Washington State point guard Myles Rice trending towards Indiana – The Daily Hoosier

 

Snip it below from the article above:

"The 6-foot-3 and 180-pound Rice rewrote the school freshman record book at WSU, breaking the single-game scoring, single-season scoring, single-season steals, single-season assists, single-season field goals, and single-season free throw percentage records. He averaged 14.8 points per game and led the Cougars to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 16 years." 

If Rice did this as a freshman at IU he'd have twice maybe three times the recognition that he has currently.  

Correct. Is there a more obscure outpost in power conference sports than Pullman, WA? They wildly over-achieved and the kid who hadn’t played in 2 years was 1 of the core reasons.

Maxime Raynaud, the No. 1 player in the On3 Industry Transfer Portal, announced he will return to Stanford.  The 7-foot-1 center averaged 15.5 points and 9.6 rebounds per game last season.

Nice sales job by Smith.

When I saw your post I looked up Smith. Makes you wonder how he didn't bring his Wazzu guard with him and keep the Stanford guard. Could he still be a factor where they turn down IU or is it already a done deal like @Chris007 says it is? I believe Chris007 but still makes you wonder why they didn't go to Stanford.

I think the big issue for Smith with a lot of kids is gonna be the insane travel. The idea of a Northern California school playing in the ACC is stone nuts. Both those kids talked about getting closer to home and Bloomington may not be close to Atlanta, but at least it is drivable.

Carlyle struggled with grades early on and actually missed the first part of the season because of it, so could be a reason why he is trying to get out, and Myles Rice was severely overlooked coming out of high school who has positioned himself to play at a bigger and better program where he can make some money.

Plus I keep forgetting that Washington State is going to be a temporary Mountain West school until they figure out what to do with them and Oregon State. I wonder how large the NIL Purse is at Stanford. I cannot even fathom Stanford in the ACC. Horrendous.

It's virtually non-existent. A huge reason why their football program has fallen off a cliff these last 3-4 years.

One of the biggest stars in the women’s game.

I would guess very little but with the right coach possibly pretty competitive. Stanford alumni in the tech sector alone could find $6mil in their couch cushions. Not the nice living room couch either, but the crappy one relegated to the pool house.  Lots of them right in the Bay area too.  The thing is I doubt they care about sports. 
 

But if you had a dynamic young coach who could get them a little excited I could see one of the younger billionaires peeling off a million or something. Kind of like the SMU deal. Not much there now, but I’d rather be fishing those waters than up in Pullman or Corvallis.

Gibson Jimerson withdraws from the portal and will head back to St. Louis.  IU had contacted him earlier.

Rhylan Griffen from Alabama into the portal.  He's a good one.  6'6" sophomore forward.  Averaged 11.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists.  74 of 189 from three (39%).

I’m sure Jimerson took 1 look at ISU tape and wet himself. Perfect for him. No way he was leaving that. I don’t really get what Griffen’s doing if it’s not a straight money grab. That system is such a great fit for him. No way he’s better anywhere else.
