Class of 2019 PG Dakota Leffew (GA) Portal to Georgia

$500K offer from 'Nova, if that's true, is absolutely insane. That's all.

Smells like a Scott Borals negotiating ploy. Let him walk for over 500 k I think we could do better. If not pay less and save money for other/future needs. I wonder when donor fatigue will set in. I would go down to the NRC before I would make these kids millionaires. Just my two cents and common sense.

Soooo hear me out. Jimmy B has a cushy job at Syracuse now. Does he really need the money after the millions of dollars he made in his career? Syracuse should up that salary. He then signs players to NIL deals since he is still getting payed a regular salary. Syracuse essentially funds the NIL.

Yes, I am half kidding and I am sure this would be highly frowned upon. Im sure there is something against school employees, but who really knows with the rules these days.

If he didn't already have the foundation, it might have made a lot of sense for him to front an NIL Collaborative for hoops. But he probably wants to save his efforts for his own organization, which has already done so much for the community - and where he has the final say.

I am so turned off by the fact that this is the conversation we are having about college kids.

I just did a bunch of research on this topic, and as of about January, the going rate for "average" starting players on P5 teams ranged from $50-75K/year.

Stars - Heisman Trophy candidates, or All Amercians can get $2-5M right now in NIL, not counting what they earn from social media.

Teams that are G5 kind of schools are even paying their starters $20-35K/year.
In the lower divisions, starters can get typically $2-5,000 a year.

Plus appearance fees ($2-5K, typically for college kids who are not "Stars", for autograph signings, camps, etc.)

Teams have budgets, it is coming together, and continuing to evolve, relatively quickly.

Money makes up for a lot, but its pretty clear which team and fanbase wants him more. Dont see a single Nova player in the comments while youve got a bunch of ours telling him how bad we want him at Cuse. The overwhelming majority of comments are also from Cuse fans. For me, if the money was even relatively close, I would go where I'm most wanted. Not to mention where his previous coach that he played 4 years with is now an assistant.
Expand...

Yep the Nova pic comments are mostly Cuse people lol

I think the noncommitted hashtag is so there is no confusion that it's an announcement

Of course it is, but posting another round of the same pics from previous visits is just a pure publicity play. We've already seen the first round of photos when the visits were happening, does he think it might raise his price by juicing up the fanbases?

It's not a big deal at all just a weird look for an older transfer.

Chucky Hepburn from Wisconsin just hit the portal, he is a very good player (PG, combo)….

I’m curious if these numbers are total earnings over a period of time including all of what you have mentioned less so than like a pro team pitching an offer which would make more sense to me. X # of events etc…
 
pwong said:
the numbers you posted are incredibly low for 2024. There are P5 schools were the minimum amount of NIL a scholarship player gets is $75k
Expand...
So if every player on the team received the minimum we are ooking at 6.3 million a year that boosters have to come up with for just the absolute minimum. multiply that by what????? 5 or 6 to get the middle guys and stars? 37 million dollars on top of scholarships room & board, etc. ?

These are the amount of the packages that were offered to D1 starters in the fall semester and January window. These tend to be annual packages, although they are often tied to particular merchants or advertisers.

I was talking about the larger numbers like say what Leffews camp is tossing around which I’m sure is inflated but still figure getting to the higher numbers there are top end earnings(potential) that go with the actual offer..

It has to be inflated.

I've heard that Roddy Gayle's representation [for example] is seeking -- order of magnitude -- around $250K. Gayle is a double figure scorer in a P5 conference, a proven commodity. So with no disrespect intended to Leffew, it doesn't make sense that he'd be getting offers that double that.

And as stated above, if he is -- good for him. Will be tough to turn down half-a-million.

I'm pretty sure those #'s have gone up.
 
Ok, What are we doing here? Were going crazy over a kid that lead his team to a 13-19 record (9-11 conference) shot 43% on 16 shots a game, 3.9 assists to 2.9 turnovers? And this kid wants 200,000- 500,000 dollars? I may need to tap out on college athletics.

1- I think/expect Syracuse to do better than this. It just shows how much I think we have fallen, and it’s very disheartening. We literally have 0 PG right now. It should not be difficult to entice a kid to come to Syracuse. One of the top 10 programs in the history of college basketball to be the lead guard? Maybe top 15.

2- Maybe this kid is a great player. I honestly have never seen him play. I just can’t muster up the excitement anymore. This kid is not ranked as a high transfer. His stats are suspect. May be a great kid and thrive with a high level opportunity. But we are acting like this kid is a must get? It’s not that I’m super down on the kid, it’s the fact I can’t believe that this type of player is rumored to be in a bidding war for his services. If he is getting this, I can’t imagine what the top guards are asking, demanding. It just makes me sick.

That's where I am, however I've been told that this kid is #1 on our list. Which isn't very encouraging to me. And if we can't get him as our #1 target, that is all the more discouraging.

Like I said earlier. Some posters said he wanted to come here so he became the savior. He is Judah 2.0. I'd take the hofstra kid 100 times out of 100
