And, back then, that one kid who ate paste, was actually eating the horse.
eh I don't agree with that. Same teams near the top ten years ago are still near the top today. Some different schools move up and down but that isn't any different.
Almost everybody involved in this has 100% benefit by floating out exaggerated to completely BS numbers with no negative consequences. Players, players' families, agents, etc. All want to drive up this market, and it takes no effort to throw BS out there, and there is no downside for them.
The donors might want the numbers to be smaller so their donation go further, but it's not like throwing out artificial low numbers is going to do anything. If someone came out and said Storr was getting offers for $100k, everyone would just assume that collective is poor, they are prioritizing other players, or just don't have a handle on the market since others are offering up to $1M.
Leaking BS big numbers is super easy, very effective, stands to make people a ton of money, and there's no downside.
I'm sure there are some numbers that are legit. But even those are probably being driven up by a bunch of nonsense numbers being "leaked."
Tang refuses to recruit a PG taller than over 5"11
Saw that they are the leader for Reed from Michigan as well.

You would think KU would be good at this with all the practice they got with the Adidas money.
They don’t have the depth they had 10 years ago. And I would argue that UK and KU have not been as successful as 10 years ago. Yes KU has a National Championship, but also has only 1 Sweet Sixteen in the last 5 tournaments. UK has one tournament win this decade. Duke and UNC aren’t as dominant as they were 10 years ago. They have both missed a tournament this decade. That did not happen 10 years ago.
The schools who were paying their players in secret had an advantage before. There were some who had no fear of getting caught due to their name. Now that it is all legal, that advantage is gone.
Milan came straight here from playing mid-level public high school basketball in Wisconsin and battled his *** off in the Big 12. He's going to make huge strides with an off season under his belt. The idea he wont start is asinine. I'd argue there's a good chance of him being our best player next year, behind maybe Lipsey.
My guess, AJ Green
or sometimes CW just dangles an imaginary carrot to increase premium subs
KU was the number 1 team in 2020 as well. But NIL Era KU has a championship. The last two years really aren't about NIL for KU. The prior year Self had his heart issue before the tournament and they were literally a number one seed and won the Big 12. I think they get past Arkansas but likely lose to UCONN who is basically a new blue blood. This year they took a hit on scholarships to get their penalty out of the way and then missed on a two top transfers they got with NIL money in Morris and Timberlake, one ended up being a rapist and the other just sucked. Then McCullar got hurt part way through the big 12 season. Oh and their McDAA guard Jackson didn't work out. That has nothing to do with NIL. And they weren't winning championships at a high rate before. But they are always near the top and still will be.
Blue Bloods never win championships every year but in general teams like UNC, Kansas, Duke, Kentucky and other programs like MSU, UCONN, etc. are still good and teams with good coaches like Tennessee are still up there. Auburn with Pearl. Texas is kind of up and down. Zona still good.
Duke and Kentucky's issues have been that they have gone all in on 5 star freshman and that means there can be years where if those guys don't work out they just won't be as good and might miss the tournament. UNC won the ACC this year and was a top ten team based in large part on their success in the portal in landing Ingram and Ryan. And they were in the Final Four two years ago. Actually those teams did miss the tournament previously. UNC missed in the 2009-2010 season. Kentucky missed in 12-13.
You're conveniently leaving out that he was domestic abuser before being charged with rape and you still took him in Lawrence. Shockingly it didn't work out.
Texas' Arterio Morris plays amid misdemeanor domestic violence case
In a season when Texas fired coach Chris Beard after a felony domestic violence arrest, it has allowed a reserve guard to keep playing while he awaits trial on a misdemeanor charge of assaulting an ex-girlfriend.
That almost has to be Dawson Garcia, doesn't it? He went to the same high school as BRE.
It could be Ben Carlson from Utah but his college career has been ho-hum so far.
