It is like trying to keep a race car from going off the road.

Lol, oh man.

My guess is certain guys we want to keep see the types of NIL promises we have to make to pull a guy like Shannon and wonder what they could get.  We'll see, I suppose.  Hopefully soon.

The UI business and booster community needs to get organized here. It is a new game to play.
Be able to offer all scholarship roster guys an expected minimum here, and the expected rotation guys and star players larger expected sums.
It is a vehicle for pass through money for paying kids. Nobody is fooling anyone that a grown man will buy a Chevy or Insurance because Hawkins says they should.
As long as they provide something that appears to be a service or marketing image everyone is covered.

He has a lot of talent. He is also kind of a hot mess out there.

Right.  But along with keeping the race car on the road, I hope he has a valid drivers license.

He reminds me of a tall Alan Griffin in a way. Not exactly a smooth athlete, but when he plays well he can put up some quiet numbers. He cut his fouling down as the season went on and he looked ok playing the 5 at the end.

I think 'smooth athlete' is exactly how I'd describe him.

What he's not yet is a particularly good basketball player.  His contributions mostly come from that athleticism and cleaning up garbage to this point.

I love having one or two of those players.

That is what I heard. Meanwhile, there was other MIF related drama. Then he was leaning to Michigan, but they have the same credits issue, plus they don't have a scholarship.

Seemed like he shot the ball well at the end of the season.

He scored better but Houston did not even guard him from deep.

The beginning too.  Had a lull mid-season (when it seemed like all of our team had a lull) but had 10 game stretches at the beginning and end of the season when he shot around 35% from three.

I like Hawkins' potential.  I hope we don't lose him.
