Illinois’ hoops board is flipping out right now about BYU’s deep NIL pockets.

Talking about how Ryan Smith could give hoops $10m and that’s 0.005% of his net worth etc etc.

Another interesting story line out of UI so far is the buzz coming out of their practice on how good Kasparas looks.

I’m betting that there will be Egor vs Kasparas comparisons throughout the season and the expectations from both are that they are top 10 picks.

Just a fun added wrinkle to an already exciting year for both BYU and UI.
