Big East Portal Additions

[navery12]

Aren't Lewis and KJ the same player?

I also thought so first but Acaden Lewis

A LOT to like here and just what the doctor ordered:

Transfer Portal Film Room: Najai Hines

In this video, we break down Najai Hines’ transfer portal value, including his defensive impact, rebounding dominance, and offensive skill set. If you’re following college basketball recruiting, transfer portal rankings, or looking for underrated impact players, this is a name you need to know.

Is he offensively good enough? The defense and shot blocking look great.

That is what I am wondering as well. I think he would be solid portal pickup. I have some other names I think would be better, but I will take that to another thread.

St. John's has been quiet.

Goodman was saying earlier that BE teams are at an advantage right now because of the rev share angle. Other P4 programs have limited rev share because of football. So they now have to come up with real NIL through the clearinghouse.

Really? I thought this got debunked because we (BE) only have a fraction of the revenue to share

I highly doubt the power 4 programs are adhering to any loosely imposed limitations on their spending. They know the NCAA will do nothing to enforce. Everything ends up in the courts.

I don't disagree that they will try. But right now this stuff seems out in the open. Rev share is easy. The other NIL has to be approved. Agents know this.

Just waiting for them to make UConn an example to non-P4 types to not get too uppity.

I get what you are saying and don't disagree. With that said, when Kentucky, St Johns, BYU, Texas Tech, Arkansas, etc...end up with transfer all-star teams are we all going to pretend this is on the up and up? The NCAA will probably just approve any and all NIL deal presented. They don't have the manpower to investigate all these deals. It used to take them until mid-season to investigate one players eligibility.

The day I see P4 schools adhere fully enough to the alleged rules that the BE ends up with a massive advantage is the day I'll believe it will happen.

It’s done with Algorithms and AI in a system designed by Deloitte. Car dealership in Kentucky agrees to pay player x $1m to do a tv commercial broadcast in Lexington. The software will determine if that fee is bogus by comparing to other similar deals in similar markets. The old NIL was here is $3m. I need you to visit a children’s hospital. Those are gone, now they need proof the car dealership is really paying that and they would pay that to other people of a similar stature of fame.

Also, it’s not the NCAA. It’s a court appointed commission.

Good to see the Big East is losing kids like Acadien Lewis and KJ and picking up random guys off the SEC bottom feeders I've never heard of. Really moving in the right direction.

Byrd was a nice PU by PC.

You hate Lewis.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

We barely got to the second page of this thread before it became full blown "woe is me" complaining about the Big East.

Providence should be a tourney team if Hodgson is legit. They lost a lot but will have great key players to work with regardless.

Hines recruiting aside, watching Seton Hall and Sha rebuild every single year because of their inability to retain their best players is depressing. They’re getting no returns from what could’ve been a promising follow up to this year.

Otherwise Xavier should improve substantially next year, I like the pickup with LSU’s center. Marquette is the true wild card, have to see how Shaka adjusts. Butler - RIP.

Sha and Shaka need to go to better financed programs asap. I thought a tournament run Keith’s from getting a sniff at the UNC job.

I think what we're finding is that schools with no revenue have difficulty capitalizing on their new revenue share advantage....

How could they stop TurboTax from paying Braylon Mullins? They all can do whatever they want.

Am I reading this right? 16 ppg in the G-League to Providence? WOW.

Another professional washout back to the college ranks

6’8” PG was a top recruit a couple of years ago that Hodgson had ready to go at Alabama and he decided to go to G league. Kentucky fans are losing their mind after losing two of their top targets to PC in one day. I’ve already lost mine. WTF is happening?

Another professional washout back to the college ranks

He’s not a washout, turned down multiple promotions to the Knicks to do this. Someone is counseling this young man properly.

Good to know. They will still find a way to tilt the playing field. They always have and they always will. Do we really expect these wealthy people that have been buying rosters the last couple years to just stand down? Cuz rich people love being told no and playing fair. Do we really expect Will Wade and Calipari to say "oh well, rules are rules?" They will just go back to giving money under the table like they used to and everything will come full circle.

I don’t disagree, just wanted to let you know how it’s “supposed” to work.

He turned down a 10 day contract lol. Either way, point is this shouldn’t be legal, everyone knows it

He turned down Kentucky.

He turned down Kentucky.

What’s that have to do with my point? I would also turn down Kentucky if the money was the same or better elsewhere

Cool, I hope you accept the most money you're offered in the portal.

Like what’s happening? Seriously. Is this for real. Can we get any dumber. ?? Now we have almost g leaguers coming back to college? I guess this whole thing goes as long as the ncaa or congress will let it till someone steps in. They prolly want to let it get so bad that this whole thing implodes. Then they can swoop in and “clean” it up
