Dip your nuggets in my staff source sauce.
Shoutout to the other guy who knew Storr was great coming out of high school. He was always Kansas-worthy.

I just hope we get our guys and build a strong squad. Storr is not a make or break guy he wants a big pay day and he got it so good for him.

I totally agree with some of the points on not sweating missing Storr and Maddox, but it still sucks whiffing on multiple of our supposed top guys.
Misses happen in portal recruitment, too. IMO, this present moderate risks in heavily leaning on the portal but Brad is smart enough to already get us 4 multiple-year transfers so it should be less of a concern next year.

They got the girlfriend a spot on the WBB team ...

Kansas never wavered on their original offer ...

Ole Miss took Davis ... Arkansas said we don't want you at the asking price ... Texas was not even recruiting him ... We were not willing to go higher than the offer we gave ...

And in the end ... Kansas was the most $$$ ... Had the girlfriend there ...

Surprised Storr camp didn't wait a little longer considering they came down nearly 500k off their asking price ...
what in the world was the asking price? Goodness

And the details in this long story have remained pretty consistent throughout the process. Thanks for keeping us apprised along the way, Indy & All!!!

Loved having nuggets of your insider knowledge over the past two weeks --- re. how things were progressing.

So if Hawkins is likely to go undrafted or make an NBA roster then why not comeback and get paid well? I can't understand why he wouldn't at least ponder it.
I would think it is just tough for the kid to fully come to that conclusion. The really good news is that his parents seem like very supportive and realistic. That will lead to Coleman playing another year in college IMO? I hope it is with Illinois, but I would understand if he went to a place that he felt would better allow him to show NBA teams what he could do in the league.

i have zero inside knowledge, but I would think he really needs to see us get a “true” 5 man, to get him out of that role.
