Just need to remember...this last offseason, it wasn't from a lack of trying.   But we're going to have to be pretty serious about it this time around.

Would you spend 60-70% of your NIL resources to get your top 3 players? More? Less?

 

We need to hit the jackpot in the portal this year. And we need at least one each of a point, a scoring wing, and a big man.

If you can get 3 of those guys for 70% of your budget with what we have returning I would say that's very much a tournament team

Don't know if this guy knows anything or not, BUT ...

 

Cluff is listed at 6'11 and 260, so he has very good size.

 

He's also a juco product, and I'm wondering if that means he's really only a sophomore eligibility-wise rather than a senior.

 

Sounds like either Iowa State or Purdue bound.

Sandfort finished his visit and is now off to Illinois. Man I never feel great when they leave uncommitted. 

Yeah I don't love it either. We'll see what Illinois can do for him.

Per Christopherson....Nebraska has reached out to Sutton

Like that they're at least trying. He's not from the area and has no connection here, so I'm not gonna think too much about him until he's on campus for a visit

I agree.   I'm glad we are seemingly at least exploring it.  He checks a lot more boxes for us than Sandfort...so if we're going to spend...he's the one to do it on.

If he wants to be the primary scorer on his next team, I don't agree that we should spend for him. Should approach it the same way we did with Fidler imo. I think he projects similarly at the Big Ten level. Similar size, athleticism and shooting ability. Frankie was a better shooter at the Summit level and imo a bit better defender. Sutton really struggled against power conference competition. If he's ok with being a role player for the right price, you definitely take him.

Sandfort has an elite skill that is needed on our team. But agree that we also shouldn't overspend for him.

To be fair, St. John's and Iowa State are two of the nastiest defenses in the country and any of our bigs would have struggled against them too. Sutton did have 13 and 9 against Minnesota, and 26 and 6 against Akron. Last year he had 15 and 5 against Texas Tech. 

 

He would be a welcome addition on our roster, but certainly not someone we should expect to replicate his season stats of 18.9 and 7.9. If we got half of that from him, it would be similar to what Andrew Morgan gave us, but he would be a much better defender/athlete than Morgan.

He's a far better scorer and all around player than Sandfort and far more athletic than Fidler.

A.  That's more than anyone else we have will give us (sans mast).

B.   I'd bet he gives us more than 9.45 and 3.95 next year.

Was super inefficient in those games against Minnesota and Tech, which is why I say we just shouldn't pay for him to be a primary scorer. Agree that he'd be a welcome addition to be a Juwan Gary junior year-type player.

I agree. He also shot 74% on free throws last year. Morgan shot 57%. 

 

The only area of his game that makes me concerned is he was a worse 3-point shooter than Berke this season and took 24 more attempts. He'd either need to improve his efficiency or take fewer attempts. We can't really afford another guy who loves seeing his 3-point shot not go in as much as Berke does.

Minnesota yes. He was 7-11 against Tech. I agree though and I highly doubt we'd be recruiting him to be a primary scorer.

While I agree....he brings more to the table than Berke does offensively.   Sutton is uber athletic and can get to the rim.   While Sutton shot 'more' 3s than Berke did....a lot of that was because of games played.   Berke shot nearly 50% of his shots from outside the arc.  Sutton was about 20%.

You're underestimating Frankie's athleticism. Sutton is not far more athletic. 

He is a better all around player than Sandfort. But if Pryce were to transfer to Omaha next year, his numbers would be similar to Sutton's.  Pryce is a different player than his brother Payton, but production-wise he's on the exact same career trajectory, while being more efficient than Payton.
