Damn, this will really help the music department!
Make him earn his NIL money: Sing the national anthem, play some D, sing at halftime, then finish up with some clutch 3s.
I like the signings so far.
Let’s get some length and athleticism on the wings now and maybe a PF and another big man!

Our next signing: Barry White.
You heard it here first!
Well at least he knows what a real shooter off the bench looks like. KK never seemed to.
We need him to be, there’s no time to waste after the last several years of futility around here!
6'6" 180, athletic and a gamer around the rim. He won't back down going to the hole.
He has some juice and a great follow through on his three pointer. I can see the crowds cheering those thunder dunks.
I believe CJP has reached out to multiple guys with size. If he can get Seydou Traore, we’ll have a real tough team and will be contenders. Nobody will be looking forward to playing us.
It’s better than the spare parts Kevin added last season but who knows what we have lots of question marks across the board. As you would expect in the current environment. But I like the choices in terms of who to take a chance on and hope they pan out. I mean I like them better than Cottrell and Teddy Bear.
It's all a strategy that I'm starting to see... he's bringing in young former phenomens looking for playing time along with the better parts of the talented young core that Kevin had, they're cheaper on the NIL budgets and will play hard to get that next NIL payday for next years transfer cycle. That's going to allow him to target some higher end impact vets to round off the roster. If guys progress the way their talent says they should, we'll be a very good team and they'll have earned their paydays.. if not, there's a good chance they stick around another year...
Al Green adds a shooter, but I would think he won't be a 42% shooter on the step up in competition. Still, if he could managed >37% it would give us a reliable floor spacer.
Not sure how Brewer fits in with Dravyn--the have very similar games. Dravyn is much more bouncy and athletic but is smaller and a poorer defender. Not sure you could put both of those guys on the court at once and expect anything besides clogged drive lanes and lots of space given to poor shooters. Brewer is a 21% career 3pfg guy. We still really need a PG/primary ball handler and frontcourt depth.

I agree it looks like we will never be able to bring in a proven guy again so take a chance on formerly highly rated underachievers and hope they find what made them highly rated in the first place. Damned if you do damned if you don’t if they do well they leave and if they don’t well that obviously isn’t good for the team either. I guess mediocrity is our playground. Hope they are just “ok.”
It does look like the best of the G5' s will either be programs that have wealthy benefactors ( Gonzaga ) or programs with coaches who become able to identify underperforming players and get them to their potential. ( repeated every year because these players won't stay or they are seniors. )
aaaaaaaaand that’s what she said
Why did I laugh at this? Am I 13 years old again?
I’m not here to judge, I’m here to create experiences.
I agree although there is a healthy amount of luck in that. It's hard to consistently nail out of all the underperforming players which ones are going to start performing again. So I imagine we will see years like last year along with years like say Utah St's year this year.
