So far the Johnnies angel isn't getting much ROI on his investment.

Sure he has. It's his hobby. He gets unfiltered access to the team, the team plane, and the games. He's basically living out his dream as a fan.

The ROI is the experience for these guys. The money is pocket change for them.

Wouldnt mind us taking a run at Wilcher from SJU..

Repole could do that without doing NIL. He's doing NIL because he wants the team to get to final fours and win championships.

Maybe not exactly what he was looking for, but they just won the Big East regular season and tournament championships and had their best season in, what, 30 years? I think it's a pretty solid ROI.

If you're into giving your money to teenagers and young 20 year olds, at least.

Nyk Lewis ended up going to VCU. The other freshman Jayden Forsythe opened his recruitment but has yet to sign anywhere. With the state of NIL, if the play isn't ready to go on day 1 I feel like most are off to lower level 'farm teams'.

No for me. Never really impressed me much for how highly touted he was. Now, would he be an upgrade? No idea......

Has done pretty well in the portal and significantly upgraded their shooting. They will be tough.

Agree with Drudy.

But actually his hobby is . . . wait for it . . . horse racing!

Mike Repole. $57 million in career winnings at the track.

Investing in college basketball players is a Sure Thing compared to thoroughbreds.

A promising yearling can go for $750,000 or more at auction, so Bryce Hopkins (to pick a name at random), isn't all that much more of an investment.

And I bet he's much more likely to laugh at your jokes when you chat him up at dinner than some horse.

Repole's Derby horse this year is Grande. Second in the Wood. And you get Pletcher and Velazquez.
