Who knows if true but I cannot believe Saint Danny would ever consider taking a FA from his beloved Seton Hall 
I hope he goes to Pitino. And we can let that fester and rage.
The board meltdown if he went with Pitino would be nuclear level.
And the narrative/talking point switch around Hurley if he went to UConn would be interesting to see.

Yup on both accounts. Forget about the on court stuff, if he ends up with Slick it will further derail the board. It’s worth not happening for that reason alone.
You must be a glutton for punishment. I’d rather have hot candle wax dripped on certain areas.
Whoever thought we would devolve to a feeder program for others in the conference?
Exactly!Who knows if true but I cannot believe Saint Danny would ever consider taking a FA from his beloved Seton Hall
I bet we gave him about $500k and he ends up getting $2.5-$3M.
There's no way Danny is taking him for next year. For as good as everyone here thinks Hines is, he's not bringing Danny a national championship next year. Danny could do much better in the portal. If Danny takes him, it's an investment for his junior or senior year. I don't see many coaches making those investments especially since you have no commitment from the player that you know he's going to stay.
Pretty sad when you’re a minor league franchise for your own league mates.
Did Michigan have a major contributor that played at Illinois the prior year?
It is the market.
SHU needs to leak they are willing to pay that and he just wanted to go elsewhere because if they aren’t willing to pay that its stupid.
You put him on UConn surrounded by quality teammates and he will look great! Plus a staff that will develop him and make him better!
One player Does not bring a national championship! It takes 5 players and a strong bunch of role players. Hines surrounded with quality players would be more than enough to make the dance and do damage.
I believe he got around 700k.
I think he is looking for a payday. Whatever school throws the most money at him is where he will end up
Hines couldn’t stay on the court for 20 minutes most games. He’s nowhere near Sanogo or Clingan. If you replaced Reed with Hines UConn isn’t beating Duke. There’s no way Danny isn’t looking for much better than Paynes backup
That will change. Hurley or Pitino will make him a star player. Holloway could’ve too, it’s not a slight to Sha.
Yeah, I'm sure he will get there. I'm just not sure it happens next year. He's still pretty young and does need to get better to earn minutes at a better program. Bluntly I think programs like UConn and SJU would be able to get a Center that would be more prepared to step in for 25 mpg+ so I'm not sure his best offer will be a top tier program unless they are just throwing cash around because they can.
One good summer of conditioning and good diet could have Hines ready to play 30 minutes or more a game.
Could I see paying the fully realized potential version of Hines that amount? I guess. Should a school like SHU pay the sophomore version of Hines that amount? No. Should any? No. Will someone? I guess.
I think Hines would backup Reibe as a soph. Hines will be very good as a jr or sr. I know the BE was down last year but Hines was probably the 4th best big behind Zuby, Reed, & Brennan.
Myles Powell had the same issue. You could see changes in butterball by October of his freshman year. Hines has been through 10 months of college workouts and I don't see one ounce of change. We've seen guys like Powell put in the work and guys like Melvyn Oliver not put in the work. But 10 months of little to no change isn't something I would invest in especially when there are proven options out there.
The thing is, his per 40 stats put him the same echelon as the best upperclass big men in the country. The risk with Hines isn’t so much whether he’ll reach the ability level of a $3 million player. He’s basically there already. As a freshman. The risk is whether he can withstand the workload you’d want from a guy with that kind of salary.
Tarris Reed had those same concerns coming into UConn btw and it worked out great. Hines is also wired like the type of kid Danny prefers. Tough, all about winning. To me, this seems like a no brainer for Hurley. I’ll bet he lands there.
Danny is very big on a player's character and family. He also tends to shy away from players who will look for the highest dollar amount every year. I don't think he'll be the highest bidder for Hines but he is an excellent salesman who offers the best environment to win and develop as a player for the next level. Will the Hines family value that over some of the P4 programs who offer a higher dollar amount?
.
I dont care if our players go to other BE teams. Watching them star for a big 10 or sec school, that would suck.
I see similarities to Reed as well.
A poster above writes "Hines is also wired like the type of kid Danny prefers...." Even if he never got in top playing shape? Someone else posts that Danny or Pitino could develop him; "Holloway could've too." Then why didn't Shaheen develop him more?
I don't see Hurley paying him in the 2 million range.
My guess is he re surfaces at NC State for a boatload.

I’d be fine with him going to any BE team. Rather keep top talent in conference than be butthurt over it.
I'd rather him leave the Big East. Those are the only games I watch during the regular season anymore & I don't want to be reminded any further how much the portal & NIL suck.
So your making it personal and emotional but from a purely results standpoint, it’s highly significant for SHU’s success that the conference do well. And having the best players, especially big men, is the key to March.
Each time a Big East team loses a talented player to a power conference, we fall behind more and have to make up that talent deficit. To me it’s a no-brainer. Keep talent in conference and gtf over it
