Maybe he isn’t worth that much. Ok. But I don’t get why people want Fede back when Corhen destroyed him one on one last year. Let’s factor in that Fede remains a non contributor on offense this year. His FT is still around 43% this year, and he has logged 3 pts in the last 50 minutes he played. Yes he was a better defender and rebounder, but when Pitt struggles to score, having Fede in would further draw attention to the guards. At least Corhen warrants some attention from an offensive standpoint. Im not saying Corhen is worth that much, but he puts Pitt in a better position to win this year than Fede. Now if Pitt has more offensive threats, ok, maybe the trade off is worth it again, but Pitt is worse off if Fede stayed.

I'd rather have Fede. This team has enough scoring options. Fede is a much better rebounder. I'd say he is only a slightly better post defender but the advantage in having him is he is a rim protector. Sometimes teams run uncontested layup drills against us and having him in there dissuades that.

This rumor was going around and an insider said he is probably getting 1/3rd of 600K. So his value at that price is more than acceptable.

I’d argue that our biggest problem is lack of 3pt shooting.

Yeah, there's simply no way he's getting $600K. People love these fish tales when it comes to NIL. Like suggesting UVA offered Spindler a million dollars. Ummm... yeah freaking right. Imagine a 5-7ish team dropping a million dollar on an UDFA-level interior o-linemen, as if that would make all the difference and catapult them into success. Like, who believes this stuff?

I hope he is getting 600K because that at least shows we are trying.

Problems are:

1. Rebounding
2. Perimeter defense
3. No rim protection (but not many teams have this)

3 point shooting could be better but it's ok. And we score in other ways. Rebounding and defense are the problems.

UVA has been overpaying and spending like drunken sailors. If it got into a bidding war, $1 mil wouldn't surprise me.
