How does Hill lock in Storr?

Didn't he tell players on his visit that he was coming here hence the confidence about a commitment?
For those who want R. Avila watch the MSU game. My impression was significant defensive liability and likely not as tall as stated. Malik Hall and others were able to take it to him or blow past him. I prefer a true center (Goldin) who can be a rebounder, blocker, defender.

This guy has to be priority #1 if he transfers, worth every penny in added publicity alone!

To give Hill his due, if I were a MAC team looking for a centerpiece star, I think Hill might be the better bet, just because of his prowess as a scorer at that level.
But Maddox's floor spacing, passing, defense, ability to provide some coverage at the PG, 106 games of D1 experience (with three conference titles at two different schools), son of a prominent Chicagoland HS coach, he just much more strongly gives the impression that he would translate well to the high-major level and be a multifaceted contributor and a winning culture guy in a team with other major pieces. He has Domask vibes that way.
Maddox is not a better player than Storr, to be very clear. But I think I'm more worried about losing him than I am about losing Storr. Lock him down now if you can, I cannot conceive of a scenario in which that ends up being the wrong roster construction decision in this portal season.
Getting cold feet on Storr is even more reason to grab Maddox now.

I think the staff will want a pure PG transfer this go-round, which probably eliminates Moretti.

Guess he thought better of it? lol
Yeah he’s really fun and a great offensive talent but he’s absolutely like one of the worst defensive players in the country lol
imo that transfer big would need to be more than just a quasi-starter/solid minutes guy for us to have a similar ceiling/season as this year. I think you'd need a 2nd high profile guy there.
Unlikely they would get (take) both Hill and Maddox, IMO.

Shoutout to the "handlers"
Coleman quote tweeted this account and said “shoutout to the ‘handlers’ 
”
”
It was Coleman responding to a tweet that said something like: "Attention: Coaches are finding out that college players care more about money than basketball"
And Coleman's response was something like "shoutout to their handlers
"edit: It's probably over my head but it seemed pretty benign to me
Would getting a guy from Tipton, IN (Humrichous) forever end our Tipton curse?
