I think it is more realistic to expect a good '26 class. The '25s will want to see what she does in the 24-25 season,and by the time that is over, most will have already committed somewhere.It was possible if we got certain players through the portal. I go into seasons wanting a championship run, not just happy to have players and winning not meaning much. Thatās how I judge things, so thatās not happene ing next season, so when most of these players are gone, Kim has a chance to build her own team, 2025 recruiting will tell the story, and. It just getting any players, we need elite and the best, if we end up settling Iāll know itās not happening for us, even though people will be excited for any commitment.
I donāt think so, if we donāt get a top class in 2025 we wonāt be winning anything to get the players in the 2026 class. But I donāt we need to win as much as u may think. If it doesnāt happen in 2025 I doubt it will ever happen for this regime.I think it is more realistic to expect a good '26 class.

Well I hope they have very deep nil pockets. Only way to build fast right now.I donāt think so, if we donāt get a top class in 2025 we wonāt be winning anything to get the players in the 2026 class.

And as of right now, we technically have one 25 offer out that we know of which is Brooks. When a new staff comes in, they typically will have to re-offer people they want to pursueI think it is more realistic to expect a good '26 class.

The rumor is we have over 2M of NIl now for wbb, so we should be able to land some on money alone. Only issue is LSU and TX still have more NIL for wbb. At least we will be able to land some now that we wouldn't have been able to afford previouslyWell I hope they have very deep nil pockets. Only way to build fast right now.
Texas and LSU may have more, but they canāt pay everyone. We should still be able to get a few since we wont have anyone that weāre paying. Those teams have multiple players they need to pay high amounts.The rumor is we have over 2M of NIl now for wbb, so we should be able to land some on money alone.

Don't want to start anything up again, but the timing is so weird. Maybe someone will write a book someday and we'll know.The rumor is we have over 2M of NIl now for wbb, so we should be able to land some on money alone.

Pretty sure we have everyone that we're paying. Don't know how much, but pretty sure everyone gets something.Then of course the portal players expect some kind of bag.We should still be able to get a few since we wont have anyone that weāre paying.
I guarantee everyone gets paidSouth Carolina just announced a $250,000 WBB donation looking for a match. Might be the Bakari Sellars group. They seem to have endless $$, the byproduct of winning all the time.

Iām talking about the top recruits, we wonāt have anyone after this season. We should be able to pay fpr at least 3 top recruits in the 2025 class. Nobody on our roster next season should should taking up that much money.South Carolina just announced a $250,000 WBB donation looking for a match. Might be the Bakari Sellars group.

I think NIL is changing too. Esp on collectives. They will probably get changed to be a uniform payment to the whole roster or none at all. Only from collectives tho bc they ārepresent the universityāI actually learned that from Earl. I was a little surprised the whole roster got paid, not sure why, everyone does now.
Thatās what schools think, uniform base payment and they think theyāll be paying it. UT and several other SEC school already have permission to set up the funding. Then collectives can still do NIL.I think NIL is changing too. Esp on collectives. They will probably get changed to be a uniform payment to the whole roster or none at all.

We just signed two existing players to Vol Club already, Cooper and Spear. I'd imagine Latham, Spearman and whoever else we get will go under Vol Club too.Texas and LSU may have more, but they canāt pay everyone. We should still be able to get a few since we wont have anyone that weāre paying. Those teams have multiple players they need to pay high amounts.
