This was pretty much what was said here in the last 48 hours. Tony B's source on this one is likely VN.

These things can change and I've not talked to them in about a week, but someone I trust to know said last week, that the confidence has been high on Lanier because he told the staff when this process started it was either the NBA or he was coming to Tennessee. That's why you've not seen a lot...

I love it. Players are no longer powerless while the schools and leagues suck down all the money. Next step will be revenue sharing and that's a good thing too. I actually applaud people who work hard and think they should get a piece of the pie for the work they produce. I'm shocked that some...

In a socialist government, the government makes decisions regarding the earnings that can be made for goods and services. People are suggesting the government restrict what two parties are willing to pay each other for goods and services. In this case, it's exactly the same as suggesting that...

While I understand that, NIL directly impacts in a major way, the transfer portal and it's movements. At least it's not page after page of arguing about how good Alabama is going to be next season.

Your repeated use of the term "boomer" as a pejorative makes me think you live with mommy and daddy and have a safe space. You are trying to control the means by which an individual can use their own likeness to make money. If I paint a portrait and want to charge 40 billion dollars for it...

Wanting the government (congress/schools) to regulate something that has zero to do with them (a private citizen's money making via their own likeness) is the literal text book definition of socialism and should never be attempted in a free market economy. What if you wrote a best selling novel...

You cannot cap NIL. Nor can you make rules that cap it. NIL isn't money coming from the schools. Imagine the NBA telling Michael Jordan he couldn't make Nike money or the PGA telling Tiger Woods that. This is no different. I'm always stunned at how socialist people become once college sports...

I hope he averages 1 point and 1 board per game, and Okpara dunks all over him.

No kidding. I saw 6 new pages and thought there was some news, instead it was Middle School fight club over Bama being the best team in the SEC or not next season. We need a thread like the Irritational Barnes takes thread where all the off topic arguing lands.

I don't know how it'll turn out in the end, but Rupp's Rafters is entertaining this portal cycle so far. They immediately jumped on the "get Lainier" train then reality slowly sunk in for them.

Several have averaged over 3bpg the last 10-12 years or so. Davis, Noel and Kessler averaged over 4.

It seems like Aidoo's big offensive games this year was him rim running and getting a lot of lob dunks from ZZ or ZZ penetrating and dishing to him for a bunny/dunk. He had a point in the season where he moved away from taking 12-15 footers and went to the paint, and during that stretch he put...

He has some moves in the post. The biggest thing I see on his tape is that he's very good at keeping the ball high in the post. He's also not afraid to go right at someone's chest. I'm fine with a 7-footer operating 10 feet and in, the attempted mid-range game is a negative for most of them and...

The thing is, when Jonas became "limited" offensively, i.e. he started playing within 7-9 feet of the basket, he suddenly became much more effective. When he was 15-footer Jonas, he struggled offensively. Sophomore Okpara is better than Sophomore Jonas. Junior Jonas is better than Sophomore...
