Logging back in-figured there would be meltdowns going on. There was a plan in case of this happening-that's the good news. Lots to still play out, we have a great sell and a ton of money. Not worried about landing a pg at all. Also there is legit smoke with both Yuri Collins and Reeves. Shannon/Hawkins still to decide soon as well.

And yes, this would be a very bad miss by Brad/staff. But we have a great staff and they will respond.

Love our insiders but a bit frustrating that they refuse to criticize Brad + Staff. Missing on RayJ would be a massive miss and a bit of an embarrassment, let’s call it how it is

When Brad was supposedly looking at jobs after our season ended, Insiders said in so many paraphrased words, "If that is how you are going to be, Don't let the door hit you in the keister on the way out." They are a little protective, but not blind or dumb IMHumbleO.

I'm a little protective of my friends and associates.

I’ve heard some say Yuri may be a better fit if TJ and Coleman return … And it’s hard to argue …

Seems like an enormous(and irrational) thought to think they both come back. If TSJ comes back, we can be decent with a good PG. If neither come back and we don't get RayJ....it's a rebuild. There will be plenty of minutes for the younger guys.

This seems like a Lville saying "he gawn" without actually saying "he gawn" type of post..

If so, on to the next.. 😔

No one that’s after him can compete with us NIL wise … That is a fact …

If he chooses someone else … That’s a big miss that ultimately falls on Brad …

Even if we will offer the most NIL money, he can still try to squeeze out more... I hope these merchants will have work ethics on and off the court...

I can’t imagine this is just a bidding war, we must have significantly bigger pockets than Utah. I’m wondering what exactly changed.

One thing I've kinda observed over the last few years from the outside looking in is that if the recruitment is full of drama, there's a good chance the tenure will be too. Give me the Every Day Guy, not the Every Dollar Guy (and to be clear, I have no problem with these kids maximizing their leverage and securing their financial future, but you get the point).

Big time pivot from what we were hearing this morning. When did the tide turn on this one?
