deserves its own thread.
The 26 kids haven’t received their star bumps yet. Sanoe and Lugolobi will end up getting bumps. Both are very nice prospects.Are we back to being a developer of 3-star recruits program?
This is from a Twitter guy but I've heard the basketball program has a random whale type who is willing to spend a lot of money on players and it's easier in basketball because you need to bag out a smaller amount than football.Nothing about how our new basketball coach can go out and get a top 50 high school PG in the country that was demanding NIL?
Money wasn't an isn't an issue.
It's less than the cost of football but you still need a lot more money per player, and they have a lot more options than 1 year of college and so it seems like they're pretty hard to recruit, especially to a dead carcass basketball program that can only say "well we've cut the ribbon on a new training facility but that's it".This is from a Twitter guy but I've heard the basketball program has a random whale type who is willing to spend a lot of money on players and it's easier in basketball because you need to bag out a smaller amount than football.Nothing about how our new basketball coach can go out and get a top 50 high school PG in the country that was demanding NIL?

If you pay each starter in b-ball $1.5 million, that's $7.5 million.It's less than the cost of football but you still need a lot more money per player, and they have a lot more options than 1 year of college and so it seems like they're pretty hard to recruit, especially to a dead carcass basketball program that can only say "well we've cut the ribbon on a new training facility but that's it".This is from a Twitter guy but I've heard the basketball program has a random whale type who is willing to spend a lot of money on players and it's easier in basketball because you need to bag out a smaller amount than football.Nothing about how our new basketball coach can go out and get a top 50 high school PG in the country that was demanding NIL?

Plus, people on Twitter saying this shit; it was known with GO that there was prior money put aside that was used. This is a brand new recruit, and one of high school at that that had a bunch of other basketball hires from schools a lot more successful than our own program.
and again, this is Twitter hearsay but apparently the booster I think doesn't have much connection to the school and just is in Seattle and likes basketball and views it as close as buying an NBA as you're going to get. Who gives a shit about college basketball and basketball in general anymore to me, but I also assume it's a lot easier to manage than an entire football team/program.If you pay each starter in b-ball $1.5 million, that's $7.5 million.It's less than the cost of football but you still need a lot more money per player, and they have a lot more options than 1 year of college and so it seems like they're pretty hard to recruit, especially to a dead carcass basketball program that can only say "well we've cut the ribbon on a new training facility but that's it".This is from a Twitter guy but I've heard the basketball program has a random whale type who is willing to spend a lot of money on players and it's easier in basketball because you need to bag out a smaller amount than football.Nothing about how our new basketball coach can go out and get a top 50 high school PG in the country that was demanding NIL?

Contrast that with football where a top 10 roster probably costs $20 million and next year (after the House Settlement), it will cost $22 million from the school and at least $10 million from NIL / booster clubs.
Football inherently has more injuries so that increases the costs as well.
nah, it's @sonics1993 or @Sonics1994I wonder if it's Ballmer. He loves b-ball.
