So I wonder how coaches are playing this game? With most of the kids who've announced I'm sure the coaches are looking to fill their spot as soon as they enter. But, with a kid like Sparks, any chance Lewis is taking the attitude, "OK, go see what you can get and if you don't like your offers, we'll hold a spot for you for this long."
I mean, it's not like Lewis can't pursue folks because he's waiting on Sparks' decision. He's got plenty of room on the roster.

If you are referring to my post, I’m just using that in general to any of the P5 schools.

This is a mistake by Sparks. You gotta know where your game fits. He fits in the MAC, MVC, maybe A10.

Really surprised. Thought he had bought in to the future of this team and coach since he came back. Best to him.

This is a bummer. I am not going to write him off yet. He is not a Big Ten 6'9" player IMO.

Apparently he's an incredible student so, just like Bumbalouhh, he should look at the academic + athletic options. A lot more upside for him athletically.

He is right at the level of his ability. Not a Power 5 calibre player.

How is anyone who is in charge of building a program supposed to do their job, when the kids are actually the ones in charge??

I'm surprised that anyone is surprised. How anyone thought that BSU was going to be the one magical panacea unimpacted by the NIL/portal exodus that every mid-major (and many major) program goes through is quite frankly mind boggling to me.

For me, this possibility loomed over the entire season. I never posted on it, but frequently thought about it. Another unpleasantly looming possibility is one I have mentioned before: this past season could represent the most talent Lewis will ever have on his roster. Unfortunately, the news about Sparks today makes that a bit more likely to eventually prove true.
Of course, Lewis could dispense with this 2nd looming possibility by recruiting like a m-----f----- over the coming weeks. That would be great.
