The irony is that he’s probably getting paid for his appearance….

Well he did leave for all those WVU photo ops but returned to finish up school and graduate from SU. Has to be very uncomfortable for him and those around him.

It's always rough being the first. He isn't the first to leave but being the first clear cut , " left for the money guy" on the hoops side is tough.

Should have stood up to poppa because he sounds unsure of leaving.

He can’t legally sign anything at WV until he enrolls. I’d still take him back in a heartbeat. Sometimes you don’t know what you have until you don’t have it anymore.

My fear is schools smell blood in the water and start tampering with Judah, whereas maybe they otherwise wouldn't have contacted him.

Jeff Goodman says there's no way Edwards comes close to touching 800k.

Because JJ and Chance were cheap and SU isn't serious about NIL?

How the hell do you think we got Starling and Westry? You think they're worth nothing?

The sad part is I don't think he saw it as trashing SU. Not excusing him because he should have made sure he prepared his comments properly. That said the talk and backlash is probably somewhat of a surprise and he is learning the hard way.

Yeah guarantee neither came on the cheap. A healthy Westry is a kid Pearl raved about at Auburn and was getting one and done talk before he needed more time to heal.

Didn’t someone say Westrys asking price was only $150k?

Only? Lol that's not a low number...
The Tshiebwe and HD numbers are POY type figures at the very top. Jesse at near a mil is saying his value is near POY money. 150k for a guy like Westry is likely above his market potentially too but not nearly as far fetched

Whether you agree with it or not, the word is out for anyone listening that Cuse just lost its second best player due to NIL. It doesn't matter what actually happened. It doesn't matter how much NIL money Cuse has. My point is someone might see Cuse got outbid for Jesse in the high six figures, and might kick the tires with Judah with a similar offer. Maybe it doesn't work, but maybe it does.
Like everyone has said, there's a point where the bidding gets ridiculous and the staff shouldn't pay the player. A program that's a guard short of a big season might be willing to pay more than anyone else. Who knows. But we shouldn't assume just because we the fans know our NIL is ok and we got JJ and Chance (who were cheaper than Jesse) that someone in another part of the country won't at least try. The last thing we need is to be the target of constant tampering and bidding wars for our own guys.
