[DilemaCuse]

Would take him in a heartbeat.

Sure but cant cover the corner 3 so doubt the staff will but they should try something different and use up the scholarships effectively

 

[Scott11]

This is the type of big, heavy guy we could use on the boards that we have been lacking.

Should we pursue Dainja, aka Dainja Zone, aka Clear and Present Dainja, aka Dainja Dainja Will Robinson? We did recruit him before he committed to Baylor a few years ago.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

The PTBNL for Guerrier.

 

[Giants1973]

We have some PT DAIN. COME ON DOWN

 

[Mcs1977]

The Transfer Portal is going to destroy College Athletics it getting to the point why waste your time it’s all about Money. Does getting an Education even enter into it anymore sure does seem like it. Watching teams and players develop was always enjoyable now it’s everyone looking for the all mighty dollar.

We better. Next year it’s Dainja or danger.

I like Dainja...bigger bodied kid too. Wouldn't be disappointed to see our name pop up here.

Heard the same thing about free agency in baseball a number of years back. The MLB, NHL, NFL and NBA have all survived. So will college basketball. It will just be different for those of us that remember the old days. Younger people will just adapt to it.

As for Dain, he averaged 10 minutes a game at Ill. That better not be our guy.

He was stuck behind Seniors and played spot minutes. I thought he came on as the season went on. Big body, has some nice insides moves. One thing I didn't like at times was his D.

He was actually quite useful in Illinois win in the sweet 16 over Iowa State. In only 15 minutes he had seven points and six assists. And was pretty physical. Not saying I want him starting, but he could be a useful piece.

Guys like this will come if they are starting. Why else?

The key difference is that all those leagues set up some kind of structure to maintain some semblance of competitive balance, e.g. salary caps and drafts. College sports today have nothing like that.

 

[Cuse99&01]

One thing I didn't like at times was his D.

And his FT shooting

Yeah, you would hope that Autry learned from last summer not to invest in back-ups from other schools and expect them to blossom into starters.

Go down a level and get a guy who was really good for a MAAC, Atlantic 10 or MAC team. Get somebody who is used to starting.

Pro sports have contracts, not everyone is a free agent every year. You don't have to entirely reconstruct your team every year. There are salary caps and NIL is for actual services. It's really quite different.

I don't think it will kill college sports but it will seriously damage them without any change to the new norm. I really hope there is more structure somehow moving forward. I just have no answers on the how.

It's been reported that Dain Dainja got $850k from Memphis and he may not even be a starter.

I'm just afraid Syracuse can't compete in NIL with the top 20-30 NIL funded schools.

Memphis just got a 5 year, $5 million guarantee from FedEx. to use for NIL.
