If we land both Watkins and Mike then it’s just as good as landing Egor IMO

Lol if Ty somehow become a decent 3 point shooter we wouldn't need a star wing from the portal.

Well at least Sharavjamts is a good passer. We should always be loading up on playmaking wings.

Yep, and until we get that mega backer it's going to be like this every year. Getting good pieces but just missing that final big piece that puts it all completely together. We'll have some good teams that make the tourney consistently, but it's gonna take that huge backer for us to go above and...

Do we not have Shad Khan or an alumni with mega deep pockets backing us? Might as well get him his honorary degree he wanted so we don’t leave that bridge burned. I mean, Arkansas has Tyson, Houston has Fertita, etc. we need a mega backer…that’s pretty much what it comes down to now. Otherwise...

I just don’t want to see some spin a couple months down the line on why Ty Rodgers is going to be our star wing and why we didn’t need Egor anyway (I love Ty I’m just using him as an example here). Let’s still go get ourselves a solid wing and call it a squad.

Hard to also replace Domask and Hawkins though. Their skillsets were super valuable too

So what type of team are we looking at right now? About a 6 seed or so?

I don’t know why but this one stings a bit more than RayJ Dennis.

Sounds like we still don’t have enough money then. Someone get Shad Khan on board.

So basically the longer you wait in the recruiting game for top targets the higher the price

Of course we miss out on Egor. And possibly to BYU? Seriously? BYU? Embarrassing.

If he comes here he gets to be a point guard or point forward type, likely the primary playmaker, and have guys like Humrichous, Ivisic, and Boswell to throw it to who can all knock it down from three. He can run nice pick and rolls or pick and pops with our two bigs and his scoring and assist...

Isn’t this the same guy who said DJ Wagner was coming here or something? Doesn’t seem like a trustworthy source
