    Alex Hemenway - Clemson Tigers Guard - ESPN

    Fwiw I was back in B town last week of March at a bbq vendor owned by Rob Norris and he mentioned Hemenway. He coached him at one point and said working on getting him to Bloomington. I dismissed it. If anyone wants good BBQ he sets up every Thursday at kirkwood and maple.

    because that nobody has a much higher chance of becoming somebody than that empty chair.  Plus, it's another player for practice, one that would presumably be better than the walk-ons.

    And whose to say #13 would be the least talented of the scholarship players?    Maybe said player is good enough to crack the rotation and push someone else down.

    Last year we could’ve used it on anyone better than our backcourt but this year we aren’t getting anyone else better than what we have. Think about it. This year is a completely different scenario. You don’t just throw it out there. I’d rather a walk on in his senior year get it than some random dude who has zero chance.

    I would really like to know what specifically some of these kids don't have to get admitted. It's not like Juwan's teams were made up of Rhodes Scholars.

    Michigan only takes sophomore credits or a grad transfer. They will take you just not your credits.

    NIL in the pros is actually about NIL.

    Pro teams aren't paying players under the table with fan donations to come to their team and pretending it is NIL because they actual have contracts and rules.

    I get that but it’s still not limiting NIL. People talk like “there must be a cap”. You can’t cap NIL.  Any back to the regular scheduled program before I get in trouble.

    Pro sports have salary caps for players in order to maintain competitive balance so obviously there are ways to accomplish it legally even if it is highly unlikely to happen.

    Though, my actual point was more that the salary explosion is a result of bidding wars more so than it being required because the job is just so undesirable (as zline was trying to imply).

    Did the NBA limit Jordan’s NIL? Even if say they do collective bargain a salary. It still won’t stop NIL. It might calm the it some.

    I know.  It just feels like it's out of control and needs a major correction.  Paying a kid $1.2 million to play ball while he gets his degree just seems plain crazy/irrational.  I'll never love it, but I'll accept a rational system

    So you accepted an irrational NCAA gestapo system but not an NIL system that is market value based? That’s hypocritical.

    Ok, to shoot more 3s, you have to be willing to shoot more 3s. Those two guards shoot significantly more 3s per game then XJ, Cupps... there really isn't anything more to this IMO. You guys can go off about the system, I'm not going to. 

    We run the same stuff most teams do. Rice and Carlyle are better at just about everything than who we have had for 5 years. Totally agree with you. Those two fit together very well.
