Not that I thought Aberdeen was a legit option or anything but...



"at least $1.5 mill" says Trilly. Not a terrible price. Basically what OU's paying both Davis and Pack each. But yeah, not a need for OU at that price.

and that is just the tourney ..

It's around $1.3 billion INCLUDING the NCAA tournament

Wow, I do NOT see how that guy is worth near that kind of money. This crap needs to balance out at some point.

yeah it will "balance" by all the money going up across the board

the sad fact is that whatever our nil budget is this season....it's going to cost $millions to just participate in college basketball.
forget about national championships/conference championships......we probably end up bottom half of the sec again.

Bob P saying that our portal “strategy” shows that Moser has lots of confidence in Rogers. Who knows if that’s true or just covering, but if he really is gambling on a freshman barely in the top 100 to come in and solve a four-year problem, that is the type of gamble that could cost you your job if it doesn’t pay off.

There are still a lot of power/forward center types that could be backups in the portal….may be waiting for the dust to settle a bit so not to spend a lot of money on that position

But why? Why would the approach be to save money at the position that has been our biggest weakness?

PM is haunting me. I'm watching the Cubs game and Boog Sciambi just said that Moser is at the game.

"barely in the top 100" You will go to any length to make something sound negative...I applaud your consistency. Assuming he ends up being the 2nd Center in the rotation, what is your guess on what his freshmen stats will look like?

We have had multiple higher rated recruits who barely saw the floor for most/all of their freshman season under Moser. Regardless of whether we find a dollar store backup, I will be surprised if he averages more than 4-5 pts.

I’ll say it again, Bob knows nothing. He has no clue about what Porters strategy is. None.

 

[SunshinePumper]

Not a portal update but not worthy of a new thread: ESPN updated their high school rankings and they have Blair in the 50s and Rogers in the 80s. It didn't have any analysis, just the rankings. I am not convinced Blair will turn down the baseball draft, and am certainly not counting on Rogers being a difference maker as a freshman.

You're certainly not a glass 3/4 full but 1/4 empty guy

 

[cowboysooner]

I don't know if "bob" knows anything or not, but if we don't end up with another big from the portal, he is probably right with the idea that Porter is banking, rightly or wrongly, on Rogers as the backup to Wague.

I haven't seen enough of Rogers to have an opinion, but you usually don't want to count to much on freshman, no matter how talented. It worked out with Fears. But that was an exception to the rule. I guess if you have to, then you have to. But, it would really make me feel better about things with an experienced post. Besides his foul trouble, Wague has had some injury issues. And foul trouble and injury issues aside, you just can't be effective playing in the post in the SEC if you have to play forty minutes. Too physical.

My hope is that the price of the remaining bigs in the portal goes down in the next few weeks as everyone tries to find a chair before the music stops and we get one.

That guy drinks out of a no tip Timmy cup. No glass involved.

 

[cmdsooner]

He had a good supporting cast playing in a 1 bid league. They had some good wins. Bounced out of NCAA tournament 1st game and he Bombers. Take a gleen at his Tulsa year……

You mean the Tulsa year in which he led the conference in win shares?

I watched him play both on TV and in person multiple times that year. He’s a good player. Wouldn’t allocate $3-4 million to him but he’s a good player that affects winning.

[cmdsooner]

Not worth that to most programs. Still wouldn’t say his game doesn’t “equate to wins”.

Right on. Clown going to clown. Boomer

Yea… no doubt that he is a good player. Very ball dominant and is a volume scorer.
