That was a great team, but not very optimistic are you

I’m not an insider and won’t claim to be, all I will say is this. One of the jaybackers that I do have a close relationship with indicates that number you pointed out is not far off where we will be yearly with NIL and rev share

From what I’ve heard, folks will be quite pleasantly surprised at the resources Creighton has available going forward.

Fitting end to King’s career at CU (I presume) with the dropped pass and turnover with the 9.5-point spread on the line.

Going to be a very interesting offseason.

That seemed very similar to the two St.Johns road games. Have the lead at the half, hang for a while in the second, and then get it hit with a run and fall apart. If the cold streak was slightly shorter we are right there. Frustrating another game that was there for the taking and the season is over. The end of an era, will be a challenge for Mac to figure out the defense and the 5 without Kalk.

No shame in this loss. Very nice season for the Jays, considering all the adversity. Auburn has several outstanding/elite athletes, and our margin for error was pretty much zero.

Privately there are rumblings that if the 5th year gets approved universally that Jamiya and Ash would have interest in coming back, would make more here than in an overseas deal.

Think we have a good core to build off of with Fedor, McAndrew, Green.

Does pop stay?

For sure need a 1 and 5 and depth pieces
