You can’t spend money you don’t have. They need a culture more than they need NIL.
2025 Transfer Options

Yeah….. I don’t see where or how they’re going to get a bigger budget to work with
No coach gets it 100% right. The reality is if a coach is right 50% of the time, he's going to take teams to the NCAA Tournament.
I had my doubts about TJ when he was hired based on watching UNLV games. But he and his staff has proven that they get their recruiting better every year. And they identify year-to-year what will make next year's team better and compete for Big12 titles. They know the strengths of Houston, Arizona, TT, BYU and will bring in guys that can compete with their guys.
I was skeptical of the TJ hire as well, but trust his judgment on player evaluation unequivocally now. The proof is in the pudding. We will always need to get him more resources, but if we can do that, the sky is the limit.
thanks for the correction, I wasn't aware of that. But still, I think the amount of money to pay for good players is going to be higher in 2025 than even 2024. Hopefully our warchest is bigger than last year too.
Didn’t mean to infer TJ was missing on players. I felt he has done the best he can with what he has had to work with.
how do guys with his skill level and athleticism not end up at P4 or even the Missouri Valley level in the first place?
I was hoping we could maybe get Dedan Thomas but haven't seen us mentioned yet in his schools.
Do you also look at home prices from 30 years ago to determine what you can buy today?
The market from 4 years ago is irrelevant. The jump from even last season is going to make things more difficult.
Luckily there are always guys that slip through the cracks.
Hopefully revenue sharing provides a soft cap, although it will allow basketball-only schools to climb, and the FMV NIL will favor the biggest brands and schools
Oh, TJ has missed on players. But he gets enough right and does a great job of roster building. The roster building component is huge. I felt McDermott and Prohm did a decent job of recruiting during their tenures at Iowa State, but did a terrible job of roster building.
Somewhere today I read we will is within 15,000 of their march madness goal and If I remember right that unnlocks a big chunk of matching money. @brentblum am I correct?
I like the group. And that’s with only one being a plus shooter.
If it ends up being one of the best ever classes in terms of shooting, it’s a bonus
I don’t think we’ll be listed with too many guys.
I am basing my opinion on what I have heard on the various CF Podcasts and the overall recruit ranking. I am not a high school recruit guru.
I freaking love TJ as our coach. Being held accountable, and being part of something greater is what great basketball players should want.
Funny enough, I was trying to find more Toure film and stumbled upon this.
I think the intentionality behind this stuff makes sense to me and I know Toure's shot has been improving. No clue the validity of this guy necessarily but I found it interesting.
Our reason for success is that TJ does lay out the expectations for players/transfers. It isn't for everyone and best to put your cards on the table to all potential freshman/transfers. If your goal is solely to get paid, this clearly is not a match.
That's why Hadley ended up at Louisville.
