Originally posted by sedz View PostAJ Storr apparently turned down $750,000 from Kansas, looking for more. He was a high level recruit but has been very underwhelming in his first two years (not one of Wisconsin's top 4 players by box plus minus and a negative defensive impact). The money flying around is insane.

Originally posted by sedz View PostI just did that and there is no noticeable, significant change outside of Josh Reed at that time (minus CJ's brief return). Dan's jump in minutes came Jan 13 at Baylor in the third game of conference play. Outside of one terrible game against Oklahoma a week later, he played 28+ minutes every game the rest of the season. Simas had been consistently playing 30+ since Dec 19. Aziz played 20-30 all year long. Jamille bounced around from 10 to 20 with no real pattern and actually had a bump up to 20 minutes in that Iowa St game before dropping to 14 again. Jizzle's minutes increased at the very end of the season but bounced around in conference play, and were actually lower in the couple games after Iowa St, some of those taken by CJ. Day Day saw a boost from the upper 20s to lower 30s beginning March 2 against K State. Newman was consistently around 30 all year.
Reed played only 1 minute against Iowa St and the preceding Houston game (and 10 or less in the previous 4) before jumping up to 14 and 13 after. If a donor was looking for playing time after the Iowa St game, Reed is the only guy who got it, but that boost was gone by the conference tournament. The PGs started playing together more beginning February 24, but that coincides with the only three games Vik played significant minutes after Iowa St.
I do love a good conspiracy though.

perhaps in theory only but not in actual practice. If you want to compete, there are unwritten rules. These guys coming in have spent literally hundreds of hours working on basketball skills and much less on academic.Red and Black are more of an Attitude than merely a color combination.
Intimidate! Dominate! Celebrate!

Not in theory. The NCAA will crack down on pay-4-play and there are written rules/regulations. I recognize everybody is doing it right now, but that won't stop NCAA infractions/penalties since our name isn't Kansas or UNC.

No. What I am asking, or trying to understand; was Oguma's playing time also sacrificed because some donor wanted more playing time for somebody else? I guess there is no way for anyone to know that, huh?
