Now that GMac is HC, what does next year's squad look like?

[tptcuse]

I'm in the "I don't need to know a number at this point. Just bring in good players phase."

It is clear that for at least one season under GMac we are going to have the NIL/RevShare/Player Budget/Vegas money/Funds/Bags/Dinero/Cash/Bucks/Resources...

Are the lallys fuming right now?

 

[OrangeFoo]

So is this thread about what players we will get or arguing about a number that will never be made publicly available?

Man this board is toxic… everyone has to be right and prove that they are either. might be time to take a break

Watching all these NCAA tourney games, one thing we’re definitely going to need next season is way more size (and physicality). Michigan, Illinois, Duke, Arizona, Tennessee all have huge size. JB’s philosophy for years was to try to be bigger than your opponents at every position. We’ve definitely gotten away from that. Gmac is gonna have to find some big guys in the portal. But he does have a potentially good big man coach in AO, who was one of my favorite SU players from that golden era. We shoud have won a championship when he was here if not for that post-season injury!

One of the best big men I saw this year was Jaylen Carey from Tennessee. I think we’ll probably land JP Estrella since both have eligibility and share the center spot

I am not interested in explaining, I look for reasons to be positive, not to doubt

it amazing how many experts are posting here. Experts in negativity.

Think that we are getting ahead of ourselves. Is Estrella even thinking about entering the transfer portal?

Isn’t he still playing for Tennessee who is still in the Tournament?

I do agree that if he continues to play well? in the tournament that could boost his NIL earning potential and lean toward transferring.

He may be one of those rare players who are loyal to the college they are playing for and want to actually graduate from that college (even though that college is Tennessee (just joking)).

That 4-5 is not the only source coming in for NIL as several folks pointed out.

 

[RyanCuse44]

That's how I feel reading the last 3 or 4 pages...good gosh.

It feels like it would be easier to swallow if we just said there is no NIL so everyone can get back to being angry and panicking as a permanent state of being. Soon enough we will start learning about the staff, whose staying and whose coming ( all of course playing for pennies).

Also just so it’s clear this is sarcasm.

No. People wish cast this every season. Just like Marek was always going to go back to Europe.
