4 scholarships to fill.
And I'd take Rice and Tominaga over Griffiths
I certainly would tske Keisei; but he no longer is eligible, so wishing for it won't bring him back.
Eli was somewhat of an enigma. I loved his shot. Yet the ball sort of got stuck with him at times. He did remind me a bit of Bryce McGowan without the upper echelon talent. He was slow on defense but rebounded reasonably well.
Griffith seems as talented offensively and his rebounding seems, at least, equal to Eli. He also has decent handles. What separates him, at least a bit, is his ability on the defensive end. I do think he has more lateral quickness than Eli and displays a "want" to defend.
I guess we will see how it plays out the next few years.

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

The cost of bling!
Great players come at a great monetary cost. But there can also be a cost relating to team commraderie and chemistry.
Player A may have a lot of talent and wants to be the main dude and get the highest number of shots; but it could isolate that player from the remainder of the team...and what you get, is what we had, the first couple years under Fred.
So it becomes a high pressure, highly important balancing act when we are building the team via the portal.
We seem to be getting the right type of players as we build our roster. But if certain players want certain $$$ or guarantees, I assume they are advised to move on.
So when I see a player we seemed to want, move on to greener pastures, my initial reaction is angst. It then dawns on me that perhaps the coaches and administration likely are fully vetting the potential roster invitee, and perhaps decided independently or mutually, that Player A best play elsewhere.

Maybe with some NIL money he can afford to get lasik.
Or perhaps he becomes a spokesperson for a lasik surgeon as part of the overall package.

Igor
Kyle
After those two, I am pretty flexible. I would maybe flex towards youth/projects/specialists.

I *really* wanted this kid, but figured it was a no go once we signed Worster. The only one higher on my list is William Kyle...hopefully that one works out better.
Igor and Kyle. Not that I'm begging. Okay, I am begging.

At this point I'm accustomed to being turned down by John Hugley
I wouldn't be surprised if we turned him down rather than vice-versa...just saying!

I think Milicic is really good....but if Mast, Morgan and Kyle all come....I don't see why he is coming here. There's going to be a log jam of minutes there, especially since Gary can play the 4 at times too.
Juwan came back with the goal of exponentially improving his perimeter shooting. He improved last year and believes he has a real shot at the NBA with further improvement. He knows his future is at the 2/3 rather than at the 4. So yes, he will certainly see minutes at the 4, but I think he really liked being slotted at the 3, like he was this past year.
Given the tenuous situation with Rienk, I would love the addition of both Kyle and Igor.

This dude appears to be that sixth or seventh man who is a specialist. Sort of a CJ type of player. The hope is that he can come in and light it up from three point line and provides a hard driven 15 to 16 minutes a game. I may be totally off base; but that is my initial reaction.
