Well, guys will have a variety of NIL options. A top team with a glaring hole could throw a lot of money at a player to get over the top
No idea about Hawkins but what we saw with Dickinson will be commonplace if the rules remain the same

Hoping for Kalkbrenner
I think it'll likely depend on how the portalling goes. Even if we were to assume Morez and Amani both would get around 20min per game at the 4 and 5, that still would leave 40min. Ty could shift back down to the 4 if we were to get an elite PG, in which case we'd want to portal up a backup big just to soak up extra minutes. However if we want Ty to remain a guard, we'll probably be looking for a starter level big in the portal capable of playing 20+ minutes.
That all said, I would be surprised if both Morez and Amani weren't getting fairly significant minutes next year as wing and guard seem to be our biggest positions of need for elite starter transfers and there's only so much NIL to go around to also bring in a starter big
He’s not starting over Morez !!!!
Because he’s going pro (including Europe) for sure or what?If Hawkins comes back I’ll buy everyone on this forum a beer or

Is it really out of the question? He seems like the kind of player that might make a small fortune in NIL if he returns, but would be a fringe draft pick.

Well if you can't listen to instruction, scouting and play for yourself when on the court you will not be very successful, play many minutes and be around much longer. Just my observation.His body language in the team photo with the trophy after Braggin’ Rights game was
I just think Coleman will be done w/ CBB. Been 4 years and he’s thought about leaving the last 2
I’d be very surprised if Dain is back next year. He’s already losing some tick to Amani.

Its easy to forget that they still have to at least go through the motions of going to class/doing school work on top of all the practices and workout. Plus every single game is pretty high stakes at this level and requires a lot of emotional energy. If its possible to make decent money elsewhere I think most of us would probably not want to stay too many extra years as well.
By all accounts his competition will be a McDAA and someone the staff pay a lot for in the portal.
I hope he makes the decision impossible for the staff.
Yeah, I think 2-3 mins into mins he made no effort on a close out, was out the next play and I didnt see him after.
This year we've been at our best moving the ball and posting our guards/giving TSJ the lane. I hope we continue recruiting to that style, it's a lot more fun to watch than constant ISOs.

Do we want a 5'9" pg, or are we looking at him as a Plummer/instant offense player? Seems like a great talent.
Hard telling. But CH almost went into the portal this year. Like this year, decision might depend on the team BU assembles for next year.
