"Coach Barnes the Muss Bus is offering 3.5 mill and Nova offering 3 mill. Can you come up to match? Coach Barnes you there? Hello?"

Hangs up

Calls Miles and gives him Rice’s deal

This is like finding out the guy you have been cheating off of during math test is barely passing

As a person who has occasionally taught a math course, like 90% of the time when someone tries to peek at a neighbor’s exam, they’re peeking at a D/F exam

This is not all about going to highest bidder in this case. Vols are clearly the best opportunity for development of his game and better team. Plus his best friend from Maryland is there.

Oh trust me, I know. I found this out in the 90s.

I’ve had some pricey Nobu meals in Malibu, but that could only add ~$75k, if he eats there every day for a year, just paying for himself. Hell, starting to convince myself he should just go to USC, if he’s smart.

Disclaimer: not an accountant

Oddly Nobu was one of the only businesses on that section of the PcH that didn’t burn last year. I drove there with friends a month ago. It’s charred ruins, and the Nobu. All those funky seafood places from SM to Malibu are toast.

Yeah I am not sure why our fans misjudge this so badly. Cost of living is very impactful when moving my family to California and residing there for the next 5 years. It is very low impact on a young man who will be there for 1 or 2 years during which time he will reside in a residence hall on campus and use the college facilities for most all of his needs.

The other part of the analysis though is future earnings. Which staff does he think will maximize his wealth in future years? So, even if the analysis is several hundred thousand dollars different, how do you consider future earnings?

Rodney Rice to USC… lmfao.

Rodney Rice to USC… lmfao.

Guess the zoom didn’t go well lmao

 

[RyanWalkerPGH]

That's disappointing

 

[Adam2014]

Have fun with that **** show out there.

 

[TrippieRedd]

No other elite scorers in the portal…rip.


At least there’s semi decent players left

 

[CamVol8]

I mean I could have understood Gonzaga, but USC?? just sickening man but whatever

 

[Derek Reese's jumpshot]

Hope he enjoys the NIT.

 

[VolFan_stuck_in_the_901]

Sounds like he has chosen the mercenary route.... so be it

 

[SGMVols]

We’re going to be fine.

 

[volfaninpa]

Money talks the loudest for some.

 

[TrippieRedd]

can’t wait to get Duke Miles….

I mean if the kid wants to go the mercenary route, then so be it IMO

I refuse to believe we’re bringing in Duke Miles to start, that would just be bad. As depth? great

I’ll take a 43% 3 point shooter all day long.

You’ll have about 4-5 guys telling you he’s a stud

 

[RikidyBones]

It is objectively stupid to pick USC over Tennessee right now. I don't care if they put 3.5 million into his account.

It’s not as impressive as it sounds. He only made 40 all year.

43% from 3

Has SEC experience already

Would get better coaching here than at OU

You could do a lot worse.
