I mean it’s not like we are on the Dave Ramsey plan. Reality is we’ve likely spent most of what’s in the bank on what we currently have. Maybe we can reallocate funds from football or baseball and give it to a sport that’s actually winning something.
I should have been a little more clear, but I agree with you. I don't think Bruce is being stingy with the money.. I think Basketball is just limited in what they have to spend. So when I say open up the check book I'm more talking about the rich people need to get off it and spend more on basketball.

The frustrating part is that it sounds like we had Achor until the transcripts got sent, which means we were basically down to one missing spot. Bruce could have easily sold getting more money (either from OTV or a donor) to get one more guy that could make the team championship level.

Dior could be a solid option because the reality is he likely won’t be able to hold out for a ton of money due to his past issues. Flip side is Bruce could have something special next year and Dior clearly has character issues (legal trouble on top of being a school hopper). He’s very good but not worth risking the team chemistry over. Bruce and Co. will likely do a lot of digging before taking him.
