The line between booster, which is extremely broad as defined by the NCAA, and NIL employer (?) is really interesting. The determination of impermissible benefits as a booster vs perks of an NIL arrangement.

Adam W.'s offer to Marcus Adams is for 2023. He's looking at recruits and transfers for 2023/2024, more to come on that soon
Interesting. That could mean Bell/Adams split time at the 3, and JT moves over to the 2 and maybe JG3 graduates.Adam W.'s offer to Marcus Adams is for 2023. He's looking at recruits and transfers for 2023/2024, more to come on that soon
In a crazy way, recruiting doesn’t matter from the staff, almost want a strictly xs and os guy as the next the coach. Kinda sad, but hey, not going to complain if we’re building a great roster, especially around this core.
That’s ridiculous
Except the Mets are the Mets and will always find a way to have let downs. Let’s not be the Mets.
I think being optimistically we are showing we going after talent and won’t let money stop us.
Outstanding! Your blog has become my first read mornings now thanks to your relationship. Got to know him a bit years ago when I worked for E-J and we moved our offices to a building that he owned over The Lost Dog in downtown Binghamton. Tell him one of his old shoe company friends says hello!I talked to Adam about Elijah and a host of other things this morning. Lots more to come soon. And thank you!
I’m more willing to bet Buddy foresees a future where he plays 10 years in the pros. I highly doubt JB is warming a seat 15 years in advance
Fair.
The incentives part is interesting. If it's performance based, I guess his NIL becomes more valuable but it's obvious pay-for-play. I don't love that CBB is now a semi pro league but I'm thankful we have a guy in AW than can put together a team as pseudo GM. Hopefully some other deep orange pockets come forward as well. Our fanbase, pedigree and facilities deserve to have a contending team. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
Appreciate you! And will do!! Adam has shared with me the "incentives," but he has asked me not to discuss this publicly, at least for now.
We have legitimate shots. Just as good if not better than other schools at Bethea, Freeman, Adams and Fland. One of those might reclass to 2023 as well. Things are moving into high gear right now with the staff, NIL and these kids specifically. Everything is starting to come together
I don't think it can be performance based in the way you might be thinking. That would move it from NIL into pay to play territory, which wouldn't fly, and we've consistently heard how Weitsman has been super careful that all of this is above board.
I didn't ask for this or complain. I stopped making the program and university a significant part of my life years ago.
If you have to make a post about how much you don't care, you probably care. Welcome Elijah and thank you Adam!
