Have you been sleeping under a rock? Kansas is being investigated right now for paying players and offering a big bag o cash to Zionn.
So am I to assume that since we paid Kimball in the 60's, that we've been paying since then and are currently paying them now?
 
Would love it but a Cali kid with his name isn’t pretty likely to not go to UConn. Probably will go to Kansas, UCLA, or Arizona

Lol whoops. I thought you were MervthePurvis. My bad.

This offseason has taken brain cells away from me.
 
Given @BigErnMcCracken's Socal locale, perhaps he and his firm can put together an attractive NIL package for our guy Andrej Stojakovic. I've seen this kid. He's a legit 6'7", good athlete, and most importantly has a shot as pure as his Pops. Also would be good to establish a footprint with Magic and perhaps up here in Norcal with the Soldiers.
 
Good size flex position wing for Hurley‘s system. Good fit in KUs offense too.

I was at UConn then and knew several players on the team. I don’t believe your Tony Hanson story.

Love that they OFFERED a big bag of cash thus the NCAA needs to get to the bottom of it, yet Zion’s parents actually RECEIVED a nice big expensive house miraculously after signing with Duke, yet nothing to see here. F Duke

The funniest thing ever, is Duke fans saying that K and his staff would never pay players. Maybe this is slightly off but wasnt barrett reddish and zion literally 1/2/3 in that class. The idea that they all decided to play for free is just insane

Peja played in the NBA for like 13 years and was an all star. I’m sure he’s somewhat well connected with the American college basketball scene.

People that think Coach K is actually "classy" are the same people that are easily duped by politicians. It takes about 30 seconds of googling to realize that he's not a great dude, and if you're a college basketball fan that pays attention at all then it's clear as day what kind of person he is.

Andrej Stojakovic, 6-6, 2023, Compton Magic

Stojakovic, the son of Peja Stojakovic, is another prospect making headlines with Compton Magic. Few players on the 3SSB circuit helped themselves more in session one as Stojakovic, who walked away with new offers from Washington State, Indiana, Tennessee, UConn, Kansas, Florida, Texas, and Oregon among others. He came into the spring just outside the 247Sports top 100, but should see his ranking rise alongside his recruitment if session one was any indication.

What am I watching for this weekend? This is my first-time seeing Stojakovic live this year. I’ve seen the film, and it’s impressive, but I’m going in with no pre-conceived notions, excited to see how he looks and moves in live action against top competition.

You just remarked on something that would interesting to know from a marketing standpoint. Being in the Big East and the TV market that it operates in would seem to be a great asset as far as NIL compared to most other conferences. Wonder if anyone has quantified something like that but they probably have considering the recruiting pressure and edge that could give.

Yeah that’s kind of what I was thinking, as opposed to, say, Kansas. And also that Paige has shown that you can make more here via NIL than anywhere else…if you’re good enough on all fronts. I would think that’s something to sell.

Chief isn’t going to comment specifically on Tony’s situation given the circumstances. Be respectful.
However, I will say this. A player was entitled to whatever every other employee of a business was entitled to, if he was an employee.
If a kid was a part time employee of a car dealership he might get a loaner car for periods of time like other employees.

Andrej Stojakovic, Compton Magic – If it seems like each day brings a new headline about Stojakovic, that’s because it has as of late. On Saturday, the headline was a scholarship offer from Kentucky. His combination of size, skill, and shooting prowess has already been well-documented, but he also might not be done growing. He has big feet, strong legs, and an upper body that he hasn’t grown all the way into yet. So, sure, he has to get stronger, but often times frames don’t fill out if they’re still stretching, and if that’s the case for Stojakovic then his rapid ascension isn’t going to slow down anytime soon.

I don’t think it matters. Media markets in the old Nielsen TV market way of thinking are now irrelevant. It’s about brand recognition and your overall following. Both are probably ahead of a lot of other schools and have very recognizable logos. Paige was doing it before she ever got to UConn. So was Fudd. That’s crucial.

For the women, Paige is an outlier of sorts. Many of the top NIL female athletes are relying on other attributes. Lots of volleyball players for example and Livvy Dunne still tops the list. The Cavinder twins did just fine out of Fresno State. The Big East has smaller schools with less reach than larger public schools.

As I learn about all this it’s clear you have to throw concepts like TV markets out the window. Your market is anyone who has internet access. Most of this content is consumed on phones and tablets. A college may provide you a potential audience, but if you aren’t interesting it won’t matter. I think back to Brian Bosworth at OU, who would have killed it in this era.
 


“Tennessee, Florida, Indiana, USC, Texas, and UConn have all offered me this month,” Stojakovic said. “I’m hearing from Tennessee and UConn regularly. Kentucky offered me last night too. I have not taken any visits yet, but I plan on taking a handful in June and July. I’m close to finishing up a visit date with Stanford for the end of May and the beginning of June. I will look to set a visit with UConn, USC, and Tennessee too, and I hope to get a visit set this summer with Kentucky

UConn: “Rudy Gay played for the Kings, and I am from Sacramento; watching him and Kemba (Walker) introduced me to UConn. They are traditionally a basketball school, and it’s only an hour away from big cities.”

Really want us to land this kid. Seems like a great fit.
 
"I am planning to do some visits in June and July," he said. "One I am close to going over with is Stanford, I want to do a Stanford visit and then go from there. Kentucky obviously, Indiana, Tennessee and UConn."

UConn: "I live in Sacramento and Rudy Gay used to be on the Kings so just him being at UConn and watching Kemba [Walker] play at UConn, they're a basketball school and they have really high expectations for the tournament every year."
