Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 4316279, member: 44"] I’m not so sure about that. Ruiz isn’t running a NIL collective, he has a legitimate business and requires the kids who get NIL money from him to do a commercial. Now, he can’t incentivize a kid to go to Miami by offering them an NIL deal if they come, but he certainly can offer deals after Miami signs them. Form over substance? Perhaps, but it would seem to be in compliance with the current landscape. As to Connecticut having trouble filling its roster spots, I’m not seeing it. I think that Hurley and Company have made smart strategic additions, and they’re not done yet. As, I think, you have pointed out, the time to fill out depth positions from the portal will be after players realize that they are facing a risk of the music stopping and there being no chairs left. So I’m not particularly worried about the coaching staff handing out offers based on YouTube dunk videos quite yet. [/QUOTE]
