Said I didn't think he'd stay in the draft b/c he certainly wasn't a lottery pick. The extra NIL billz is just icing on the cake for him to come back another year vs. trying a year overseas.

That is not a criticism, just an acknowledgment how it is absolutely keeping 2nd round talent in college longer. That is at least one good development for college basketball.

I don't see how that could be a true statement. I wonder if he meant that age isn't a factor when teams are looking at second round picks or undrafted free agents.

If so, it would seem that regardless of how they try to frame it he's an employee of Crimson Tide U.

'...Age isn't a factor in todays game when you consider I'll make $2M coming back for a National Title run vs fighting through the G-League for $500K.' Also: 2024's Rookie Scale Everyone outside the Top 18 will make less than $3M Unlike first round picks, 2nd round picks are not been guaranteed contracts, and he would have to compete for a roster spot during the NBA Summer League and fight through training camp like JP. https://basketball.realgm.com/nba/info/rookie_scale Last Edited: 5/30/2024 12:31:16 PM by M.D.W.S.T Back to Top 100%Cat General User Member Since: 1/17/2013 Post Count: 2,533 Status: Offline     RE: Terrible Human Being to Take More NIL Money    Posted: 5/30/2024 1:55:05 PM  In the immortal words of Princess Elsa, "Let it go." We got 2 years from Sears, he had an opportunity to go to his home school and take a significant leap up in NIL, competition, and exposure. And so far, it has worked out well for him. You may not like that he left or how he left, but he clearly made a good decision for himself.

Put me down for being the stepping stone for an SEC player of the year candidate all day every day. In fact, I think all SEC PG's should come here first.

Some of you guys sound like a jealous jilted ex. I'm sure there are many other more important factors in deciding where to transfer but I'm sure that a lot of transfers do a lot of due diligence. This site isn't exactly hard to find when you search on Ohio basketball and a hate filled title like this isn't exactly buried within all the other text on the message board. I wouldn't be shocked at all if some of the potential transfers have seen it. It probably isn't a big deal but it can't be helpful. He could easily end up spending most of the NBA season in the G-league and he's the best player on one of the best college teams. Coming back might have been the right decision before NIL.

Yes, a few have voiced frustration with how he left in previous discussions.

Definitely sucks as a Bobcat fan, but give him a break.

And again, JSF was being excessively sarcastic for effect with the title of this subject yet somehow we keep on discussing it like it was serious.
