UC spending all this money on buying up half city property but can put together 75k NIL deals get couple players sell out new arena? One thing I didn't like about our conference was we went against other major metro area for recruits. Philly, Memphis, Houston, Orlando, Tampa. Now we going against back road teams, we have take advantage of being in BIG 12 in metro area. That should always be our #1 sale pitch outside of playing in final fours.

We're apparently in touch with Marcus Hammond from Niagara, a 6'3" guard who can score, takes care of the ball, and limits fouls.
I was under the impression we didn't make the top 10 for Roberts. Something change?

I missed that, looks like he posted his list almost 2 weeks ago. You're right.

Kendric Davis (SMU) and Darin Green (UCF) both have entered the portal within the past 24 hours.

All of a sudden, we have one of the more attractive roster situations in the AAC.

Good point! We have lost a couple of role players but haven't lost our best. If we can just improve a little bit we should be in good shape.

Yes, except with the way these aac teams are looking it will for sure be a 1 bid league next year.

I'd put him more as a better version of Mason Madsen. Guy who's out there to (be a threat to) shoot threes. Low assist rate, low TO, low usage. Bad defender, bad rebounder.

He's more of another version of MAW He put up similar (but slightly worse) numbers at IU, against better competition.

He would not be Earth shattering by any means but one could hope a slight improvement in a weaker conference. Worst case he can defend better than Mikey.

If we get him we gotta get a scorer on the wing like McNeil.
