We're going to need to grow the war chest even more for next year in order to retain most of the talent we've landed in the portal this year.
Oh lord…. This is EXACTLY how the previous thread got started.
So you're an expert now on Kasparas? Good luck with that evaluation.
The one that bugs me is that there was an unwillingness to pay a player more than TSJ got last year, which while understandable on some level is simply not how an inflationary market works.
Seriously? Some massive jumps here. It's like all the other guys we have brought in have been for free or bottom of the barrel guys
I thought last offseason reactions were bad.....
Dan nuking the thread from orbit works 100% of the time every time. At least for a while...
When everything settles and we lock in our roster ... would love to see how a fan who hasn't read every single daily recruiting thread thinks of the team compared to all of us crazies. I'd imagine opportunity cost bias and counterfactual thinking are huge with all of us here that have followed along with all the drama.

It's not how a market works period. The value of a good or service is whatever its buyer is willing to pay for it at this time, whether it's my old golf clubs sold via Craigslist or a 3-wing purchased via the portal.
Offseason boredom
The adds are by and large role players. Pretty good ones, to be clear! And some promise for a bit more than that in guys like Boswell and Hamburger. But I thought this program shot a bit higher than crossing our fingers and hoping guys make a leap… i.e. the difference between “let’s just get stars” and “let’s hope we can get a star with a little luck and a breakout at the right time.”
If we’re predicting outcomes and you’re sitting in the “the staff is going to get a future NBA MVP from Europe” camp while I get to take the big range of outcomes contained in “the transition to college has been challenging for many European players, including extremely talented ones, so it’s unlikely a current 17-year-old will be a star next season…” man, it’s always possible to be wrong, but I’m very comfortable predicting the latter.
Oh lord…. This is EXACTLY how the previous thread got started.
It’s fair to say that we’re learning and getting better at adjusting to the ever-evolving portal. We won’t be middle of the pack with this coaching staff. We’ve been dominant the last 5 years and will continue to be a top program. We’ll have a top 25 team entering the season when it’s all said and done.
Boswell is a bum. I want Jayson Tatum. And if we got someone from Europe, I would like it to be Jokic. Who the frick is even Ivisic? sounds like dollar store Jokic.
