I'm guessing his handlers/family did most of the work to get this deal.
Tyrese Hunter Entering the Transfer Portal - NIL Speculation
- Thread starter cyfan92
- Start date
So Hunter literally does not care where or who he plays for. He just wanted the check. Or as Pollard laid it out: his "camp".
Right? basically it is pre-portal tampering by 'agents' who then sell their players to prospective schools. once the player enters the portal. super-sketchy
Yeah an agent saw an opportunity after the NCAA Tourny and swooped in.

If that's true the 500k-850k rumors aren't remotely true.
He'd get 35k a year in the g league. Which is what most of the BEST college players are actually worth without taxpayer/alumni brands attached to their names. 10 players a year (tops) in basketball might be worth more than that without the school brand we all have helped pay for already. A player like JorBo couldn't cut it in GLeague as an 18 or 19 year old and wouldn't even be worth 3k without taxpayer/alumni branding.
Honestly, an ISU collective could easily pay stars a G league salary and the blue blood/big donor programs could probably pay them 10-20x G league salary.
Does the agent somehow pay him the small 35k/year and make up some bs that it's an endorsement...then an actual big money booster pays him the other 500k again pretending that is an endorsement/likeness deal? Then the agent gets 53K cut of the entire thing?
Unfortunately its not tampering since athletes can hire agent to do with their NIL stuff now.
This is going to happen a lot more
This is all so slimy. I hope all these kids are making good long term decisions for themselves and not just getting railroaded by agents
I thought Gleague salaries were about 35k.
Do Iowa Energy players that didn't play at ISU typically get 500k/year endorsement deals? What a waste of money that would be. This board is 100% basketball fans and I doubt any of us can name any non-ISU player that has played for them.
Or the agent pays him a G League salary while shopping to the highest bidder in which the agent makes the difference between what they are paying Tyrese and the NIL deal.
NIL deal = $500k
Tyresse = $50k
Agent = $450k
I get what you are saying but making hundreds of thousands I think they will be fine with the taxes
And agents usually help with that too
You know the slimy agents will take advantage of these young, vulnerable athletes.
Wow if that's how it ends up. NCAA really could have avoided a nightmare if they allowed programs to pay athletes an equal stipend across all programs. Even an entire football team would make more sense to pay them that salary than the endless facility upgrades.
If an agent isn't helping them with that they should be fired immediately. The whole "taxes" thing will be a non-story.
At this point I just kinda feel bad for Tyrese. JP was pretty clear it wasn’t fully his decision. The “money up front” from the agent certainly sounds enticing, but I can’t imagine what the agent will make back.
This is more gross by the day. Adult agents taking advantage of teenagers and college kids
