I'm in favor - apparently we've reached out to him. He's lower volume on threes that you would think (4 per game), but he's 100% percentile on catch and shoot threes! He has some of the worst defensive metrics I've seen, but if you put him in a Goode type role of off the bench shooter who can also score in other ways (better than Goode) I think it's a good fit. I don't think he's our starting SG though, but he would be a great third guard for the rotation IMOIf I may make a suggestion

Is 0440 still in the portal or is there a chance he returns?

Lock down our existing players we want to keep, then see how the draft plays out. We'll be fine.

Likely or not, we need Will Riley back.
We are in a bad spot of having a ton of money to hand out, but not many difference making free agents out there to be had.
Hopefully the staff is beating the bushes in Europe and 2026 HS reclasses. Given how well Fears and Riley played this year, I think that’s the next best thing to try.

The "Oracle of Omaha" strikes again.
We should've made him a priority IMO sooner.
Dream starting 5
I'd take this guy in a heartbeat, but we've already got 5 guards (counting Rodgers) in the fold. We need some bigger guys who can score in the paint and hopefully stretch the four.
Omaha really loves their Creighton basketball, they have a good amount of NIL. Doesn’t hurt that’s he grew up 10 minutes away from campus and his mom is sick
Creighton has one of the most passionate fan bases in the country, draw over 17,000 a game. And a lot of deep pocketed donors. They've also won at least 1 game in the last 5 tourneys including 2 second weekends. He is from Omaha area. And McDermott runs an offense first program.

We need to find a way to lock Sarr in.

player acquisition: you gotta have a ceiling. don't blow your wad
So is this something a head coach should be graded on? Like if Underwood does poorly with the transfer portal, then is his job in trouble? I would think so.
Creighton seemed like the obvious choice, but they said he doesn't like Freeman. So ok, who knows the story, did Freeman steal his girl?
Did mom say don't be a baby, there are plenty of girls, it's a 20 minute drive for your family to see a game.

It should actually be hard to lock up the two best players available in the global market.
Cometh the hour, cometh the man.
Here maybe this will help you

It was obvious yesterday something was off.
My question is, what’s the delay on announcing for the Ivisic brothers or even Jake Davis?

Pryce Sandfort to Nebby as well
Good, dude stinks
By the end of the portal season, don't think this will be true. Would love to have him though.
His mom is sick

I think you may have answered your own question with your second paragraph.
