It’s unlikely he’s coming here if we’re all in on Pettigrew (which we are).
Bowman’s recruitment has become very crowded. Arizona, UConn, Texas, UNC all involved.
It might be whomever commits first. We have become a destination. These 5 stars can go anywhere. The question is where do they want to go. We are no longer reliant solely on Illinois kids. Great to get them.

We are pretty damn close to not having to worry about bag conversations
To bag, or not to bag, that is the question:

Whether ‘tis nobler in the team to suffer

The ninth and tenth men of outrageous fortune,

Or to take shots against a sea of threes

And by opposing brick them. To lose—to turney-run

No more; and by a sleeper season to end

The heart-ache and the thousand cutting shocks

That Fletch is heir to: ‘tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wish’d. To choke, to weep;

To weep, perchance to dream—ay, there’s the flub:

For in that sleep of slump from this mortal coil,

Must give us pause—there’s the respect

That makes losses of so long season.

I think you're right and we're definitely one of the haves vs have nots, BUT we still have a ways to go before we say we don't have to worry about it.


Interesting list.
That list is a joke lol.

Stefan Vaaks is said to be our highest paid player at 2.8M.

Andrej Stojakovic is next at 1.3M.

And David Mirkovic isn't even listed in the Top 100.

the primary thing with all these elite kids (the smart ones, anyway) is fit. that's why the vast majority of them wait til the dust settles in spring. that's what I expect Pettigrew to do. if we can provide the desired fit, I like our chances. barring unforeseen stuff, I think he'll re-class (to '27)

just to be clear, I'm not saying money doesn't matter (it's just not nearly as important as fit). there are other factors too, of course. I think we check all those boxes extremely well. plus, there's the proximity angle

Wouldn’t be that sure of this source.

NIL #s are guesses. It's all "I'm told that..."
