Class of 2023 SF Marcus Adams (CA) Offered

[rrlbees]

Not good.

 

[littlereg]

This is the reality in this new era regardless if s player is committed. No player is safely yours until they’re on campus and even then you gotta work to keep them around.

 

[TheHaze315]

This makes me cringe…

I think he’s a kid, he’ll learn eventually.

Yup, as a coach, as a program, how do you plan, prioritize, adjust recruiting needs when everything from even your current roster, less your future possible roster is in constant flux, always questionable? Must be difficult to switch up from looking at players you think have lots of potential that you look forward to developing - to finding players who you need confidence in to produce immediately. I would imagine if you have a specific system that it needs to be adjusted so it is easier, simpler for players to adapt to. That‘s my biggest worry with the complicated rotations in JB’s zone - how quickly can plug in players really learn it. I imagine even more complicated man to man defenses like Va’s pack defense would have longer adjustment times if rosters are in flux too. Sorry for my rambling early morning thoughts here.

 

[rackman18]

Yes we want this kid and definitely his little brother too.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Sounds like he wants a bigger bag. I’m sure Oregon will oblige.

 

[cuseallday]

Take a deep breath, friends Should be good here.

Thanks, we needed that.

 

[sususpicious]

Thanks, we needed that.

Why is the name "Quade Green" echoing in my head?

Wake me up when Adams visits here 11 times without committing.

No better time than now, lol.

 

[OCESIP]

"He doesn't give anyone anything. Nothing. Not one guy."
JB not a fan of the NIL, but this statement is head scratching??

If he’s a kid then probably not so bad but still makes me cringe

I think we need to offer a generous NIL. Sorry, but that is the reality as these kids, even those who get an offer from their dream school or a school that is the right fit, are shortsighted and just want to go to the highest bidder.
I hate it, Boehiem does too, but the reality is that if you really want to compete with the best, fill a 30k seat dome, be a prominent program and not always have to fill a roster with 2 to 3 star kids outside of the top 100, you don't just have to join the NIL party, but the NIL must be very competitive.

Adam W. has offered a big NIL deal to Adams for 2023. I wrote about it a few weeks ago.

[OCESIP]

This is an "awful place" we're in with college basketball. So given this is JB's take on the NIL and the transfer portal, what is the communication between him and AW.

Not sure why he would continue to coach in a distasteful environment.

I agree. You've put in your time, had a great long career, don't like the landscape change - without all the fuss, just walk away gracefully like Jay Wright did.

Thanks - I am aware of Weitsman's deal, but what might look big to you and me, might be small to the kid, or he might believe he could possibly get a bigger payday elsewhere, thus his latest statement. Not saying we should offer more if it is indeed generous - some of these kids or their handlers are just greedy.

It will be interesting to see what happens to kids with huge NIL deals who don't produce. Does it get reduced substantially the next year? if so, the player wont be happy and will hit the portal. This could get messy.

 

[orangefog]

Maybe Marcus' saying his recruitment is open is basically him saying "Last call, send me your best NIL deal, because I am getting ready to shut it down."

 

[NYCCuse826]

Then it's not a Top 5. Just keep the recruitment open and commit when ready. Not a difficult concept.

 

[Cuse'91]

Maybe it's the culture that's developing in the NIL Era, but all these kids just seem to be mercenary hires going forward.

 

[Cheriehoop]

I can’t help but wonder how teammates adjust, mesh and react to big NIL players. Tough for coaches but also teammates not valued as much by outside boosters.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Then it's not a Top 5. Just keep the recruitment open and commit when ready. Not a difficult concept.

Sure it is. As of now, this is his top 5

 

[NYCCuse826]

Sure it is. As of now, this is his top 5

Touché.

 

[Col. Bleep]

Not good.

Translation here: "C'mon, let's see those NIL offers."
