He definitely was a run-buster. We’d have a nice lead and momentum, then he’d come in, make a few silly turnovers, and the lead would get cut in half. We had to give Enright a break, but Conerway really hurt us with poor decision making.

He seemed to be visibly frustrated with his bench role down the stretch of the season. Its unfortunate that Conerway got injured, but Enright was just a better fit for our style of play. Throwing games is crazy, but I do think he was clearly pissed.

It definitely looked that way

Jamie Shaw hyping this young man -

D2 fans already know. The D1 world is about to catch on.  Antonio Pusateri just hit the Transfer Portal: 16.9 PPG, 11.2 RPG, 22 double-doubles. 30+ D1 programs circling as he sets up calls and visits.

According to the Lubbock Christian website, he never attempted a single 3 and was a pretty sad 43% FT shooter.  Listed at 6'7".

I’ll start by saying I’ve never heard of this young man or seen him play. But a 6’7” kid that cant/wont shoot 3s and can’t make ft’s does not sound like someone that would be successful in a P4 conference.

Stefan Vaaks from Providence is a name to watch per Bobby Bags in the last page of this thread. Peegs mentioned him a week ago and I’d assume Bobby bags is probably a member there and Trilly and acting the insider.  Vaaks is an interesting option.

[Demo]

Northwestern 7 footer Cade Bennerman entering the portal. Redshirted his freshman year. Had a pretty nice list before picking NW including, if you believer 247, a Michigan offer. From what I can find of him he’s really long, very fluid, runs well and appears to have a fair bit to work with. Redshirted because he’s a late developer and looks like he didn’t weigh much more than 200 when he would have hit campus. Got to confess, an athletic 7 footer with 4 years  of eligibility and has been well coached for the last year hits some of my hot buttons for a backup 5 pretty good. May dig into him a bit.

This may be the wrong forum, but how do the NIL rules apply to players making commercials or appearing in movies? Of course not every team would have the ability to promote a player to appear in corporate commercials or a role in a movie, but some teams might have those connections. I noticed the Boozers appearing in commercials there are probably others. This seems a little unfair in that some schools may be able to promise players not only a certain amount of money but also opportunities to make even more money in commercials or a bit role in a movie! I think this may create an unfair advantage.

Fair?  Rules?  In college sports?

Players are allowed to be in all the commercials and movies they can get roles in.  Though national ad campaigns seem to be only for the top few players in CBB and CFB.  Like Arch Manning or Caitlin Clark or Cam.

Even pre-NIL, big programs had the advantage of providing more exposure to a player which ultimately leads to opportunities.  And in the NIL world it's amplified.  Players have more money making opportunities at a big place like Texas than at Iowa St.

Is what it is.  Not to get in the weeds, but if you're interested, the way NIL turns into pay for play is the school's media partner promises/guarantees a certain amount of NIL "opportunities" for the player while they're at the school.  These opportunities are mostly nonsense and not actually worth it from a marketing point of view, but this approach with the media partner works within the NIL "rules."  So, for example, a Blue Chip player's deal will be something like $1M of rev share with the school and $3M of guaranteed NIL ops from the school's media partner, and that's how they make $4M per year.

Kinda silly but that's the system right now.

Yes.  Krshevski was given roles in national ads for years, that was a nice recruiting advantage for sure.

Dang! Cigs could be perfect for funny ads, but he's too locked in for such things I'd figure.

I'd love to see him do his own version of the commercials Knight used to do. Those were hilarious

Thanks for the info....if I were Cronin I would be getting to know some of the Hollywood producers/directors and make UCLA fans out of them, they could offer movie and TV roles to players he is recruiting! If it's legal, why not use it!

That is actually the whole point behind NIL.   It’s been bastardized by the “collectives” acting like a payroll.
