Good to know. Hopefully that’s better.
Watching him try to fight through screens is one of the more pitiful things I’ve seen at the college level
Well, sort of got evened out with Keaton and David.
Do i even wanna know how much he's shopping Mirk for.
I see you are getting familiar with Misko experience.
Think guy like Rich Paul is NBA, he only wishes he's as big as Misko is in Europe. To add insult to injury, he usually represents biggest and most talented kids from Europe. He has stranglehold on that market especially on Balkan area but he's also branched out. So basically basketball agent version of Thanos - inevitable.
This is also kinda new market for him (NCAA) so cant blame him for trying to get his guys paid early, pricetag usually drops once money runs out and portal just opened. Reason why he has this much clients is that he is the guy who can make things happen for you, even beyond your imagination. He keeps things simple and real for them and he holds no grudges, which is somehow rare in agent world.
All things considered, i dont think Jovic gets that 2M, but if you compare that with what would his pricetag in Europe be, he would be lucky to earn that money in 4 years.

Well Petro and Bilic can go down the road if Misko wants to be difficult

The donors got a Final Four team. They’re not adopting individual players here.. they’re contributing to the overall fund.
Funny you bring that up … I think it could be the exact same story …
Very tough to get into Michigan as a Junior …
But also - don’t think they’re the biggest competition for Blackwell … I think we are our own competition … Come with a strongoffer and get this
DONE …
We start pissing around and that’s when I think it’d get interesting …
I think with all the players that this team wants the NIL payments should be structured with a decent base salary and bonuses based on how well the team does as well as player's individual stats. If the potential bonuses are high enough, I'm convinced that we can get anybody we want..
Wasn't always the case. In Josh We Trust.
I'd be shock if Petro stays. It didn't work out and his arrival to the team was very late that I think played a part in his rocky development/assimilation with the team. I think Petro can thrive in a smaller conference something like the American. One of those conferences. As far as the twins goes, really want both back but it wouldn't surprise me if the staff places more focus on Tomi if they can't get both back. Z did enter college before Tomi and his arrival at Kentucky was well documented because of the huddles that it took for him to get admitted into Kentucky. So maybe Z has had his feel of college and just wants to leap to the NBA. Regardless, a retention of Mirk, Andrej, Tomi and Jake is an absolute must and will be a fantastic start to the off season!
The Petro “miss” was more than washed by the Keaton “hit.”
I’d rather lose both Ivisic twins than lose Mirk.
I kinda feel like they already got their revenge for that "L"... Worked out pretty well for them too.Guys, last time we battled with Michigan for a portal target it went pretty well:
I'm going to dislike my own comment now.

"I can't tell you. Secret."
Well Misko, we weren't exactly thrilled that Petro couldn't handle the court all year.
Pun intended.
in all seriousness, if Blackwell goes to IU, his comment about competing for national championships might be one of the more hideous things I’ve ever read.
Barely. Assist from the admissions offices.Guys, last time we battled with Michigan for a portal target it went pretty well:
Represents Jake now as well, correct?
F1
so I’m guessing that’s what he meant.In that case, it’s all the more ridiculous. Petro and Billic provide arguably the same value as AJ Redd. In a tightly contested game, way more likely than not that they’ll be DNPs.

With Malone being hired as the new UNC coach and his connection to Nikola Jovic, do we see a possibility for Misko to start looking to push his clients over there? All the talk since Malone has been hired has been his connections, especially internationally.
