St. John's.

Give me a break.

Kentucky and Arkansas are going to be on everyone$ li$t that hit the portal. But if ST Johns is reaching out then we should be reaching out.

Arkansas

That is almost what I figure anytime someone really good enters the portal now since they leaked how much NIL money they have to spend.

 

[Orangefan1]

If we are being honest we need to probably fund basketball more also or we won’t be in the mix for
top transfer players

1 hour, 18 minutes in the portal and there was already 3 leaders? Can you even have 3 serious discussions in that amount of time (let alone more to narrow a list)? Tamper city. CBB is in an ugly place at the moment.

Money counts but I m pretty sure that other factors contributed to him going to Georgetown such as friends, familiarity with the area, playing close to his family and playing for a known program and an established head coach.

There is always a portal season next year when he will probably going looking again.

Not to mention the education at least seems to be important to him considering he's now gone to Harvard and Georgetown.

This is why the Weitsman thing never made any sense to me, and the narrative on this board that "we are fine with NIL" doesn't make sense either.

Are we truly a Top 20 NIL program? I saw the football numbers, in which were in the bottom third of P5 prior to Fran's arrival.

I think we’re closer to above average in the ACC at least for bball. But we are constantly losing battles for players/recruits due to money.

I would imagine, eventually the high NIL demands ($500k+) bubble will pop but thats a matter of when.

I get that we’ve known Cuse wasn’t getting Mack for a little bit, but this still sucks big time. I hate flipping Gtown. And Ed Cooley…don’t even get me started on his shady a$$.

Iowa men’s basketball lands commitment from Morehead State transfer Drew Thelwell

On Wednesday, Iowa landed its first transfer portal addition of this offseason.

It was a decision that the staff made, its not like we absolutely couldn't have landed Mack or we lost to Gtown. It was more like we decided that the Kid wasn't worth the $$$ and chasing around.

Well, I would agree. Orange United is targeting $2M/$2.5M for men's basketball this coming season, as GM Mark Hayes recently told me. That's on par with most ACC schools. Most, not all.

Fans seem to think that is what we can toss at new players each season rather than it being the year to year budget. We still have to pay the guys coming back who got paid last season.

All that wasted education to still be dumb enough to go to Georgetown!

Yeah, does every scholarship player get paid? If so, that's $150,000/player for 13 players on average.

If someone paid you $1M, you'd play for the Hoyas, too. let's be real. You can still fly home on weekends.

 

[orangefog]

If AW gives them 5M a year they could get good real fast. Totally different world, tradition and development are gone

He offered $1M/year for SU NIL. He said he would help Gerry if asked. It would be at a much smaller scale than what he offered SU and only because he is friends with Gerry. He is an SU fan and wants to help SU.

Brother take a Xanax you need to chill. Can’t even tell an obvious joke anymore because you’re so strung up.

That’s funny. From what I understand he tried to get big Pete to go to Lemoyne instead. Must be he was upset Gerry didn’t ask him for help.
