Thx in advance
That's a guy you unload the NIL clip for. He's a 50/40/70 guy. He takes you from fringe tournament to 2nd weekend REAL QUICK.
Being from TX, will this be a fight with Baylor and TCU?
Would think it's going to be tough to keep him out of Texas- but you never know
Are we even linked to him?
Could be, but Baylor is bringing in a lot of talent. I don't know how he would feel about so many people at the same position. Especially, high caliber Freshman like VJ Edgecombe. It's obviously going to be a dogfight to get him, but it's one we need to win.Quote:

We're probably better set up for success than TCU so that works in our favor as well.Quote:

Gotta win it.
We're struggling to land a solid 5, so we really need to knock the wing spot out of the park.
White would be a grand freaking slam.
Achor achor from Samford in portal.
16.1 ppg
6.1 rpg
1.5 apg
43.5% 3
6'9" 227
23 pts 8 reb vs Kansas in NCAAT
Offer him the same thing as white, and see if one bites
He will be highly sought after. He's a 50/40/70 guy like White but he could play the 5 for us. Hubbard, Clary, White, Matthews, and Achor would be as formidable a 5 as any SEC team will put out there, and yes that includes Arkansas.Quote:

We have a legit chance with Achor. That is one to watch.
We are not getting White, unfortunately.
Talking to people out in DFW, it's between us and TCU. From what I was told, TCU had to blow more NIL than they bargained for with Van Lith and had to dip into the men's pool for that. Don't know how much is left. They've also already took two players at his positions. We have a better chance than you'd believe at White.Quote:

This is getting more difficult by the day to support this NIL bullsh|t.
These players are NOT worth it...hate the direction college sports has gone. Used to be the last somewhat honest playing ground, not anymore. All about the benjamins.
Get off my lawn!!!
Yep, it's insane.Quote:

50% FG percentage, 40% 3pt percentage, 70% FT percentage.Quote:

Drop the politics dude.. all you are trying to do is bait someone into responding.Quote:

Visit was cancelled. Texas Tech got in and muddied the waters as well as Kansas St. We're probably set with the UGA kid at forward. Now we're chasing one more big. We're hard after the Vandy transfer Lubin. Also are pursuing a UK transfer and one more guy. It's not the Samford guy. I know that much.Quote:

Or you can use the rules as they are currently written to your advantage, still complain about it and say it needs to be fixed, and still field a good team. We have too many fans who want to do the former and not the latter. Ole Miss is doing the latter and it is why they are exceeding in the portal in every sport.Quote:
