It’s in regards to a mock draft.

That's the way it probably is meant to be,  but I'm gonna read it as "Things are looking good here, AT IU for JHS. lol

[Dave from Dayton]

JHS #13 and TJD #30 in the mock draft is how I read it.  Probably not a tough call for JHS.  Prospective contract for JHS might be in the range of just under $4 million in the first year alone plus benefits and marketing rights. For TJD it might be $2 million plus...

Makes my final salary as a Chief of Engineering and Planning at an airport system look kind of paltry.  Starting a GoFundMe...

I love this and IU fans. I just had this convo with a friend. I said he could be a lottery pick and make 4 million a year for the next 3 years. He said so do you think he might come back then?

I have no inside information on any of the players or coaches.  I do not have enough information to really speculate what would motivate JHS to go or to stay.  

Having said that, I believe that he most likely will go pro.  Possibly, in part, because he has only been at IU for one year.  That and the risks.  I say that $4 million in the hand is worth $4 million.  And it is a multi-year contract...so really in 3 years (increasing year to year)...that is a lot of money....in hand.

I'm just kind of active searching different sites online.  Google is my friend. Found a site that had last year NBA draftee base contract amounts.

I really should have stayed in basketball and made that kind of money.  Well, except for 3 or 4 reasons: Lack of talent; lack of athleticism; lack of size; lack of...well, you know).  But I did grow up in Indiana with a basketball hoop in the alley behind our garage and was out there quite a lot.  I remember way back in the old Fieldhouse, George McGinnis looked up to me.   I was in the 25 row.  He looked down on me too.  When seated on the folding chairs on the sawdust floor.

We got two lefty big men in the post again, I love it.

For our roster I know we won't be able to replace TJD and JHS production through the portal. What we need is that XJ and Reneau to be able to push their production up a level or two. In the portal what we need to do is to upgrade over starters from last year in Race, Kopp and Galloway. If we can do that I think we can be a very competitive team next year.

If a kid doesn't take 4 million, they probably don't belong in college in the first place.

I think Galloway has improved and will continue to improve.  He could give us 10-12 points per game.  That would be an upgrade for him!

that's why i said "again"

[Trish]

I’ve talked to several NBA scouts and they all expect JHS to go in the lottery. 
 

He would be silly to stay another year.

Sorry, seems like a big difference between again and agin, lol!  I didn’t recognize that foreign word.  Was that German or Spanish?

Almost like IU fans are a little behind the times or having difficulty seeing withe their crimson colored contacts through their crimson colored glasses. We'll get there... eventually
