You seem sorely misinformed about NIL opportunities for college athletes. It’s not just about local businesses by the way. It’s about product endorsements on Instagram and social media. If you have a lot of followers, that can translate into serious $$. A kid like Dior with a huge social media following is gonna make a killing. One organization working in this space apparently believes college athlete NIL opportunities could amount to upwards of $1.5 billion a year.

Hadn’t considered social media opportunities, which can be huge, for some, I know, but it don’t engage in that world.

 

[rrlbees]

Because it’s being talked about by reporters and media who cover the team that we’re really behind the 8-ball with this stuff compared to Kentucky, Kansas, Oregon and other top basketball programs. I believe it’s been talked about on this board as well. Other schools are using it as an opportunity to enhance recruiting. They’re preparing entire presentations specifically tailored to individual recruits about what they can expect in terms with of new Instagram and social media followers (for any product endorsements), the local media market and landscape, and what kind of dollar figures they can expect. Apparently our NIL pitch has been sorely lacking.

I haven’t seen any media discussion of it. And there is talk about it on this board. There are threads in the b-ball board about what SU does. The Gonzaga NIL thread and the Accelerate thread in particular but there are others too.

GMac ??

 

[PauliePeppas]

No Jimmy?

 

[Cusefan0307]

Hard to trust Slater with any Syracuse related recruiting info.

ya not sending more than G-mac should be a sign... He gone.

Not necessarily. I think its good we even went to see him the first day we're allowed to considering he's suppose to be on campus tomorrow for his visit. Shows we care and he's a priority.

Wasn’t there an article saying that Syracuse was putting together a seminar and other things for The student athletes?

yea, it’s in the Gonzaga thread. Gave a little detail about what they are and have been doing.

probably Autry not Gmac. That’s his recruiter.

Hometown SU is the only school getting 2 OV’s from JJ Starling - How relevant is that? Duke closing the tour of OV’s seems like they’re a lock.

Top 40 senior guard JJ Starling is another for whom I received many questions about. From the looks of it, it sure does look to be coming down to Duke and Syracuse and I don’t think anybody would really dispute that -- though Notre Dame and Stanford are among those still chasing hard.

Jon Scheyer is off to a great start with his first recruiting class and assuming playing style stays the same, Starling is a good fit for the program and the class. But he’s also a pretty good fit at Syracuse and would certainly have plenty of opportunity to get minutes as a freshman for the Orange. It is hard to rule out a team when a guy goes for a second time, and it is home. So, it is relevant that Starling will see Syracuse. If word behind the scenes is too be believed, though, they will have to make up some ground to keep him out of Durham.

On Thursday, Scheyer, Jerod Haase and Mike Brey were all in to see Starling while Syracuse had an assistant coach on hand.

Duck Fuke.

it is not a sign. We are fully engaged. We want him badly. I believe he will be on campus this weekend. As I said a while ago, ND is a real player here. We may not get him, but it won't be because Jb doesn't care or was not at his practice.

That last line stings.

Good to know! Just looked like bad optics to me, for being heavily involved. Anyways, appreciate the info as always Dasher! Let's hope we can get the kid to sign when he's back home.

Meh. Not really.
He's gonna see THE ENTIRE GANG when he visits THIS WEEKEND.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Notre Dame should have everyone there being that they are less than 30 miles from La Lumiere.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

My


I don't recall articles stating we are behind. I saw the article in respect to a school using NIL what appears to be out of compliance but not that other schools are much more advanced than our accelerate program.

Our Falk School has a single 3-credit course on how to open PowerPoint. So, we got that goin' for us—which is nice.

 

[Madbiker]

ND sounds like a legit player here. Also, I mentioned our staff going to see him when coaches are allowed on the road again...forgot that he will be on campus this weekend. Hope he has a great visit!

Recruits always say the trip was amazing. Wish I had a dollar for every recruit that said his visit was amazing. Never heard a kid tell a sportswriter or recruiting service his trip was just OK or disappointing.

not hardly. Why did you ask for the threads if you’re just gonna ignore them and still mock SU?

True...although I can't remember specifics but I vaguely recall Zion Williamson being turned off by his UK visit.
