Ooh, Louisville would be amazing.

But if BU decides he still wants to be somewhere else next offseason and John Calipari is available, Josh Whitman should back up the dang Brinks truck and all of this board's reasons against that are wrong and bad.

A coyote was spotted waiting patiently outside the State Farm Center today. What does it mean? What does it mean?

Are we pursuing someone from the UTSA Road Runners? Are we snagging a point guard from the Cal San Bernardino Yotes? Is it Jeff Van Gundy’s spirit animal?

This must mean something!!!

Looks more like a Tasmanian Tiger to me…

We won’t have the $$ for him if things go to plan …
Tyger and the LSU big to round things out? I'm completely guessing here, but lots of NIL $$$ will need to go to TSJ and ColeHawk. Then a chunk to Tyger, which leaves very little, I'd think. So give that to the LSU dude to back up Dain for a year or two and hope he grows into the starting role. *shrug*

Dip your nuggets in my staff source sauce.
So landing RayJ would most likely eliminate the possibility of Tyger, right? 4 total transfers, so 2 remaining and we obviously need to add another big still. Is Tyger plan A, and if not attainable we take RayJ or just acting on RayJ now so we don’t end up empty handed having neither of them?
Give me RayJ Dennis over Tyger. Both would be preferable.

personally for me its height and more efficient from the floor.

Height I get … It’s the first thing everyone has always said …

It’s not as big of a deal to Brad because of how big we are at every other position … Every guy on the floor with him would be 6’7 or taller and long … And he grades out as a decent defender … Better than Epps …

Efficiency from the floor is also understandable … But we need him to do 2 things … Set the table and make layups and floaters … He’s elite at both of those things … And he’s better at setting the table than RayJ … IMO … We’ve got alphas … We need a leader of the pack who’s more of a CEO …

Why don't they think they need defense-warping catch-and-shoot threats?
