Hunter didn't play last season. Broke his foot in October. He was in the portal last season (before his injury) committed to Butler and then reneged and stayed at Central Ark.

In an early interview with Bernie, Coach said he can adapt his style to the player on the roster. He mentioned a starter at LMU, Emanual Terry who had a cup of coffee in the NBA, but he couldn't shoot or pass, but was a runner and a great rim protector and defender.

Turnbull was recruited to Butler by the now Evansville Coach Ragland. Hence the connection to the Aces.

OT. Spent some time in Omaha earlier this month. That’s a very nice city. The zoo is top notch but very expensive. The soccer stadium, Schwab Field and CHI Health Arena are impressive. Walking across the MO River on the pedestrian bridge was a must do.

If you don’t care about his performance at Creighton, that’s fine. One or two may care about what he did last season. He pretty much has a clean slate coming here. But thanks for your thoughtful feedback.

I don’t know anything about Dotzler but I did look at his stats. He only got 77 minutes total last year, 28 min against Big East opponents. That’s not much exposure. He made 3 of 11 three pointers. He had 3 assists total. Let’s see what he does next season.

Both Camren and Cameron sat out last season with injuries.

5 years, $5 million total per year, for football, men's and women's basketball plus selected other women's sports.

Today's announcement of Dotzler kind of goes with the flow of what I am saying. He won't break the bank. Sure there is BVF left but the % already spent on the big three is unknown, except to a very small number of people. NIL has expanded to several facets. You have the Pay for Play pot (pretty much BVF), the Billiken Exchange where you can pretty much do what you want (and which can have a NIL piece in it) and then somewhat associated with that, individual NIL deals such as Jimerson's clothing deal last season and Avila's Chicago White Sox deal, plus the expected googles deal he is reportedly working on. This has been an expensive year for Billiken Sports. You have the Ford and staff buyouts, the salary for Schertz plus his expanded staff, and then the BVF. Individual sponsors going heavy into the Exchange or other avenues are certainly there also.

No one on this forum knows the real numbers but our NIL pot has taken a hit with Jimerson, Avila and Swope signings. How many big ticket players can we afford? With the names of two potential recruits floating around this board, it appears we are working on the edges of the pot. Players not high in their previous school's rotations, or not in the rotation at all, won't command six figure NIL packages.

Yep. You got it. Everyone else is guessing. Turnbull averaged 4.1 points and 2.2 rebounds on 11.6 minutes per game this season, but missed most of it due to an elbow injury. The sophomore big-man will look for a new home after two years with Butler, but may have to continue to nurse back his elbow injury to full health before appearing next year with whichever team he chooses to join.

Williford is still listed on the SLU roster, but as we think, he likely won't be here. St. Bonnie and VCU have significant holes to fill.

I looked at Verbal Commits Transfers for the following; I don't know anything about the metric used to valuate each player. If you are curious about the metric, contact SBUnfurled. GW: Castro, 6'11" F Providence, Hansen 6'9" C Cornell, and Moss 6'3" PG William & Mary Loyola: DeLoach 6'9" F Georgia (2 yrs at VCU), Moore 6'3" PG Drexel, and Nwaokorie 6'7" F UC San Diego. You would need to get their stats from previous schools. The only one I am familiar with without looking anything up is DeLoach. First, he was on Schertz recruit list, and second he was pretty good at VCU. At Georgia he was a bench player.
