Got to tour the new Athletic complex outside Memorial Stadium yesterday if that doesn't get players we want to come here (Well tons of NIL helps as well), I don't know what will. That place is amazing!  

I suppose we know this for sure if Mast is actually here, able to play.   But it's doubtful he'll play.  The knee is a big problem and wasn't fixed by the December procedure.   Props to him for persisting and finishing the season.  I doubt we make the dance if he would have ended it mid-season.   I think the plan is for surgery, and the type that has him out 10-12 months.   He has a great doc, through Fred's connections.   But barring a surprise, you won't see him on court next fall. 

How would you feel if we got Milicic?

Hopefully, but these kinds of decisions are made every day at portal time.   How far to go on NIL with each player/agent, figuring out what's real, drawing a line knowing that's effectively letting a guy go.   I'm probably stating the obvious, but this is so much about money now, rather than a better fit at a new program, etc.   And on the program end, there comes a point where the price is higher than the player is good, and you have to keep some dry powder.   
 
The good news is in the play for pay era, our new AD is totally committed to that, and will overtly support 1890 until the system changes and allows direct institutional participation or changes to an employee model.   Fred is very pleased with Dannen so far.   Fred has almost double what he had to work with on the pay players budget from a year ago.  We're all in on the current system.
 
We're really trying to get a visit from Payne, but the NIL demands are very, very high.  We're getting a visit from Essigian, assuming he doesn't commit to Indiana on his visit there.   Kyle supposed to come next weekend but concerned about Wake giving him a huge number, like they did Sallis.  

He would've been cool actually. 

We're still very active.    Believe a couple of guys are visiting today.   Shooting guard and big post player.   Somehow the post player has been under the radar.  

That I don't know, and I've been wrong already today....but hearing good things.

No, the visit got cancelled.  It was Victor Lahkin of Cincinnati, who was set to visit until he committed to Clemson yesterday.  Sorry for the false alarm.

Looks like a moot point but you change what you do a little bit for guys like him.  You don’t turn down physical monsters just because he doesn’t space the court great.  

We're interested but probably not interested in paying what it will take to land Payne. 

🤮
Great burgers; but the smell and taste of Runza's make me sick...it is the cooked cabbage thing...🤢

Every couple of years I order them and have them shipped to me. It's STEEP but I don't make it back to Nebraska. And like you it's one of the things I miss the most.

Not joking, Runza in general (and Temperature Tuesday in particular) is one of the things I miss the most after moving out of state.
