They clearly have tons of NIL to offer.

It might be ok if everything goes to plan. Problem is, it seldom does and with County and Giltay at backups to PG and C, we could be in serious trouble if there was an injury for an extended period of time. We would also be in serious trouble if we had an injury before the tourney like we did...

I know, that's why I said it's about more than just playing time after you were discussing Hines being a sophomore as it pertains to future playing time. I was alluding to the fact it's about the $. There is a reason Hurley said we needed to do more to compete if we want to continue to be the...

Maybe not a top C option but a pretty solid one. Hines is gonna be good but he averaged 6 points a game. Not like you are trying to sell playing time behind an all-american starter. Other programs of our ilk seem to have a lot less trouble stacking talent at positions. In another thread, someone...

Yep. Agree completely. These decisions have to be largely financial based. If Silas or Hines gets injured for an extended period we would be in trouble.

I would love that but all schools don't have the same size money bags.

Agree. Averaged 3.3 pts a game for a subpar Stanford team and his minutes diminished as the season went on. This feels like a budget add and if he is the backup center, I assume that means we are possibly approaching our NIL limit. With that said, gotta trust staff. Results speak for themselves...

I wasn't worried until the Solo injury. Now, in addition to the bench pieces we need, I think we need someone else that can get buckets. If Mullins has a bad shooting game, it could get rough. We are counting on huge sophomore leaps from Hines and Nik in an entirely new system. We are also...

Add shooting as well. Lose a lot of that with Solo

He is most likely a starter wherever he goes and will probably cost a fortune. Doubt we have the budget for him. He's a really good player. The 2nd half of the season he was really good and looked like Cincy's best player at times.

And if Silas has another injury? St. Johns would be fun with a developing frosh. Ball handling and Center are two areas where "better safe than sorry" should be the mantra. After we just saw Malachi save our bacon, I'm surprised some are on board with rolling the dice. Obviously budget is a...

Vision lol. More like an aggressive offer.

Im aware of all this. Only thing Im not aware of is the staffs plan. I agree with you about one thing. Ball might be better as a 6th man assuming all these guys return, but only after Landrew earns the starting 3 spot. If Ball is shooting like his sophomore year and his defense improves even a...

All good players cost money. Mullins would be favored to be our best player next year. If bigs are going to cost that much, then do we have to cut bait with good wings to afford them every year? I get it's a balance with the money allocation but if our staff is trying to sign him then they think...
