Goodman tweeted Lazar has committed to Charleston. Good chance for him to get PT. Solid get for Mack.

Sounds about right. In spite of all the insistence that Lazar was loaded with talent, the reality was that he had possibly the lowest productivity of any rotational XU player in 40 years.

Wonder what the “lazar defenders” have to say?

Well we certainly don’t want that to happen!!!

At least I will come up from Florida to smack my gob at Dana‘s.

The whole thing will not be a total loss.

He has potential. We shall see what happens. He’s only going to be a sophomore and the last five games, when he really got time, he averaged what abou did (for the season as a senior) from a point/rebounding perspective.

We X fans put a lot of hope into Lazar. He didn't have the best frosh year but the last 4-5 games showed he does know basketball and he can play better than his prior chances.
I still hope Lazar dominates for Mack and he is draftable in NBA someday in his future.

[XUBison]

He needs to work on his shooting. He doesn’t need to transfer to accomplish that.

Correct.

[XUBison]

I think you missed his point. There’s no credible information out there Des is actually even considering transferring or entering the portal.

Also correct.

Money concerns have sometimes created huge riffs in locker rooms and affected team chemistry to a point where teams do not achieve the results that they are capable of. But only sometimes. It’s not an inevitable situation.

The rumor mill was that LSU women experienced this rift early in the season. I think it probably quietly affected their quality of play all year. Reese was suspended for 4 games starting at a halftime. The language she used in post game Q&As also gave it away. Whether true or not, she perceived herself in a higher class.

Not here, but among friend and co-workers I have discussed this the last couple of years. Teams can be negatively affected by this and it will largely depend on the players whether it affects the team.

There is zero reason to believe Reese would not have behaved the same way causing the same friction before NIL. Great player, highly publicized, off a national championship.

What was her NIL income last season? What was it this season?

Players (definitely in the pros) want to see fellow players get as much as possible and don't like to talk about other players money.

I think you are stretching to assume LSU and Reese's situation had anything to do with NIL and that she would not have acted the same way coming off a championship and being highly covered, pre NIL.

Sometimes I get the feeling that you are a defense attorney, and your client is the NIL. You run to its defense under any and all circumstances.

It is entirely reasonable to assume that an ungoverned and unregulated system that results in the potential for “haves and have nots” would cause dissension in a locker room full of people 18-22 years old.

Money and jealousy have ruined many pro teams that ultimately performed well below expectations. To suggest that it’s not happening in the college ranks is just naive, or blindly defending it.

It is also entirely possible to believe that nil had zero to do with it. Reese plays the victim any chance she gets but dishes out bs, that would rub anyone the wrong way. That along with a despicable human being for a coach and you have a powder keg
