Potentially one to watch here. I don’t know if he fits as a 5, but if he can convert as a big wing would be interesting. Hes a former teammate of Austin Ball from their AAU and HS days too I’ve been informed.

Sign me up for this kid. Already told @gmujim92 to leave work and pick him up, lol.

Also, Mike Williams (Baltimore kid) from LSU is in the portal. KE was after him a lot, but he also had a UMD offer for what its worth. Might be dreaming, although who knows.

Well, we need a stretch 4. If he can guard on the perimeter he can slot in right next to the 5.
I remember watching him at Miller and with Team Loaded. Plays kind of similar to what we've seen from Stas. High energy. More of a finesse big unless he packed on some muscle at Providence.

From Sidwell Friends
MEAC Rookie of the Year and Player of the Year

His Aunt and Uncle sat in front of me at the President's Day game
They hope he stays local
Georgetown and Maryland may be the only local teams that can afford him

He had 23 at the half and the other team had 23 at the half

Signed with Klutch - run by LeBron's agent and partner

Maybe demand too much NIL for GMU
I heard 1/4 million dollars minimum
Open to return to Howard but they will have to raise a lot of NIL money in a short time

NIL money that schools offer players are essentially 1 year deals, correct? Are they usually paid up front? monthly?

Every year you have to re-negotiate with each player on your team?

Do any teams offer multi year "contracts" that might be back-loaded to the end of their last year, for instance?

I assume the answer is, "all schools do different things, and anything goes, and theyre all trying to find the best thing that works best for player and school blah blah blah"

Sounds exhausting

Not to be pedantic, but, up until the House settlement becomes "law", schools don't offer players NIL money. When it does become "law", money from the schools will be considered revenue share.

NIL money comes from business or collectives, typically. Due to the few restrictions that the NCAA currently has on NIL (pre-House settlement), anything more than a 1 season NIL agreement would not make sense (can't require them to actually go to a specific school). So, it is the unintended consequences of the NCAA restrictions, once again, that has created some (maybe most) of the churn we currently see.

Under House Settlement, I believe that multi-year agreements are feasible. I haven't seen anything that would preclude them. I am hopeful that we will start to see multi-year agreements.
