After all this talk about wanting a proven rim protector when the portal season opened up, if we wind up with a frail, unproven Euro guy that’s likely to bolt after one year as our 5… it might be justified to start fully leaning into the “very realistic chance we’re mediocre next year” crowd...

Some allusions on 247 that the mystery player could potentially be a quick and easy process once he enters, similar to Quincy for us last year with how quick that played out. I would love to get a top guy where he practically enters with a “no-contact” tag and it’s FOR US. Huge steps for the...

OR he’s doing his due diligence to throw us off his trail 👀

Pipes said there’s an update and he is taking the Nova visit now. Starts his visit in Champaign tomorrow

If Humrichous is the second best transfer we bring in…I think we’re in trouble. It’d likely go: 1. Jones LARGE GAP 2. Boswell 3. Humrichous SMALLER GAP 4. Booth 5. White And we’d still need a 2 and a big unless we run a big guard/small big lineup like Boswell, Jones, White, Humrichous...

Maybe project isn’t the best word…but more so guys that are proven talents against the top competition/major power 5 transfers. Like I consider Domask to have been a project in a way, and it worked out great. But can we expect that with every mid major guy we bring in?

Humrichous will be cool assuming we get him, but he’s the last project-type player we could take I feel like. I think anyone else we get after that would have to be a DUDE

RayJ is gonna be doing a lot of this if the rumors are true. Truly don't see how he can refuse what we upped to

Of course, 0440. You guys do your best with the info provided, no way we should be putting that on you guys if it doesn't pan out that way. Unfortunately, there are a few people here that just might take this stuff a bit too seriously. But ironically, if you guys were to disappear from the board...

dang... would prefer RayJ but better than walking away with nothing if that's the pivot we have to make

my panic will subside because i still have not had a reason to not trust you guys :)

It's not just trilly that thinks this tho, multiple people are hearing this now. The rational discussion is that there's a very real possibility we whiffed here...to Utah

I'd be overjoyed to be proven wrong but I don't think there's a single backup plan that would be as good as RayJ

And we have trusted sources hearing it won't be Illinois. Nice. Is the panic warranted yet?

I heard that one of Hawk or TSJ informed staff of their decision this morning - which one and what that decision was, idk... best guess is TSJ confirmation because it's supposed to be good news
