Re: Great Osobor
Has the Tweet announcing Great's commitment last year been pinned at the top of his feed the whole year? I don't remember seeing it pinned there all year...maybe I'm wrong.

Re: Great Osobor
With how weak this draft class is, he probably should go this year.

Re: Great Osobor
This is my thinking as well. Somebody needs to be able to set up the travel and the workout that come with declaring for the draft.

Re: Great Osobor
I haven’t been able to find out anything about this group mainly do they have ties to the Boston Celtics? One thing about playing for Calhoun is he has great NBA ties. Calhoun is well aware that Greats goal is the NBA could this be part of Calhoun helping Great explore that?

Re: Great Osobor
I hope Great comes back. If not, could Ian step and became the constant lead scorer? He has the talent.

Re: Great Osobor
As much as I would like to have Great back, there is very little to no chance he comes back. Great is one of the top five transfers listed on ESPN’s list. My understanding is that every guy in the top 10 will make over $500k upwards to $1 million wherever they sign. We won’t spend that much on one player.
Hopefully, Calhoun is recruiting his replacement and we won’t miss out on a top PF waiting on Great to decide. I also saw on X today that he’s now talking to Kentucky. Great isn’t staying and we need to accept it.

Re: Great Osobor
You may be right. I won't hold anything against him for joining a blue blood. But 22 still has him listed as "medium" for staying. And it wasn't long ago that this entire board (myself included) was lamenting the "fact" that all of our star players were going to leave. But here we are with most of our guys coming back. I will cling onto hope until the official news breaks that he is gone. Nothing wrong with hoping, right?Aggie37 wrote: ↑April 17th, 2024, 4:19 pmAs much as I would like to have Great back, there is very little to no chance he comes back.

You just got to assume he is already gone. Then nothing is bad news and if by chance he stays, you'll be elated.

Re: Great Osobor
Schrödinger's Osobor. He is both transferred and not transferred until someone opens the box (i.e. his commitment to a school is announced).

Re: Great Osobor
This place is predictable enough that when news comes that actually matters regarding Great, it will be posted as a new thread.
Also there will be a few people that will make misleading topics because they think it is funny.
Presumptuous and ill-informed.

Re: Great Osobor
College Basketball, unlike the NBA has not yet become the league where just one superstar can dominate a great, well coached team.
If we lose Great, our team will become more guard oriented. It will be different. That is going to happen anyway because we won’t have a PG who controls the game like Darius did.
I dislike the NBA because the athleticism of a few players is more important than a well oiled team that works together.
I am anxious to see how Calhoun puts together a team with the players we have, with or without Osobor.
I hope he returns, but I am confident we will still be a good team either way.

Re: Great Osobor
I would be inclined to agree if he were a U.S. citizen, but he's not, which might help USU's chances. It would be tough to pay a player $500k+ without violating U.S. immigration rules. So there is a decent chance that USU may be able to keep him without paying market rate, especially if our NIL collective is willing to be creative about finding ways to pay him that are allowable on a student visa.Aggie37 wrote: ↑April 17th, 2024, 4:19 pmAs much as I would like to have Great back, there is very little to no chance he comes back.
