Aaron Bradshaw and Nick Dorn are just bad basketball players. What are we even talking about here 

Talking about guys who provide better depth than what we currently have on the roster obviously. You comfortable with Sherrell and Samet playing 30+ mpg night after night? Or Sisley and Manhertz guarding 6'10 250 lbs bigs in the B10 when one of those guys inevitably gets hurt? Who is a better shooter than Dorn on next years team? Maybe Bryce Lindsay?

If Monden cost 250k could we have kept Jasai Miles lol

Not interested in Bradshaw. Wang's teammate Fuchs would've been interesting for the front court though. I'm sure too expensive for us after signing 6 guys. Just signed with Clemson. Would've been competition for Sisley. Still hoping for a pleasant surprise with the last spot.

The same Aaron Bradshaw that has been transferring down a level every year thus far?! UK fans despised his lack of motor/hands. Seems that his transfer journey supports that

Yes, the same Aaron Bradshaw who fills the 16-18 mpg big man role off the bench that next years team currently lacks.

What if the player doesn’t want the role of 16-18 min off the bench.   Kid is going to be a stud in the OVC and is going to play a heck of lot more minutes then 16-18 a game being a 3rd big off the bench.

Our recruiting pitch: "Hey Aaron; we've got a super-duper-hot idea! You've been the third big off of the bench for three straight years. IU wants you! ... to be our third big off of the bench."

Did you forget the part of the pitch where IU would be offering him 7 figures? As opposed to the $50-60k (maybe) he’s getting at Tennessee State?

He’ll play 25-26 tops if his body allows it.

Oh, and he's not very good at basketball. Especially if it would have cost more than $500k to get him to IU. Seems like a nice enough kid though.

He’s exponentially more equipped to guard opposing bigs than any combination of Sisley, Manhertz, or Sokolov. Which is what you’re looking at if Samet or Sherrell get hurt.

Maybe.  I can’t see the future so I don’t know what he will play for Tenn St during the season.  I can guess Nolan brought him in to be a big piece to repeat as OVC champs so he will play meaningful starter minutes instead of a the 3rd big for a power 5 team

Maybe? Did we offer him? Is being a key piece at Tennessee State better than making ridiculous money at Indiana?

Truth is he’s played three straight years for power 5 schools with underwhelming minutes and value.  Not a shock that he might want to go out being a more focal point for a year.

So we’re definitely either 1) completely out of money, or 2) saving everything we have left to make one last good addition.  
 

Also, I wonder if zero NIL is really zero. Surely there are camps and small team NIL  events that pay a little.

Bradshaw was never short on talent, his problem was between his ears. 

As far as our money, I think with one position to fill, if we do, money could be gotten for a starting big wing that averaged 16.9 ppg and was the best 3pt shooter in the country. 

Other than that I don't know who else is left.
