Bama On3 mod just said they aren’t recruiting Darius Adams…

Vols vs Izzo ayyyy

Come on Barnessssss

 

[TrippieRedd]

A lot of MSU fans are apparently expecting him to commit to them soon. Guess they are delusional.

Apparently the deal is already done, but if that was the case I guess he wouldn’t have taken our zoom call

Michigan state mods think they aren’t gonna be involved either

Thank you for saying this though. Guess it’s just MSU fans being delusional

I’m not sure you’re understanding where the money is coming from…

You're correct, Not completely. I know our basketball ticket prices go up for talent fees & maybe some of it comes from that? Thought some may come from extra revenue generated by team success. Yes you nailed it. I don't get it. Seems unfair

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Bet so for those seasoned with nil knowledge. This is the part of cbb I don't understand rn so I asked - the amount of money a school receives to spend on their roster should be based on how good & successfully they are. Has the program earned that money?

How do you figure NIL is based solely on how good a program was?

 

[TrippieRedd]

Adams, Chaikin, and Tyson

Or if the guys get another season, add Gainey instead of Tyson.

Would be a nice haul this off-season.

It’s weird, they’re having a source off lol…their On3 guy says they aren’t gonna be involved, their 247 guy says he knows for a fact they’re more involved than any other school and that On3 is wrong lol.

Seems like the brunt of NIL is coming from lobbying big money boosters, at this juncture. Like SF said, Ament’s money was essentially financed from a separate group of people (or person), outside of our normal NIL budget. Hoops at a lot of places this offseason, to me at least, seems to be being funded from mostly lobbying big money people on the need for specific players and/or windows of success with a coach or group of players.

I'm asking. Usually that's a public display of humility saying "I don't know." That's really it. Trying to learn why Ky gets way more than everyone else.

NIL is funded by fans/boosters, their collective then decides how to divide those funds, obviously with the suggestion of the school as to what % goes to which sports. Kentucky has an insane fan base that cares way more about basketball than it does football. This will just get even worse when revenue sharing becomes a thing, the school then decides how that is divided and again Kentucky cares more about basketball than football.

I’d like this finish. Even as great as I think Adams can be, we need some experience at the 2, or we’re essentially rolling with all freshmen there. Even if it’s just someone as depth, we need someone with a year or two of playing a prominent role there.

Fans must read 247, cause they are expecting him to commit them lol

Never seen same team websites go at each other like they are lol

Why not all 4? lol, jk

Screams the “ we didn’t want him anyway” already beginning. Come on down DA, and I didn’t say that cause you chose wrong to start.

Thank you. I hate that

 

[VolGee4]

How does this happen if true? Why would Ky have so much more to spend on their roster than everyone else. Seems unfair imo.
They don't go past sweet 16 yet they get rewarded more money to buy a final 4? Why. I'd assume the final schools like Florida & Houston would have more to spend, even Duke + Auburn. And yes us the national college town of the year.

They don’t spend much for football.

Yea, it’s strange.

 

[nateernst]

It's incredible news if Bama is out on Adams. We have a bigger bag (or at least a higher willingness to spend than Izzo has shown) with a clearer roll than Michigan State. Let's get our guy, add a shooter, and compete for a final four next year!
