Baylor is in just as bad of a roster position if not worse.

“Worse”. Baylor is starting over completely.
But they don’t have a tang problem.

I believe Tucker Devries must petition the NCAA for a medical hardship. I believe his plan is to follow his dad to Indiana once the the NCAA rules on his medical redshirt. I would be willing to bet Tucker had to highball it out of West "by-God" Virginia after taking a bag and then going on "Injured Reserve" for the rest of the season.

This is the thought I can't quite shake. If Nojus and Jackson are getting a million, and you have some teams with an entire 9-12 man roster to fill-- how the hell can you do that? You're gonna need 15-20 million to just have a roster?
I think we are all operating under the belief Tamin, Milan and Heise are probably earning under what they could have made on the open market, and I think that's what it's going to take going forward to have a solid roster. There just no way you can start over every year and be paying people full market rate.
Tucker has already committed to Indiana and I’m pretty sure got granted a medical redshirt for this past year.
He's the same size and a similar skillset to AJ Green, who has played in 164 games in the last 3 years. He needs the right spot and opportunity - lots of guys with his skillset don't make it - but I think he definitely has a chance. (note that Green has taken 637 threes and 108 twos)
Green was getting some actual good PT in their first playoff game. Some of that probably had to do with Lillard being out.
Doesn't everyone in the NBA take that percentage 3's vs 2's?
Some relevant / interesting transfer destinations:
Cincinnati has picked up two huge interconference transfers:
Jalen Celestine from Baylor
Moustapha Thaim from UCF
And Dan Skillings went from Cincy to Baylor - but Cincy wins that trade
Trevsen Eaglestaff from North Dakota had committed to South Carolina, then switched to West Virginia
Mike Sharavjamts (the first Mongolian D1 player, I believe) is going from Utah to South Carolina
Iowa got a big transfer in Alvaro Folguieras from Robert Mason, a very skilled stretch 4
K-State added Akron point guard Nate Johnson
Kevin Overton has gone from Drake -> Texas Tech -> Auburn, which is quite the career escalation

It’ll be like the NBA in which there is a huge salary range.
If there’s an actual cap, salary pool optimization is going to really favor the coaching staffs that know when to pay, and when not to
For example, I like Nojus, but there’s no way I’d pay too much more than what you could get similarly via a freshman. And Jackson is probably a guy we’d return before salaries, albeit still looking to augment him with a better defensive center like Buchanan. But it was clear he could get more in free agency than it would make sense for us to pay a 20 min/gm role player
I knew that he "Verbally" committed to Indiana; however, I have not seen an article about the NCAA granting him his medical redshirt. I have no doubt the NCAA will grant it- but you never know with the NCAA.
I mean technically everyone is just verbally committing to schools right now until they actually enroll. He’s going to get the waiver too. Played in the maximum amount of games he could. Should be a no brainer for a medical redshirt.
I think we are probably waiting for the prices to drop a lot and might get another lower level player that does not demand as much money. Not possitive on that though.
Blum said they are going to try to raise funds to get a another guard but if we cant we will roll with what we have…
WAC Player of the Year.
I realize, yes, it's "only WAC," but it's something. His shooting percentages don't jump off the page, but 14 ppg and to get POY you must be doing something right.
