So we're looking at

PG: ?
SG: ?
SF: Baskin
PF: Jakimovski
C: ?

I don't really feel comfortable anointing anyone a starter other than those two at this point.

You can pencil in Diop and Dak as starters. Hell, you might go ahead to do it in Sharpie.
 
Depends on which 5 signs and possibly who CU is playing as to which 5 starts. I think if they sign a big bodied 5 it will create a nice set of bigs to throw variability in attack. Kinda like Clingan and Johnson at UConn. Big and thick followed by rangy and bouncy. But CU needs a big body for sure.
 
Tad’s got at least $2 million in NIL funds, if he willing to use it. He hates NIL and the transfer portal, and lets everyone know.
$2 million is a bunch, but not really. It’s gotta be managed well to insure there’s NIL available as needed. Right now it seems Tad is getting good return on investment with the guys he’s getting. High level small college guys are gonna be psyched to get any NIL and will be hungry to prove they belong so it makes sense to pursue them. I don’t think the portal strategy will continue, because Boyle likes to develop players, and ultimately continuity of roster will pay dividends as other teams turn over yearly. Older, experienced, and connected teams generally perform better.
 
I’ve been told the GOAL is to have $2M in funds.

They have not hit the goal.
That seems more like it. That number might even be sustainable over the long term. The massive numbers being thrown around at other school seems like it can’t hold up over time. Boosters will get tired of writing massive checks every year.

Boyle was given a minimum of a $2.0 mm budget by 5430. Boyle can recruit on that basis for this cycle, if chooses to do so. There is a fundamental misunderstanding of how a collective works - the money is never sitting in the bank. The coaching staff was given a minimum $2 mm NIL budget, they can recruit with that NIL budget, and then the collective raises the required funds during that cycle to begin playing players.
 
As of now: Hammond, Ruffin, Baskin, Jakimovski, Malone? Diop and Dak first off the bench?
That backcourt is absolute sh!te. Hammond CANNOT run the show and as much as I love Ruffin, he'll never be the same after the second knee surgery. I would also think RJ takes over the starting SG role in 2024.

Any realistic guards in the portal you like?

I don't disagree with your first 2 sentences here, but I'm not as optimistic on RJ.
 
Team chemistry and cohesion is going to be very interesting to watch.

Lot of new pieces to fit together for Tad and co.
 
Ruffin
Smith
Baskin
Jakimovski
Malone

Bench - Hammond, Anderson, Diop, Dak

Backcourt is scarier than hell. I actually like Smith and Anderson - I think between the two of them we should have ok off guard ball play.

We desperately need a PG. Or two. Or seven. Ruffin and Hammond will get eaten alive.

So are you thinking everyone just presses us till they’re up 30 at half?
