Class of 2023 Joseph "JP" Estrella (ME / Brewster) Portal to Michigan

[rocklloyd]

I can’t believe the money we are talking about. If done correctly, they are set for life coming out of college.

 

[Sherman20]

If JP garners $2m SU would be in play. But that’s not whats being shared right now. Again, could be agent play but they aren’t paying 3-4m for him

Of course it’s just agents rumor mongering and trying to drive up the price.

Can’t stand these agents

 

[orangefog]

Can’t stand these agents

Agents, like attorneys and leeches before them crawl from the depths seeking the last unearned drop of the lifeblood of those they prey upon.

Just read that Yaxel turned down between $7-$9 million to play for Kentucky this year. Ended up with only around $3 million and a championship.

I dont believe those numbers for 1 second.

What was the source of this, an AI facebook post? Complete nonsense lol

I read it on a little rinkydink news site called the Associated Press.

Yaxel Lendeborg tells AP Kentucky offered him $7 million to $9 million before he chose Michigan

Yaxel Lendeborg says Kentucky offered him $7 million to $9 million before he chose to play at Michigan for about one-third of the compensation.

Estrella is serviceable as part of a 4/5 rotation. He he played 18 minutes per game usually with a bigger body next to him so frequently was able to take advantage of mismatches. He is a complementary player and should be compensated as such regardless of how tall he is.

 

[djorange1989]

What was the source of this, an AI facebook post? Complete nonsense lol

The same source probably wrote an article that he donated 80% of his NIL to veterans and then quoted him saying some generic patriotic thing

 

[LpoolNative]

Estrella, who is an injury prone soft playing center is demanding 3-4 mill? Haha. Man, him and his agent are going to be disappointed.

Or we will if that is the actual market and we aren’t willing to pay for quality right? It works both ways

 

[Blanko97]

This would tell us a lot about the rest of the rotation if he were to come here at 4M, odds are you go heavy on 1 or 2 positions and the rest are value plays

Then it's insane that he turned that down, if it was actually offered.

I sure hope Gmac is able to discern the difference between "an injury prone soft playing center" and "quality" when evaluating players.

Well he must consult this board then to know.

 

[Dcuse]

I would guess he is more able to discern these differences you mention better than you or me.

 

[shu 49]

Right now I think we are trying to get Sadiq to stay and he would probably start.

Good he has a ton of potential and he is like gmac

 

[granthath9]

Sadiq would start at the four and I’d hope for Folefac to be the back up and they find two centers. Money might prohibit that though.

Don’t think money would stop us from doing that. That sounds like a great idea actually.

 

[Cuse1055]

Heard JP just started following Moesch FWIW.

Only thing that worries is the quality of the back up 5. The starter might have to play 28+ minutes because any decent big man is trying to get one million at least in the portal.

This is true.

 

[OCESIP]

Wondering what the total NIL was for the 4 teams in the final four.
