This is what we can get for what we are and what we can offer. Let's hope it is a good one.

I would be fine with that if that brings us back to the ncaa AND we put up BEFORE bigger programs come calling like we should have in 2017.

I have no idea what's true. I've been told anything from it's Jared Grasso to Chris Mack is a target. I don't think anyone truly knows.

Iggy, you want someone else to reveal a name. Why don't you reveal the name you're hearing? Because you want to respect your source. Others have to respect theirs also.

I've already posted that Kimani Young is on the list and Becker isn't. From what I'm hearing Thorr wants I would add Holloway.
Ok, Rambone and Studs: your turn

Dude you have issues with everything on here. If Rambone was told to keep something off the board he should keep it off the board. Him saying that he's hearing it's one of those four names really bothers you? Why? I appreciate anyone that leaves hints about what they are hearing including Iggy.

If I had to put money on it I think it's going to be Grasso.

I don't have problems with anyone. I just think if you hear something you should share it. What's the reason for secrecy?

I can drop hints, but can't name names.....I would lose my source, who's been accurate way more than not in the past.

That's what PM's are for lol. And I won''t reveal my source to anyone.

If we get Pitino Jr. I will puke.

If we get Grasso I will jump off the Pell Bridge.

I wouldn't give either of them more than one year if they were hired.

Holloway would be my choice if we didn't get the top 4 on my list.

All have been mentioned at one point or another. If Mack or Miller are unattainable I’d prefer Holloway.

Loved it and considering the context you are probably right. But from a pure basketball aesthetics standpoint nothing will ever beat this for me.

A reminder that Playmike said that Fatts taking that 3 was a bad shot. Clearly doesn't understand what hitting that shot means at that moment and the amount of momentum it gave our team.
