This feels like Chandler again. Even if he commits, will he ever play for us?

Would be wild if AJ converted, went on a mission, then followed KY to a blue

I know. A lot can happen while a kid is on his mission.

He feels like a kid we wouldn't see in over two years at the earliest — who had no NIL deals tying him to us???

Yes. He'll be signing a BIG NIL deal and has undergone a long, deliberate process to make his choice. And he's not

As long as our head coach and key assistant coaches don’t leave for another school, we’d likely be good.

I am not a draft expert, but this seems like an okay scouting report. I see why BYU is going after him.

If he comes here let's hope that he stays healthy.

The thing is, Kansas was tops in NIL at 4 million for a team

If he picks Bama I think we shut it all down. The entire athletic program.

Actually, if he comes, we should probably focus on the imminent apocalypse.

Some recent #1 overall draft picks that attended non-blue blood schools and their team success that year

Well, that's depressing. But so it really says if that is you're touted as a power lottery pick out of aHS...

Adrielle

Good thing we are blue-blood school. I think the only example that is close to on point is Carmelo Anthony.

Rutgers has two projected top 5 picks and sit at 5-4 right now

The #7 pick makes $7M per year. That’s a lot more than Demin gets in NIL.
