I'm guessing the "mutual" parting came after they exchanged $$ offers.

Yeah, mutual doesn't have to mean we didn't want him it could just means the two sides couldn't come to an agreement so decided it was better for both sides for Jefferson to go elsewhere.

Now the narrative is that Ben Johnson had the NIL to get Jefferson but not Niko??

I don't think that's what he meant. He's suggesting once Gonzaga showed interest the asking price went up. What Ben was able to offer was no longer sufficient to keep him committed.

All speculation of course.

Wasn't Jefferson already committed and signed to Ben? If so, he wouldn't have been allowed to leave without Ben being fired, correct? Maybe I'm off here.

Dennis Evans was committed to Ben until Louisville showed him the $$. Very possible the same thing would have happened here.

Ben didn't have more NIL, but he might have been wiling to give Jefferson a much bigger % of what he had, figuring he couldn't do any better.

But he supposedly also had a medical condition to be released, didn't he? But I agree, a total shit show.

No, I don't think that came up until after he was at Louisville. His leaving was all about $$. The one the U wouldn't clear was the kid from De La Salle I believe. Can't recall his name.
