247Sports has 2 crystal balls to Texas, so I am not too confident of our chances.
NIL has a part in everything unfortunately.
Yeah, every time over the last few weeks, since Pack, I wonder what the going rate is for a recruit that we go after. Since we have decided to not get into the ring with this NIL situation, or just the bare minimum, where are we going to be competitively in the next 2 to 3 years, if the NCAA does not regulate this monster they have created?
Maybe the flip side is NIL will actually make some of these teams less competitive because what happens if highly paid player gets benched because he isn’t living up to expectations? You think he is going to be a solid contributor if he isn’t starting? What if it creates a toxic locker room because other players believe he is only getting minutes because they have a booster who paid him $1m?
The biggest possible flip side is certain teams will have certain players get jealous, because this person makes this much more than me, even when we are doing the same job and playing the same amount of minutes. I never heard what happened, but I know that one Miami player voiced displeasure that his deal was smaller than Pack's deal. Hopefully, this jealously and lack of team comradely would affect their play on the courts/field.
Technically we are recruiting Courtney Ramey and Malachi Smith, but I would expect those recruitments to go the same way as Pack and Hunter.
Courtney Ramey and Malachi Smith are the only other transfer guards we are currently recruiting. Both have big time programs going after them.
Not likely to get him, Ramey last years PG from Texas is who I think the player Purdue gets will be.
Just a guess, Purdue is in on him, Painter recruited him before, makes sense, Ramey could run the show in all likelihood. It depends on money though, if Purdue is light years behind he might go to the highest bidder.
Well, the 247Sports Crystal Ball forecast was right. I just wonder how much money was involved. You have to wonder that anytime on any of these transfers or commitments now. The Pack effect as I will call it.
Morton with the Horns down sign but it must be the 3 point shot indicator (bottom right).
Beard will end up winning big at Texas. And he plays a more guard centric offense. That's why...
And he has a bigger salary cap at UT.
Because Purdue has clearly not prepared for this whole NIL thing.....
PUrdue had prepared for NIL just as much as any other school has prepared. our problem is our graduates are intelligent and not stupid. No purdue alumni is going to just give $1 million away to an athlete . not even Bob ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRR MAN was that stupid. the guy in miami wrote it off as a business marketing expense. Ely Lilly isn't going to do that.
