Not good.
This is the reality in this new era regardless if s player is committed. No player is safely yours until they’re on campus and even then you gotta work to keep them around.
I think he’s a kid, he’ll learn eventually.This makes me cringe…
Yup, as a coach, as a program, how do you plan, prioritize, adjust recruiting needs when everything from even your current roster, less your future possible roster is in constant flux, always questionable? Must be difficult to switch up from looking at players you think have lots of potential that you look forward to developing - to finding players who you need confidence in to produce immediately. I would imagine if you have a specific system that it needs to be adjusted so it is easier, simpler for players to adapt to. That‘s my biggest worry with the complicated rotations in JB’s zone - how quickly can plug in players really learn it. I imagine even more complicated man to man defenses like Va’s pack defense would have longer adjustment times if rosters are in flux too. Sorry for my rambling early morning thoughts here.This is the reality in this new era regardless if s player is committed.

Thanks, we needed that.Take a deep breath, friends Should be good here.
Why is the name "Quade Green" echoing in my head?Thanks, we needed that.
Wake me up when Adams visits here 11 times without committing.Why is the name "Quade Green" echoing in my head?
No better time than now, lol.I think he’s a kid, he’ll learn eventually.

Adam W. has offered a big NIL deal to Adams for 2023. I wrote about it a few weeks ago.I think we need to offer a generous NIL. Sorry, but that is the reality as these kids, even those who get an offer from their dream school or a school that is the right fit, are shortsighted and just want to go to the highest bidder.
I hate it, Boehiem does too, but the reality is that if you really want to compete with the best, fill a 30k seat dome, be a prominent program and not always have to fill a roster with 2 to 3 star kids outside of the top 100, you don't just have to join the NIL party, but the NIL must be very competitive.
I agree. You've put in your time, had a great long career, don't like the landscape change - without all the fuss, just walk away gracefully like Jay Wright did.This is an "awful place" we're in with college basketball. So given this is JB's take on the NIL and the transfer portal, what is the communication between him and AW.
Not sure why he would continue to coach in a distasteful environment.
Thanks - I am aware of Weitsman's deal, but what might look big to you and me, might be small to the kid, or he might believe he could possibly get a bigger payday elsewhere, thus his latest statement. Not saying we should offer more if it is indeed generous - some of these kids or their handlers are just greedy.Adam W. has offered a big NIL deal to Adams for 2023. I wrote about it a few weeks ago.

Then it's not a Top 5. Just keep the recruitment open and commit when ready. Not a difficult concept.
Sure it is. As of now, this is his top 5Then it's not a Top 5. Just keep the recruitment open and commit when ready. Not a difficult concept.
Touché.Sure it is. As of now, this is his top 5
Translation here: "C'mon, let's see those NIL offers."Not good.
