What can Brown do for you?
No he’s already on the team
No one, but from now on when someone "signed" or "committed" on IG I will interpret it as "Tentatively committed" or "somewhat committed" or even "door half closed but give me a call and make me uncommit".

We have to take a positive step.. then another and so on. NIL has to level up but Red has to prove his chops too. Last year was a mess but we won 20 games. We need a team that’s bought in, a philosophy and some talent to put out there. That’s what we will have with Lampkin in the fold. The rest is up to Red to make hay with it and give everyone a reason to pump more money in.
The level of talent we had in our glory days would be top 5 in the portal era. Those kind of teams are much harder to put together for anyone. The curve on the grade has changed. So that means coaches have to prove they can get it done with what their NIL can afford.
I think we’ve worn out the dead in the water point of view to the point it’s become the only acceptable point of view to some. I’m not optimistic but keeping hope we can make something happen and Red proves he’s got the chops.
Serious for a second, do you think these commit-uncommit stunts are somewhat exclusive for 5th or last year guys where this is their last chance to get a NIL bag because once they pull this stunt everyone knows and won't take them seriously on the next go around. If you are a sophomore you may think twice doing this because coaches may not take you seriously again.
I don't know if EL or Jesse which is worse. On one hand EL was never an orange so there isn't any long history of emotional investment like Jesse did. But Jesse did get his degree and both kind of doing this last minute so a pivot is difficult.

This isn’t directed at you personally, just the general theme of some posts I’ve seen.
We saw a decent number of posts suggest they didn’t want Kadary because he wouldn’t “buy in”, etc
how the hell do the same posters that made those type of comments suggest that we have to keep Lampkin. What he’s doing right now is the literal definition of not buying in. He’s a hired gun.
I agree we need him for the talent aspect and the skills he has, but the “buy in” portion is complete nonsense.

So maybe it’s the wrong term but a guy who once he is on campus he’s willing to be a good teammate and play hard for Jersey he puts on. All the NIL stuff to me falls outside of that. It’s a business now.
Once he is on campus as a 5th year he should be what we need and a guy who does what is asked of him and then some.
To a point I think it hurts their reputation but just look how desperate teams are right now. I doubt it would impact their choice of targeting a player

They should make them take sunmer sessions to get them on campus and avoid this.

Please respect his decision
I was thinking along the lines you are. One last chance t get the money to buy a nice house and car. If I were 21and had those choices I would do my best to maximize my income.
You have seen him play a lot? And all of the other centers in the country? Please, call Red quick. Tell him not to pay up for this kid. All the film the coaches watched of him must have been a waste of time.

At this point I'd rather be a Div 3 school. College sports isn't about the absolute best of the best athletes anyway... that's the NBa, NFL etc. It was could our student athletes defeat the student athletes from their peer group. These are just minor league professionals with no actual association with the school on the uniform. It's more like sponsoring a G league team than college sports.

He’s already left TCU with much fanfare and accusations and allegedly can’t return to the state of Colorado. I’m not saying he can’t be a good teammate, but does he deserve the benefit of the doubt when you add this on to it?
…and to confirm I want him back. Just not on the basis of him being a good teammate
I would to. Except, if I gave my word of honor that I was making a commitment. I would honor that.

My son played baseball for a good D3 college in Pennsylvania and he still stays in contact with the coach. He was telling him that his players are being poached by other schools offering NIL. It’s disrupting sports on all levels.

In fact it’s worked it’s way to high schools.
“NIL at the interscholastic level has been a reality for many states for about 24 months. NIL allows high school athletes to monetize their name, image and likeness AND maintain their high school athletic eligibility.” Nov 8, 2023

States in 2023 allowing high school nil. Maybe more states have added it since then.

The word “commit” should prolly be removed from all conversations. It’s now more like ‘Ryan Howard’ saying he will “probably… show up” at Pam and Jim’s wedding. Unless something better comes up.

Different NIL than what we are talking about. HS kids in these states can get "real" NIL stuff like brand deals where they actually profit off their name, image, and likeness. The way NIL was supposed to go when they introduced it. The High school's don't have collectives so they are not being "paid to play" although some of the top guys do get money under the table.
