If you don't believe we have had a big jump in NIL this year, you are wrong. We have. Now, if you want to argue that it isn't enough, whatever your definition of enough is, fine. But we have a lot more money this year. You seem preoccupied with Duel's ppg. It's his defense and his passing that the coaches love. As for the bigs, Waters has a podcast just out that discusses the big situation.
Well, they signed Boyd who was generally regarded as one of the top 3 points available. Certainly better than Dual.
SO IT SHALL BE WRITTEN
Not sold on Byrd. Decent player, but Tobiason I think is better. Jury is out on him vs Dual.
If we have more money, when are we going to start spending it? My guess is we’ve spent about $7 million on 7 players. That probably leaves about $3 million for 4-5 players. That isn’t going to get you a higher end center or pony guard. It’ll get you a few marginal centers, a backup PG and a backup PF.
I doubt we’ve spent 7 million. We only spent 1.5-1.6 on Doty and white combined. I have very good sources on one and credit to Dasher for the other. Goodrick isn’t getting a lot. Kiyan is mainly funded through his own brand. That leaves Tobiason, Euro, and Dual. We are not paying all 3 1.5 million and your number is off. We are probably closer to 5 left than 3 left.
How much money do we have? Everyone is saying we have more but no one has a clue how much. I heard we had about $7-8 million last year. This year I’ve heard $9-10 million. With NIL inflation, that’s about the same as last year. We can all hope that Dual elevates his offensive game, White adds 20 pounds and becomes better offensively, Anthony adds muscle and toughness, and the wings come as advertised.
If so, we should be able to get a very good center and a quality backup PG.
I suspect it’ll be the opposite. Decent centers are ridiculously expensive. PGs not at much. So it would make more impact relative to cost for GMac to go out a get an Alex Wilkins or the like, and settle for a diamond in the rough or a euro guy for C. Just my thoughts tho.
He, I and a few others have repeated it a few times. I think Dasher even said it in this thread and Lobdell mentioned it yesterday. It’s north of your assumption. How much is up for debate.
Dude you’re all over the place. The players you’re describing and saying you expected in orange this year form the 1-5 would be giving Michigans natty team this year a run.
I believe the $10m that people have mentioned is just booster-produced NIL and does not include SU-funded revenue share. So assuming 15% still and that we aren't overextended on football, you can add $3m. Total budget of $12-13m. Last year was closer to $8m total. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
There aren’t many, or any available. Give me 2 game changing centers that are available in the transfer portal. Anyone you name will have someone else on this board with complaints
