Patience. If we were competitive on Dedan Thomas we have the money to get a legit player.
I would be in favor of spending a huge percentage of our remaining NIL on an impact PG and value shopping at the other positions but I know it's not that easy.

Not sure if we're interested, but would we have any shot at Big Z from Arkansas?

No way, we don’t need a 17% three point shooter with 97 turnovers.

What's competitive?
Were we ready to go to $2mill and got outbid at $3mill as some have noted?
Outbid by a mill doesn't sound competitive.
Can we get a decent PG for $2mill?? I sure hope so.

Boyd is heading to Wisconsin and Lowe will end up at Miami.

Not sure Lowe ends up at Miami now that Donaldson is going there.
I thought he was headed to Illinois to play with his brother.

I am going to say this - I am unimpressed by the portal additions thus far, and the longer it goes that we do not have high impact guys, the more it confirms the opinion that this coaching staff is not the one. I will be patient, but the longer it goes, the worse it gets.
Kingz is a nice addition -- but he's not a go-to guy, he's not a point guard, and let's all remember that he played in a level below the ACC in the West Coast Conference -- Oregon State was not a P5 school this year.
Kyle III played 10 minutes per game for an 11 seed. Showed some signs, but can you bank on this guy being a 25-30 minute per game guy?
Two role players. But we need high impact. And thus far, our starting lineup features who?
PG -- ?????
SG - Starling (Sr.)
SF - Kingz (Sr.)
PF - Freeman (So.)
C - Kyle III (?) (Sr.)
Bench - Anthony (Fr.), White (Fr.), Fennel (Fr.), Womack (Fr.)
How is this any better than what we saw this past year?

Well one thing if we get more than what was it this year, 14 games from Freeman, it alone will make a big difference.

I am happy with the additions but agree that we still haven't added anyone we can be positive will be a game changer.

Just heard from a ga tech fan (SU is #1 with him but lives in Atlanta) that it was reported that Will Wade of NCst met with him already. I had heard before that - that UNC was high on him. Hoping we are making big inroads with George.

It’s one thing to want more, but kingz is the 25th ranked player in the portal according to to Evan Miya and Kyle is graded as a power 5 starter according to Jonathan Givony. This is not Lucas Taylor and Jyare Davis signing here.

Lowe will end up in Miami. He can play either guard spot. He has a no contact in the portal. Reports say it’s a done deal to Miami. I’m not sure why he would want to play along side Donaldson, but it seams that’s where he is headed. Maybe we can outbid them

Are we done? No. This post was extremely premature. We will add more players. A PG and another big.

As we know premature anything is bad. I don’t understand being upset with the result of the off-season when it isn’t close to over.
Some people are impatient, it's still early in the portal. The next 2 weeks should give us a better idea how things are going.
