nil is out of control.

the man will reign it in. he has to.



the kids better get theirs while the getting is good. this ain't gonna last.

How can we continue to keep them in their place if they've got plenty of money?

Hunter Dickinson has scheduled a couple visits, one to Maryland and one to Georgetown...also going back to Michigan for some sort of meeting...he's supposedly had some Zoom meetings with a couple other schools as well.

It is almost like the portal will get them ready to play in a professional league where there is no loyalty and lots of churn. Terrible idea. They should be forced to stay where there is stability and a 7-11 job.

that's not how that works. its rich business owners, in seeking profit maximization, thinking how they can profit off this system and then buying/paying/controlling politicians into enacting legislation that affords such opportunities often with the misguided belief their efforts spur business/create jobs/solve problems.

Dickinson supposedly set-up a visit to Lawrence sometime next week.

On paper, that's a top 5 team.

with perhaps a better balance and higher upside. that said, in son? the jokes will certainly regress.

Jesse Edwards (Syracuse) visiting Lawrence...down to 4 teams.

I know nothing about him.

His nickname is "The Mad Professor"...I feel like that's all we really need to know.

He did also average 14 & 10 last year with almost 3 blocks per game.

yes....and I specifically said I have no idea about him. I just saw he was visiting Lawrence next week....so I thought I'd ask here....

Step it up tdub lol we need a scouting report. Nobody else had a clue he was visiting or who he was.

Feels like he's our plan B instead of dickinson though. But on paper both seem like very good players

dickinson is open to the highest bidder. he will follow the money.

Open to the highest bidder.. the new norm. If you're still in college as an upperclassmen, established yourself as an all league/all american caliber player, you pretty much have to enter the portal

If you're gonna enough to be that sought after, but still in college as an upperclassmen, it means your professional dreams are uncertain.

Cash in on the NIL money as much as you can

you would think michigan could pay him.

Which is why going back to Michigan is still on the table.
