No clue where he’d go. Rumor was UConn was slightly interested. But I’d be shocked if he’d be their best option for PG, too.
I’m only going off of the Trilly stuff and some 3-4 day old stuff from the other site. A lot can change in that time.
While I have no idea and wouldn't be shocked either way, the other sites goal is to drive traffic. Not saying what is reported there is BS by any means but maybe more likely to hear something possible and run with the possibility. Sort of like the Miller to OSU thing.Quote:

There is a fantastic article on the NiL system that went up yesterday on 24/7. It’s part of the pay to read section so I’m not sharing the whole article or the link. It’s a long article with a lot of good information, but here is a small excerpt that I don’t mind sharing….
“The median Power 5 collective NIL payroll for this season was approximately $750,000, according to Jason Belzer, the CEO of Student Athlete NIL, and he expects that number to double to $1.5 million for next year. Belzer's SANIL company works with the collectives for a wide range of basketball programs, from more prominent schools like Syracuse and Notre Dame to basketball-only powerhouses like Creighton to smaller schools such as Duquesne and Austin Peay. It gives him a good sense of the marketplace data and what worked and didn't work this past season.”
Further in the article it states that the BE had the highest median NIL average of any of the power conferences. It doesn’t state anywhere what Xavier spent. It also points out many schools that spent well over $1M and missed the tourney or had no success in it. So just throwing money at players certainly isn’t any guarantee of success.
One more point…..it states that the cost of the NIL for basketball is far less than it is for football (which stands for reason) so boosters that are looking for a bigger bang for their buck in regards to having the biggest influence are pouring money into BB right now. I hadn’t thought of that, but it makes sense. Other than QB it’s hard to see any single football player having the impact that one BB player can have.
Funny the mention of Duquesne. I suspect their NIL budget is about to go through the roof for a year.
Yep, been a thing for a while. His family/handlers want him to play PG. Think the uconn stuff is more from his camp than uconn, but who knows. A couple other schools have been rumored, we'll find out soon enough.Quote:

However, if he goes PG now in college and does well, now you're talking first round pick and a large guaranteed contract due to his size and athleticism.Quote:

This kid is down to six schools. I like his size and 3point % . Could be that replacement for Des if he leaves or quincy:
