Payne in portal (UPDATED: Payne commits to Texas A&M)

Way of the dinosaurs. No one in basketball cares where the players go anymore.

Try telling that to my 11-year-old son who invests in these players and looks up to them or the thousands they gave battle the treatment when he came back to the barn. I would say people still do care that’s about the only thing we got left to hang onto these days.

No one in the NCAA cares (likely because there isn't anything they can do about it). The fans obviously still care. . . for now.

Well, if he wanted to go to a warmer climate, he has the opportunities. Well, San Francisco is colder than here in the summertime.

All those teams were also better last year, will be better this next year and have good coaching

 

[Spaulding!No!]

$ talks, and without a promising program why should the players remain loyal?

Joke coach turning the U into a joke program

EDIT: Hire Musselman! Then maybe he can bring Payne here!

Nebraska is on the list, Ohio St. is not

These are all mid majors. No way they are going to pay him much. Damaged goods, bad attitude and can't shoot. Obviously the better coaches are messing with him!

In he goes to Arkansas, we can livestream @howeda7 head exploring and transfer that largesse to Dinkytown Athletics and our NIL problems with be fixed into perpetuity.

The board gets renamed as Howie’s Hole and he is the all time post leader forever.

Total winning.

Okay, so he's not in the portal and won't be receiving a bag we can't match.

I ate pizza last night...the sun rose this morning. Obviously my eating pizza affects the sun!

That is the logic you are using.

 

[Gopherbbdude]

saw this in another thread - a post from Ryan James (can't copy it to here)

talking about the Carrington decision, James said (quoting)

This one was the wildest of all when I learned. Braeden thinks he should be making way more NIL money and that is the front of this, plus he thinks he should be getting more opportunity. Braeden, JOJ and Pharrel have basically become a group of three that have been talking for a long time about not getting what they have earned.

so it sounds like a group decision. really sad IF some disgruntled players are convincing other guys to jump the ship with them.

but if players are going to say - give me more money and more playing time or I leave - then a coach is really in a bad place.

If this is truly the case.... See ya Felicia

FK NIL and the transfer rules

 

[kix4kix]

Do we have access to what kind of NIL money we have here? I am talking total budget for bball

God, I can't believe all these fools don't see how overrated he is. /s

 

[MplsGopher]

What do they get for the contracts? Paid by the school?

Conference. The money comes from the TV deal the conference signs with the TV network. Right off the top before it goes out to schools.

Ole Miss the early favorite. They contacted him twice.

So pretty much every school.

What's your beef with me lately? Multiple times now invoking me when I didn't even engage you. Use the ignore button if it bothers you.

 

[GopherCountry]

I bet UNC. They need a replacement for Bacot that can’t shoot from the outside.

They’re called jokes bro

My bad, apparently you didn’t experience what’s intended as good natured joshing with male peers while playing sports in your formative years. Giving each other is male bonding.

Don’t worry I won’t reference you or otherwise engage you again on here; as my vibe is having a good time and trying not to take a free site too seriously - it’s cool if that’s not your deal or anyone else’s.

Let's say this is not new for Braeden and his mom. This entitlement goes back to traveling basketball and shopping services.

 

[jovs]

If he stays healthy he will have a huge impact for any program. Not a given though, not sure it can even be expected.

 

[MplsGopher]

As long as it's not in the Big Ten, I will wish him well.

 

[60's Guy]

Maybe Carrington, JOJ, and Payne are looking to follow Henley to DePaul. Reunite the dream team.

The same coach who lured Battle to Ohio St is now at DePaul...just sayin'

 

[60's Guy]

He can’t complain about that. He had the ball a lot.

You may well be correct...but here's what I know...coaching kids you would not believe the complaints that get articulated. Usually, because an AAU coach, a teammate with an agenda or a parent thinks it should be done differently.

In this case my comment is just how I would take advantage of Payne's power and talent.

He will only take the next step if he is willing to take the feedback he didn't like to hear here.

 

[60's Guy]

Not the case re: Nebraska. Others also felt they were going to be good. If anything, in my case it was a year late. I thought the previous year they'd move up.

Well, you make have thought so...but I received lots of comments calling me an idiot and telling me Nebraska would be bottom 4 finisher.

guessing payne's gonna get coached more forcibly wherever he ends up

Congratulations! You were right for once in your life.

Well the good news for him is that if he is he can just leave again. Developing a generation of players who will have no clue what it means to pay their dues or deal with adversity. Going to be a massive shock for them if/when they get to the pro ranks and they find out they have to actually earn their playing time.
