It’s not sticking at all. Not even close. So going forward he’s The Turk. That’s what I’m going with. That I’ll remember,

Given the roster as it stands now I’d be pretty surprised if this one’s a thing.

College money is now officially ridiculously out of hand if a kid whose floor in the draft is no worse than late lottery would even consider going back to school. Don’t care if there’s a good developmental argument for a kid like Ament to stay in school, and there is, it should be a complete financial nonstarter. The 12th pick in last year’s draft signed for 4/25.

Here’s our boy diving for a 50/50 ball during a travel ball game in April. Follows that up with chasing down a loose ball and just casually burying a corner 3. If that doesn’t do a little something for you not sure what will.

100%. And not second week because you finished 8th in the conference and eked into Dayton and then upset a couple of teams. 2nd week because you were solid all year and were a 4/5 kind of seed at least.

1 of the early portal kids I wanted to see the staff in on.

The 4th leading scorer on the 11th place team in the Big 12 did pretty well for himself. We’ll see what Loucks does with him.

As backup 5 options go that would be a fairly stunning get.

Today’s Mullins’ 20th birthday. I’m sure this came up around here during his recruitment but I’d forgotten that he’s notably old for his class. Imagine it’s a good decision both developmentally and from a depth of talent pool perspective to stay another year but there’s also some risk given how the League looks at prospects once they turn 21.

He played 3 years for Izzo, right? How could he possibly have eligibility?
