@vu72 Sorry to belabor this. Yes, I see the price list from your posted link. I went back to Barnes’ roster listing, clicked on everything I could find, and couldn’t hit one to get me to your link. How’d you do it? Now I’m just curious.
So go to the main Roster page, scroll down to Isaiah and then under his picture you'll see his connection for X, Instagram and then three little lines in black. Click that one to get to the pricing. Interestingly enough, not everybody has that. Some have a shopping cart that goes to clothing etc while four have the price list. Of the four, two were the same as Isaiah while two were at $10 across the board.
Isaiah Shaw also had a similar pricing list for clothing/etc. on his social media. Not a big deal at all. If you can get a few bucks, why not?
In this new age of college sports, this is the least egregious thing I have seen. That isn't any different than folks who participate on Cameo, based on any type of stardom they might have achieved. I paid Jose Canseco his Cameo fee 3-4 years back, in order to record a video talking trash to my brother. When Jose was on the Rangers, he lived in our neighborhood, and my brother was a big fan, at the time.
Trying my best to put together a summary of where things are so far.. let me know if I’m missing anything or have something wrong.
Any notable players in the hunt, or even players we might have been targeting but committed elsewhere?

Close. Walker and Tupuola would be listed as Centers.
Just pondering. Those listed in the Transfer Portal (who have not yet signed), which players would you welcome back to fill our remaining 3 slots?
My vote: only DLCM and Kaspar. That would leave one more slot to fill. But who knows what transpired between Roger and those players
A lot of the MVC is rounding out their rosters. There was a preverbal explosion in commitments over the course of this week from the quiet schools. Need some good news to see how the final spots shape out
For me, Monegro would be top of the list. Regardless of how the rest of the new roster shapes out. He has proven that he can step up to play physical, score efficiently, team player, and a good teammate.. overall versatile and able to fit in and make an impact on any roster.
From there, in no particular order, Stafford, Sepp, and Shaw. I still think all these players have great value in likely different capacities.
Would be excited to keep any of these 4 and provide the ever elusive continuity nowadays.. noting that I also don’t know other potential commits out there and how much they actually would want to stay.

I'm good thanks. I wish them all the best. There is no such thing as a 15-man rotation and its very possible that we already have our 8-9 rotation players on the roster now. The additional spots may or may not go to end of bench players who we see in warmups more than jerseys.
% chances at least one of the players in the portal comes back? I have no inside information sources etc... Over under 25% chance. Unless McNair has a noticeable improvement, as of today, we have no proven legit scoring option at guard on the roster

I wouldn't get your hopes up

I've posted this myself. Right now the biggest hole on the roster.

Well, we didn't much last year other than All late in the season. Our team shot 33.6 from the 3. Rakim Chaney shoots the 3 at a 40% clip. Barnes shot 33.3 from the 3 last year and Deese shot 37.8. We are a lot bigger so hopefully the scoring will come more from the inside rather than relying on the 3. Oh, and Mark Brown shot the 3 at 36.4. We lost Jeff who shot at 32.0%, Shaw who shot at 31.6%.
If you take out All and Schmidt, Valpo shot 31% from the three. If nothing else we have more shooters.
Without Wright last year...particularly late in the year...Valpo may not have gotten a shot off half of the possessions. There appears to be no one on the roster capable of the creation needed to either get their own shot or set up others for their shots. Who you giving the ball to when a basket is absolutely needed? That's the guy that appears to be missing.
