Luke walked senior day. It had to be in the back of his mind it was a possibility for him to leave. It can be the coaches wanted him to stay, the coaches recruit to get better at every position, and Luke choosing to go a different way. Loved watching him play and wish him the best!

I don’t post much, usually just a question about recruits, but here are my thoughts now that Goode is in the portal.

I like Goode, but I don’t blame him for seeking other opportunities rather than riding the bench. And while he wouldn’t be one of our top players next year it seems, I saw him as a culture continuity guy and I thought that was important.

With so many exiting the program and the uncertainty of who will be filling the roles, my greatest concern is not lack of talent but entering into another 22-23 season where the talent is there but the unity/culture/personalities result in a decline.

I just really hope we don’t get pigeonholed into taking talent-only players because that’s what’s left and they aren’t EDGs.

Agree with this post.
I hope the staff is taking into consideration the targeted players personality and ability to fit into a team(EDG) concept as well as their talent level. I think what helped this team come together was the overseas trip which I'm sure was a great bonding experience that this upcoming team is not going to experience.

So, with Brea off the table, wonder who we’re looking at in terms of the 2 guard spot.

Kinda figure right now our dream lineup (assuming Domask doesn’t get his waiver) is Boswell-mystery SG-Jones-Humrichous-mystery C (Onyenso?).

I guess alternatively we could go big with Boswell-Jones-Humrichous-Booth-mystery C?

Obviously his lol look at his list. Also, he’s the best shooter in the country, why on earth would it be our choice

Lol one can dream we backed off because Domask's waiver is getting approved and Coleman is coming back so the NIL is being used to go after Jones and a center.

Employees are free to leave a job at any time and non-compete clauses are legally invalid in many states.

(There was an effort to do that in Illinois that I don’t recall the outcome of tbh)

That the sport cannot go on like this is clear. *HOW* to get to where it needs to go is devilishly tricky.

I'd almost suggest the "Where" needs to go first. We don't want to be all vector, no heading . . . .
