Kerr can demand just about any $$ he wants. If he wants 1m he’ll get it and if it’s from us then I’m sure they’ll have to give TSJ and Coleman the same amount. Not sure we have that much for not a guaranteed top 5-10 team

No he can’t. His NIL value is not 1 million. TSJ and Coleman NIL money would not go up to match another player’s NIL.

my thoughts are this is why you balance your classes.

This is the last go for Shannon and Hawkins. This is the last go for Domask and Guerrier as well, same for Harmon if he makes it. So given your best players are in their final year, you want a good cast around them, and you sure as hell want a PG.

So now we're looking at a guy who could potentially be a team cancer, but is highly talented in Kriisa. Toussaint is a mediocre player at best. So do you bring in an experienced guy with limited ability, or do you say, we're better off as a program down the road developing a younger player, but with so many final year players, there's no time to develop anyone, you need to win now.

So you're kinda screwed either way. We break someone in and develop them and live with the mistakes, or bring in a mediocre final year guy, and lose that development. What is the lesser of two evils?

. . . . the one thing everyone has in common. Everyone, even the most successful people in the world have failed at one thing or another. Every Single One.

According to Christian lore, the last perfect person was hung on a cross. Which is pretty much what many are trying to do to Underwood here on Loyalty. You sir, are deserving of my highest compliment.

This is literally what happened last year, but we've added some shooting in exchange for point guard play.

We could be very good, but as a team we are going to have to get buckets on our own a lot. I have a lot of faith in Ty Rodgers the W/F, not as a primary ball handler.

I think the maturity and age of our team will provide a higher floor than last year, but we will be heavily susceptible to ball pressure, disrupting our offensive sets.

Y'all need to look for the positives. The Williams decommitment may give us 12 hours without all repetitive Podz discussion. Probably not but maybe as likely as Tyger Campbell running the point for the Illini next season
