@jojoandme troubling times.

@wissox83 I think we have found the thread that is monopolizing Bucketeers' collective angst!

I'm tired of fishing for the best players at lower level / mid-major schools. ie If we're to lose Flory, we have to get a Flory equivalent (or better in return) if we have any hopes for Big 12 and National Championships. Bill's made 10 million a year for many years now. He should donate to his own NIL fund. It's the only way he will ever win another championship.
If we were getting the best players from other schools or conferences, that would be one thing, but were not even getting that. Dawes is a solid player, but the 3rd leading scorer on a bottom tier team in our own conference that went 10-22. Blyden has some promise and good metrics but for a team that went 19-15 playing in the MAC that faced one P5 team all year. Reeves was a solid big for a SoCon team that didn't play a single game against a P5 school. He barely got off the bench in 3 previous years at Duke and Clemson.

It also sounds like there is only enough $ for a Miller type + Stokes. The rest will have to be filled with PWO types. Yikes
Grant Mordini is one of those. Visits Monday

When you factor in that Luke Barnett is already a PWO type and Trent Perry can't shoot at all it leaves you with 9 potential real players.

I’m half asleep…what’s a PWO type?
-
@rockchalkjayhawk preferred walk on is nomenclature used in football. Basically just filling out the back end of the roster with cheap players. Walk-ons no longer exist and everyone gets a scholarship now.

Ahh yea, gotcha. Thx. Zzz.
This is not sounding promising! I hate the new era…

Spending 50% of your budget on a top 5 Freshman hasn't worked. See KU, BYU.

Thankfully Stokes would be around 25%, but it's still a lot.
