Basketball Gods, if you can hear me.....please give us some updates or something to actually talk about. That said, it seems like portal movement will considerably slow down until early entrants must withdrawal from the draft on June 16th.

On a basketball note, super happy for Nico. It seems like he has found a very good landing spot.

Maybe this link will work.

Edit: for some reason the Fears tweet with the video won't post even in the re-tweet from Boswell but if you click on the link it should take you to the video.

The reason is that a moron bought and then broke the platform.

I love Ty Rodgers, but I do find it hilarious that his highlights still only included layups/dunks, including two consecutive missed bunnies.

Price on Kasparas Jakucionis is about $1m right now.

If it goes much higher it could be a problem, but right now he's in Illinois' wheel house.

Pay it ( not my money)

 

[AirNeazy]

LOL. $196 billion net worth.

Being an old billionaire and a moron are not mutually exclusive. Especially when you pay 44 billion for a website, chase off all the advertisers (main source of net revenue) and proceed to lose 70+% of the companies value.

Crazy how when news first broke that Storr was asking for a million, it sounded like a stupid high price. And now it sounds like a million+ is the going rate for a starting / all conference type shooting guard.

Supply and demand, demand for top talent is still high and supply has dried up considerably.

Please lord or whatever you all believe in give us some ‘crootin news so we can stop posting numbers gifs every day

Anyone out there wanting to get in a bidding war for him? Or can we lock this up?

I don't think we can assume a guy that has never played college basketball is going to be an All Conference player. With scarcity, prices never go down. So guys that aren't as good, could very well end up with more money than better players that signed early. So are we going to see guys try to renegotiate?

lots of lessons to be learned from the first true free for all NIL offseason. Storr seems like a bargain now

How about we make him an offer that he can’t refuse?……

A strong a$$ offer, one could say

Yeah we all remember the days when Twitter was ran well…

Storr was asking for things other than just the 1 mil wasn't he?

 

[Bigtex]

still should have paid 1 million+ for 2nd team B1G - sure looks like Illinois is going to overpay for SG/CG/Wing
