I figured we’d lose at least one of PBJ. and it’s gotta be exposure and NIL he’s looking for.

I'd say Sparks is gone for good this time. Gotta hope Sellers decides Lewis is on the right path and is working to get the best of him and sticks around. But the odds just got longer. Bashir will automatically start next year unless Lewis attracts a stud in the portal. He really ought to stick.
I do not like the portal. We can benefit, sure, but too many programs like ours get gutted by it. Butler is going through some things right now.

Mid-majors are just the minor leagues for the power 5 conferences. College sports has turned into the Wild West. |

The transfer portal only serves to benefit the "big" schools with more resources and NIL power. Mid-majors are basically the G-League at this point.

Sparks twitter say it has been his dream to play at the highest level of college basketball and that is what he is seeking.
I love Sparks but he is not irreplaceable. This sucks. Hopefully Lewis can pull in a big to replace him. How about two?

Have fun sitting on the bench He's damned good out our "level" but once he goes to the highest level he's gonna have 3 guys just like him to compete against for playing time, and the opponents will have huge guys to throw at him. His one move of "bull defenders over" won't necessarily work in the Big 10. Big dudes are gonna keep him off the block so he'll have to be able to step out and hit 15 footers consistently. |

Wishing him all the best if he stays or goes. Every player wants to play in the high majors - c'mon. Can't fault him for that. He brought an excitement to Cards ball and he deserves to make decisions he thinks are best for him and his career. He doesn't strike me as an "NIL" guy. Nice kid. Hope we keep him, but if we don't, he gave us 2 good seasons. Bashir and Sellers better have some meetings scheduled with the coaching staff!

I totally wish him the best but 6’9” with no outside game puts him at a disadvantage going up against the Big Ten guys he wants to play against every night.

Agreed. I don't know if he said Big Ten in his post, but valid point. I think he has a lot of upside potential. He was 17 when he joined the team I think.
