The pro game is different because of the 24 second shot clock and skill levels, more individual scoring, less ball movement.

Not sure why you say that. His skill set is not all that different than Hawkins and Willis the two PG's that have been successful under Johnson.

Mike Max was saying that it was rumored that Danja was getting in the 1 mill range from Memphis. He also said his sources were saying Hawkins increased his NIL by 280k at Texas Tech. Nothing is verified because the numbers aren't published.

Williams has very good quickness, not sure Hawkins kept up with him in the matchup last year, part of the reason he scored 40 is my guess. Would be hard for him to match Hawkins productivity on offense but I think he will be an upgrade defensively. If he ends up starting at PG I don't see it as...

Such a simple solution, unfortunately it will never happen, for some reason the non revenue sports are valued.

Hasn't it always been around just not at the level we are now experiencing. I don't see it ever going away.

It's not worth wasting many scholarships on guys that have potential but need to develop anymore. They aren't going to be around anyway. At most two per year. You take chances on guys that have had success at some level. If he ends up being a 5 minute guy off the bench that can contribute from...

Can't forget about baseball, tennis, golf, track, cross country, etc. they all cost money.

I like the pickup, he is a scorer and can play, maybe a question of whether he is physical enough for the B1G but if Hawkins could withstand the rigors I see no reason that Williams can't do it. He's quick, he matched up evenly in that department when facing Hawkins.

Interesting point. From a financial perspective is NIL or two way contract more profitable today especially if the guy enjoys school. Realistically if he is guaranteed a two way contract he is gone.

You don't think Payne and Christie improved?

Hawkins from Illinois entered the portal. Wonder if Danja's big contract with Memphis impacted this.

They were picked to be in the top 3 in the conference by many but it's still a team sport and the pieces still have to fit.

That depends on what you are recruiting for, assuming Christie is coming back you are looking for a backup at the 3, you aren't going to get a top recruit as a backup without high NIL. It seems you have significant playing time for a PG or combo guard so I would agree that I am not impressed...

Poster is probably one of the guys that has transfered or entered the portal. His profile was created in January. Not a current player still on roster.

The NIL agents get a cut of the contract I'm sure. What the amount is 10%, 15% who knows but it is in their best interest to get a guy to transfer. I'm sure they are all over guys they think they can make some money on.

Simple enough solution, you've got some employee/employer relationship issues but why is it any different than graduate assistants being paid to teach classes. "But the way this is set up right now with no contracts or regulations makes it impossible to sustain anything in this sport.”

Miami basically bought a Final Four two years ago, it was obvious what the future was going to be. Really took off this year though.

Wisconsin - Hepburn Iowa - Perkins Kind of run of the mill if you ask me, this is even the same position.

I have to guess he will want to go somewhere he can play, not guaranteed at a P6 program, more likely to get some NIL and playing time at a mid major. Hope they can get him.
