Who plays the point? 3.1 asst to 2.4 TO are Gayle’s numbers last year…

Yes, that’s a worrisome stat. 2 to 1 is considered average to good for a pg, the closer to 3 to 1 is reaching elite status,

 

[Wrinkle]

Gayle is certainly not a PG but he's a good guard

 

[hoopsupstate]

I like this kid. I’m surprised we never got involved.

Unless Red thinks Westry can play the point, there’s no place for Gayle. Currently, there’s no point guard or backup point guard on the roster. One sprained ankle away from being a disaster.

I suspect there is a good likelihood that Westry indeed is starting PG, at least nominally.

We are in the market for a pt guard. The plan is not Westry. Maybe as a back up.

And to think the first game is probably in less than 7 months

That sounds good. I hope there’s a point guard that wants us.

Kid's asking price is very high. Wasn't in our budget.

 

[jdubs30]

I like the idea of Gayle, but I don’t see it :

PG - TBD
SG - JJ
SF - Bell
PF - Freeeman
C - Lampkin

Unless he’s willing to come off the bench, I don’t see how he fits. I bet Westry is the first guard off the bench and Cuffe is the second.

It’s really too bad neither Gayle/JJ can play the PG

I think Amari was one of the best big men available. It’s crazy that we didn’t have enough NIL to compete with St John’s, Indiana, Creighton or Florida. I would expect we could compete with most of these four when it comes to NIL. SJU is a tiny private school with a small alumni base. Creighton is pretty small too, certainly smaller than Syracuse. It’s not like he’s down to Kentucky, UNC and Kansas. Is it true that most of our NIL is focused on football?

If we assessed the asking price as too high that doesn't necessarily mean we couldn't compete on NIL.

NIL is focused on where the donor wants it to be and more donors are donating more money to the football collectives.

Why would anyone pay for this kid. He isn’t good.

 

[pokercuse08]

Yeah multiple factors here, whatever our NIL is, it doesn't sound like it's unlimited. So they have to manage the budget and decide where to spend it. Presumably a large amount is earmarked for a PG and Freeman.

St. John’s and Creighton can use all their NIL money towards basketball. They don’t have to deal with football.

There's also a need for a higher NIL budget. More players. Just the way it works. 5-10M on football side, 2-4 on basketball side gets you into a good place.

Creighton only needs $2M on basketball to compete at a high level.

 

[littlereg]

I think some people here would be really surprised by what a school like marquette has at its disposal in both operating cost and nil funding.

 

[RyanCuse44]

Kind of surprised with this one -

Better than 50/50
