Ah, but there's the rub. They aren't employees. They are "amateur" athletes. The intent of NIL was to allow student athletes to be compensated for the use of their name, image or likeness. If a university was selling jersey's with the player's name for example. Or to allow social media savvy athletes like Livvy Dunn to make money from her image. 

Instead, you now have bidding wars for non-contractual players who are being paid to play. That isn't healthy for college athletics. 

"They call [Townsend] Mr. Oakland here, but … the only reason he's got another year is the COVID year. So, he gave us four years. He's got his degree," Kampe said. 

"He's going to get offered so much money and I can't [match that]. We've got a 'Keep Trey Townsend Fund' going from our [NIL] collective, and we might be able to get $40-50,000 in there, but he's looking at $250-300,000 from what I'm being told. So, it's going to be hard for me to tell him to stay." 

I get it. my problem does not lie within the players chasing money. When someone calls it greed, I just hope they are not hypocritical. 

Hatfield to NC State.

these are my thoughts, quite honestly. 

We waxed the Texans when QB1 was healthy, then absolutely gave them the game in Indy with our backup, in multiple ways. 

What else can I apply this to?

Just like with most new hires I'm going to say there's plenty of I didn't commit to you stuff. Won't have a real feel for Michigan for another year or 2.

plus with his academic issues at Michigan.

Lol he absolutely left the lane during that 14 seconds, the count resets on a shot attempt, it resets when he has the ball, etc… should I continue? 

please.

From what I’ve seen, a good number of folks don’t understand the college 3-second rule because what Edey does is perfectly legal.

Keep in mind folks that freshman are allowed to get better. 

but but but CMW doesnt develop people, and everyone that comes to IU get worse at shooting because of Clif.

wouldnt hate that. They could coexist. T Perk 33% career, KC 32% fresh year in 3. Would like to have a bit more volume from the off guard.

I haven’t seen from anywhere that we’ve even been in contact with Storr. Anybody see otherwise? 

he was expected to go to Illinois immediately.

If you two are gonna go some rounds, can I respectfully ask one of you to change your avatar? They are so similar that a glance on my phone had me thinking one of you was arguing with yourself.

Think of it this way.

his guy plays boring basketball, never shot a three.

my guy is an all time great. D, energy, 37% 3 pt shooter, blocked Boozer on the way to the championship game.

As of this morning, I think only 1 or 2 of the top 25 transfers have signed.

cant bring facts to the unreasonable. That's unreasonable in itself.

Playing for a lame duck coach isn't very appealing.

or there are reasonable explanations, if you are interested in those. But doesn't seem like reasonable is the flavor of the week.

Im just wondering what is going on...why are guys canceling all of a sudden. 

Walker's was or is being rescheduled. CMW and staff went to go see Hickman yesterday for an in home, which is when Walker's visit was supposed to be. Hatfield has already narrowed his schools to 4 and focusing on them.

Gotta wonder if Woodson told Hatfield we're not going to be an inside out team next year and that's why Hatfield ran away? Hatfield would have done extremely well under the system that Woodson put forth the last three years. I have no proof but I think Hatfield declining his visit most likely means Woodson and staff are actually changing the type of basketball we're going to play next year.

Additionally, Woodson going to Hickman's house supports the idea that they're changing the offense next year. Why else would he? Hickman has all the evidence to suggest his shooting and abilities wouldn't be utilized correctly based on the history of our offense. If you're going to Hickman's house you're selling him on something different and telling him he's going to be part of that change. 

I dont mean to get into semantics, but it's a bit different. He didnt decline a meeting. He had one set up for after the off period, which means he did have interest. I'm pretty sure he just found another team. I think he has a top three right now.

Good coaches have bad years. Woodson is mediocre at best and if it wasn't for his buddies he would never of been hired and certainly would of been fired. Absolute disaster for this program and I can't wait until the mor?? is gone!

same could be said for a lot things 👀

stuff it with cheese and jalapenos, wrap it in bacon, and put it on the smoker for an hour.

so much for bitching and complaining about cancelled visits yesterday.  

Hickman.... in home visit

Walker... rescheduled..... why....... it appears for the in home visit for Hickman

Hatfield.. who knows. probably already found another home before he could get here.

I would love to have 40% 3pt shooters across the board but if my point guard is elite at breaking down the defense and finishing off the dribble or finding shooters…guard his position..and has high basketball IQ…sign me up. You can surround him with some shooters (if you go this route you need to have a hella of shooter at the other guard spot. 

 

He definitely has handles and great vision…shot needs to get tighter but like I said…coach him up on good shot selection and partner him with a great pick n roll partner and couple of shooters…he will be fine.

just stop with the 40% 3 pt shooting. It barely exists. There were 37 40% 3pt shooters and above in all of D1 college last year.

I have lines that divide what I will do myself or hire someone to do. Any plumbing? - definitely hired out. Electrical work? - depends. I don't mind replacing a light switch, electrical outlet or re-wiring a lamp, but things like replacing ceiling lights I leave to a pro. If I needed a window replaced, I'd hire it out, but just re-screening a storm window, I do myself.

Just last fall I hired some folks to rebuild two wooden decks at my house but did stone steps at another entry door myself. While the decks are not huge, it still would have taken forever for me to do by myself. Had the roofing replaced by them as well.

Maybe the way to describe it is if a job is better done by a contractor with a good insurance policy, that's the way to go. I do all the land work with my tractor, bush hog, blade and front loader.

I can do about anything. GF ordered unbeknownst to me a hot tub. It was delivered on a Monday. She started freaking out about it sitting in the drive for too long. So in three days after work. I built a 300 sf 3 tiered deck to support a 5000 lb hot tub.. My line is if it's fun vs pain in the ass..... and $$$$$ savings.

I know that but we were talking about Rice and Perkins 

some other guy was talking about signing walker now, instead of waiting and seeing if there is better out there, or going after better players currently in the portal.

You know we have 6 open scholarships, right?  And we have probably 2 open starting positions at most, point guard and shooting guard.  If you think we’re getting 6 “great” players to come in for 2 starting spots, you probably don’t understand this stuff very well.

I appreciate you questioning my basketball acumen. Leland Walker is not coming to IU to come off the bench. Another high caliber guard is not coming here to split 20 minutes a game with Leland. Leland is a great back up to the back up to the back up of options. If you want to see the same team from the last 3 years of not shooting threes, go ahead. Bring in T Perk and Walker. let them play together. They average .5 and 1.2 3pt shots a game respectively.
