Completely missed the point.

I get what you're saying. You hope our signees are more than just mercenaries going to the highest bidder. I think the pushback was over the phrase "smoke and mirrors scheme" which some took to imply you meant there is something unseemly about NIL deals.

In today's recruiting world, I would say that competitive NILs are a necessary but not sufficient condition. It is the price of entry but you "seal the deal" with program considerations. However, no program is so great it can just rely on its reputation alone to sign to top talent.

The NIL reference was about substance in the offer and the player not getting fooled about what they were getting but then, I'm sure no one would try to dress up their proposals to make them look better than they really are that might mislead someone in the process.

Don't know what more I can say other than I hope the players give their decision a lot of thought and that they don't let sparkly things deter them from making the best decision for themselves and I hope the reason she commits is because she wants to be a part of something special and not because of some NIL smoke and mirrors scheme by a competing team.

What time is Abii's announcement on Saturday? I won't be surprised if she selects either of her five finalists.

Selfishly, I'd love for a Texas girl to come play for Texas. But, in the event she chooses Tennessee, I better not hearing any bellyaching on here when 2027 Haylen Ayers leaves the state of Tennessee to come play hoops and softball at Texas! :cool:

Read the addendum below first!! I can't verify this, but when I was googling the commitment date for Abii's announcement, AI said that she had committed to UT on Friday. NO other stories to confirm this, so I don't want to fuel untrue news. I can't help but feel a bit of adrenaline when I read this. I hope it is true.
Addendum: I do think Chuckie might be right about it could have been derived from Facebook, as now I found a May 17th Facebook post saying she committed then. I guess we will have to wait till Saturday afternoon.

Let's see if Kim Caldwell can close the deal with Jacy Abii... It seems it's looking like a ND and TENN battle for this recruit!! If not, we got other targets.
