Now that GMac is HC, what does next year's squad look like?

[Cheriehoop]

That's a good point, JOC.

I find this part confusing:

How does the NCAA identify or define the term "agent"?

An agent is any individual who, directly or indirectly: (a) Represents or attempts to

represent an individual for the purpose of marketing the individual's athletics ability or

reputation for financial gain; or (b) Seeks to obtain any type of financial gain or benefit

from securing a prospective student-athlete's enrollment at an educational institution or

from a student-athlete's potential earnings as a professional athlete.

Wonder if family members etc qualify? I could see an absolute mess if there are no true rules. Multiple people could contend to be the real player’s agent, deals could be made without players’ consent possibly etc. Hopefully the colleges have their own legal representation to protect themselves and even the player. I don’t know if I’m interpreting this all correctly - seems wild.

I think that family member representation is an exclusion to the certification requirements.

Devo has over exaggerated almost everyone. He’s only guessing. No one in their right mind will give Freeman $3 million dollars. He wasn’t even all league in the ACC. You give that kind of money to an all conference player.

It is up to GMAC to decide if he wants to take the risk with Donnie Freeman. There is talent but there are also injuries plus uninspired play. Does GMAC want him on his team?

I tend to believe Cuse2023 when it comes to this stuff. Sounds like Donnie is gone.

Remember that GMAC and Red are pretty close. Probably talked a lot about Donnie. What would Red say about Donnie? Would he want him at Virginia?

I was very concerned about the offense/ style of play and not wild about the idea of brining in siena players, but IMO the OC hire was a homerun based on offensive production, where Daly's been the first commit is outside of what would normally be the overton window for how syraucse operates and reflects a more modern approach to the game/roster building Plusses so far.

Whoa. 6-7 euro shooting guard. Yes please, and thank you.

I dub thee 3M.

Had to read that twice … glad the 3M was just your nickname

This is very likely a Brunt commit but Daly is a great hire.

Yeah, I don't know the ins and outs of who is directly responsible, but my point is that both moves reflect a more modern approach to basketball that was sorely needed.

Yes, but can he actually shoot? Syracuse somehow ends up with foreign players who can’t shoot.

Umm yeah this kid is a bucket.

Not "anyone." There is a formal NCAA certification process, background check, educational components, fees, and other requirements.

NCAA Agent Certification

New York has a formal process as well: Uniform Athlete Agent Act (in the NY General Business Law).
