I think there are very few guys that meet your scenario 1) uncommitted 2) Has the raw potential (either size or athleticism) to be WORTH us investing our development resources on and, 3) ...

None. What does that have to do with any of this? (Sarcasm font)

I don’t know of any freshmen that are decent and uncommitted. But again, we see what happened to Powell. But even if there were freshmen out there, I doubt they would come here due to the same...

Are you not hearing what our own fans are saying on this message board? Many longstanding fans are questioning whether they will continue to be interested in this team or this sport. I don’t know...

Ok. You (and others) act like any and all changes that would happen as a consequence of the NIl and Portal would be instant. Like year 1, all of the impact would be felt. That’s just dumb and...

Yet their coach and the best players have left.

Interesting! You edited out that last part!

Do you want me to answer that? Probably not since you already know that answer. Lol

Wow. I wrote a lengthy post last year about how SDSU simply was an early adopter of utilizing the portal to create a deep, experienced, veteran roster. They cracked the code before the “pack”.
...

Boy, that had potential but nothing at all for the Big East. Could have been very usefull. Still maybe some utility when it comes to estimating the basketball NIL of the power 5.

The teams with the largest alumni base will have an advantage. And if it’s a quality school where alumni go out and earn a lot of money then they will really be well positioned. There are schools...

You can’t be serious. This goes over your head?

Example: mid major brings in 5 good freshmen. Has a solid year. Returns as sophs. Has a really good year. All 5 transfer to Xavier. Mid major...

this is EXACTLY where the separation starts. The teams with money will "buy" proven, experienced, talent in the portal. And the teams without money will bring on the high school kids and have them...

WHAT!!!!

if you meant 5 dollars to 10Million, then yes I agree. But I think you meant 5 million to 10 million.

I mean, how COULD you even spend that much money. the coaching staff is already...

so back to the question. How much did he get at USC? If you show me some evidence that he took LESS to go to USC, then I'll eat my words.

I think Sean knew Claude was leaving well before it was official. I dont think we could have brought Foster, Conwell and Maddox in if they all believed Claude would also still be here. There just...

Yeah. And I said that 3 years ago.

Also, entirely foreseeable. All this was coming from a mile away. All you had to do was envision the sequence of events. My guess is that Powell will go somewhere probably at a lower level where he...

Send him to Triple A (Dayton), then we can call him up next year.

No, you are missing the point. they CAN do it. Because there is no union. If that results in the formation of a union, then they will reach a new agreement through collective bargaining.

The...

Would you PLEASE stop saying “collective bargaining”.

That applies when a union exists. There is no union.

Why don’t you tell us what he got at USC? In fact, what is your source for the claim he was offered 500k at XU?

Wow. Who could ever have predicted that things like this would start happening?

Lots of agreement with the last 2 posts.

Best of luck, Des!

Ok. But now the story gets spread even thinner. First, it’s that he wants to be PG. fine. Then do it. Now he’s a lead guard. Which gets translated as the man, which we can’t be because Fremantle...

But he had that at X.
