I think his point is that they are not done big game hunting.
Purdue spending 12 million just in retention seems way to high.
Two expensive guys in Smith and TKR but I'm sure they got pretty good deals by locking them in early and then the rest is probably spread out.
But I've also heard that Painter used to give everyone on the team the same amount of NIL.
Fair point. 3 million seems to be the going rate for really good starting level players in the market so you need to swallow hard and be willing to go to that level.
Well if that was his point, he sure did a great job of not making it lol
I live in Knoxville and the talk show guys pronounce it E - ama - le - ava.
UConn is getting involved because they are waiting on an Alex Karaban NBA decision...which won't be for a month. If he goes back to school, their involvement goes away. That's the caveat. Meanwhile, we're trying to get him to commit before he leaves town. How is the going to work?
I wasn't picking at the poster or the info. The info is appreciated. We go from A to Z with EVERY one of our targets and amidst us hoping for a commitment, UConn needing insurance comes out of nowhere.

Purdue's coaching staff and donor community have a mutual conclusion that the continuity and understanding with system and teammates that makes them special and gives them an edge is not for sale in the portal at any price. Which is correct.
I am certain the money for Smith and TKR, but also Loyer, Cox, everybody, reflects that. That they are worth more to Purdue than anyone else is an accurate reflection of reality.

4 weeks ago it was extreme.
If you have a core of players that fit your system and with each other, you do anything to keep it. Hopefully they also know the value that it contributes to their skill development.
Not spending your whole offseason getting kids up to speed and learning to play with each other is huge. Then you can work on the minutiae of the game and building sets and developing more sophisticated schemes.

I've seen their temples. They've got a lot of cash to throw around.
I might not know ball but I kinda feel like he shows flashes of present-day Kristaps Porzingis
I don’t see it too far fetch for a player who played 4 years trying to get back to college or someone who enters the draft and doesn’t make it
College players who are good are making more than average pro player. A G league player contract isn’t that much
Which run down fast food joint did we take Andrej to?
Some of the comments suggest he’s uh… not the best teammate. But the pipeline would benefit greatly! No clue if we are talking to him. IANAI
Heard they were going to Sooie Bro BBQ.. in hopes they win their lawsuit and add in a few million for NIL
Sure hope that ice cream machine at Mickey D’s is working today
Do you think in any cases they actually bring the cash to meetings?
Honestly that would be pretty cool, would sell me...
Can someone clue me in on Stojakovic? DBM and O/D Rating are both well below someone like Tre White, who I'm sure costs much less. He's average from 3. I'm not seeing the excitement.
Pairing any athletic wing like Will with Tomi will be hard to stop, but I don't see the value difference in raw stats or metrics.

Maybe they'll pull out all the stops and take Andrej to Portillo's instead this time.
