How can no school offer more $$ than Stanford in terms of NIL? That’s a strange assertion with no evidence to back up what you’re saying. Can you elaborate? Because of Silicon Valley? Not sure how that factors in at all. Google, Facebook, and other tech companies aren’t giving marginal college basketball players endorsement deals.
Stanford’s aluminum base is pretty successful overall wouldnt you say?
I didn’t think this needed an explanation. It’s Stanford. The alumni. The tech. The valley. And now you’re saying JJ is a marginal basketball player and he shouldn’t expect a deal? It’s one of the most prestigious and wealthiest schools in America and I guarantee JJ would make more NIL money there than coming to syracuse. How much NIL money is buddy making ? People think this hometown thing is a cash cow.. News flash, people in Syracuse aren’t throwing any money at these kids now are they ? Cmon you can’t compare Syracuse to stanford at all
I won't argue that Stanford has a lot of potential in the NIL area, but right now all that comes up when you google Stanford and NIL is David Shaw talking about Nick Saban.
Yah great school, but it's not like the folks in Palo Alto are dying over basketball recruits.
Agreed, extremely successful alumni does not equate to spending the most on NIL for their school. Guaranteed that most of the graduates do not care enough to spend money on a random kid from New York to come to Stanford, the culture is not the same the way it is in say the SEC.
Yep, the statement may be true but there’s just no evidence or proof of it right now. Heck, the Stanford alumni base may find the entire NIL concept offensive.
I believe it's spelled aluminium.
Fixed that for you, free of charge!
That would be a mighty large alumni base with very deep pockets to unanimously feel that way.
Weitsman would like to have a word with all of you regarding this "aluminum".
Your last line needs work, it doesn't rhyme.
It's also missing the line, "First star I see tonight".
They've had 3 guys picked in the last 3 years including a lotto pick this year. We've had 1 2nd rd pick in the last 4 drafts and our last lotto pick was MCW 8 years ago. They're on pretty equal footing as us in that aspect unless we're going to start arguing about things when he was 6 years old.
You can’t discount MCW, Waiters, etc. JB was the coach then so people shouldn’t be saying JB can’t get players drafted. He’s actually got players drafter higher than they should have. It’s up to the players once they get drafted to stay in the league.
In what world are people saying JB can't get players drafted? Anyone that does is a moron. I was responding to you stating that Stanford is not a hot spot for getting players drafted when they've done it 3 years in a row and just had a guy go in the lotto 2 weeks ago. They have another top 20 kid coming in this year so that's likely to continue.
That was my original post. Some of the people around JJ are not convinced SU can prepare him for the NBA.
Don't you mean "tee them up"?Can we just "scrap" this conversation?
You set em up, I'll knock em down.
