That’s my thought as well. He’s found his “Money ball” formula and I wouldn’t ask him to change. But he’ll need some for retention of the current group of guys coming back. I would also like to see him have the resources to not miss on guys he really wants because of money. The Bynum kid from Omaha at tOSU would have been a nice piece to add.

I feel like McDermott got away from who he is as a coach this year because he was given a blank check. What id tell Fred is “Don’t change a thing. But know if you need some $$ for a guy you really want it’s here.”
Frager will get a lot of attention if he keeps this up!

We don't have a lot coming back...

Essegian is back on a reduced amount.

Frager will be paid enough to keep him.

Sandfort values playing for Hoiberg. He'll be taken care of, I believe at a reduced rate because of the ties. Him seeking professional ball concerns me way more than NIL.

Oogie, TBD. If he redshirts, it can very easily be just like Essegian if Fred wants him back.

Berke, unknown. Head to Europe to get paid, stay at Nebraska, or hit the portal. There aren't a lot of systems Berke can excel in. He's damn near in a perfect place in Lincoln so I lean Nebraska vs European ball.

Remember, people didn't think we can pay Williams, Gary & Mast coming off the 2024 season. And we did, while adding other guys (Essegian, Berke, Morgan, Worster, Meah)

Very solid point and post.

I also think Fred likes things exactly how they are. Maybe if you asked him what he needs to elevate further he’d tell you things that aren’t NIL.
