Worst case we go away from 1 and dones (the guys wanting millions) and we can then put up better (non-huge) offers to outbid others on top 100 players that Barnes can develop over years. Maybe not the worst thing. Kansas just won it all without a single 5*. Baylor before that and then Nova. The teams full of one and dones have not been winning it lately.On the VQ Podcast, Rob said Barnes does not agree with giving a large NIL deal to recruits due to recruits not having "sweat equity." Worrisome for future recruiting imo.
Barnes has never liked the NIL landscape. He didn't like it when it was all about money and he dislikes it more now that recruits and their entourage are asking for other things he thinks should be totally off-limits. It was always going to go this way. Recruits who think they're worth more keep upping the stakes, and the more schools offer, the more they want. Then the next recruit thinks he needs to top what was offered before. As long as other schools are willing to consider deal sweeteners for top recruits, it will not only continue, but escalate.
Combine this with the transfer portal, and coaches are having to consider supersized bundles to land top players while re-recruiting their own players to stay. If some players don't get the right combo deal of money, playing time and perks, they portal out. We've already seen that happen. UT has portaled out players we thought were staying and failed to bring in portalers we need due to demands outside the comfort zone. Not sure any coach loves the new landscape, but some hate it more than others.
