As much as I roll out the red carpet for Max and think he would be of tremendous help, if he ends up going elsewhere Mills and Co will be fine.
It would be mighty hard to find someone else like Max out there, but there are other ways and players to build a roster with.
Max seems like a good man and he's obviously a heck of a player, but the program won't be dead if he goes elsewhere.The Assman

He just said he’s unsure about the general direction of the program. The program’s trajectory has already changed from a month ago. He seems bent about the entire roster that was lost from an extremely mediocre team. He seems regretful.
Having a roster overhaul is not necessarily a bad thing. Did people really think everyone would stay after a coaching change?

Some on here need to take a CHILL pill. We re still in the mix on a lot of solid guys, Abmas or not. We are a month into a new coaching regime. Breathe.

That sounds like the type of canned response generated when you think we’ve lost him.
If he was coming here, I have a feeling your tune would change slightly.
Path to success may be harder, but I still don't believe all is lost.
Just because my opinion doesn't align with yours and others doesn't mean it is a canned response and I dont truly feel that way."He called me around noon and was thrilled," Brandt said. "He said he was going to be a Shocker forever." -- RIP Guy, you WILL indeed be a Shocker forever!

I'm waiting to see the full roster. But as of now, I don't get the excitement levels of many. I'm pretty sure we could sign a kid that say the bench at Alcorn State and some on here would talk about him like he's the 2nd coming of FVV.
It's no secret I wanted Brown gone. It's also no secret I wasn't near as high on the Mills hire that so many on here became after he was hired. Even though most on here had him rather low on the list of possibilities prior to being hired. I don't change my thoughts just because someone is now a Shocker. I hope he works out. I hope he's better than I think he is. I hope he can recruit better than I think he can. But I have to see it to believe it. There's nothing to see yet.Infinity Art Glass - Fantastic local artist and Shocker fan

Texas reportedly is in the "lead" over Kansas State and Wichita State (per The Athletic's Andrew Slater) with ORU senior transfer G Max Abmas. Rodney Terry needs a win right now in the portal.

Even though we have six scholarships available, Mills isn't averse to letting a couple go unused, as he did his first year at ORU.
I'm not saying that's what I want to see happen, but if he can get a couple of PGs, a SF/PF guy and a PF/C guy we would at least have enough to put on the floor and absorb an injury or two while the staff works on getting some young talent in here. Even with the portal and NIL, I think we need to pull in a few kids from HS or juco.
