If you had to choose on NIL for hoops

Considering limited amount of money, who would you spend NIL on? Naz or Gores? I would say the big man is harder to replace so I'd go as much on Gores as I could knowing that I probably can't keep both


We're only losing Walker, Saxon and Belic to eligibility so we could be pretty good if we got a PG and retained Meyer and Gores. Dennis, Bennet, Rojas, Harakow with a returning Harris is solid foundation.

Agreed. While Naz is the better player right now, and might even be the better player in the long-term, guards are easier to replace than big men.

However, if we want a realistic shot at winning the conference, even in it's new form, we need to be able to keep both Naz and Gores. We also probably need to bring in another guy or two at their level to really compete.

I doubt we have the funds to do that in today's current NIL climate. Maybe Sunny can convince them to stay one more year with the idea that there will be an even bigger payday available to them after another year of development?

Gotta say gores. Love Naz too though! Keep them both!

We need a true big man. Gores is a great 3 or 4, but we need a banger inside.

Would be a game changer for sure.

It wasn't but just a few years ago that basketball people were proclaiming that the back-to-the basket big man was dead and a thing of the past. Every 6'8+ basketball player wanted to be the next Kevin Durant. Every coach wanted to play small ball. We have a entire generation of basketball players that were never trained to play down low and have no clue how to leverage their body to be a dominant force in the paint.

They are damn hard to find now.
