You guys kill recruiting threads

I mean this a fan forum, fans want to converse and this is a perfect to venue to do so. NIL plays a role in recruitment the recruitment board is a perfect place to discuss it. I’m not sure why this is any less relevant then a bunch of posts from people claiming to have insider knowledge (which they very might well have, but it’s all conjecture if no one is naming names).

Where are the admins who monitor these threads? All the NIL discussion and commentary should be moved to the Main Basketball thread. Orange 79 where are you?

This is a message board with different forums, that have threads within the forum with specific subject titles. Post to the correct forum and under the correct subject title so we stay on topic. Not very difficult. Thank you.

Miami and BYU are both under investigation. Doubt anything happens because the NCAA are wussy’s. But anyone that promotes cheating should step away. Think about it…

Interesting, didn't know on the U and Byu. Agreed that I don't believe anything is gonna happen until I actually see it. So it begs the question

This ain’t the thread to do it. Main board amigo

Grab a snickers man. Not every thread needs to be an argument. It's getting old. Let's see what Sept 2nd brings with JP.

Gonna be a long 2/3 a month till Sept 2.

Anymore it always feels a little perilous when going up against an $EC school these days no matter who or what sport. Just so much freaking money with the schools in that conference

Watched some of the game on espnu tonight, if you want to call it a game. And I thought the McDonald's all American game was bad, this was brutal. But from what I saw I really like him as a player, moves well, long, athletic enough, seems like a solid basketball IQ, be great fit for the zone. If he came here he'd be the best freshman pick up for this program (kadary excluded) since probably lydon in my opinion

yeah, the young man is a player. Add he and Ducharme and hopefully Trey to the core of the class of 2022, and we would be deep and talented.

I would love to see some concrete NIL numbers between the final 3 schools. Is it a case of, like, Tenn offering $250K to our $10K, or something like that?

If it’s 250k compared to $10k, he’d be foolish to come to SU

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Well, if Buddy got $100k before the NIL foundation was established, I would guess that $10k is not the upside.

Not necessarily if the thinking is more than short term money. You can't put a value on your family being able to see you play and perhaps the biggest factor, which school can best prepare the player to reach the goal of making it to the NBA. You can run to the school that throws the most money at you and it's just the wrong fit. Not saying that would be the case with Tennessee, but a smart kid and family whose ultimate goal is getting to the NBA, would not be concerned with the highest bidder of NIL dollars.

Is this about JP or NIL?

He can buy his family 1st class tickets to every game with 250k a year lol.

I suppose there’s an argument for a better “fit” or “prepping for nba”, and that’s obviously really situational. I’d be surprised if most kids/families value a perceived fit to be worth 10k>250k, though.

 

[cuseallday]

So is JP gonna pick SU or Tennessee?

 

[Hopkins16]

Can't it be both? I understand if it was a conversation on NIL solely, but it is about how an NIL could impact JP's college recruitment which seems appropriate as we are now near the end with his decision in a couple of weeks.

Interesting post by JT’s mom, but is this legal?

Grab a snickers man. Not every thread needs to be an argument. It's getting old. Let's see what Sept 2nd brings with JP.

I’m not arguing, just think you all need to chill out. It’s a fan board. If you want to only dicusss updates on JP, of which there would be like 5-6, (offer, interview, visit, interview, commitment announcement), then lock the thread and only allow those updates.

Last warning to all.

You can discuss anything you want on this site (of course, within reason).

But THIS thread is about Joseph Esrella. Period.

Take all the other discussions to the main board. Thank you.

They go hand in hand. Some kids are picking specific schools based on what they can get for NIL….Its relevant. The discussion is will we be able to get JP based on the NIL competition? Its a major factor for elite players today

I don't see her post.

Did he say corn is his favorite vegetable?

 

[Cusesky8214]

I think this was already shared but if this kid is really looking for a second family/culture then there's only one obvious choice...and its not Tennessee.

Well I'm done talking about NIL and JP since a lot of folks see it as two separate discussions. I hope we get the kid and the topic dies out, but let's see if the kid picks Tennessee on Sept 2 how many posts or threads there will be complaining about NIL, fake Trump billionaire Weitsman and his ineffectiveness and how we need to get our NIL crap together ..yada yada yada

His POD cast interview was good. He is a very thoughtful kid. If you listen to the words, like "when I get there", it sounds like he has decided on SU. Could be its just not precise language (he was on a long layover in the Baltimore airport, after all.)
