This thread is titled “The Current State of USU Basketball”. It is not titled, “Every College Basketball Player Who Is Entering the Portal”. Perhaps I am alone is being disinterested in that level of minutiae. If the Aggies are affected I’m all in. If other MWC teams are affected I am marginally interested. If a player has limited his selection to Indiana St., Rutgers, North Dakota St., and Texas San Antonio I am very much uninterested.

Past efforts have been made to herd the cats on this board. Those efforts have proven unsuccessful. There is one particularly large tabby named SLB that (I can't express myself without swearing) everywhere.

I wish you luck in this endeavor.

What I found fascinating about this entire discussion is that even though we are returning practically every key contributor from a top 25 team that won an NCAA tournament game despite losing our coach, everyone seems to assume that any player at USU who has a decent season is automatically going to transfer. Personally, I could almost certainly get a job that pays significantly more money if I were willing to relocate anywhere in the country, but I like my job and where I live, so I don't.

And even if a player does well and decides to leave for more NIL money, why is that a bad thing? Should we not recruit a McDonald's All-American who wants to come to USU because we are worried he might leave for the NBA after a year? Just recruit the best players that you can sign. Whether or not he will stay in Logan for one year or five years should not even be a consideration. I'd much rather have players being poached or going to the NBA than a roster of four-year players that nobody else wants.
This is a sliding scale sort of thing. If a player likes USU and could get maybe 20% more or even 30% more somewhere else, there’s an argument for staying at USU. If it’s true that Great is getting offers of $500k elsewhere and the most we can offer is $150k, he’d be a Great fool not to leave. There’s no argument not to leave if you can more than triple your earnings by going elsewhere. It’s just sentiment keeping you in Logan at that point.

I think Great owes it to himself and his family and should leave if he truly has offers for $500k+ that we can’t even come close to matching. I also think Great owes it to USU and the fans that have supported him to make that decision quickly and let the coaching staff know. I don’t think either of these opinions will be popular, but they are the correct opinions on the matter. :)
FWIW, Great has at least one offer at or very near $1,000,000 for next season.

Is that an ask, or an offer? I suspect that many of the numbers we are seeing are asks, not offers.

Uh no, FWIW relative to the discussion about moving for more money. It’s probably a 5-6x decision

Then there’s no decision to be made. Good luck, Great! Get your bag!

This reminds of me about the story of Babe Ruth driving his manager in Ruth's luxury in a parade.
Before Ruth, the managers made more money than all the players.

Great is 100% going to make nearly a million bucks in the portal, IF the right teams gets desperate enough, it might be more.

I stood behind his family in line to get into the Delta Center game. His father is also a tall Mongolian. I’d love to see him come to USU.

I remember thinking during the game that the Aggies could put his height and skills to use better than what the Dons were doing. He seemed quite mobile.

Mongolian Mike would be a great addition and fill that long wing role we are looking for.
I stood behind his family in line to get into the Delta Center game. His father is also a tall Mongolian. I’d love to see him come to USU.

I remember thinking during the game that the Aggies could put his height and skills to use better than what the Dons were doing. He seemed quite mobile.
What's the Utah connection?

Thanks. Wondering if that is just more them being connected through basketball in the dallas area and practicing together rather than a connection to USU?

I'd bet it's just a basketball connection. The story was posted by a coach/trainer in TX and he tagged both of them.

As far as I know, there is no Utah connection. This was in line to see the USU/San Francisco game in Salt Lake City in December.

Sharavjamts didn’t play well, but he looked like he had some skill. He had zero points in 25 minutes on 0-for-6 shooting. That might have been the difference in the game.

The tallest people in the world are in a region with Mongolia and China.

Mike Sharavjamts and Carter Welling would be great additions to the team.

This is a win-win. I wasn't particularly impressed by him (not that he would have come here anyway). So, not only did BYU retain a player that I'm not big on, they might have had to pay him a fat stack of cash to do so. That's good stuff.

He looks like he’s probably buddies with Zack Wilson’s mom’s friends too. You can’t get that just anywhere. Not even in the backwoods of Kentucky. Some things are more important than money.

They're looking for a missionary in the streets and an apostate in the sheets. I bet Zack Wilson's mom's friends' husbands want to take him to Disneyland.
