I would never pay $2,5 m for Murphy.

Ever

[civildawg]

2.5 million is crazy talk if that's true. College sports are broken

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.

[BankerDog]

We offered 1.5MM. Hubb has an offer similar to Murph?s Auburn deal from us now. So yea we can play the game

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.

I think we need to spend basketball money on baseball and football and rent the hump out for concerts. There is no ROI here.

[Cowbell]

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

Not I

[Coach34]

Yep, for apparently north of 2.5 mil. We just can't compete when it's an all out bidding war and that's what football and basketball has become to get top.quality players.

Yes. Yet another example of a bigger school taking something we want because they have more money.

[cheewgumm]

Save the $2.5 M for Kamari Taylor next year.

[Santiago]

I wonder if Auburn has a group that pony up the money or is it the same booster(s) from football.

[msugolf]

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.

[msstate7]

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 now

Agree!!

[cheewgumm]

- Pay QBs big money .

Pay elite basketball big money

Pay starting pitchers big money

Don?t pay mid basketball players big money.

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.

We are not terrible.

[Coach34]

we are terrible in baseball.

Most successful program on campus by far. Last season we made the round of 32- something basketball hasnt done in a generation

The market determines worth and to Auburn he?s worth $2.5 mil.

We can try to moneyball it but the staff better be A+ overlooked talent evaluators if going that route

[Coach34]

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.
