Wow - if you’re right and there’s folks questioning paying JP $1 million? This current $NIL doesn’t seem sustainable.

Yeah, that was the spirit in my earlier reply about people overestimating the value of $1 mil in this current environment. Lots of kids you'd never believe will be getting that much, next year and it just keeps growing exponentially. As you said, they will soon price themselves out of the market without some guardrails like collective bargaining, salary cap, etc.

A best case hope is probably a guy like that I have posted in my OP, Lazerek Houston…D2 guy who was a prolific scorer this year as a freshman, not gonna command money likely a proven D1 guy, maybe he hits and maybe he doesn’t, but likely to cost a whole lot less than a Rice or Wilkinson. If you could add those 3: Foxwell, Houston & Lundblade along with a rim protector you’re potentially cooking, adding a bunch of offensive firepower.

Just curious, which is your preference; Rice or Lundblade? I can make a case for either, probably.

I meant Rodney and mixed up his ligament injury. Point the same, I personally would be a little hesitant overspending on guy coming off season ending injury expecting them to be leading scorer. That's just me though.

I definitely agree with you. Not sure if I want to take a risk on someone that might not be the same type scorer.

Then my question about Lundblade is he a good enough athlete (haven’t watched any film)

Nah, although I see the Australian connection. His brother plays in the Australian league and is committed to LSU although he doesn't have a recruiting profile.

LSU Tigers Add Australian Guard Owen Foxwell To 2026 Recruiting Class

Despite coaching uncertainty, the LSU Tigers secured Australian pro guard Owen Foxwell for 2026, adding seasoned international talent to the Tigers' backcourt.

OK, that's what I was wondering. Thanks! Didn't realize he was committed to them, so the other Aussie is just a coincidence...lol

Let's do a little projecting, though. Suppose McMahon gets canned. He's from Oak Ridge. Let's also suppose that Justin Gainey gets that elusive HC job he has been wanting somewhere. Does McMahon to Tennessee make any sense, then? Does it help secure the Foxwell brothers? This season in basketball is always so fascinating.

Maybe take a look at Ryan Blount from Tampa in Div II. He entered the portal a couple weeks ago. He was the DII National player of the week a couple of times this season. He's 6'6 and a sophomore that averaged 21 a game this season after averaging 11 as a freshman. He's shot 41 percent from 3 two straight seasons.
