Nait George in the portal

What are you hearing in regards to Donnie? I know Devo is saying he’ll demand 2-3mil. IMO we should part ways for that money and start fresh at the 4.
Not worth the money. Injury prone. Hurt both seasons at SU. Per game made a lot more than 2.5 if he actually played a whole season. Wants to shoot jumpers and 3s versus going aggressive to the basket and rebound.
 
So first challenge in terms of the next interview will be explaining the fact around the effort to retain players ended with one or two staying.

Maybe that number was the end game? IDK. What I do know is that any critique, or praise, of the process needs to be reserved or at least tempered until we see what the entire roster looks like.

Any word on Sadiq?

"Obviously some players are told there might be better opportunities elsewhere and others are told our sense of their value in terms of NIL. I won't discuss specific players because it's not fair to them, but we kept the player whose NIL request matched our valuation. Others received NIL offers more than we thought we wanted to match and we wish them well."

So is this player not named kiyan?
 
I’m not saying it can’t or won’t happen, but losing both Sadiq and Donnie would be hella dumb. We should get one of them back. Yeah, Donnie was ‘soft’ but dude is talented; the right coaching could make him a monster. If Donnie is too expensive or just doesn’t want to be here, I’m struggling to imagine a roster that wouldn’t have a good role for Sadiq. I liked what I saw from freshman Sadiq a lot. He didn’t produce enough where we should be getting outbid by anybody, but who knows. Maybe other teams could offer him a bigger guaranteed role, I guess.
 
Back to Mr. George. Any parents who name their child Nate, and spell it NAIT, does their child no favors.

The thing is we can’t freak out over all this. We have nil money and a new coach so if Sadiq wants a different team then so be it. I don’t want Donnie back unless we pay 1 mill and that’s it

Sure we can. It's what we do.

I would take Sadiq all day long over Donnie. I don’t usually mention players by name but anyone who wants 3 to 4 million gets a few observations….observation #1 - hate the lazy cross court passes; observation #2 - having the ball frequently stripped while holding it is lack of strength and commitment in the weight room; observation #3 - dribbling with the ball 3ft from your body is a recipe for disaster; observation #4 - being 6 ft 10 inches and chucking up more than 1 or 2 at most three pointers is silly; observation #5 - being 6ft 10 inches with no in the paint footwork is sad; and observation #6 - being 6ft 10 inches with no face up game is mystifying. Finally, foot injuries in big men are notoriously difficult to heal and chronic in nature. Take the money and put it towards a couple of junk yard dogs with beastly attitudes. I want to see floor burns, stitches, black eyes, bruises and endless endurance and strength. I want to see attention to detail. Want to get paid like a professional, then play and carry yourself like a professional.

And warmly smile and high 5 after a loss to NC. That was my final straw
