Kansas State is currently 7-11, have lost 9 of 10 and 6 straight, have 1 win against a high-major team, and very well may be the worst team in the B12.... you certainly got to wonder...

Indy/LVille/0440 have said we do not have KJ or Ivisic if $2M is spent on CH.

Boswell
DGL
White
Hawkins
Johnson

Humrichous, Davis, Booth

As much I love Coleman I'm not sure I make that trade 😬

That's still a good, hard-nosed team, but I don't think the ceiling is as high as with what we have now.

It was more of a theoretical in a perfect world type of thing. More of a CH instead of BH thing.

Coleman is better rebounder and passer. Ben is better 3 point shooter. JMO the difference is not worth $2M minus Ben NIL.
I liked Coleman but once he said he was done at Illinois no matter what (smart financial decision) then I stopped missing him.

Isn’t the bigger question for Coleman whether he could have improved his NBA Draft stock by staying here another year rather than taking a larger one-year contract at K State?

If we lose tonight......you might rethink.

He would have slid into the 5 and could have paired up with Morez nicely. You're telling me you like the 3 of MJ, TI and BH better than the 3 of CH, MJ, and TI?????

It has been said that CH means no TI. Also, CH means no KJ. So are you telling me you like
Boswell, DGL , White, CH, MJ better than KJ, Boswell, White, Humrichous, TI?

It's hilarious how the $2 mil becomes an issue when no one here really has to worry about that. Championships are expensive. If those who actually control the purse strings want to win on that level, they'll make it happen.

I think he would have been great at the 4 with Ivisic at the 5. But if it meant no KJ, then no way. KJ is by far the most important player for us.

Plus you're picking a game where we're w/o Ivisic. That's not really fair. But it wouldn't matter. There are very few players in college basketball we could trade KJ for and be as good as we are now. Maybe none. He fits perfectly as Boswell needs another creator to take pressure off of him.

He is our most irreplaceable player, and it shows. CH could have easily slid over to the 5 and played the 4 with MJ. Would not have wanted to lose KJ, but would be very happy to have CH instead of BH.
