Unfortunately it’s the same thing at just about every power conference school. Kansas athletic dept. projected to run at 15M deficit next year.
I look at these rosters playing tonight. It’s hard to compare cause they all mostly have the money we don’t, but even with all the buying with NIl, teams like Purdue still have a semblance of continuity though they are at an advanrage being a bigger school.
Still schools like Iowa and Nebraska seem to have a good mix of long term to transfers.
We need to prove we can just have some continuity.
I do think keeping your best young prospect is huge like in the nba, but if Hines leaves, if we can keep Clark, Parker, Simpkins, and Dar that can still be decently competitive, at least better than our 2024-2025 roster.
Honestly if Hines is beyond our reach, it can possibly let us retain all of the other four guys I mentioned that probably wouldn’t happen, if we signed Hines and Clark.

I'm good with keeping all the guys you mentioned, but the only one we should pay any sort of significant NIL for is Budd Clark. Like Simpkins (actually shot the ball well). Like the other two as depth pieces. But those 3 are all replaceable given their profiles. Of course all things being equal I take back the guys who played for Sha already.
Everyone can relax on the countdown part. It’s just his birthday lol.
I continue to be surprised(?) at this board's infatuation with a Whitehead role at Seton Hall. (What is he doing now?) Reminds to a lesser degree with the frequency in the past that Toney-el's name surfaced.
I mean, of course it is.
Not that I knew, either, but this just follows the perpetual pattern of this board (and every other one) trying to glean intel from players' socials and always being wrong.
Early on, it looked [to me] that Hines was treating his late decision to come to the Hall as a prep school post grad year.
My question: did Shaheen also see/know this, and is the reason he didn't play (or develop) him more?
I don't know if doctorcb12 is being funny or not, but the countdown could not have been his birthday. He was born on New Year's Day.
No it really is. I know google says Jan 1st but his whole instagram feed is people wishing him Happy Birthday
You mean everying on the internet is not true?
There are people here who wouldn't be able to tell you the color of the sky even while they are outside.
A source who has a friend as a student manager told me that the manager said that hines would rather take 600k from st johns than 10mil from seton hall.....in other words he is gone
Exactly. The kid is going to stay or he's going to go. Anyone can line up on whatever side they want, and then crow about being right about it for the foreseeable future. An anonymous poster's friend-of-a-friend isn't going to move the needle with me at all. That said, if he does end up at St. John's, to me, that's a declaration of war. And then we'd have to listen to the insufferable Pitino say how he would have stayed at SHU, if only the money was there.
If a mgr of my team was passing on this type of info, I think I need a new mgr. Hines' business is none of my business.
Hines is talented, but I don't think that I would classify him as the player with the most potential since Eddie Griffin. Just in recent history, I'd say Sandro showed more "potential" of what he could develop into that Hines. Hines looks like he can be a very effective low post player. That's valuable, and I hope he stays. I wouldn't blow next year's budget on him though.
Perhaps you missed the word potential or we have different meanings of the word.
not agreeing with all of shuttles post, but Sandro was not close to awful as a frosh.
Me? No. I am saying he was miles from being awful. He was a minor part of the team as a frosh and I was damned happy he was a Pirate. Hines was far more important to his team.
It's possible to be successful with a lower budget but I don't think it's possible with Sha's coaching/roster construction philosophy.
