I will believe it when it comes from Stokes

I read that Crawford coming is a long shot, he's got 3 kids that live with him in Seattle. If Stokes' decision depends on that I wouldn't count on it. It was worth a try though, I guess.

I'd throw a couple million at Jordan Burks, then throw the remaining money (that would've went to Stokes), at Yesseffou & Momciliovic, see if you can get 1 of those 2 to bite, doesn't really matter which. And keep enough money available to round out the roster with guys like Dynes (or Devin Williams), and Morton from Washington State.

I already assume McBride to UK is a done deal, haven't heard about any other schools really being in hot pursuit of him but who knows, nothing would surprise me at this point.

Not sure you'd need to throw 2 mil at Burks. Not even sure he's worth 2 mil.

Are we just trying to fill out the roster or are we still trying to land a stud?

With the number of Small Forwards already on the roster, unless Burks can play the 4 I think we should be holding on to as much cash as possible for either Stokes, Momcilovic or Yesseffou.

Burks can play the 4. Not ideal, but apparently he played quite a bit at the 4 for UCF (if you believe what Aaron Torres says. He was talking about Jordan Burks being a potential Trevon Brazille replacement for Arkansas.) Burks won't exactly be cheap either, he just averaged 13.3 per game on 46% from the field & 37% from three. & He definitely passed the eye test in the games I watched this season (vs BYU, vs UCLA)

In the scenario I was talking about, they'd still have money for a "stud" .... We watched basically every other option dry up.

You wouldn't want Burks & 1 of Yessoufou/Momciliovic if Stokes falls through? That seems like best case scenario at this current juncture if Stokes doesn't come. All these scenarios still seem unlikely to me btw, I'm just spitballing

Burks is easily one of the best available players in the portal.

In a world of crazy anything can happen. We get Stokes and JQ comes back. JQ's stock is sliding, we need a PF, he owes us a favor..
