    Kind of how I see it. How about UCLA?

    Feel like Indiana is the only school who arguably has a better recruit class than us right now. But do you trust Woodan? Purdue will be good but they lost Edey. I feel like it's hard to predict B1G ranking preseason given the expansion, new coaches, and the departures of top players. I think we...

    If they are correct, we are a little bit stuck right now. It's either overpaying for lesser players or pray we are lucky enough to pick up a fringe NBA guy after the combine.

    Kinda like the current housing market you have to over bid, by a lot. So, you either find a cheaper house or really over bid everybody else. Egor, IMO, is not worth overbidding that much. Storr might have been but he has his own risk, too. I think the thing with NIL is although it's somebody...

    Or since he costs +$1M, we might as well add two guys given the NIL available. I do hope Egor comes to US to see if he is worth $2M. Nobody is worth that much for a single-year player IMO unless he is like Carmelo Anthony.

    Not going to worry about our offense. (If our offense sucks, we suck.) Worry about our defense next season a bit.

    So it's more of an enrollment/eligibility issue rather than visa, right? You will have a student visa if you are enrolled as a student.

    He specifically referred to packaging Tre/Booth in exchanging a top tier player. I think the confusion (if I may say) comes from the fact that we have not gotten Egor/Richmond. With either one of them in the fold, I think Tre and Booth are perfect complimentary pieces with more upside in their...

    I am with you but does the math work? We simply don't know. Also Tre and Carey are multi-year players so maybe they will be top tier next year?

    Who is the lead recruiter for Ivisic? OA or Geoff?

    Yep. I can't image them going to classes more than a year or two (max). Still kind of rental at this point.

    Sounds like a one year rental that is mutually beneficial.

    This may be a dumb question but are these European guys coming to college because we pay more or just simply for exposure to NBA?
