2025 Transfer Portal

Agreed .... I don't understand the negative reaction to Paige Bueckers. She's one of the more likeable players to ever come out of Storrs. IMO.
To be clear I don’t think anyone said she wasn’t a likable young lady. I’m sure she is bright and seems very sweet. Just not sure how that translates for marketing purposes.

Just a couple of years ago, she had the highest NIL valuation of all women basketball players as a freshman at Uconn. Her social media following at that time made her a big draw for companies. According to Connecticut Insider, "her estimated NIL value for the 2024-25 season was $1.4 million. Bueckers has endorsement deals with companies like Nike, Gatorade, the new Unrivaled women's 3x3 basketball league, sneaker reseller StockX, and haircare line CeraVe." That WNBA paycheck gonna be chump change for her.

She's an elite basketball player, like Clark, that's all that it takes.

She also plays for ESPN's darlings, which doesn't hurt either.
 
The l'il darlins that can enjoy watching Frozen twelve times grow into Bueckers fans.
Not for us dumb mens to reason why.

She is one helluva fine basketball player. Seems to be a loyal and caring teammate.
If she were a Lady Vol, Knox The Irrational Exuberant would write thirty cloying posts a day extolling her virtues.
 
You and the few casual fans that like your child-minded posts have one of the weirdest internet stalk ish personas I’ve ever seen, constantly directing your thoughts and opinions towards a poster(me) that has never engaged with you or cares about what you post.
Play with your peers on this forum and have a good day.

Not trying to take away from him at all because he is building a lot of credibility but TCU (like most Texas schools) has money. That helps a lot.
So will allot of university once the NCAA allows directly payment starts.
Tennessee up their women's basketball NIL deals funding last year.
But that directly payment means even more university's Will have money to help college athletes even university that doesn't have business or donors to support NIL deals.

Some university might not can afford going revenue sharing at the maximum amount 20.5 million but most will be able to help more college athletes with some spending money.
