Class of 2020 C Eddie Lampkin (TX) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/2/24)

Sounds like the football alum collective is responsible for a lot of that.

Is Red not able to engage the basketball alums? Seems like that was one of the main benefits of the idea that we just "had' to hire an alum.

There aren't as many successful hoop guys. The last 10 years have not been great ones. We need to do better in the hoops collective. The problem is the school doesn't really help. They think money that goes to the collective is money they don't get.

Stay healthy, young man.

I thought of that but what everyone forgets is taxes. 750k in Texas is a lot more than 750k in NY

It’s 49,000 more.

 

[Sbucketball]

Wow he really screwed us.

 

[dasher]

The fact that the portal is closed for entry for the other players. This is very scum behavior on the part of the school who made the offer and Eddie taking the offer. No we should not endorse this behavior by matching. This sounds like tampering to the most extreme. Please tell me this isn’t real lol.

This is big business now. This is the way the game is played. Last year, Jesse agreed twice to the number we offered him. Then reneged. And he was already an Orangeman. This kid was never really Orange.

Right. It is not like you don't pay taxes in Texas. Just no state income tax.

This is the Wild West days of college athletics, no time for morals on our part.Do what we gotta do!

Wow he really screwed us.

He took more money. We would all do it. How about we stop acting like everything is fine and start solving the problems. We didn’t play the game with Jesse and sunk a season. We didn’t play the game here and likely sunk another.

 

[dasher]

Are you saying that like it is a little or a lot?

 

[dasher]

Right. It is not like you don't pay taxes in Texas. Just no state income tax.

If you were walking down the street today and found 49K Where would that rank on your all time days?

Not sure they're wrong.

I mean, if it meant I had to live in Texas?...But that's just me.

 

[djcon57]

I feel that just a couple of hoops players can totally ruin a season. It generally takes more football players to do so.

I get it but, would you feel that way if we didn’t get a QB?

 

[tptcuse]

I think the point was we would have to pay $49,001 more than a Texas school.

Sure is, Where's Jim West and Artemus Gordon when you need them?

 

[samspann1]

Stay healthy, young man.

Does his dad have any eligibility?

 

[dasher]

We are already at a big disadvantage because of our morals. If we tell a kid you are getting X, that kid gets X. That doesn't happen at a lot of other schools.

When did i say everything is fine? College sports is a dumpster fire. Cuse bball is a dumpster fire. And I said pay Jesse last year.

 

[dasher]

I believe they are both dead.

 

[qdawgg]

What letter plan are we on now with “Red’s plan” that I kept being told about when I was complaining about losing Maliq?

We’ve moved past the “Shafer” plan

They did pay Jesse last year. Twice. He was never going to come back to us because West Virginia was always going to re raise our bid. At some point, you make your best offer and if it isn't accepted, you walk away. And that is what happened and that is what we did.

Not sure I get their logic. Donate to the school for facilities/operating expenses, etc. without corresponding NIL donations and those nice facilities will be housing Division ll talent-level teams.

Edit - not disagreeing with you, dasher, just questioning their logic.

 

[TexanMark]

It isn't family. It is Money. He got offered a lot more money at a Texas school.

If it happens to be SMU...we have our new rival

 

[Cuse181]

Then we will always lose. So either don’t bother or play the game.

Not wrong but incredibly shortsighted.
