Prices are going to go up, so you better make sure you’re spending wisely to get your monies worth. Freeman is not worth that kind of money. The only thing he’s decent at is defensive rebounding.  He’s a horrible offensive rebounder because he has no motor. He’s a pretty good shooter for a big, but not a knock down shooter.  He should get better but he has a long way to go on both ends of the court. SU will have around $7.5-8 million (including NIL tournament) available for NIL.  They might be able to scrounge up a little more if they really want someone.  If Freeman is our best player, we are not a NCAA team.  Not even close. He should be option three or four on a good team.  So if prices are going up and he deserves #2 million, where is the money to pay two or three others more than $2 million?  You have to pay the entire roster.  St. John’s spent around $3.5-4 million (per N.Y. Post article) for their current roster.  Kadary is their highest paid at $1.2 million. They would not pay $2 million for Richmond. It’s going to be a fascinating portal season. We will know very quickly who we are going after. What players ask for will not be what they may get.  There’s going to be a lot more sophistication in selecting rosters this year.  Ask Kansas how paying $2 milllion for a bench player worked out. The one thing that’s not clear is Donnie’s health.  Was he playing hurt all year?  I thought he limped all season.  Maybe that was responsible for his explosiveness or the coaching staff’s time management. It might explain his lack of agility and inability to slide his feet on defense.
