Question: Do you (or others) think such a commitment loses its shine a little bit because of the family history at SU, or will it be seen as Melo’s blessing of Red as JB’s successor?
It may have lost a shine if Kiyan wasn’t that good. But this kid is a player now. I think it adds to everything in a positive way
I think the additions of Freeman and White take that off the table.
What if Freeman loves it here so much, and gets paid so much NIL, that he decides to forgo the lottery for a season to try and win an NCAA championship?
Anything is possible now a days. And yes a lottery pick is huge but the difference between the 3rd pick and 12th pick is millions and millions so if an extra year helps and with NiL now, you could make a case he could come back. But that’s not the plan as of right now
Good point - I'm surprised we're not hearing about super rich people buying their kids a scholarship and tossing a few million in the NIL stockpile for the program. Feels dirty. But I'd gladly give up the 13th roster spot if a mega rich parent wants to fill the NIL coffers.Im surprised some super rich dude hasn’t put five giant bags out there to get the sixth kid (his son) to play on a team of studs.
Just asking bc it happened on my sons travel baseball team a couple years ago.
Ps it’s not me, my kid was good on the team but there are some absolute monsters. We all flew a couple times on the 13th kids dad’s jet. The 13th kid didn’t play but was very good at gamechanger and cheering.
Pps I pulled my son from the team bc it was embarrassing and I didn’t relate to the vibe.
Ppps I am totally fine if this were to happen to cuse hoops
I prefer the realism over false bravado any day.
Wow lots of notables there - Besides JB, Melo and Kiyan, I see Coach K, PJ Carlesimo and is that Bill Raftery in the bottom right on the video too?
Sure looks like Raf.
If they can't, you can be sure the Post-Standard will be right on top of it.
There are no rules anymore. Even if there were, the NCAA can't enforce them.
