This is why I laugh heartily every time I read a candidate list that includes guys like Will Wade. No disrespect to Wade, but that’s him - collect talent and roll out the ball.
I’m not convinced that they’re that far behind on the NIL front any more, other than the baked in disadvantage that they won’t straight up offer big bags of cash to sign. There are always exceptions - they can be outbid a la Dickinson, but that’s true for any team and I think for most players they’ll be competitive.
With the Love and Shannon situations being public you would think anyone coming in would be aware of the admissions issue and the need to account for it when constructing the roster but … shrug. You have to be at least a little narcissistic to be a head coach.
