Presuming this is a formality, given that he was just in B-town and likely already knows campus somewhat.

As a KSB alum, 100% agree. Love seeing that.

It's called covering his own posterior. UI fans don't like it when players defect to the east. They all but had sniper scopes pinned on Eric Gordon. 😂

If he's as smart as this on the court, we're in good shape. Or is that goode shape?

Need a backup big and the last can be a wild card

This is sounding more and more Goode by the second

Cam played before NIL and before the rules regarding agents were relaxed. Relaxed rules = a lot more grey area. I'm not saying it DOESN'T happen. I'm saying the need for guys that know all the below the surface networks aren't nearly as important.

Who's to say it doesn't?

It's almost like someone had a vision for how to fix this roster, and they're making it happen.

Have to think, Anderson was not playing in a major conference.

I'm never an advocate of intentionally breaking rules. I am an advocate for bending those sumbitches until they sound like a bowl of rice krispies and are blue in the face though.

First career playoff game. Let's chalk it up to nerves and give the kid a mulligan.

I think there's a goode chance the Goode puns get old really fast. 🤣

Goode Gawd Almighty

My guess is that the total fund is probably like a line of credit. Financial source X has said "I'll fund up to $x over y years". Our staff then allocates accordingly. As for the deals....could be either or. There's nothing that says you can't write a multi-year NIL deal. If the financiers/programs were smart, they'd structure NIL deals to incentivize kids to stay. "Ok, you'll get X in 24 installments over the first year. If you don't transfer, you get X2 as of next year, plus Y "retention bonus" at the beginning of next season."

Why would we slow play anyone when we still have plenty of open spots?

Easy as pie to build that in to an NIL payment. "I want 50K in this account, 25K in this account and the balance in this account." Done. And it's not like these transactions are going to be audited with a fine tooth comb.

"Clinging" would imply that I had this narrative prior to 2024. Also, nice Reddit-style attempt at a shut down. "Please never change". What, no clown emoji? C'mon now... Nowhere near as important as it once was.

It also just dawned on me….Tom Crean would make a hell of an AD for somebody someday. His Achilles heel was always in game coaching and adjustments (and finding pants that fit). His long term vision and ability to work the media was always great.

In the days when “incentives” had to be of the wink-wink-nudge-nudge variety, having a guy with a “network” like Antigua made sense. Today, Crean is absolutely right. Talent acquisition needs to be in the hands of the head coach and the personnel/support group. Let the three actual assistants focus on skills and development.

Well, if they get swept in the next series, at least they’ll be consistent 😂

That’s definitely not a negative sign

Ballo is a 5th year senior, and when a dude like that talks, people tend to listen. Not sure of his mindset or personality, but he’s a possibility.

Who said he was never seen again? Some people just may not know they saw him.
