The more interesting calculation would be the total $$ earned by UConn 1st rounders vs. the 'Cuse first rounders. With a realization that Kemba and Andre have many more years of earning upwards of $30M per year.

Syracuse: $126,268,083 paid (thru 2018-19), $24,750,000 outstanding past that (all for Waiters)

UConn: $352,442,483 paid (thru 2018-19), $57,690,095 outstanding past that (for Andre and Shabazz)

Kemba, Jeremy and Rudy all enter free agency next summer. Between the three of them I'd expect another $100 million (at least) in guaranteed, long-term money added to the UConn pile.

I think that's even a pretty low estimate. Kemba is probably looking at something like 4/$110M by himself, if not closer to a max deal. Lamb and Rudy I could see getting ~$10M per on a 2-3 year deal

Think Lamb and Gay will be perfect MLE guys for contenders. Probably 2 year deals at ~$7m each. Hard to think Kemba wouldn't get a max

I think the mle is even higher than that now.

They'd both be really good fits in Golden State (really who wouldn't). Gay in Houston filling Melo's role is what I think should happen

We are in good shape with Kofi. Just need to close.

maybe during this week...?

Thoughts?

A good surprise is on the way. The bad one has happened.

I’ll take this as Kofi will commit and Akok has chosen elsewhere? Blink twice if I’m right.

Really? You're going to try and piggyback your never emerging, dual surprise Monday/sudden half bad news Wednesday on top @BFieldHusky 's insight from just now?

All these posts on the BY the past few days with you trying to keep up this strange flex of yours and you've never once addressed where the missing good surprise is or any sort of information on what it might be or when it will arrive.

Give some original insight on the outstanding Monday surprise, jefe.

Please know I actually enjoy reading the voices in your head and have no desire to see you stop. I'd actually watch every day if Zac and John gave you a video show on their new UConn Daily platform.

Kemba should get very close to, if not actually a max deal. Everyone knows how good he is on this bogus Charlotte team, which is probably the best they've been in 4 years ( still pretty awful). If he has a pass first playmaker to play with (LBJ/Jimmy Butler/Giannis/etc) they will get rings, 1000% guaranteed. He deserves to get top 5ish PG money

Kemba 2019: 29.1ppg 6ast 4.2 rbs 46.1%fg 40%3pt
Kyrie Irving Career Bests: 24.4ppg 6.1asts 3.8rbs 49.1fg% 41.5%3pt

Looks like max deal money to me

 

[Towney007]

Man, if we get both these two... wow.

 

[Phoenixhusky]

Someone asked Kofi on his Instagram when is he visiting Illinois? And he replied “soon.”

Take a deep breath and relax.

I'm not sure I could possibly be less angry or more relaxed right now @CL82 .

the good one is Akok commits to us and the bad one Chief is referring to was the news about Wilson

That's far to specific.

Andre has another long max deal in him (he is only 25). I’d say between Kemba and Andre assuming they stay healthy you can add another 250m to that total.

Wisdom my friend. Remember what happened after 2 “insiders” made “specific” predictions about Akok?
That’s why Chief does things the way he does - not to be “vague” as some well intended but uninformed casual fans see it - but to not screw things up or burn sources.

The AAC has been part of the ACC this whole time? I knew it....

 

[UConnKev]

One of the mods on the Cuse board said they are out on Akok a couple of days ago. Pretty sure he’s well connected to someone close to the program
