When coaches talk about recruiting parents, this is what they’re talking about.

Just like Troy Williams'  moms, right?

That is a bummer, I’ve collected them since 1990 and it’s always had the schedule.  I like it on there

Did they IU - Auburn game tickets go on sale this morning?  I got an email from the site saying tickets would go on sale at 10am today but it seems it may be the other game.  Firewall blocked me from checking here at work so navigating on the phone it appeared to be the other game.

Jordan Rayford and Jackson Creel added to the roster as walk-ons.

Surprised Rayford is walking on. He had some other D1 offers out of HS, and surely could have landed somewhere else on scholarship. 

Makes sense for us obviously. Get what appears to be a high quality kid, with skills above your standard walk-on, but doesn't take a spot for multiple years...especially with the 2024 kids we are on.

Love this as a walk-on spot.  Why not.

NIL changes everything. He could get a scholarship and go play somewhere else buy very likely can make more here in NIL and pay for college

I'm ignorant when it comes to NIL. 

Is there a general pool of money that is distributed to out to the basketball team from a collective, in addition to the individual NIL deals per player. Or...is it all individual. Trying to understand how much a relatively unknown walk-on guy can make.

Yes, there is a pool and individual deals.  Leal, a scholarship guy, paid his sisters schooling from his portion.  So it’s hard to give specific numbers but it’s significant.
