Transfers in/out 2025-2026

[Hards Alumni]

If he keeps Clark might be 13, do not gamble.

Good, you'd be homeless.

[BCHoopster]

That does not answer the question.

Maybe a player, maybe an ex player, maybe a student, or possibly a donor.  A donor more likely.  I like to keep a source so will never say

So you have maybe a player, or an ex player or a student or a donor that knows that the bottom 4-5 players for MU make a million dollars?  I find that hard to believe.

[BCHoopster]

Add it up 200k a player, that's a million!

[Its DJOver]

I'm aware of how math works, I very much doubt the numbers from this "source".

[BCHoopster]

So what do you think St John's offered Nigel James? Or another school for next year?

A great education

I have no idea.  I also fail to see how an offer that may or may not have come Nigel's way has any effect on what the bottom 4-5 players are making.

[BCHoopster]

You need money to pay the top kids who earned it! Why do most times not carry 15?

Why would you say this? Why do you think most teams (or times as you say) did not have 15 players on their roster? You are fake news.

[JTJ3]

So you're saying we're going to have 3 or 4 transfers out, but not add anyone?  Thats the only way to get to your 12 man roster.

We're going to add multiple transfers so there will be at a minimum 14 guys on the roster.

And we are paying them.  I don't know if you noticed but NJ, AS, and RP all announced that they are coming back.  That has nothing to do with your claim (that you still provide no evidence for) that the bottom 4-5 players are making a million dollars.

[BCHoopster]

No If you go back I said at least 2 transfers in.

I said 4 or 5 players add up to a million

[Its DJOver]

Yes. I understand that.  Again.  I can do the math. 

I think your numbers are incredibly wrong, and any offer that NJ may or may not received is both irrelevant and does not change that.

[BCHoopster]

Let's say MU spent 5 or 6M on players last year that is like 400k per player, they all got paid well

[Jay Bee]

BC's idea of a fact = "uhh, let's say X happened.. then it all makes sense so yeah maybe that's what is going on."

Source?

Also, not all players got paid the same. The bottom third of the roster (4-5 players out of 15) did not make 20% (1 mil out of 5, if we trust your numbers, which I do not) of the total budget.  Being paid "well", and getting 200-250K are miles apart.

[Zog from Margo]

If Shaka only brings in 3, he'll have to hit on them all.

MU was a terrible shooting team. Even though MU ranked highly in shot quality, their 3pt% was ranked 289th and their 2pt% was 146th. Despite being a horrendous 3pt shooting team, MU ended the season 90th in 3pt attempts per game. That was down from 68th at the first of the year. In short, there was a big disconnect between how MU wanted to play and how they recruited.

MU was 320th in defensive rebounding percentage. MU was 215th in offensive rebounding percentage. It is fairly obvious that no returning players who were active this year could rebound and this was another major roster problem.

On defense, MU was 131st in opponent EFG%. That's one spot below Valpo. Frankly, I see no excuse for MU being that poor defensively coming into this season.

Those seem like some big issues to solve for MU to be a tournament team next season. Given how little development we saw out of returning players this year, I think MU needs to look primarily at newcomers to provide an upgrade.

[BCHoopster]

Yes, they all do not get the same.  Shaka believes you get paid for staying in the program, older you are the more you get.  So what did you think the last 4 kids got then or the redshirt freshman?

[Elonsmusk]

I have no idea.  I also fail to see how an offer that may or may not have come Nigel's way has any effect on what the bottom 4-5 players are making.

Agree.  No way the bottom of the MU roster is getting paid $200k per kid.  And if they are, no reason you need to offer them that amount the following season.  Could offer zero and they can choose to transfer if they prefer.

[Its DJOver]

Well the bottom 4 in minutes last year among scholarship players were three red shirt Freshman and a red shirt Sophomore, so I would imagine they were some of the lowest compensated players on the team.  I would guess that Chase and Ben were the two highest.

I also don't think the formula is as simple as years in program = payout amount. I am very confident saying that Sophomore NJ will be the highest paid player next year, making more than upperclassmen. 

The actual numbers, I have no idea of, but I won't pretend to have a source saying what they are while I make up numbers.
