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.

If there's a financial transaction, there's a leach looking to take a cut.

You don't hire an agent to stay at the same job.

With how weak this draft class is, he probably should go this year.

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.

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?

Maybe we can an assistant coach from the Boston Celtics organization

My sources also are pointing out it is possible he might come back, but possible he might leave. I trust this source a great deal.

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

AggiePT · Post by **AggiePT** » April 17th, 2024, 4:10 pm

Not gonna lie. Every time this thread has a new comment I have a slight panic. I am on edge waiting for Great's decision.

Aggie37 · Post by **Aggie37** » April 17th, 2024, 4:19 pm

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.

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?

make sure you tell coach Calhoun so he can get right on it.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Yeah but when you have enough money like some of these schools the law doesn’t really matter.

It was shared on the trilly Donovan discord behind a paywall that the going NIL rate for Amari Williams (from England) is $750k to transfer.
