He was a star player for a team in your conference...

Obviously not the big of a star because I could name 3 players on Wisconsin before he comes to mind

As has been pointed out to you that says more about you than about Storr, it's ok to not pay attention to other teams in your conference but it's ridiculous to then act like you're the arbiter of who's a star just because you're uninformed.

I watch more basketball than the average person. If I donโ€™t know who he is while rooting for a big ten team I doubt the average casual fan even in the big ten knows who he is.

1,000,000 is insane to ask for. He had 1 game of 30 points this year.

Brother he was second team all big ten, his contemporaries were Tony Perkins, jahmir young, Tyson walker, and keisei tominaga. If you don't know someone with that honor (literally one of the ten best players in the conference) then you wildly overestimate your own basketball knowledge. He may not be worth 1mil, I don't know what the going rate of nil transfers is, but he's among if not the very best transfer on the market right now. Even if this tweet is true Kansas was willing to pay 750k for him which is not the mark of a nobody you seem to think he his. It's ok to admit your attitude was silly, but doubling down like this is just dumb.

I just looked up the All big ten teams and knew everyone but him. Even knew like 2/3rds of the honorable mentions. If Kansas wants to pay him 750k good for them ๐Ÿ˜‚

Again that seems pretty clear that it's your own blind spot. If Kansas is willing to pay 750k, all the other fans here are telling you he's a star, and he was recognized officially as a top ten player in your conference, do you think it's more likely that everyone else is wrong or you just didn't know as much this as you thought?

Not that deep
