"Agent".... :lol: love it. I wonder how many of these "agents" thought they'd be resorting to trying to squeeze cash out of fan-funded go fund mes? And think of all these new jobs being created to manage the funds, invest the funds, negotiate salaries, manage lawsuits……. Everyon...

So, the schools don't pay for overseas trips? No 208, They do pay for overseas trips but now the NIL Collective is the priority so they are looking at elimination the trips allowed every 4 years in summer months. Next maybe MTE in season OOC Tournaments will get cancelled or reduced to get more mon...

Or an MTE out of the country. There’s always a loophole. Kids were getting paid when it was against the rules, are we naive enough to believe that now the international kids aren’t?

Anyone ever wonder why all these schools do an overseas trip every year? You are only allowed 1 overseas trip every 4 years. Applies to all teams. No team does an overseas trip every year.

I’m not saying that. I’m saying if he can get the money at Tennessee or any other P5 school then go for it.

Not enough?

Not as much as Tennessee or any P5

Zakai Zeigler is the starting PG I think he would be brought in to be the next Zakai Zeigler after he graduates. Makes sense because Zakai is a short PG. They are very similar. I think Ben would be willing to wait a year. I'd guess he'll commit after he visits. If he's going to sit at a P5 this yea...

I looked at staffs Archie has worked on going back to his Arizona days. The only assistant he’s worked with that I could realistically see coming here is James Whitford.

We are going to be about a .500 team in conference and maybe slightly above that overall. As of now, my take anyway. Again, not good enough. I still hope we get another impact transfer which could improve that prediction. Yet it’s sounding here like people are satisfied with their suggested startin...

Jeff Goodman @GoodmanHoops I miss the days when a terrific recruiter was so valuable in college sports. Now it doesn't really matter. You can be a terrific recruiter, but if you don't have any NIL, you aren't getting players. And you can be a shitty recruiter, but if you have NIL you'll still be ab...

I’d take rebound and protect the rim/paint over run…let the big set up transition and let the other guys run. That would be more than sufficient. Daron Holmes isn’t walking through that door. Would you say there is a 0% chance Holmes returns to Dayton? I don’t think it’s zero, maybe 10% chance he r...

You can verbally commit as many times as you want, just as long as you don't sign. Interesting...incoming freshman can sign and bolt, but upper class portalet-ers can't? They can, the school just needs to let them out. Some committee by X (formally known as Twitter), some by instagram, and other me...

That would be tough... but he didn't come to URI to be a back up. He came to URI to compete for the opportunity to get on the field. At Clemson he didn't have that opportunity.
