Ball, Bray and Stew....

Is there enough money for all three? And two bigs? If you had to rank all 5 in the order of value--Mullins and a starting big have to be 1-2. You could argue with all the other players on the roster, a backup big would be #3.

If that's true it's brilliant. I don't have any idea what the exact money #s looks like. We do know that AK and Reed were well paid. Solo and Stew probably got paid last year and that money is already accounted for.

Also, despite what we may think, there are ballers who dont go for the biggest bidder in order to play at a big school. I think it's wrong to think that every player on every roster had just taken their largest offer.

My hunch - two of them come. Would love all three.

What is going on with Furphy? Wonder if Furph is good to give us some minutes next year for a starting role as a Junior.

Mullins I think goes pro but we will see.

I think he's the domino if he comes back. He doesn't other two are slam dunks. Odds of coming back are stacked as:

Solo
Mullins
Stew

I have no idea where room is for Stew if we bring Freeman in & Mullins back. There are at least two guys that have to make "hard decisions". To me that is Mullins & Stew. Stew deserves a ton of PT next year and I just don't see where he'd get it if we have Solo, Ross, Landrew, Freeman and Mullins at the 2-3.

Latest O'Connor Mock has Mullins fairly high. He's really anywhere between 15-28ish. That's a tough range - you are 15, you go. You are over 20, you think hard about staying. Most of these new mocks have Yaxel and Mara in the lottery, sometimes top ten.

Yeah. I agree Solo will be next to announce he's staying.

You dont think JStew can play the 4? We saw how he defended Dixon. And he can defend wings too. He's super long. And is a good 3 pt shooter and can rebound.

If Freeman picks KY we may not have to have this convo at all.

This guy makes total sense. The G league is dog eat dog, buses and cheap hotels. Who wants that?

I can’t see Stewart demanding much in NIL.

Nothing against the kid, he seems to be a good teammate, but he’s a fringe 8th man

Stew is a tough call - would giving him that 4 starting role empower him? If Hurley swings and misses on Freeman, does he give Stew a shot?

He's a tricky one. I have a hard time thinking he's coming back to be an 8 man again. Or to back up a starting 4. He's just not good at coming off the bench and deserves a starting role somewhere.

I agree. If Stew comes back there will be a plan in place that is far greater than 8th man minutes. It sounds weird to say but he hasn't REALLY had a chance to shine. He played behind AK most of the year and Braylon+Ross' incredible leap+ Stew's injury made it a tougher junior year. I think he adds a lot when he gets good minutes.

We’ve been connected to multiple big name fours and more will likely enter the portal in the future. All of Hurley’s actions suggest that starting Stew at the 4 is pretty far down the list of possible options. IMO we cannot go into next year starting one guy that can create their own shot (Silas) again.

I don’t know who this dude is or what his shtick is but I saw enough clips of him during the tournament to make it unclear as to whether he’s doing a bit or not. He had a Hurley video that was one of the worst things I’ve ever seen.

It also appears, at least as of now that Hurley isnt going the "tear it all down" approach. He seems, with limited info i admit, that he may be leaning towards maintaing some kind of continuity, maybe not out of loyalty but other more system/style related reasons. But of course another guy who can create was what all our Natty teams possessed. Sometimes more than 1

If 15th is your ceiling then coming back is the choice. Sure 15th is fine but how much lower changes that calculus? Especially given the unique NIL position Mullins finds himself in.

But I don't know the actual ceiling and floor he is hearing.

People keep on posting about what Stew “deserves.” He had a bad year and has barely developed in three years. Why do some here still think he has earned anything?

He’s maybe not a starter at our program but he’s an absolute impact player off the bench and a luxury for a program of our status. To call him “a fringe 8th man” is basically ridiculous.
