Clingan will be one of the most monitored / watched college players in the country next season. He’ll be conditioned. Being a lottery pick is the incentive. Probably running wind sprints right now.
Someone announcing that Clayton was going to St Johns. Looks like a change of heart maybe
Check back after the NCAA early entry deadline May 31st.
The NBA combine isn’t until mid May and players have until the end of May to decide if they’re returning or not. Would think we’ll know decisions shortly after the combine for guys that are going to put their name into the draft (Jackson, Sanogo likely will). We’ll know final roster make up by early June for sure but chances are, the staff are close to knowing it by now.
Money is gonna run out, especially in basketball. Once novelty wears off, no one is giving $300k per year. A bag man with $10k? No problem. $300k for 5 months and no guarantee?
I don’t think you understand the kind of money certain schools/the people that support them have
Or that boosters have been paying players for decades already
I dont think its actually money running out, but if everyone is throwing around silly amounts, then there will still be the same relative parity there is now. The $ people will be tired of paying huge sums of money for second round exits.
Georgetown . Last.
Georgetown 2023-24 isn't going to be like the last two seasons.
A .500 year will be a good year one. That's a huge improvement over recent years.
No. Not that bad. For sure. But not that good either. You have to realize you just stole a coach who really hasn’t done Dick.
I’m not looking at his stats but I’m not a fan of Lukocious. He can shoot, but I think he is slow and isn’t fast to the ball or to the rim and he doesn’t elevate much. His ball handling isn’t elite enough to make up for his slow feet either.
I totally disagree, the money will continue to flow. Buying a few players has massive impact in basketball. Both Miami guards had million dollar nil deals. The center had 500k. Pretty big salary cap bought final 4. Watch st johns buy players with mike repole money. Ian jackson could be the first
I think Andre is the only wing that is potentially not, no? And Mgbako is more of a 4 than a 3 at this point.
Can’t speculate. But I wouldn’t know honestly if he’s more of a 3 than a 4. Watching is highlights he can definitely play the 3 at the college level.
UNC has a crap load of playing time available. Makes sense
I’m sure there are going to be some market corrections at some point as things grow/evolve. But if you don’t think some of the top transfer targets (or the top guys on big programs) are worth 300k, idk what to tell you. Guys like Dickinson are easily worth a couple grand to a college. The colleges aren’t directly paying them, that’s what the collectives are there for: to help secure deals for these players. The top guys are very marketable.
They just got Withers from Louisville who will eat up a lot of their minutes at PF
I don’t see Mgbako as a sure fire 4. I think He can play the 3. I won’t pretend like I’ve paid much attention to him before now. But just watching him I see a wing
Assuming those are head coached, this is hard to believe. The head cross country coach at Eastern Connecticut makes $85k a year and was hired last year as a D3 coach. I know it's state vs. private but still.
I guess. They wouldn’t be starting this year anyway. I’m sure they’re aware of that. Mgbako is probably a one and done
Probably at low major schools but I seriously doubt any coaches at Georgetown are part-time and make that little. And definitely not the soccer coach, that is for certain.
