I think the following will come with Gerry

[Briancuse]

I’m not sure how many times people need to tell you that serious money is being pushed behind Gerry, unless you aren’t listening.

If it's the 9 mil that was reported it's good but not serious money. We need more.

Multiple people closer to it have made it clear it’s more than that.

If it’s only 9mil, dunno if worth holding on to Kiyan

What’s serious money to you? That you think we will have.

12/13 million plus. Multiple people have floated that number who have sources who haven’t flinched.

 

[PoppyHart]

If guys like Folefac & Doty were already locked up at Siena in ‘26-27 for “X”dollars, is it fair to say they’d be coming here for the same amount?

That would be a really good start if we have 13 mil to work with.

The money is great. I'm thrilled that will supposedly be there.

But it takes more than money.

I’d think so and I’d say AW keeps or ups his deal with Doty that means more of that 12/13 mil to work with on the rest of the roster.

Why would they even consider that?

Staff will be the first test/ evaluation which seems will be coming together soon. Should give us an indication followed by where he lands after player conversations. No belief without evidence here so 1 step at a time….

 

[Orangezoo]

At minimum shouldn’t be a huge cut into the available NIL. How things are worked out with Doty via AW might play a big role in how much he costs against our war chest..

I suppose we will see. I mean, we won’t ever actually know the numbers. But will be able to have good ideas when recruits come in.

I doubt they were locked up at Siena. Even if they were they are probably due for raises there and that will reflect in what they get here. They both had pretty good years and showed ability to physically keep up with better competition.

Sure - last year we knew we had a bigger chunk and while some guys underwhelmed it was clear we had a lot more to work with than before.

The giving day numbers alone paint a pretty obvious picture into the energy and willingness from supporters to put up money for Gerry which aligns with everything folks like Dasher have shared.

It's not 9 million.

If they are ACC players they should receive ACC compensation.

 

[grepal]

Agree cash is king but you still have to get em to play for ya. Recruiting is definitely different now but you still need a good recruiter.

I could be a great recruiter with 20 mil in NIL. My credentials are a bit light but I have an endearing smile.

 

[Orangezoo]

Of which numbers are a moving target or relative unknown. Bigger question is does AW have deals with them both and if so does that continue , how much more on top etc etc.

There's no way there's something on paper in the event of changing schools.

His wife. Perhaps a kid or two.

They already committed according to his interview with Infanti and Paulie this morning. Kids had the final say if they would committ.

Of course- the lingering question is does he re enter the equation to support them under a new agreement or not and for how much. So the math question persists if he supports them on SUs behalf… if not then they cost us.. whatever the negotiated going rate is.

In about a few weeks either more people are on board with this move or even more angry and disappointed.

I’m just objectively tossing out some thoughts around the NIL math here but not in any way expecting things will go our way and not end with a faceplant. The tension in the disappointment around this place needs a diamond blade to cut through it right now.

 

[LpoolNative]

It's not 9 million.

Ah so we’re back to 3 million.

Darn it.

Jaquon Carlos’s cousin still available?

I was told Doty was making $250k. Siena had NIL $ so guys were “locked up”.

 

[Brooky03]

Even if we have a lot, it's the weakest differentiator.

$$$ isn’t the only differentiator but it is darn close. I hold on to the past as much as the next guy but you need to cross a certain bar in NIL money before you begin to worry about the other things that win championships.
