Assume that New Mexico either has terrible NIL or Toppin already has a NIL deal lined up

Would be an obvious contact by us assuming it's the former

Our type of guy: Stretch 4, average rebounder, above average passer, could use some help to better his 3pt shot, 2 years left

That's one I think I'd like us to kick the tires on. Him or toppin.

If they were items on a menu at restaurant

Okpara is the prime rib special, Toppin is the "Market Value - Please ask your waiter"

Ryan Kalkbrenner is an early entrant in the 2024 NBA Draft, the league announced Tuesday morning.

McDermott if Kalkbrenner goes pro and they have to call up Frederick King back from the transfer portal. My apologies if you've never seen The Program before.

How do these two guys compare with Elijah Saunders and Nate Santos?

Saw that.  Will make a massive difference to how good CU will be next year on whether or not he returns or stays in the draft.

 Elijah Saunders - I'm sorry, you needed to order the soufflé ahead of time

 Nate Santos - 12 oz ribeye, baked potato, choice of soup or salad

Can't imagine it's fun to play in the pit when your coach is a jackwagon.

Braxton Meah commits to Skers…. via Daily Nebraskan.

Looks like we landed plan D

I don't understand this POV at all. I would take Hawkins in a heartbeat and thank my lucky stars that we landed him! He's freaky athletic, good shooter, and plays with a motor. What's the downside?

Honestly we need a rim protector, but he definitely was not the first man on the list.  Minimal offensive threat make him the definition of a role player

No.  It's plan BM.

[Bad joke intended: short for Braxton Meah."]

Maybe it's because he's the kind of guy you hate on the other team but you love that he's on your team, and it's hard for some to want to cheer for him. But honestly, besides, KT, we didn't have anyone else last year, maybe except for Allick too, who fired up the team by their personality. We could use Hawkins for multiple reasons.

Think of him as a swap for Blaise. He has more experience and knows his role. He's an upgrade from Blaise.

Do we know thar?  Blaise was injured the whole time he was here.  So is he going to be a better inspirational cheerer of the team?
