I was referring to the rumors that Kiki was about to enter the portal. We'd been waiting for confirmation.This wasn’t a shock or a break the internet because it had been widely rumored even before Vandeerveer’s retirement.
I think that was either a whole lot of nothing, or they heard a rumor about someone who changed their mind.
My thinking exactly. Iowa and IU look like the sort of culture Lucy could thrive in, and the coaches who would support her.Iowa, I get. For some reason, I could see her also fitting in well with Teri Moren at IU.
By culture you mean? What would these coaches have in terms of support that let's say Brenda Freese wouldn't have?My thinking exactly. Iowa and IU look like the sort of culture Lucy could thrive in, and the coaches who would support her.
I have never known what fans mean by “ culture.” Particularly Vol fans who apparently mean “ winning like Pat did.By culture you mean? What would these coaches have in terms of support that let's say Brenda Freese wouldn't have?
I thought I had heard Stanford didn’t really do NIL? $700k for a season ? I think the NC State MEN’s team was around $1 mil for the entire team this year if “sources” on the internet are close to being accurate.
I don’t think it’s low. I don’t have in depth knowledge but from what I have gathered $25k per player on the roster in women’s basketball would be pretty impressive. From the way you describe it, that’s a baseline. I highly doubt NC State has anything like that.So, SCar’s NIL collective payments of 25,000 per player for 12 roster members is really, really low. ( this does not include individual NIL negotiated by the players and their agents)

I don't think it's completely "bull dung", it just gets framed in the wrong way. University boosters are basically telling recruits that they have resources to boost their NIL value to X dollars. It's not a guarantee but just a boast about the school's reach, visibility, and resources to increase follower counts, make industry contacts, and other similar tactics. It very different to say "we can make you worth a million" vs. "we will give you one million". I bet a lot of these numbers we hear are true but framed wrongly. In the above Iriafen case, a school probably approached her after conducting some research to show her a plan that could lead to $760,000 in NIL. It's basically just market forecasting in the ideal scenario.I wrote that in reference to ( what I think was bull dung) the statement that a Stanford was looking at having to pay 760,000 for one player.
There are a lot of rumors about NIL and I think 95% are bull dung.
LSU was offering half a million to Strong, Edwards and Cambridge - supposedly. They didn’t land any of them! Did UConn and SCar pay mor for Strong and Edwards? No. South Carolina offered Edwards .$25,000. She can make more in her individual NIL deals .

That seems like it’d be a weird fitx.com

Yeah, I don’t get Lucy playing next to Hannah and Olivia. And as good as Lucy is, I think Hannah is a bit better.That seems like it’d be a weird fit
Me neither. You already got Miles, Hidalgo, and Citron. She isn’t going to come off the bench. I think Olsen will go to Iowa. There’s online speculation that a transfer is down to UCLA/ND. Could it be Gardiner from Oregon State. I wonder?…That seems like it’d be a weird fit
Why do you think Notre Dame would have an interest in her then?Yeah, I don’t get Lucy playing next to Hannah and Olivia. And as good as Lucy is, I think Hannah is a bit better.
No clue. I just don’t think she would come off the bench for them. I still think Iowa.Why do you think Notre Dame would have an interest in her
LUCY OLSEN to N.D.??x.com

My guess is that Lucy Olsen would not be coming in as a PG or Combo Guard and that she would be usedNo clue. I just don’t think she would come off the bench for them. I still think Iowa.I would guess that LUCY OLSEN would switch from being a PG? to shooting guard an let Hannah.
AgreedThat seems like it’d be a weird fit
