I'm very confused!

Its called the battle of the insiders. Its only played once every 6 or 7 years so enjoy!

He is gonna want Rodgers, Dain & Hansberry traded for Hunter Dickinson... you still want lebron?

I would take Lebron and 4 random people from this Board lol.

 

[ChiefIllinois]

any chance this mystery grad transfer isn’t Yuri Collins? I’m not 100% opposed, was just hoping for someone better.

RayJ is likely going to Utah. Have zero idea what he's thinking there, just an awful decision for both business and basketball reasons. The staff has contacted a grad transfer and I expect things to pick up their pretty quickly. Still feeling good about Shannon and they are still talking to Hawkins

This is why you don't let kids take multiple visits just to "enjoy a free vacation". Always Be Closing.

P.S. Thanks Lville for the inside info

He was just commenting on what the Baylor staff thinks. Doesn't mean they know what's happening either because apparently nobody does.

Is Brad and Co as confused as the rest of us over this Utah decision? Feels so weird lol.

Probably best.....if we threw more NIL $$$ at RJ than anyone else...give him the keys to run the offense....and he still doesn't want to come, then we could be looking at another JE or Sky situation if he were to come here.....move onto plan B and bring someone here that wants to be here for the right reasons

Bingo … I’m not saying they’re right or wrong … I don’t think anyone truly knows …

But if I had to put in a prediction … Utah … As soon as today …

I wonder how much $ he's turning down to go play in... Utah.

I’ve heard in the neighborhood of $300,000 difference between Utah offer and our offer …

 

[Rich]

Bummer, thanks for the update

Is this more or less than what we offered?

Why transfer from Toledo only to end up at Utah? Is it really that much of a step up?

Updated the post …

We will be fine.

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

If you going to Utah, why transfer from Toledo to begin with? Is it really that much of a step up?

RayJ thinks being the alpha on a mid Pac 12 team will help his draft stock … Because so many NBA GMs are tuned in to 11 PM tip for Utah vs Oregon State …

Being serious … There is no logical reason for him to pick Utah … I have no idea what he’s thinking …

Turning down $300,000+ …

I thought Kofi’s advisors were bad … This might be worse …

To be fair, Podz is the counterpoint to this argument. Time zone and all.

 

[TheGreatDebate]

If plan a isn't going to happen, any idea when we might hear on plan b?
