OT: Bazley decommits from 'Cuse, goes to G-League

25k and he will have to pay for his own meals. Housing is provided. These kids literally have no clue how cushy they have it as full scholarship athletes at top schools.

Enjoy the low pay, bus trips, paying for your meals, and fighting against grown men for playing time.

Guess you don’t realize he is now free to sign any endorsement deal he pleases, don’t be surprised if a 6 figure a year+ shoe deal is already in the works for the kid as he is a projected top 10 pick for 2019. The top kids going HS to Gleague will get paid it’s the ones who aren’t on nba radars that declare early that will struggle.

Paraphrasing here because it was a long tweet: Spears said he just got off the phone with someone in the Syracuse circle. Things are a complete sh itshow. He was shocked. The source also said that Cuse "never should have brought the old man back". That a direct quote I remember.

Not sure about that. I think part of the Adidas stuff going on was the schools pledging allegiance to Adidas and all the marketing Adidas got with those schools. It was a brand investment.

Paying a player that money who might amount to nothing is risky business. The top school are established and have guaranteed tv exposure

Nike and Adidas has so much freakin money it doesn't even matter. Paying a Top 10 kid in the Gleague is like one expense weekend for them. Of course they are doing it.

Think about it, if they can lock him in for a number of years at a low rate, it doesn't matter if they bust. And the upside could be good.

I'm sure some kids will do this because they don't want to go to school. But I don't think a LOT of kids will do this because of money. I would imagine unless you are a guaranteed high first rounder that it wouldn't be worth it for an agent to front enough money to entice someone to skip school.
 
A bit of a negative for UConn as far as late recruiting and transfers. Syracuse may also be very active going after the few available players or trying to get kids to re-classify

They don't have a ton of PT available tho.
 
I hope this becomes a trend among this type of player. NBA should encourage it and the NCAA needs to revise its rules to make 1-done less beneficial.
