Won’t see us get a transfer wing until after that date I would imagine. Both Key and Phillips would both be in that category.

Yea I've heard the NIL #'s fans get from recruiting outlets are pretty skewed.  Not sure if Hunter is getting $2m/yr, but I would bet a Nigel Pack $400k/yr figure is realistic.

Didn't it come out that Pack's NIL deal was some MLM marketing scheme that could be worth that much if he's a good enough salesman?

Maybe?  I honestly have no idea.  I do know that his $ amounts have been referenced quite a bit as people talk about the Hunter D. move.

Phillips entering the portal is pretty much telling everyone he won't be entering the draft.  I could see him committing somewhere before end of month (unless he is truly considering us).  We should start seeing player decisions after the combine which is 15th-21st.

I thought I read that the guy who was behind Nigel’s NIL, as well as a few other athletes’, went bankrupt and the NILs disappeared?

I thought I remembered hearing that Nijel's (Christ, you guys can't even spell your own guy's name) NIL package ended up being vouchers for up to 400,000 crispy tacos from Taco Bell, if used during the duration of his Miami career.

He got invited to the NBA Combine and he entered the pre draft process in April

I know the company wasn't doing well and people were talking about his NIL deals.  He tweeted a couple months ago that he never missed a NIL payment in response.

In my defense, I stopped watching Bruceketball like 4 yrs ago.

There's no way in hell that dude is getting $2 million a year. Nijel's $400,000 a year was confirmed by he and John Ruiz. The company isn't a ponzi scheme, per se, but no one know's what John Ruiz's company LifeWallet does. The company is publicly traded and as of a couple of weeks ago, it was trading at a whole 50 cents a share.

Dont worry. It's not your money.

lol, it's fine 'zif, I didn't expect you to walk back any of your weird and unnecessary bluster in this thread. I didn't think you would be so committed to having the last word that you would reply without having anything to say.

I think players make a lot more money transferring than they do staying where they are at.  Dickenson is rumored to be making a crap ton at KU.

Pretty true for all jobs in general.

Easily 7 figures, possibly 8 figures.

Keyontae didn't make the scrimmage roster at the draft combine. He did get measured, short with long arms.

I don't think he's getting any taller with another year. maybe his freak arms will grow longer though? not sure when arms stop growing.

Arms are like ears. He might have a 10' wingspan when he reaches age 80.
