Someone posted that some Michigan folks think they’re in for Wolf. I figured Goldin was for sure headed to Michigan but only room for one.
The transfer portal opens today

Middleton is an obvious fit. You can never have enough athletic 3nD wings.

He had a UConn offer. His size would work well in Hurley's system.
This could be a good get.

If this is really true then I say a hard PASS on AJ Storr

This feels about how I expected his recruitment would go…

This kind of BS is totally against the spirit of NIL. I feel like in some ways college is turning into more of a pay-for-play than the pros. At least they have salary caps, union rules, etc.
Hard to blame them if they’re not a pro prospect. But realistically, if you’re not a good team without hood coaches, you probably don’t have a lot of NIL. So really, some are more trying to optimize this opportunity while probably still wanting to win and play well.

Some Yale fan. Wishful thinking.

I also have serious doubts that social media isn’t exaggerating it. It can be self serving to blow up these numbers and values. Kids know how to game this system. It remains against the rules for the school to induce enrollment with NIL. At some point the NCAA will enforce that.

And contracts. A college kid is worth $750,000 for potentially 1 year?
It also doesn't feel like these kind of recruitments will work out the vast majority of the time.

That was the knock. Weird, seems like he can’t hit a shot outside 3s apparently.

Seems 1000% logical.
Michigan has had admissions/NIL issues before. We’ve seen sure things miss in the past. Ex: Clayton Jr going Florida (closer to home) than St John’s
Gonna be awesome when they start paying high schoolers and enabling futures contracts! Europes been doing it forever. Decades ago Messi got his family a new life in Spain when he was just a kid. NIL is just a poorly conceived and run half measure imo.
Shannon Jr. and Love both couldn't transfer in and they were coming from better schools than FAU in TTU and UNC.

Yes. This is a result of Emmert doing absolutely nothing when it became obvious that players would be able to receive NIL money and still be eligible.
The NCAA should have had attorneys thoroughly receive the basis of the lawsuit, understood what the student athletes would be able to receive under the basic spirit of the suit and then set guidelines. As that did not happen, it became a free for all.

How does the process work? This is not guaranteed and the money does not come directly from the school. Do boosters verbally agree to provide the NIL funding? Can the money just pass hands or is the player required to perform NIL activities to receive payment? Could a booster pay 1M for a single event? Thanks in advance.
