Yeah, but didn't learn how to rebound either.

Dingle just started following Xavier Johnson on Instagram. Not a bad thing to see.

Do these schools have that much?  Wow!  Also, wouldn’t he want to get out of the rough and tumble B10?

Saw KU was offering $4 mill, but it seems like these numbers are just being thrown out there

Oscar was reported early to be 2 mil+ but later word suggested he ended up getting 3-4 mil.  
 

Lots of schools have access to lots of money.  Those that want to win find a way.  I’m not surprised to hear Maryland going all out.  Willard/Maryland NIL game seems pretty strong.  Is that recycled UA money?  Or other big perks?

We don’t have a roster spot really for what he provides.   Hopefully we can get strong with Dingle.  Also, going to keep my hopes up for Mgbako for now.

Free market baybeeeeeeeeeee.

Get that socialist **** out of my face. Adults can choose where the personal profit is, within the stated industry regulations.

I’m very curious where the cost benefit ratio lies from a University standpoint.  Seemed like 2 mill was top per player but now it’s seeming that might not be the ceiling.  6 figures seem like a standard power 5 number.  And then all the in between.
 

13 scholarships.  What did Ryan Day say he needed for OSU football?  13 million?  17?  
 

If power 5 schools are paying coaches 3-10 mil and then spending close to a mil in recruiting budget you can start to imagine where the moneyline might be.

It's an interesting question. The universities are not paying for NIL.

However, and this is a big "however," this booster contribution effort does drain the ability of a university to get direct contributions from those boosters. The boosters aren't an unlimited funding source for all initiatives. But, if a booster wants to contribute to the Hunter Dickinson NIL collective, the university doesn't have a lot of power to tell boosters not to.

We are not long shots there. We have just as much chance as the rest. 

I like your optimism but you speak it as fact. I think that’s just your opinion. Correct me if I’m wrong. My opinion is we are long shots. It’s clear Adidas wants him from his list of schools. The question is does he want Adidas and how much are they offering. All of the schools on his list have NIL. This is in regards to Mgbako and I know this isn’t the thread.
 

so back on topic I think there is a much greater reason to be optimistic about other players in the portal. I really like Dingle and hope that we are able to land him. I think other intriguing name over the next week would be Miles Kelly. He hasn’t entered the portal. Declared for draft but from what I can tell isn’t listed as a top prospect. Georgia Tech has had a coaching change and roster has turned over a ton. Ya connection to Georgia. Shot 38% on over 7 3’s/game. Listed in GT website as 6’6 175. Point being I think we fill the last 2 spots from the portal. So many things will happen between now and May 11 when the portal “closes” imo
