you are actally saying that flagg today has less worth than the 10-11-12 men on a nba team. come on. flagg does a commercial. cause his image has value. we dont
know or care those others are even on a roster. forget about his hoops skill which obviously dwarfs much of the nba already. is there a team that would say no if they were told if you agree to cut all but your top 9 and replace them with free agents and one of them can be flagg?

I'll take this a step further.
You tell every NBA team they have to cut their best player and replace him with Cooper Flagg. At least 2/3 would do it and not even blink.
Yup.
Powell would have probably been the number one player in the portal after his junior year and he wasn’t going to get drafted.
I’m pessimistic that SHU will get a player better than Coleman. It’s still early but Coleman was only going to get better and was a guy we could depend on to give us 14+/- points a game with some better talent around him. But some of our delusional fans are glad to see him go or think he’s not worth what another school is going to pay him.
agree, even with a dismal record , you can't keep losing your best player. We become a magnet for other programs to raid what talent we have. That and the stigma/reputation of not being able to hold onto your best makes us a tough sell. But then again maybe very school is going through this, however, this will be 3 years in a row for us.. In the business world, If I were losing my best guy every year , I would do some serious soul searching. This site has exhausted that analysis. I just don't know but will remain positive.
I'm not glad to see him go, but he is not worth more than the NBA rookie minimum.
The numbers people are talking about are insane. Just because some other school is willing to overpay for him doesn't mean we should. We're never going to be able to compete on price.
If a guy wants to leave SHU to get paid more, we just can not compete currently.
It's depressing but I don't see a way to fix that for us without a salary cap.
I agree with you on an emotional level. However, what happens in the NBA has absolutely nothing to do with what guys are getting paid in college. Two different ecosystems. Yes the numbers are insane but if SHU wants to compete they are going to have to pay to meet the “salary” demands of the marketplace.
NBA guys are going to wish they are back in college
Don't disagree, the market is the market but it just shows how out of whack it is that someone who isn't close to NBA talent can make more than a rookie in the league for a full year. Probably wouldn't bother me as much if SHU had the resources to compete though.
People would rather be entertained by players representing their school. Just because something or someone is better doesn't mean the dollars flow that way.
But this is the rub;
SHU is like the Twins in baseball and the SEC and Big 10 are the Yankees and Dodgers.
If they want to pay Coleman $1.5m they can and if he doesn’t work out, it isn’t a big deal.
If SHU allocates $1.5m to Coleman, the other guy we get for $1.5m has to be at least better than Coleman or we are done for.
And the we have to get one other player for $1m that’s about as good as Coleman.
But if Coleman is your most expensive player at $1.5m, SHU will be in trouble.
