It looks like Lowe is looking elsewhere since Donaldson signed with Miami. Huge surprise. Everyone was saying he was all Miami because his godfather is the coaches father. Carolina is now involved. I think if I was Miami I would take Lowe over Donaldson. Several ACC players are going to other ACC schools.

Lowe is getting recruited heavily by Kentucky.

Looked like p0r n from my perverted perspective...

Doesn’t everything?

I think it’s an estimate of the share of the $20.5m allocated to basketball. The norm is expected to be about 15% which would be $3.1m.

Correct. I'm surprised at the Big East $$. Would expect they would be investing in their BB programs with more even if they won't be spending the entire $20m.

This guy is getting everything right.

Wholly Clemson. Surely they will take a step back right? They've had the same super seniors playing for like a decade that are finally gone.

 

[Fly Rodder]

Really wanted him but at least it’s not an SEC team.

 

[Sherman20]

Ffffffff…. this is the other center I hoped we were getting if not Ballard

They’re much smaller private schools, by and large (except UConn), and so that’s a lot of money to budget from the university fund.

He'll look great for the 1st 8-10 games and then get Capeled when they soil the bed mid-season.

Interesting

As Final Four looms, schools are scrambling to spend money on players: 'Everybody is playing beat the clock'

As the Final Four looms, schools are scrambling to sign players to high-dollar contracts in a “mad dash” before a Monday deadline. It’s simple: Sign by then or risk booster deals being rejected.

6’9 and 47% from 3(albeit on a small volume).

 

[OttoinGrotto]

This guy really annoyed me, so I know he's good.

 

[Nicknack]

I'm very pleased so far with the pickups by Red and company. Much better than last year. I just hope they can cap it off with a solid starting center. I'm starting to get vibes of striking out (sorta like last year at the PG spot) so we end up with a guy who is a good back up center being pushed into the starting role instead.

If you're right, we can get by with 2 back up level centers.

But I think Williams will be pretty good for us, and I don't share your strike out vibes.

This one not happening but I didn’t expect it would.

Wild to me that people weren't sure if we'd want this guy.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Another 6’9 shooter in the portal. Seems to fit the profile.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Doesn’t everything?

Shut up! But, maybe.

I'm sure this has been said many times before, but i haven't really been watching the tournament, so it's a fresher, 'louder' thought for me:

Absolutely ridiculous, that the portal is open and hyper-active before the actual end of the season for the 'best' teams. How can anyone justify this? Is this a way of instituting competitive balance, so that these teams still in it are at a disadvantage? Just dumb. I know coaches have talked about this, but it's not the first year with this timeline, is it?

Would be so cheesy to go through this and the whole “four hats“ press conference, only to say that he’s taking his talents back to Miami.

yea but how you going to put Alabama next to NCState and Miami and pretend he's not going to Alabama?

Why would anyone pay attention at all. Averages crap for a horrid team (that beat us )

 

[50YRsofCuse]

Can’t imagine going to NCST with Quadir also there fighting for minutes.
