Class of 2023 C Owen Freeman (IL) Portal from Creighton

[BEGood]

Well if we are in the top third of spending in the acc I will pipe down.

It’s just funny we lose a guy from Furnan to Kentucky and we freak out. If we landed him everyone would say he’s from Forman and complain lol

 

[BEGood]

The panic needs to stop good lord. You aren’t going to win every battle. That’s why you have multiple targets.

It’s honestly so annoying

The problem is the targets are dwindling down rapidly.

No. I am not saying that. The amount the school gives to it's athletes is the same as anyone else. Where we have been behind is in the NIL game. I don't want to get in the weeds because the school does deserve some blame for being behind at the start of this but there are two buckets. One is rev share and the second is NIl. And if Brian was named Chancy, you couldn't give the athletes anymore than we are currently giving.

 

[Briancuse]

Do we still have enough nil to get good pieces?

Do we have a roster that is ncaa tournament caliber right now?

 

[BEGood]

This is just not true.

 

[BEGood]

Do we have a roster that is ncaa tournament caliber right now?

We won’t know until next year. You are looking too much into rankings.

 

[Briancuse]

This is just not true.

Ok give me some starting center options available that will make us an ncaa tournament team?

 

[dasher]

I don’t have exact numbers, but I seriously doubt we are spending at $20.5 million that is the rev share cap.

We are but most go to football. That is where most schools rev share goes.

 

[BEGood]

I’m not doing this with you. You need to chill and relax.

 

[Briancuse]

Of course we won't. We also heard the same thing about last years team. We have talent. Give red a chance to coach his guys.

 

[Briancuse]

Because you dont have any.

 

[SUtoga]

Ok didn’t know if we were spending at that cap, just wanted confirmation. That makes me feel much better.

Hypothetically more success would lead to more NIL because more successful teams get more sponsorships.

First, that isn't our job to know that. I don't think any of us would have come up with Kyle last year. Second, Freeman is still out there and we don't know if we are swimming in Europe waters just now. None of us would have heard of 3m before we got him. You want answers and you want them now. Relax. If we don't get anyone, and I think we will, but if we don't, you can drive us crazy with worry then.

I’m done bro. Go be miserable if you want.

If we had the money for Freeman and Wilkins we should land just fine.

Ok how do you feel about our chances getting freeman?

Curious to find out what Wilkins got. Has to be north of 2 million.

Our fan base is honestly insane. We act like we have Kentucky money. Gmac is building a roster with certain characters. He knows what he’s doing. I tbh love our adds. I think so far we have a solid core. It’s honestly just so annoying hearing our fans complain all the time.

Brian was brought in to build up nil he will do that. Also I did not want Wilkins at all tbh. I think he’s highly overrated

 

[djorange1989]

Spend more money.

That means NIL which is different

 

[dasher]

I'm worried and I will tell you why. One fault of Gerry from when he was an ass't was that he always thought we were in great shape with recruits. All those kids we lost, Gerry was surprised when we didn't get them. I worry he might be thinking that with Freeman and be way off base. I will \feel a lot better if on Monday, Freeman hasn't signed with anyone other than us.

We haven't made the tournament in 5 years lol. I get it your team.gmac. I have no issues with that. But try to at least see things from the other perspective.

 

[SDjohn]

Why are you name calling? For clarity, my stance is if we get him as a 3rd string center for minimum $ it’s okay with me as he is good kid. Hope he is not the primary or secondary choice, thats all. I’m trying to dispel rumors about drug use or a locker room problem or injury as that not an issue. For the record I 100% support SU as my primary team financially and other. I have lived in Omaha for many years and am involved with the program ($) so I’m passing on my thoughts and opinions based on what I know. You may not like him but others are enamored. Do you name call people that donate money to SU think you should appreciate all fans especially one who actually support the programs.

I’m name calling since you are switching your stance time and again. Could it have been possible the fans I was referring to being correct then? He plays below the rim and took a bag of $ then stopped working? You want to tell us about something…but refuse to say what it is man…just be forthcoming or don’t say anything at all.

Which was exactly my concern with him getting the job. The ability to close.
