I don't know, it's according to whether a player wants to get say 6 million guaranteed for two years, or 2.5 million and bet they can get 4+ million the next season.

I’m thinking it’s more like $6m guaranteed for 2 years or $5m guaranteed for the 1st year somewhere…open market every year is way more lucrative for a player.

The 5 leading minutes guys are all first year guys; 1 FR and 4 transfers. I’m not sure what you’re looking at but if you look at the avg min played per player and total that up, the top 5 guys avg 48% of the minutes played.

The percentage of minutes played by a returning player last year to this year. They rank in the top 3rd in college basketball. Every top 10 team in Ken Pom was in the top half.

You adjust the offer up if the player can command 5 million for a year, offer 11 million/2 years, 4.5 the first year, 6.5 the second or something along those lines. There's a way to do it that would be fair and binding for both sides. For the player, it eliminates risk of a bad season/injury driving down the second year NIL potential, for the school, it keeps a guy in place that you've developed, but with the potential of back firing if you have evaluated poorly.

Not saying I disagree but I'd bet michigan led the NCAA in clearing the benches at the end of games due to blowouts which would skew the stats. Of the 7 players that got significant minutes last night, the two returners had the least playing time.

Tennessee didn’t love that they paid McCoy to sit on the sideline this year, schools will want injury clauses etc, it won’t happen. With the market continuing to grow no agent is going to recommend their player take a deal like that, also no school is gonna give you top end 2 year guamrteed money, they’re gonna expect a discount for a 2 year deal because they’re assuming all of the liability of an injury or you potentially just *****ing the bed on them.

It wasn’t guys at the end of the bench though skewing numbers, their 6/7/8/9 were all returners, they accounted for 33% of total minutes played this year.

We also weren’t in it for McKneely according to national guys, until he was headed to Knoxville…just repeating, our staff is trying to work quietly.

And it’s pretty well documented he was locked in, until there was an academic snag. Once we get a guy on campus it’s almost a guarantee.

My guy has went quiet on names, all he will say is we are after a whole lot of guys.

Only way stuff like injury clauses, etc., get put into deals is if you go the collective bargaining route. However, the NCAA and it's member institutions seem hell bent on trying to put the genie back in the bottle instead of adapting to keep the sport from spiraling even further out of control

Yes. And that’s one of the lowest continuity numbers for a champ in history (it is THE lowest I could quickly find). Lower than Kentucky’s 2012 team led by AD and all those freshmen. Lower than duke’s 2015 team. WAY lower than most others.

This is the direction things are trending. Would not be a major surprise if next year’s champ has an even lower continuity number and records keep getting set for this stat until the portal era slows down.

6/7/8/9 would play significantly more in blowouts when starters come out and skew the stat. Returners accounted for 23% of the minutes played last night in a game that went down to the wire. We probably won't sniff 23% next year though.

For the opening day of the transfer portal, this thread sure has screeched to an absolute crawl. I caught up this morning and checked back after 30 min to see like 2 new post... come on team, get it together and give me some reading material to get me through my afternoon workday.

Well, they said it was going to be hush hush until everyone is signed...So, I'm expected to see video of the whole team practicing at Pratt Pavilion any minute now.

It’s weighted into to the teams efficiency ratings - and there is a trend that shows some correlation with continuity
