For a Cowley College guy that also couldn't get on the field at tulane football prior to that? No way. I don't believe the pricing on nwanko at all and if we are paying him that, hopefully it's the last grandfathered remains of dumb Joe C basketball. Where we weren't operating as a business..

I hope he's a total stud but we shouldn't be paying him much for his lack of body of work. He's not a 5. There's untold amounts of dudes his size we could find for cheaper.

I disagree. Moser said he was possibly the best player on the team before he got hurt. I have no reason to doubt him.

I think we had to lock down Nwankwo.

 

[CoachTalk]

Why would their market have been 300k in the first place? They haven't proved anything in power conference ball

These 7ft centers scoring 10-8 are getting 2mil

If you don’t think a juco all American, elite athlete, high high upside, is getting 300k you’re out of touch.

What do you think Dayton got before this year?

 

[CoachTalk]

Woof. Why? That's bad money decisions imo if true

Jones was def poy and nearly 40% 3pt

You think he got 80k?

The same Moser who said Luke could push for a starting spot two years ago and who said Los and Oweh were the foundation of the program? Yea, who could doubt that guy.

 

[SoonerMagic21]

To be fair, in the non-con Luke was pushing for starting minutes. If los and Oweh would’ve stayed, would they not be foundational pieces?

What does Tulane have to do with this? That was 3 years ago. Most d1footballers can’t switch to hoops and make something out of themselves

Honest question what do you think his value?

Agree. Oweh wanted to play at a blue blood. He had or has no hard feelings toward this staff.

Exactly. Not sure what argument he was trying to make there. This is 2025…it’s ridiculous to pin any form of retention on any coach these days. Scott Drew is having to replace his entire roster….all of it. How many has Self lost over the last two years? The wonderful Jerome Tang that so many worshipped on here not too long ago lost what 6 guys recently? Texas Tech has just lost some key pieces. It’s a **** show for everyone…I’m actually shocked Porter kept as many as he did.

Oweh and Uzan were exactly that. He was right.

He didn’t get the best out of them and allowed both to transfer and become stars. That was his fault.

But I think he’s a pretty good judge of talent.

If OU just paid them like they are paying for people this off season they would have those 2 along with Fears or maybe one of the transfers from last year. It's hard to win if you don't pay up in this day and age. We have been paying for a roster that's been bottom tier. This year is a bit different it will likely be a top 20 talented roster. If we don't end up making it at least out of the the first round of the tournament if not first weekend it'll be a disappointing year. Not sure you could say that any time the last 5 or 6 years for the most part. Maybe the Covid year being an exception.

No chance.

If we aren’t and we aren’t spending over that 10mil roster… we aren’t a top 20 talented roster.

I know a week old, but a solid tweet still and Ante is still in (but bigger money for sure)


Also:

 

[BoulderSooner]

Man, football and basketball players leaving Cal like the plague.

word is some of the checks might not clear there

 

[BoulderSooner]

but yeah a federal judge is going to be just fine with the "new normal" next year being 5 mil basketball caps ....

lol

Also:

Do you have access’s to the Evan Miya transfer ranking? Am curious to know where he has the three guys we have so far.

 

[BoulderSooner]

That’s fair, but who of the returners/freshmen would garner a significant amount that would run up the budget to $7-10million? I doubt any of the returning players/freshmen are making over $300k/year.

i bet all of the players are making over 300k including the freshmen

 

[TEvans4Three]

1: Xzayvier Brown, Dayton Forsythe
2: Nigel Pack, (think we need one)
3: Jadon Jones, Jeff Nwankwo
4: Tae Davis, Alec Blair (maybe - 3/4), Andreas Holst (3/4), Kuol Atak
5: Mohamed Wague, Kai Rogers (think we need one)

Bold are needs
Italics are bench-bodies

I think our guards all swap and play through. Pack, Brown, Forsythe can all handle the 1 and 2.

The one thing I don't pay for, unfortunately.

i linked the court docs for the cofc player that was making 300k there as a single digit scorer ..
