Re: Great Osobor
Unsurprising, but still a bummer. He's gonna get a lot of money on the NIL market.

Re: Great Osobor
I wish them both well regardless of where they end up. I hope for support from USU fans for these kids. It hurts, but they're good kids and deserve the best I can give them.

I'm sure not, but my guess is he'll get an offer he can't refuse. Just hoping we can hold on to a few guys.JonnyCienPesos wrote: ↑April 3rd, 2024, 1:21 pmGreat hasn’t ruled out a return.

Re: Great Osobor
Good for him; he should absolutely test the NBA waters. Hopefully we can keep him here at Utah State. But I'm a fan of him as a person regardless of where he ends up.
Speaking less as a fan and more on a personal level, if I knew anyone who was currently a D1 basketball player, I would recommend they hit the portal pretty much every year. It doesn't hurt to see what your options are. Sucks for fans and coaches, though.

Does this mean that we didn't offer Haslam an Assistant Coaching position?

Re: Great Osobor
that only works if the coaches let you come back after entering the portal, doesn't always work out they way you wanted, some former FB players found this out the hard way a few years back. Got a big head after listening to their former HS or 7 on 7 coaches (LOL) and hit the portal only to find no takers, when they came crawling back the door was already closed and locked. I get that we have a new coach and he'll likely try and keep them, but doing this on a year when there are no coaching changes might not turn out so well.Real Life Aggie wrote: ↑April 3rd, 2024, 1:25 pmGood for him; he should absolutely test the NBA waters.

Re: Great Osobor
So all that talk about Calhoun being chosen cause it’ll keep the team together was bull$hit. That he would keep Haslam and Brown on staff, also bull$hit. That the AD had addressed NIL concerns, bull$hit frosting on top of bull$hit.
I’ve lost all faith in college sports.

Re: Great Osobor
Or worse, Coach met and we don’t have the bag to even consider staying. Hopefully not, but a big man like Osobor will demand $300-500k likely.

Re: Great Osobor
Perhaps Calhoun will step up and make a significant donation so that we can get the National Championship he promised?

Re: Great Osobor
This is difficult for me 22 because I want you to be wrong about this but I also want you to be right because you’re the man.
I suppose I’ll do what I always do when I face dilemmas like this: take some shrooms and watch Apocalypse Now.

Re: Great Osobor
Who is to say that Osobor wouldn’t have entered the portal even had Danny stayed? You think he hasn’t been getting offers all year?

Re: Great Osobor
I think we all thought this was inevitable. He has talked to Calhoun and the collective, has a sense of what he has here and can go look at other options. Based on no sources other than my gut, I say 10% he stays in Logan, 80% goes to Washington, 10% goes elsewhere.

Re: Great Osobor
Just out of curiosity, why should these athletes be given any more of a congratulations or well wishes than a regular student that decides to transfer to another school? The athletes have already had their school paid for and now get NIL money on top of that for doing absolutely nothing in return (as near as I can tell) - what more do we owe them? Yes, they wore the USU jersey and played ball, but they don't care about the school or you and me. I shrug my shoulders and move on with my life. They do the same.

Re: Great Osobor
I bet more, but he’ll live to regret it. He will not have the freedom he has here. The relationships. He’ll likely move up another level in competition that he’s not ready for. He could’ve fine tuned his skills in the MW.
I hope Calhoun can get Burns to replace him.
