My Illini-collared Misty is not a fortune teller. She’s just patiently waiting, really hoping that the Illini can pull off Indy’s Trifecta. BTW, she’s nicknamed Willie Mays because she makes such fantastic over the shoulder catches..

Why aren't we after this guy? From Chicago, and how many chances in life do you get to land a Boopie?

Do we know how much Morez got? If he got close to $2M then maybe $2M for Dix isn't as crazy as initially thought? NIL inflation.

Josh dix…. a 3 star recruit. Sitting in a top slot!
quite frankly… good for him! Love it if he comes our way! should know soon…. I am guesssing!

TL;DR: I want Josh Dix next year. He’s not worth $2 million
It’s hard to know what’s he’s worth in a vacuum, this crazy portal period is unprecedented- you can base it on what you think guys got last year but now with Rev share some schools have almost unlimited budgets.

If you gave me a trade off of not getting Dix, but getting Jacari White instead but that frees up enough to get Quaintance as the PF, I would take that trade off in a heartbeat, but if we don’t have another SG as plan B then paying Dix $2M might be an OK answer

Sorry but spending 1/5 of budget on a guy who shoots 3s but can't guard his own shadow makes little sense. That's if budget is 10mil. Yet dont want to spend let's say 500k for a guy who could be really good in right situation. Some of you not good with building team around money and think it's Madden with Salary cap turned off. I would just pass on Dix because sorry he's far from worth the 2mil if that's the number.
