What is really hard to swallow, is that we are a program that everyone knows doesn't have deep pockets, so when we 'overperform' based on the money we have, we have a target on our backs the whole time. We can't match the money other programs spend. We are like the baby gazelle lost on the Serengeti. Someone is coming along for a quick meal.

Is everyone acting like this is a done deal because it's actually a done deal or is this just everyone getting whipped into a frenzy at once because it's scary?

I disagree. Long shot to make the NBA which is why if he does truly have a huge offer I can’t blame him for taking it, even though it would absolutely suck.

If he became a deadly 3 point shooter teams would absolutely love him as a big wing player. But that’s a huge if and it makes all the difference.

He’d be above average ball handler and passer for a player his size in nba. He doesn’t have nba explosiveness which is why his 3 ball needs to be much better.

I've just been becoming number and number to college athletics ever since NIL. Caring less and less every month that goes by.... and it's been great!

If they want to destroy college sports... they are succeeding!! Good riddance! Let it all crumble. Do the Alabama's and Ohio State's of the world think anyone will care to watch them if their favorite teams are no longer around at all?? Let's find out. FAFO! They will all lose in the end... it would be glorious!

This does suck, but we are also insanely lucky we have TJ. He is so good at navigating the portal and finding guys that fit and produce. Rob jones played in 2 sweet 16s. Tyrese Hunter was a much larger loss at the time than Jefferson would be. Is a bummer, because I think Jefferson would’ve gotten better. But there are 1000 kids in the portal. TJ will find the right pieces to keep us competitive. Hilton is still elite, and we have better fans than most.

At what point does T.J. decide to go to another program where money is no object?
