We watched Latham for an entire season

Not really (bold part).

This kid had glaring deficiencies on the defensive end and showed little to no improvement over the season.

Do we have NIL shortcomings? Absolutely.

But Sommerville isn’t a good fit for the style we are going to push for in the next 1/2 years as Pikiell fights to retain his job.

We’re better off spending the money on 2 players who are a much better fit.
simple question and don’t factor in the money - do you think pike is happy to see him go?

Ohio St. Week

If we were even an average shooting team we win this game. Don’t think I’ve seen a team miss that many looks on the doorstep with hands free. We don’t get enough looks and when we do we don’t finish nearly at a high enough rate. We also take too many low percentage shots because we take possessions too late into the play clock.

I don’t know if the numbers in this post are perfectly accurate but I think that conceptually the point is correct. Pikiel will be outspent but should have enough money to get some of the players he wants. Centers and high scoring players will likely be the most expensive. Top defensive players are unlikely to demand as much as the players that fill up the offensive stats. Pikiel will need to look for players that can contribute immediately since teams now are really only built one year at a time. Time will tell if he can transition into a one year at a time coach, but if he’s going to be successful he will need to build with a couple of star players he can get within his budget along with some underrated players that can fit within his defensive system.
