2.5 million is crazy talk if that's true. College sports are broken
That's a vast understatement. I mean Nwoku got nearly 1 mil from LSU for a guy that averaged like 5 points and 3 rebounds so why not 2.5 mil for Murphy. That's the kind of out of control environment we are dealing with.Quote:

All I know is we just got outbid by $1M on one of our top 2 players and a guy that we really wanted to keep. So yea, we are playing but at a whole different level than the top programs.Quote:

I would rather see us spend 1.5M on a legit Friday night starting pitcher than on a role player in basketball. This is so stupid

I wonder if Auburn has a group that pony up the money or is it the same booster(s) from football.
It looks like we are going to have to rely on the freshmen this year. This portal class is shaping up to be a pretty big disappointment. Skilled offensive players dont want to play in Jans system. And when you have a guy on the team that takes 75 percent of the shots its pretty understandable why.
Are we gonna get anyone?
Absolutely not. No roi in baseball and we are terrible in baseball. Plus the regular fan can only get sro tickets. Put that money in a sport that generates revenue especially nowQuote:

We have to be smart. What wins? QBs win. Pitching wins. Pay them.
Im disappointed that we offered Murphy $1.5m. Not close to worth it. He?s worth max $700k. Absolute max.
Who is making these decisions? That is a problem.
We are talented in baseball and are probably about to get into the regional and do well.Quote:

yeah Pearl is one of the best coaches in the country and wanted Murphy. Murphy's 3-ball gets better before next season- he will be hell to deal with
Then add to it- Jan didnt want to lose Murphy. We offered as much as we could.
