I did not change the conversation. My first statement clearly stated: " SCar pays wbb players 25,000 per year. No signing bonuses for transfers. PERIOD." I then discussed the transparency of our $25,000 NIL collective.
Wanna' find something potentially insidious about us to worry about or to blame IF we get a top rated transfer to one of the best wbb programs in the country?
Here ya' go. Klutch Sports represents wbb players in finding NIL opportunities. It even represents high schoolers before they commit to a college. The WBB division is headed by Jade Li English. She is a former Gamecock track athlete and daughter of Gamecock homegrown basketball legend, Alex English, who is now a member of schools board of trustees.
Yeah, Jade Li represents 2023 Number 1 recruit, Judea Watkins. We were one of three finalists for her (
unfortunately she chose the wrong SC ). So, did a Southeastern school only have a shot at that Cali prospect only because of her agent? Perhaps Jade Li can offer transferees private NIL opportunities.
But I'll ask you. What "transfer 'bonuses' 0r enrollment 'bonuses' disguised as NIL" does LSU offer? Or UConn? Or Notre Dame? Or Stanford? Can you answer the question about any school? Let's say that's why I took exception to your post singling out SCar. Can you point to ANY school (other than Miami) and say: They (or their alums) do or do not pay signing "bonuses?"
