It might change every year or so. but how is Texas Tech a significant player in the transfer portal market this off season? I'm scratching my head over that one.

Every incoming player gets a $25,000 salary. That would be the starting point, I suspect.

Texas Tech or Texas A&M? I don't recall seeing any recent announcements for Texas Tech, but I could have missed them.

Both have gotten a handful. A&M w/ the more high profile players, but I think Tech has added some pieces that can help them.
 
How do you pay a $25k salary? I’ve heard that is what is happening at LSU, but much higher numbers. Is it because it is completely unregulated. I honestly don’t understand how this is happening. I think I understand where the money is coming from ( for LSU players) but how do you pay a flat fee? That is not NIL that is pay to play.

On our premium board it has been stated that we are not involved w/Spear because she is asking for a minimum of $100k.

I’m all for NIL. What I’m not for is pay to play. Make it make sense.

What are the players actually doing though? NIL from my understanding is when players work with companies to promote products and earn money that way. I spot checked a couple of IG accounts from Tech players and saw no mention anywhere of Matador Club. Matador Club itself is a non profit that specifically focuses on helping out Texas Tech athletes.
 
I agree it’s completely out of hand if any of these rumors are true of these kids asking for certain amounts to come to the school. I think as a coach if you are putting these recruits in contact with certain sponsors who offer a huge NIL package that you are playing with fire. I’m fine with a whole team getting a deal if criteria is met meaning they do the work (social media posts, appearances, etc). But if you are bringing in a recruit and they get offered more than players on your roster then eventually it’s going to breed resentment.
Spear only has 4600 followers. Aneesah Morrow entered the portal with less than 4000 but her following has grown to 11,000 but still no where near many WBB players. The players who should get big deals are ones that have built up their followers to where their social media presence reaches far more than that.

They should be putting THEIR money and time where their mouths are. The whole premise of NIL was that players had some marketing value and were not profiting from that value. OK...green light. Make your money. Leave the schools and their activities...primarily out of it. Don't ask money from schools (you're already on scholarship), or advice on who to approach...other than who NOT to approach. NIL cannot be a recruiting tool. It's supposed to benefit the players.
 
I’m fine with schools have NIL departments to help young people understand the deals and requirements of those deals, but it has to be kept out of recruiting. You should not be able to meet with anyone wanting to give you a deal until after you have signed. Problem is there is no way to really police that and that is why we have the mess we are in. I really think you should have to play for a school for a year before deals are made. I doubt many would be promised any large deals a year in advance.

Your responses are exactly my point.

I absolutely support NIL, in theory. Hailey Van Lith was a case in point. She has an agent and they define/found deals for her. She had a couple National brand deals ( Dicks and JCPenny’s). Love it, that is what I thought NIL is supposed to be. The onus is on the SA to market themselves.

With the NCAA refusing to deal with the issue, it appears we have already entered pay to play scenarios. It is what I have been hearing from AAU coaches I have contact with, and the Spear info comes off our Premium board from the owner of that board. Not a fan. The primary journalist that covers athletics. So, it certainly carries more weight than hearing it from fans.

This version of NIL I am not a fan of. Maybe regulations will come into play and the pendulum will swing back toward what we all think NIL is supposed to be. But until that happens, the current system is rotten.

I think this should be a great fit. For one thing, she played on the Philadelphia Rise team with Vandy's rising sophomore Ryanne Allen. That tells me two things: Allen gave her high marks as a teammate and Allen is happy at Vandy.

Pissott just was never able to find her place on coach Harper's squad. I was surprised she didn't play her more to give her a chance to find that rhythm. I think with transfers Rickea Jackson, Jasmine Franklin and Hollingshead to contend with on the wing and in the post, Harper just got boxed in a little bit with the logistics of dishing out playing time. The freshman wound up with the short end of the stick. To her credit, Pissott never seemed to show signs of discontent. I'm sure many Lady Vol fans will immediately start the "she was never good enough to play here anyway" refrain, but I think she can be a huge help to coach Ralph and Vandy. I think she could be a huge help to a lot of teams, including the Lady Vols if given more opportunity.

I think this is easily Shea's top recruiting coup so far. Fingers crossed it's the first of many.

Hopefully she has already packed up and moved out of Knoxville before this was announced. :eek:

This was my one "out-of-the-box" thoughst for ND: convince Pissot to come to South Bend and apprentice/back up Maddy Westbeld for a year, then take over for Maddy when she turns pro. Well, that was some seriously misguided wishful thinking :rolleyes:

This is probably Coach Shea Ralph's highest-ranked incoming player, right? Perhaps it can serve as an impetus for both she and Pissot. As noted, Shea might want to put Justine is player protection for awhile. :cool:;)

I believe Taiyier Parks from Michigan State has transferred to Ohio State. I wonder if this is the "athletic post player" the insider mentioned back when speculation of Celeste going to OSU was. OSU desperately needs another big body who can rebound and defend in the post. I haven't seen much of her game but she is a Grad Transfer.

Parks and "athletic post player" doesn't jive from what I recall of her play. She definitely is a big body, but her motor is inconsistent. If she is going to OSU, she also has to be more disciplined when defending. She can be reckless which gets her into foul trouble.

If OSU can get her to focus and be consistent, she'll be a good addition.

Yeah...I didn't think it sounded correct. But the only game I really watched was a MSU Big Ten tourney game and I think she fouled out both times? I don't see her being a big minute player, but even if it's just to switch up looks and give Walker/Mikulasikova a breather.

Also she now has an opportunity to graduate from a school that is stronger in academics. ND could have provided that opportunity too.
