a "role" perspective. Where they just might be able to beat us is NIL. With us going after several other higher-end players, we may not have NIL budget sufficient to really compete for Noah. Or maybe we do - I have no idea. So you're right - we don't know where Noah is on Coach Young's priority list.

But another big factor will be where does Noah want to spend the next year? Is he still willing to live in his current honor code environment or would he prefer to get back to something he's more comfortable with? Maybe he would love to finish his college basketball journey at a blueblood program? If he can get paid serious $ to play for Louisville, that may be difficult for us to compete with.
