Collin Chandler (Kentucky) who entered the portal a couple of days ago sent a message out to UK fans saying he appreciated them and everything Coach Pope did for him, but that he would be returning to play at home.  He's from Utah, so that would either be Utah or BYU -- with their NIL, I would assume it's BYU.

Hodgeson and Providence making some splashes.  Dink Pate and Miles Byrd today.  Not terrible for Providence. Pate has been in rumor circles for many.  

Of all G-League kids trying to find their way back to college Pate is by far the best.

Kinda surprised he’s entering after the March heroics but wouldn’t mind kicking the tires on this one

Iowa fans have been expecting this... he probably earned himself a pay day in the tournament and for him it may be as good a check as he will ever get.

PGs and Cs in the portal are getting crazy money. Super interesting to see where results stand compared to reported NIL budgets. 

I'd give him a look.

That’s rough. I like him.  But man, gotta be annoying as an Iowa fan not to keep him after this year. Iowa is always gonna have a ceiling no matter how great their coach is.  Thankfully.

We will see about that... I just am not convinced that there is a limitation if / when you have a great coach (don't wanna restart the McCollum debate). All it takes is nailing the scout consistently enough for the stars to align IMO. Certainly more of an uphill climb at Iowa than UNC. 

And totally sucks for Iowa fans regardless

I have no idea what Iowa was paying him but who knows…this could be a case of him hoping to go from 400-500k to 1.8-2.0mm.
I can’t imagine being in college (if you can call some of these kids actually being in college) and having schools waving multi-millions at me. Crazy times.

These times are only going to get crazier. The NCAA is toothless, and Congress is terrified of being drawn into the fray. Either party's legislation would be challenged in the courts and used as a ball bat during election periods. I can easily see contracts for college athletes skyrocketing, and eligibility rules lengthened to the point college athletics collapses under it's own weight.

Good one:  Eric Reibe, 7'1" freshman center from U Conn.  Ranked 36th out of high school and was part of their rotation.

In 13.8 minutes/game, averaged 5.9 pts and 3.3 reb.

Eric Reibe was a Woody offer May '23; committed to UConn Oct. '24.  He attended Bullis School in Potomoc, MD so KJ may have had contact with him at his previous stop.
