That's a biggie. Third in PPG for Big 12 '25-26, Utes leading scorer.
I’ve heard of 3 schools that may be spots for Milan if he doesn’t stick to the draft schedule and decides to transfer. This likely takes one of those schools out of it:
What are the other 2 schools? Maybe I saw them mentioned at some point, but can't recall.
Kentucky and Kansas
Those are just the 3 I had heard about. Not sure how reliable.
I know it's a very limited sample size against us, but he turned it over 7 times in our game compared to 3 assists.
To be fair, he was third in the Big XII in scoring and could fill it up at times
Those 2 are both so F’ing cringe. Kentucky because we just beat the holy crap out of them , and KU because…. Well just because. Can’t see Milan doing that playing them in conference the last 3 years.
What $$ is he looking for…. ???
Can we somehow scrape together… $ 3M to get him , if he stays in college?
Kentucky will likely be so desperate they will pay Milan almost any amount imaginable. Their roster looks putrid for a Kentucky team as of now
Utah is going to be horrible again aren't they
From what we have been told returning to Iowa State seems very unlikely. Both from a money POV and roster POV. Would need to cut the walk on Rise to bring Milan back I believe.
And that should be a no brainer - Bye bye walkon
I am sure all Iowa State fans would be very very sad about cutting Rise to make way for Milan. It's money. That is the problem. All of our money has now been spent. I get it. Wish we had a billionaire to just go here is 3 million Milan, Sorry walk on.
He was definitely their best player when I saw ISU play there back in February. That is a good get for Malone and UNC.
Milan's pretty genius for this. I'm guessing with Haugh coming back Milan probably does the same. Weaker draft next year and the ability to get a huge chunk to play one college year. And by the time he returns, you'll have some big names being incredibly desperate for an impact player and a "win" in the portal to keep their fans happy. That's going to lead to a massive payday.

I'm still not buying it. He just had the best shooting year ever and if he comes back, he may shoot like a human. Plus, someone in the NBA is going to take a chance on a once in a generation shooter like that.
They pretend to be a big NIL player, but it certainly seems like they fund football at the expense of basketball. Not the worst idea in the world to sacrifice one.
This is where I'm at. He's the undisputed best shooter in the draft, and that's the skill that will get him on a roster. There may not be much more room for his stock to increase, even with the strong draft class.
