I'm guessing it'll either be 1)the player(Jones), 2)a court of law(Domask) and 3)not wanting to have anything to do with classes or school responsibility to get your pro career started, even if overseas(Hawkins). Those would be the no's, while this entire board would say yes.

If you were 20 years old and you had 5 entities offering you anywhere between $500,000 - $1,000,000....would your parents have been cool just sitting out the process? I'm willing to guess that 0% of the people posting on this board have ever been in that type of situation. So, to be sick of...

When 18-22 year old "kids" are discussing deals in the 7 figure range, you're going to be out on literally every high profile kid if dealing with parents is an issue. Not sure if you have kids, but if you do, would you be ok with sitting back and watching schools throw money at them without...

I'm guessing: 1)You're not married 2)You don't have kids Because if you took that approach with your wife: 3)You'd be divorced 4)You're wealth would have to be divided by 2

I don't disagree in full, which is why I pointed out that I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a substantial addition to be implemented into the roster. Regarding last year, let's call it what it is and apologies to Purdue fans in advance...we had the best player in college basketball on our...

A small part of me is in this camp too. We have a really, really good player with Boswell, but then a lot of role players and/or pieces that still need to be developed. The amount of production out of those guys is always a wait and find out approach. I'd put Maddox in that category as well...

Pretty sure that's because of the volume of transfers versus the PERCEIVED quality. Quality probably isn't the right word, as it makes the players sound like commodities, but you get the drift. When the top names start flying off the board, we'll drop.

I agree here. He's still a very good coach, who will have a tough team that on any night can beat just about anybody. That said, he's not enjoying how things are trending with the portal and NIL. He's clearly not choosing to adapt, yet he complains about the disadvantage of his teams playing...

You're focused on offense, which can grow. If he starts erasing all of our shots, keeps our guards out the the paint and controls both backboards, you'll understand....we all will.

Agree. If I was being put on blast for two straight days, I'd take a hiatus too. Prior to Sunday, I never used the ignore feature. Since Sunday, four times.

Don't know if there's any clarity, but I'm seeing a few SOLID 5's transferring into the conference. Are they seeking a hight level, plug and play guy? I don't want to see us get steamrolled on the boards this year. The Clingan game is still very real

I agree with that 100%, however.....will agree with that? If he wants to start and doesn't, then in April 2025.... Finding guys that are ok being role players will be limited to being gotten via the portal for these coaches. I'd think that it's a tough as for a coach to go into a high...

These numbers are mind blowing. This is darn close to a complete and total roster overhaul. Incredible.

Taking emotion out of it, if that comes to pass, I can completely understand his reasoning for leaving. Those are his guys and he feels like his owes those guys every opportunity to play. Everyone's view on the portal is different. Painter has huge success just dabbling in the portal to fill...

Same class, but a lot more meaningful minutes and significantly more production, correct? I could be WAY off base here.
