    It’s not just them “hoping”. We fans don’t know how individual agreements are set up. All we can do is speculate on them. So I’m not going to say what is and what isn’t a fact. But everything that I’ve read points to the idea that universities expect the compromise made to be accepted by the court, and that they are moving forward with the expectation that it will go into effect in the very near future.

    Yeah I understand that is the expectation but I don’t think that’s influenced what they’ve spent this offseason. I would maybe buy that if the number being reported was all of a sudden way higher than the numbers we’ve heard in the past but that 5mil is right in line. So they’ve previously (reportedly) spent that in previous season(s) and it was all NIL.

    If Roddie's game equals what he has been doing on social media lately, he's going to be one hell of a fun guy to watch next year.

    From what has been said, I think he's going to be a great fit for what Pitino wants to do...push push push and aggressive d. Do not discount the growth he has experienced with a full year of practice..learning to limit turnovers and develop his shot.

    Paul mentioned on his show last night that he expects 1-2 more guys added to the roster...makes sense. One more ball handler i'd think and maybe another big?

    I watched Paul's show this morning, there were several things I found encouraging for Roddie as PG next year. Roddie admitted freshman year was just playing with his talents, Boise St was about learning how to be a point guard but wasn't his style of basketball, last season he learned a lot from practicing against McKnight (getting back on defense quickly, pushing the ball and not just going fast). He also made reference to the work on his jumper and how much it is improved from putting in the work this past year.

    The other thing that caught my attention was in looking forward to playing UC at 5/3 in 2 years!

    They didn't do jack until Bobby Cremins built up that program anyway. Paul Hewitt getting them to the national championship game in 2004 now seems like a complete aberration.

    I honestly have zero recollection of this.

    I remember it all too well, because I was in Atlanta for the Final Five as they won their regional.
