A little surprised. I think RG is a better player than some on the board thinks (think CNO knows his game better than he does) but I also don't think he's the type player that we can't probably find elsewhere too.
I think we already have a few “Rylans” on the roster. CNO is probably hyper-focused on finding a point guard.

Griffen is not an NBA player and he knows it. He is trying to make as much as he can with his remaining eligibility.

I'm a little disappointed in this but something tells me that RG values himself higher than CNO does in terms of pay. (I'm not going to call it NIL because it stopped being NIL a few years ago.) He is a prime example of someone that chased a higher paycheck but hurt himself in the long term because his development declined at KU. Maybe he will thrive in Bucky's system but he's going to a program with a first year coach who has been successful at lower level but unproven on a bigger stage. If he had stayed at Bama and continued to improve, IMHO he would be in a better long term position than he is currently.
Who said anything about NIL pay..... It's not the only reason.
