Yeah. Not somebody I would want us to take. He seems like one of those guys that could get hot and really hurt you but not somebody who could create his own shot and not somebody that you could count on in crunch time. If Weber was the coach I would love to have him, but with Tang, my expectations have been elevated

would definitely take him. can't have too many shooters. but depends on how many transfers we can take in.

Nah, I think this thread, like the football version, is not only for our transfer interests but for general transfer interests too. As far as O'Neal is concerned, I disagree with wetwillie, I do think he's a high major player, just not a top rotational one for most programs. He was a top 50 high school recruit. If his goal is to play 20+ mpg, then he should go to a mid major, but I'm not sure he will make that connection, as he'll likely have some high major interest.

I was kinda wanting to see how Lingard would develop under coach tang. He seemed like a Baylor type player that never got a chance at k state because of injuries.

The three you probably don't recognize from left to right are; Tray Harris, Drew Honas (he's a senior), and Max Edwards.

EZ doesn't have a free transfer or a red shirt year. I'd be shocked and frankly pissed if he isn't here next year. Hard work has never been an issue for him so he should be okay. Tray Harris also has used his free transfer. He came to us from Iona. I believe he was Pitino's first recruit.

I think you’re confusing Harris with Brooks. Harris came from a JuCo, but I believe both are walk ons so no reason for either to transfer unless they decide they really do want some PT or don’t like Tang.

Yea EZ is a tough one, I guess they probably keep him for another year and then he can grad transfer or just graduate.  Probably means Bradford and/or Landers will hit the road.

some people focus on individual stats and not team results. but, as the greatest football coach to ever coach the game (Barry Switzer) once said, "The team with the best quarterbacking and talent wins this game,... This year, Vincent Young has the best chance to win."

and football has a shitload more guys than basketball. like minimum 20% more guys. if he was even moderaltely good we'd have done better than last place the last TWO (2) seasons which I just learned today he was part of.

not to hur hur things, but it’s a very weird sensation on some of these posts to have to google if they’re on our team (this one was easy ofc because direct)

Every single program in America has players who don't ever play. I don't know why y'all view your lack of knowledge of the bottom of the roster guys an indictment of anything other than yourselves.

Frank had guys like James Watson, Sean Meyer, and Justin Werner, whoopty damn doo.

We knew all those guys. Now, randoms in Vegas didn’t necessarily know Werner or that I wasn’t him.

Yeah, that's the point. Who is we? I just saw some dude on the 08-09 roster named Anthony Downing and I'm certain that's the first time I've ever seen that name and I'm even more certain that's the first time it's been typed on this message board.

Remember when we had a whole thread on this guy?

goEMAW, let me explain why Alex is a hero to the student section.  He's an Everyman.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everyman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everyman)

He's there showing the guys that can't get the girls, the guys that have fun without constantly worrying about what society thinks about them, the guys that don't go out partying and sexing it up with every girl they meet, that we can accomplish something incredible.

He's a tribute to the guys who drive around the mall parking lot with the windows down blaring out Crocodile Rock, beat bumping, and singing at the top of their lungs.  (true story)

You can hate all you want, but Alex truly doesn't care.  His life and mine are fulfilling and we live each day to the most, regardless of how idiotic we look doing it.

http://blogs.kansas.com/kstated/2010/12/07/postgame-k-state-89-alcorn-st-55/


apparently he already has a name.  perhaps it can at least be changed to white sticks.

Yah, the team and coaches call him Stix.  It's even on the practice schedule as "Stix." But he much prefers Pota, his HS nickname.

edit: poorly formatted quotes.

does anyone else remember when kstate very briefly recruited or was rumored to be recruiting a player named bernard sanders or something close to that.  and no one knew who he was but people looking for him found out there was a really old, super skinny senator from vermont with either the same name or a very similar name and that was kinda funny like what if it was this guy who's a senator and probably not good at basketball?

anyways, that was a long time ago and that senator got famous since then.

We have Texas' lead recruiter, the Florida coach just took a job reset at one of them historically worst high major programs. Ohio State is a great program, however we have to win some of those battles with like teams, not all of them but definitely some of them.

I don’t understand Maximus, you get one free transfer. Wherever he goes this year is going to be somewhat of a crapshoot. He might as well take his crapshoot with the new staff at Kansas State and see how that works as a red shirt freshman. If it doesn’t work he can always take his free transfer and he has a year of actual playing time to show the new coaches. Unless he just didn’t have a choice and the new staff did not want to retain him. :dunno:

Supposedly the guys that were recruited to KSU out of HS have some kind of 4 year guarantee on their scholarship that the P5 conferences put together a few years back.  It would appear Logan is excersizing that option despite the likely feedback from coaches that he won’t see the floor.

Wasn’t there some hype around Landers as a developmental big man? Maybe #tanggang thinks they can unlock that. We all know oscar was terrible at developing bigs so I’m holding off judgement on him until I see if he can do anything with this new staff.

Total tally was 8, I wouldn’t have guessed Nijel as one of them though.   Time to start restocking the cupboards with some actual P6 players and whip our dicks out again.

Me neither, my seven would have not had Nijel or Kaosi. I was pretty adamant that Kaosi be allowed to stay, because he didn't have a redshirt year, but I didn't realize he used that redshirt year to transfer here and he still has his free transfer. I wish Selton had stayed, I think he would have been a very good role player.

Low Transfer Portal IQ here, why is everyone leaving? They don't like the new staff? Are they being told to hit the road by the new staff? Do they realize they will never see the floor with all the dudes that are going to be filling the roster?

I trust the plan but I kind of thought the plan would be to coach up about half of the existing roster and bring in dudes to fill up the balance. This is more attrition than I expected.

oscar recruited a squad full of guys that aren’t P6 players so Tang had to clean house
Ok, but wouldn't Landers be at the top of the list to be Tang'd.  (I ask this as a person who watched exactly one game from start to finish this year.)

Supposedly the guys that were recruited to KSU out of HS have some kind of 4 year guarantee on their scholarship that the P5 conferences put together a few years back.  It would appear Logan is excersizing that option despite the likely feedback from coaches that he won’t see the floor.

accurate

I understand Taj Manning is still committed. I was actually hopeful of him as a recruit. It's getting to the point we'll need bodies for practice even if players don't get many minutes.
Title: Re: Portal Kombat
Post by: MakeItRain on April 04, 2022, 07:04:39 PM
They won't need those bodies until July. The position that K-State is in right now, while undesirable, is far from precedent in the transfer portal era. Iowa State and Wichita State both recently had rosters in worse shape and both turned out better than fine. The season hasn't even ended yet.

We'll see if that's his motivation. If it's NIL he isn't picking Duke, Arizona, or Gonzaga. He's probably going to get the most NIL money, from the schools on that list, from Xavier, Marquette, or Purdue. He has far less value to the blue bloods, or programs like Arizona who constantly pump out NBA talent.

I’d put money on it being Purdue but maybe someone can convince him they can turn him into a 1st round pick.

Ayoka Lee at K-State has national deals with WingStop, Degree, H&R Block, and Academy Sports. The Big 10 and Big 12 are 1 and 2 in total NIL compensation given out to this point, the ACC and SEC are 5th and 6th BEHIND the Big East.

Yes, among many other deals they have.

Sure there are rumors t of some boosters and schools using NIL to funnel money to recruits but there hasn't been evidence of a lot of that happening. The biggest deals are going to athletes from national brands, just like it's supposed to work. The ones who think NIL has been some seedy underground operation are the same alarmists who thought it would happen when NIL was first announced. There's been no evidence of this happening at all, but I guess if you want to view your school and others like it as little ol victims, you'll see what you want to see.

He shouldn't be a starter, but come on man, look at some of the names who got regular playing time on our last two elite 8 and last two conference championship teams
Chris Merriweather 8 mpg
Adrian Diaz 7 mpg
Nino Williams 13 mpg
Levi Stockard 9 mpg
Brian Patrick 8 mpg
Mawdo Sallah 8 mpg
Amaad Wainwright 13 mpg
Austin Trice 8 mpg
Shaun Neal Williams 7 mpg

Dale Bonner for Baylor this year got 17 freaking minutes a game.

Ish, this past season, should have been a guy that got like 10 minutes a game, but because the rest of the roster was so bad, that not only did he get more minutes than he should have, but he was getting a lot of those minutes completely out of position. He also has a really limited skillset. He is best used as a 4 in a 4 out 1 in system. I don't even think he works as a stretch 5 because he is simply unable to rebound and defend another 5.

Mizzou got 5 guys already. And we’re still waiting for the 1st

It's cool, we still have three left on the roster.

Two.

who's left now?
Nowell and Massoud

So the two guys on the team without real options. Don't know if chase off everyone and recruit no one is a good strategy.

Maybe playing meaningful minutes (40) will be his pitch going forward.  :dunno:
also you can play any position you feel like

Or if we're being positive, two of the three high major players on the roster. Bradford might get a high major offer based on potential.

Nugget from kitz/man beck podcast—->Tang said that 75% of kids currently in the portal are there because they were essentially forced their by their current school. Like, the current school didn’t want them. Said that kids who aren’t in there now but will enter in the next few weeks will be kids who were wanted and good enough to stay at their current schools. Made it sound like they know a few kids who will be entering but haven’t yet and that’s where they were mainly focused. Dunno.

By Tang's calculus 25 percent of those in the portal weren't told to move on. There's some real talent in the portal already, some of whom we've offered, but haven't heard anything of visits. That doesn't mean there wasn't any, but it would seem the staff would let that info leak to calm the waters with all the defections and to build buzz. A little red meat recruiting news would do a lot to abate fan jitters.

He was stuck behind Reid and the SEC 6th man of the year.  I’m not sure he was ever going to get really good minutes with the talent in that front court.  LSU sites seems to think he has an incredibly high ceiling though.

If we can be better than last year after turning over 85% of the roster, Tang will be off to a great start.  I feel a little better now that we got the first dude.  I think some positive momentum on the recruiting trail will go a long way for a new coach.

Obviously, I hope you are correct.  However, I will believe it when I see it. The Mustang is on record as being against NIL as a means to pay for talent.  We'll see I guess.  I mean, when there are direct quotes from a kid's dad (who is a D1 Coach and savvy) saying he thinks his kid will make $500K+, I just assume that eliminates KSU under the current athletic administration.

Obviously, I hope you are correct.  However, I will believe it when I see it. The Mustang is on record as being against NIL as a means to pay for talent. 

That's not true. He correctly pointed out that the NCAA forbids NIL being used as a tool for high school recruiting, that doesn't even apply here and even if it did that doesn't mean he's "against it." He's not going to go on record advocating for breaking NCAA rules when he doesn't live in a state that doesn't have laws superceding those rules.

If Tyrese Hunter went to KU, floodaggy heads would explode and I'm here for it!

A lot of people here think he's going to UNC, there was a lot of talk about it even before he officially announced he was leaving. Marquette seem to think they're in the mix. If the transfer is simply a NIL move, for the most money, Marquette won't be beat for him. He's from there and damn near every Marquette donor and Milwaukee business will move heaven and earth to get him there.

Damn, rookie move by me on mixing them up.  I was thinking his main guy was going to be one of the Players from within the last year or two but can’t recall who it was, maybe one of the Sextons?

Curry. That collective is headed by an agent and an attorney, pretty solid.

I disagree with you, but I have disagreed with you consistently on NIL restated topics for quite some time now, so we should just save time and assume we don’t agree until something new comes up that we agree upon related to NIL.

The two he already signed were more highly rated than every single player, on the last three rosters, other than Selton Miguel and Dajuan Gordon, yep them. The only other players we've had more highly rated the last decade were Malik Harris, Claws, and Xavier Sneed. Davion Bradford and Nijel Pack were the only other top 150 high school players we've had. That's 8 top 150 players in 13 signing classes since Wally Judge. How long do we think it takes this staff to get to 8 top 150 players? 4 classes, less, more?

I think we all expect that Tang's next four will be higher rated than oscar's last four. I just think it's sloppy to assume that Tang's team next year will obviously be higher rated than oscar's team this past year, which included Mark Smith.

I did forget about Mark Smith. Than being said, he was brought in to recruit, I am not expecting him to reach the sweet 16 or anything crazy, but I do expect that he have a better roster this and every single year. He doesn't have the luxury of having a whole year with the 2022 signees but what he does is a whole roster of scholarships and literally thousands of kids in the transfer portal. It's shouldn't be an assumption, but it should be an expectation that he upgrades the talent and do so quickly, otherwise what's the point?

Or he might expose himself as someone who can't perform as the primary ball handler and do his future more harm than good. Played point as a freshman and was not on the Big 12 all-freshman team. Moved to the 2 guard as sophomore and named first-team all conference.

I wonder if Larranaga promised Nijel that he'd get to play point guard.

He won't harm his future earnings because he isn't a point guard and he'll be playing primarily shooting guard before conference play.

Somebody should really do a deep dive on this just because it's interesting.  Life Wallet just launched a few months ago and judging by the amount of views the youtube videos have that they have posted on their website (sub 100), they have no traffic even though they claim to have over 1 million users. 

Life Wallet is owned by a company called MSP Recovery which was supposed to be going public via SPAC at a $32.6 billion valuation. The merger hasn't actually happened yet despite being announced last July.

https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/wealth/payments-recovery-company-msps-spac-deal-value-combined-firm-326-bln-bloomberg-2021-07-12/

MSP is owned by a guy named John Ruiz who seems to have a sketchy background... 

Quote
Over the years the Miami lawyer has hosted a Spanish language cable-TV show, owned a high school sport website and worked on class-action lawsuits. At one point, his luxury cigarette boat was repossessed, according to a published report — an episode Ruiz has called a misunderstanding. Yet today Ruiz is on the cusp of a $23 billion fortune as his MSP Recovery enters into a merger with Lionheart Acquisition Corporation II, a $230 million special purpose acquisition company founded by a former member of an Israel Defense Forces elite combat unit who spent most of his career in real estate.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-07-14/florida-lawyer-ex-paratrooper-forge-a-33-billion-spac-deal

Here's a story about him wanting to build UM a new football stadium...

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/coral-gables/article256428481.html

In that article he talks a lot about his net worth and how huge it's going to be after the SPAC merger, but the vast majority of that would only be on paper considering the SPAC involves a comparatively small $230 million investment.  He expected it to go through in January, but they had to put it on a 6 month extension and I doubt it will get done.  It's all very Miami.

M&A guy, here. It's an ... ambitious valuation, to say the least (e.g., the target company forecasted $0 in gross revenue in 2021 and $10B+ in gross revenue in 2023). You should read up on SPACs, as these are not your grandfather's kind of business combinations.

I don't really get this move by the agent.  The University is not part of this (other than in a wink, wink, nudge, nudge way) so threatening to leave puts no leverage on them like it would in a pro league.  It puts a little pressure on the NIL collective but I am guessing the contract is written in their favor and simply won't pay him if he leaves.  This seems like a pretty empty threat, and doesn't he only have a couple of days left to enter the portal?

In this guy's defense the Miami billionaires didn't treat him like they did Pack.  Pack scored a lot of points on a shitty team and received $800k.  This guy took his team to Elite 8 and is probably getting a fraction of what Pack is getting.  If Miami sucked last year this wouldn't be an issue.  Or maybe if Pack's offer wasn't so publicized it wouldn't be an issue.  What a mess for college coaches.

I don't think you're entitled to more NIL just because you're one of the better players on the team.

I think there are two types of these deals:

1.  Collectives which are just pay-to-play.  The marketing aspect in most cases is just a token effort to keep a thin veneer of legitimacy.  This is the Miami debacle that is currently going on.
2.  True NIL where a player's contract is actually tied to their marketing value and what the intent was.  Most players would not be seeing any significant real-world money in this category. 

This is going to quickly become unmanageable.  I think the only solution is to admit the players are employees and then have them form a union so that this stuff can be collectively bargained like in the pro-leagues.

The NCAA has been able to maintain Non Profit status because they are furthering the education of college athletes. Athletes negotiating as a union for what amounts to wages essentially turns it into a minor league. At least that would be the argument.

Are you supposed to be providing some sort of charity for tax-exempt status, or is the threshold simply that you don't make money? Because if you have to provide some sort of charitable benefit, I can see how your employees being the beneficiaries might be problematic. If it's just that you don't make money, then university athletics are probably going to be just fine, as laughable as that is.

You can be a non-profit without being a charity. The biggest difference I think is that contributions/donations to charities give tax benefits to the donor (i.e., they are incentivized), whereas those to other non-profits do not.

The exempt purposes set forth in section 501(c)(3) are charitable, religious, educational, scientific, literary, testing for public safety, fostering national or international amateur sports competition, and preventing cruelty to children or animals. The term charitable is used in its generally accepted legal sense and includes relief of the poor, the distressed, or the underprivileged; advancement of religion; advancement of education or science; erecting or maintaining public buildings, monuments, or works; lessening the burdens of government; lessening neighborhood tensions; eliminating prejudice and discrimination; defending human and civil rights secured by law; and combating community deterioration and juvenile delinquency.

https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/charitable-organizations/exempt-purposes-internal-revenue-code-section-501c3

This is the high-level requirements for non-profits.  As long as you can tie the athletes to an educational purpose then you fall under these requirements.  In my experience, the IRS is very loose on interpreting these standards.  You could probably argue that the stadiums are public buildings but would need a lawyer to check that one.

This is the high-level requirements for non-profits.  As long as you can tie the athletes to an educational purpose then you fall under these requirements.  In my experience, the IRS is very loose on interpreting these standards.  You could probably argue that the stadiums are public buildings but would need a lawyer to check that one.

I mean, there's also that sports competition part, but what do I know? (not much)

Yea, scrappy defender, not going to pick pockets often, but he makes life miserable for his man. Before this year he was a good for a few clutch 3’s a game, but this year was pretty bad from 3. Would be a good defensive compliment to someone like Davis, but I don’t think it’s ruining our plans if he doesn’t come here.

He could come back, but I doubt he will. It's unlikely his stock will ever get higher than it is now (late first round/early second round projections).

It would not surprise me, if Coach Tang had a hand in placing Logan Landers with Scott Drew’s brother. Logan is a quality kid with a good attitude, but needs playing time, development and time in the weight room. Also would not surprise me if Logan Landers transferred back to K State or Baylor in a couple years. I have a hard time believing that Coach Tang would burn a relationship with any of K State’s former players. Being honest with a kid about where he fits in the college basketball world is the tough love that some kids need

I think casual. He doesn't need a personal driver like huggy, but I think he likes to break bread at dinner.

Bradford went 5 for 5 for 11 points and snagged 4 rebounds in Wake's victory against Georgia. Wake fans on Reddit say he lost 40 pounds during the offseason and is moving well.

Nah, that weight gain was on Bradford. Y'all know in very pro student athlete, they work hard and they sacrifice a lot. To gain as much weight as he did, at his age, that's a lot of bad habits and a little of doing the things you're expected to do as a college athlete.

I'm very happy for him, I hope he improves on the promise he showed as a freshman.

I just don't see a Tang allowing one of his players to slide that badly during the offseason. He just seems so much more connected to his team and demanding of offseason conditioning/work habits.

It's not like he's going to be all-ACC or anything. He had a dece game against a bad Georgia team. This is about Bradford salvaging his college career after bloating up under the watchful eyes of Oscar and mailing in last year.

Yeah he was, even in high school. Look at Bay Bay and N'Guessan, Bradford isn't and hasn't been that mobile, versatile. That's not necessarily bad, just not what Tang looks for in bigs. I don't remember Baylor having a traditional 90's type center either.
