We should take a quality over quantity approach. I wonder if with what we gave Jalil, TBB, Bristow, and Noah if we could’ve gotten Yaxel from UAB/Michigan.
I don't even think you can retrospectively say that either. I believe we all knew from seeing him in the local coverage out of Birmingham that he was an absolute stud. I just wonder if we could have matched dollars if we wanted to though.

Yeah that’s what I don’t know. I’m curious if what we gave those 4 would’ve lured him.
I assume Jalil and TBB got a healthy bag and Noah something decent and Bristow was bargain shopping.
I don’t know if what all 4 of them got would’ve beat Michigan’s offer. I was more happy to get Jalil when it happened but it wasn’t exactly a need with our guard depth.

The question is probably how much more would we have had to give Philon, Holloway, Sherrell, Wrightsell ect if we paid a real bag chaser.

Supposedly Michigan offer was $3mm, so probably only gets you to half.

He probably hates it too given how shitty Auburn is this year

I think our portal strategy was "find complimentary players" because we felt that our best path to an elite team was to lockup Philon (if he didn't get his desired draft grade), Holloway, and Sherrell.
I imagine we may have had Yaxel money if Philon got a reliable 1st round grade. However, I'm not sure trading Philon for Yaxel results in a better team to be quite frank.

Double bye for the SEC tourney looking good with a 1 game lead over 5th place A&M and a 2 game lead over 4 teams.
