re: thoughts on whether or not we land Malik or not?

Maybe if he got the idea that CMA would be able to put at least two or three talented players around him to at least give them a chance to make the tourney and advance a few rounds....


If he thinks we have no chance of being competitive even with himself on the team, then I think he goes to Kentucky or some other program that is perceived to have a solid chance at an NC or final four appearance.

It's just one year, but he can be guaranteed of going to the tournament with several teams and probably getting past several rounds. That is a big thrill that he will only have one shot at.

Don't want to waste that one chance and end up in the NIT.

If CMA can get just a couple guys to go with Monk, maybe we swing him. That's probably one thing he is waiting to see.
