Adam Weitsman has been cautious about NIL

[OrangeXtreme]

 

[DilemaCuse]

Make it happen, Adam

 

[FrancoPizza]

The question is will he still be invested once Jimmy steps down?

 

[Ozone!]

Adam

 

[cliftonparksufan]

He's thrown a ton of money into his cryptoworld so what's a few more million. C'mon Adam. Help your brother out.

From the outside it appears that Mr. Weitsman is 100% behind NIL, that is Mr. Weitsman's NIL. Whatever floats his boat.

 

[pwong]

I wonder if we keep Dior and/or Kamari Lands if Weitsman gives these kids $1M each in NIL money. I’m assuming JB doesn’t want to play NIL recruiting game due to past sanctions.

 

[Alsacs]

Very reasonable take by Weitsman.
I don’t expect him to just throw money away.

He would pay for players that would give him some value back. Don’t blame him one iota.

Agree. Adam seemed like a voice of reason in this whole thing.

 

[Grbac]

Wished we could do something about recruiting.
I was just looking back at past rosters. We used to be so stacked.
Just 10yrs ago we had Dion Waiters, CJ Fair, James Southerland, Michael
Carter-Williams, and Baye Moussa Kieta….COMING OFF THE BENCH!! That’s a legit team right there that would destroy our current team.

We have fallen so much. Whatever Adam Weitsman can do to help I wished he would. We need it badly.

Any “monster names” we are recruiting for 2023 and 2024 that Adam can help with?

Yes Richard Pitino

I’d like to know this as well.

Honest question, because I haven't really followed him all that much, but what has he done for Syracuse Basketball to date?

 

[Zelda Zonk]

It really shouldn't be down to one supporter, mega as he may be.

He purchased courtside seats that are expensive, he has donated to JB’s charity. He brings high profile guests to games.

He owes Syracuse basketball nothing. He is a fan.

He lets the staff use his private plane for recruiting trips.

Gotcha, thank you. I didn't know if he had chipped in to any of the new projects going on or anything like that. But he sounds like a good fan, which is great and always good for a program. But nothing that is irreplaceable (ie. pulling sizable funding) if he happend to go when JB leaves

Edit - just saw CLs post on utilizing his private plane which is definitely notable

DJ Wagner would fit the profile he is talking about...

 

[Cuse1055]

Weitsman has been close with Isaiah Stewart for a while now (I remember the story of him driving in a blizzard to watch Stewart’s announcement even though he picked Hop and UW), so I wonder if NIL had been around and legal then would Stewart have ended up here?

 

[kirbivore]

It ended up in the Duke secondary ticket market thread

 

[sutomcat]

He lets the staff use his private plane for recruiting trips.

He also converted had some seats in a corner of the 200 level into a deluxe private suite, which must have cost a small fortune (and surely brings in some major revenue that SU would not otherwise have realized).

 

[Marty McFly]

Yes Richard Pitino

 

[UnknownOrange]

my personal opinion aside on AW... you don't want to lose him and his wallet if you're SUAD. Not that I have indication he would disappear when JB retires, but you do everything within reason and legality to keep a donor like him happy.

Does anyone on this board have any idea where his money really comes from? Is it from crypto? I just have a hard time believing he's gotten super wealthy from scrap metal. If this isn't an appropriate question to ask please feel free to delete. Just curious. (I think it's a relevant question for a fan / fan base to wonder about...)
