I disagree strongly if you legit prefer 2 options or just 1 Watkins. Give Watkins the rest of NIL if that's what it takes to bring him. I suspect its not actually about money and more than Watkins is not interested in Illinois so those other options are realistic

sounds like we got priced out

Definitely a good possibility of this being the case

Won't it cost potentially millions to keep a good player beyond one-year though?

well if its just ok, I'll be underwhelmed. expectation should be to be atop B10 and top 25 nationally year in and year out with a top 10 year every few years

Is Denim our top target over other wings (like Kadary Richardson) in the portal who have more proven production at the college level?

Yes we have confirmation we are pursuing him, but it is unlikely he will be coming overseas to play before he goes NBA

I agree that Egor Denim is a great player, I just don’t think it’s that likely we will get him

and the Euro wing is far less likely than it is likely to happen at this point still.

Chester is cooking more than Underwood

The way people have talked on here previously has been that we have such strong NIL and we were gonna bring in a bunch of rockstars that there would be no playing time for role players. Now its shifted to "we're spending our limited amount of money smartly going the Euro route". Just a funny...

Is Jones portaling?

Supposedly Jones is less likely to portal at all now. Things are going well!!

how is that get old stay old

Still odd to lose 11/13 players, bench players or not
