Depends on where you're at in it. I would imagine it differs in some places compared to others or at least that seems to be the case based on what little we understand about it.

What do think about timing of the WBB coach announcement. If you can get it done, do you try and get it announced before the FF and possibly get some publicity or possibly an interview in with the final four crew? Do you wait till after the FF? I believe If you are to score a big name and can get it in before the FF, then you try to do it. If not a big fish, then you wait till after the FF because it probably won’t creat much of a buzz either way. I would avoid during the FF for respect for those teams, but that’s just me.

Per Stoerner Fumbles who is legit with info:

Pitino tampering is a real thing. Awaka staying/going isn’t just about St. John’s either. He wasn’t being compensated fairly compared to others, and wants a larger role. We’ve tried very hard to address his concerns, and the team is leaning on him to stay, but it’s tenuous.

Are you referring to something like the phenomenon of time slowing as an object approaches a black hole?

Or are you saying time moves at different rates here on Earth?

We are in a new reality for college basketball. Awaka is a good rebounder and defensive player, but he was exposed in tournament. He was doubled team many times when he received the ball in the post and became a turnover machine. His ball handling is non existent. His NIL value will be hard to determine for us. Can he improve ball handling? If they think not, our staff will not overpay. Some Other schools may overpay out of desperation - the new reality

That tampering story on twitter about Patino being investigated by ncaa was fake not saying he doesn’t do it but it’s whatever. If Awaka wants to make more money he has every right to claim whatever market value he thinks he is worth.

Not arguing that. About Barnes dislike for NIL and not playing the game. Awaka is a pretty important piece and would be in the rotation, but we may not pay to keep him.

He played better than Aidoo. He is stronger and plays more physical.
