Hausen kid seemed to be appreciating the raspberry bean dip yesterday

Apparently we have Battle and Cliff on campus tomorrow for visits.  Staff is swinging for the fences this year.

I think some of it is a result of an improved NIL war chest

Clifford, Miller, and Battle would have me very

Let's get em, and then let's party

Kaluma declared.

Zero chance he gets drafted. I know he can come back and is prob testing waters but he’s not getting drafted. Wade didn’t get drafted and he’s not Wade. He’s getting bad advice.

There is no downside to declaring for the draft under the current rules. He can go through the process and withdraw his name a month from now and still play college ball.

IMO going through the process and withdrawing is good for most with pro aspirations, even if they're likely to play in Europe

i’m not sure what all of the nuances are but i’d be curious as to what the upfront costs are to him/other players who have no real shot of getting drafted.  the long term benefit is obvious as it could lead to FA opportunities that otherwise might not exist but just wondering how it impacts him now, if at all.

[ChiComCat]

I'm assuming RJ bolting is a good sign for us snagging Battle and/or Hausen. 

I'm surprised it too him this long to leave.  He's behind Dai Dai already.  We already brought in Dug and CJ to play in front of him.  Castillo will play in front of him.  We're still looking at adding Battle who would take more of his minutes and Hausen who he would perhaps share time with. Tang and Co are trying hard not to play him next year.

I think the staff is being strategic with announcements but my money is on Hausen and Battle being done deals already.  Not sure what to think on Kaluma/Baba Miller.
