Yeah. This is like a problem of optimizing your portfolio. You have X dollars and you want the highest return on where you invest those dollars, how do you split those dollars across multiple stocks to get you the best return?

But it's more complicated because stocks don't care how much you invest in another stock, so there is still a practical limit on what you can spend in the portal because you have guys on your roster who you have to make good with, see EJ and Dowdell last season. Even if your total limit is really high, you can't possibly "make good" with everyone if you're overpaying for everyone in the portal even if they're awesome.

But none of that negates that you can still find value buys by being a smart investor at low prices
At this point there’s maybe 10 dudes on the roster they should be worried about upsetting by paying someone more.

Maybe. But we also can't see the future and while we might want to strip Rex Guthrie naked now and drag him down O street behind a wagon for the crowd to throw rotten fruit at, he could someday be a very good if not great player

why does everyone seem think that saying we now have competitive financial resources equates to us being able to acquire the most expensive guy at each position? Show me where anyone said anything close to us to a promise that we would be able to outbid everyone else for the best guy at most positions in the same year.

That also assumes that the guy actually wants to play here.
 
What the hell do you guys want him to say?

Why do all the podcasts and national interviews. He’s trying to keep us relevant in conversations and our fans are just drooling at the mouth trying to dissect everything little thing he says.
I'm far less concerned about what he says. It's what he does that matters. We have roughly a week and a half to get right roster wise.

Thank you. I was getting so sick of this. Plus, they might not even be interested is us.
 
I have no problem with taking Kaelin but I do think the issue would be that he really isn't a fit for what they seem to be looking for.
Well be interesting to see what he wants to do. If he wants to actually play it would probably be smarter to go to one of the smaller schools and if that goes well transfer back up in a year or so.
 
I’d bet dollars to donuts dooshman took a screenshot of him having a conversation with himself there

Speaking of dooshman and screenshots…

I guess I’m honored and quite confident that one of our own is using my profile pic for their twitter profile.

Confident because my pic is from a video that I personally had to pause at this exact moment, take a screenshot, and then clean up to get it and this is the only place I have used it.

No hate, not a big deal, and I tried to crop it to avoid completely identifying the X user, but found it funny if not maybe a touch hypocritical to be asking people to stop following someone because they steal content…
