Message: [QUOTE="BRS24, post: 4619888, member: 197"] Saw this tweet by Adia Barnes, and it got me thinking about what's important to players right now. Is she saying it's important because for some schools, it will be the top focus, with academics and athletics to follow, or is the comment a reflection on how NIL is changing the game, along with the portal, so there are so many moving parts? Some may know, deep down, they don't have a chance in the W, so a degree and some NIL $ is the focus. Some players who know they will either play in the W or internationally, however for some, NIL $$ will be just as important, as the W doesn't pay like the NBA. [ATTACH type="full"]87100[/ATTACH] In listening to some of Geno's interviews regarding recruiting, he has an incredibly hard line on NIL discussions. He's made it clear that if the NIL topic comes up early, he's out. He wants players to commit to UConn for athletics & academics, and if NIL happens, great. [/QUOTE]
