Things are raw right now but here we are. If every significant contributor comes back we’re preseason top 5-10. Shaka matters when it comes to that but will it be enough?
Not trying to stir the pot - it’s a concern.
-
Nobody has an answer. Nothing to do but wait and see.
And contribute to the fund, if you are so inclined.
-
How much are they getting paid? What happens if Kentucky offers kolek 500k? Can we match
-
I have no doubt MU will field a better team next year, hopefully with most of the core guys back. Would not be surprised if they had one or two new guys currently not on the projected roster.

I have no idea and time will tell. I know who I hope is back, but not going to speculate two hours after a hard loss.

They are over-signed by one so for sure somebody is not coming back OR not coming to MKE :(

Why not? Because you’re a pretentious know-it-all? These kids have a chance to be the foundation of something special, I don’t think that’s lost on them.

Over signed. Ergo, somebody is leaving.

Somebody will give up their scholarship and make it back in an NIL deal.

Yeah the people making these decisions came on here saw you were mad and decided to get a new coach right

I believe $ will come after Kam….who? Where? No idea.
How long can you keep Keeyan on scholarship?
As tower has said…..does an undersized Sean see a better fit at a mid major?
Also has Tower has said…..no NIL $ for international players. Could Ben take his talents overseas?
I believe Shaka knew at the start of this season that someone was leaving and recruited accordingly.
-
I know we’re over signed by one…
is the general consensus that we’ll lose another important member of this years team due to NIL, but we just don’t know who its going to be/what school will throw out a bunch of cash?

Final Four
Of the main guys that could transfer, Chase Ross and Ben Gold would be two guys that I would fight for if I was the coach.

Throwing roster constraints out the window, I’d love for a true back up center for next year. We didn’t get to see much meaningful minutes with Oso and Gold playing together because of lack of depth up front. The two are completely different players and BG played out of position backing up Oso. Ben should be a key player next year given his size coupled with unique skill set. The only thing that held him back later in the season was the need to be the safety valve for oso if there were foul issues.

I’m a little worried that we underused Gold this year. We had a deep roster and it wasn’t a season for developing guys in games, but he’d play one sequence per half at best, and sometimes not at all in the second half if the first stint didn’t go well. A guy with that much potential might look elsewhere. I hope not, though.

I like your optimism, but I think it will be hard to match this year record-wise even with the returning squad. It was a special year and a lot of close wins. I'd be fine with no BE title or BET trophy if the team performs better later in March.

Love em all, they gave us the best season in a long time and a double title.
It doesn’t matter though, next man up.
That includes Kam and TyKo.
What Coach Shaka did with those players, or better yet what those players accomplished under coach Smart, makes me confident that it can work with whoever wants to play for Marquette.
I’d hope those guys would want to still play for him after all he’s done for their lives and careers. I’m confident they all will.
If not, reinforcements are coming.
Problem is, Coach Shaka himself needs some help in March, and it’ll be the players that carry him back over the hump to another Final Four.
I hope TyKo, Kam, Oso, and Omax are those players leading the way
-
Yeah the people making these decisions came on here saw you were mad and decided to get a new coach right
I would like to personally thank 5Dollar for being the reason we now have Shaka as a coach...
-
For what it’s worth, I haven’t seen MU mentioned with anyone in the portal, yet. I don’t think the coaching staff is thinking they will have lots of space this off season. ND doesn’t have a coach and is contacting players.

You’re welcome. It’s funny how the counterargument has slowly transformed from:
“Wojo is fine you are a nutcase”
to
“We’re building something, gotta take our lumps, the success will come”
to
“Well how could you even fire him? Who would you even replace him with? Do you want to be Georgetown!?”
to
“The fanbase had nothing to do with the Wojo firing and immediate revitalization of the program”
It’s incredible how wrong and in denial you people can continue to be and still come back with the same energy. Bravo!

I don’t think NIL will be as impactful as most people think. Most players aren’t going to dramatically alter a team on their own unless they are a lottery pick. That money far outweighs NIL money so I don’t see big time players moving from one team to another. That then leaves the next level down which are 2nd round to undrafted. Those folks might be the main targets for NIL but they would need to be offered significantly more than what they are currently getting. They have to be starter caliber because bench players on the new team aren’t going to get a payday. I think we will see a handful of players offered big money other than that I think players will decide they want to leave and get relatively what they got.
Pack, who set the bar, decided to transfer and then worked the system for a good deal. I think this will normalize when coaches realize they don’t want to rerecuit through pay days their own players.
-
The seventh grade coaches that are scoopers that know ball have no idea on the transfer portal. Shaka knows who is leaving, it is not wait and see. He is well prepared and have a plan, we will lose a couple of guys and the freshman have better talent than the year before. The next class coming in is going to have more talent. Shaka wont buy portal players but we will keep most of the talent that we have and with nil money.
-
Here's a theory on Ben.
a) The Tall Blacks (yes, that's what the NZ National team is called) play in the world cup this summer/autumn and Ben is not on the team. Not much for him in that case in NZ.
b) The NBL season is basically the same as the school year (starts in August) and he'd make $25-50k there. (minimum 17k as an U25) He could play in some of the summer pro leagues in Australia, but the competition level is very low and the money is enough to buy dinner and a few beers.
c) he's NIL restricted due to stupid NCAA rules
d) He's good enough that with right exposure he can go back to NBL in the $250k + range or go G league for $50k or sit on the end of the bench on an NBA team for a 2 way deal worth $80k-$450k.
Where is he going to get better exposure than the BEAST champion and soon to be NCAA tournament perennial Marquette Warriors (Golden Eagles)?
In other words... he can go for max $50k now... or have a good year on a good team and go for min $250k.
-
EVERYONE SOMEONE IS NOT COMING BACK.

Why can’t you understand that?

No doubt that some MU players will be contacted by other schools and encouraged to transfer - Kam Jones, David Joplin, Chase Ross, and Ben Gold are the most likely candidates to be contacted. None of us know if any of them can be enticed or not. Hopefully not, but, if one or more of them leave for greener pastures, so be it. That is simply the way of college sports now.
Sean Jones might be a transfer candidate since he seemed to struggle most of the year and could decide to drop down to a mid-major.
Whatever happens, Shaka will field a good team next year, and we will start the ride all over again.

Boston Warrior
I agree with you. Shaka has a very good idea of who will be back next year and I trust he will upgrade talent if there are openings. Imo, there may be a couple of opportunities to bring in portal guys, but not one year portal guys. Also, I agree on the incoming class being an upgrade in talent.

Speaking of NIL, were those AT&T commercials with Kentucky and there was one with another team, NIL money?

Huge violation but something that is definitely happening...we can only pretend its not. The only way I see Kam leaving is if Penny and NIL from Memphis get involved...I feel like the kid loves MU but the appeal of going home and playing for a hall of famer thats from his hometown is probably appealing. Jop I think as a local guy that followed Shaka from Texas to MU isnt going anywhere.
Most likely scenario here is O Max who cant get NIL and is a strong 3 & D Prospect declares and either embraces G league option where he gets $$$ or goes overseas.

I don't see how Omax's situation is any different than a couple years ago when guys didn't get NIL money. You didn't really ever see guys leave early with the plan to go overseas or to the G-league just to get a check. I don't see why so many are assuming Omax is desperate to get paid next year.

I cautioned the board not to believe the supposed illegality of NIL being either contingent on attending a particular school or as a recruiting inducement. As I predicted, smart lawyers have found plenty of ways to set up programs that skirt these laws. Even MU has it's own NIL collective. While payments from Be the Difference NIL are technically not contingent on an athlete attending Marquette (because that's illegal), I doubt any of those funds find their way to Wisconsin, UWM, or UWGB athletes.
As far as foreign players--lots of misinformation here. They are not prohibited from earning NIL--they just are limited in the way their deals are structured. Generally, the athletes have to travel outside the US to perform the work, which then can be used passively in the US:
https://frontofficesports.com/international-athletes-find-nil-loophole-at-battle-4-atlantis/ (https://frontofficesports.com/international-athletes-find-nil-loophole-at-battle-4-atlantis/)
An example could be OMP recording an RV vacation through Canada, then licensing the footage to Camping World in the US.

The Kam to Memphis conspiracy is HOT on the scoop right now. It's quite the reach. I don't see Kam taking a step down in level of competition. And he and his family seem very comfortable with Marquette.
-
Regarding the "Be the Difference NIL"... I don't want to donate. I would, however, pay $50 for a 2023 Big East Champions T-shirt.
Why is that not happening?
My old Final 4 T-shirt finally fell apart and was put to rest.

"The Kam to Memphis conspiracy is hot" ? Really?, it was mentioned twice in this thread as what ifs. At least you stated it was a reach.
Unless I hear any potential rumors from notable sports people outside this board, nothing is "hot" or has anything in the realm of a conspiracy. Will know more in the following week as players meet with coaching staff, other teams coaching changes and players want to get in the portal. This will be a busy transaction week in all college basketball and always has been.
I was poking fun at the "rumor," which I've seen several times across different threads. It makes no sense - the only connection is that Kam is from Memphis.
That said, maybe Arizona St. will back up the NIL money truck for Oso. He's from AZ...... :o :o :o

No, he’s restricted under the terms of his F-1 visa. International students can only earn income in the US through an on campus job or passive income (royalties, product for trade). Sorry to rain on your rambling.
The number of kids making significant income from NIL nationally is far less than you all think. A vast majority of NIL deals are for product only.
-
Thanks for your correction. Stupid rules from the only organization on the planet less competent than the NCAA - the US government. (and just to make this non- political, I include the current government and the government for at least the last 34 years.)

Royalties. So you’re saying that Gold can write a bogus book, a booster can buy 15,000 copies for employees and friends, and Gold pockets the money? Just like some politicians do with obscure books that the public never sees. May as well make it an ebook to save some costs and trees.
Bottom line. MU donors will have to step up going forward to some extent to keep players, iOS my assumption.
-

Agreed - The market will level out in the next few years when boosters start to get burned by athletes either performing below the desired output or leaving the school's program before expected.
-
panda
Agreed. It will be the wild west until smart boosters realize the money is not bringing the ROI, and in this case the ROI is winning. At this time, I would recommend to any non MU player, chase the money while you can. I think there will be mid level players making very nice money the next few years. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

Goose, that’s a very honest take. It’s troubling because it hits so hard at the uncomfortable truth. That almost everyone will be in these kids’ ears to take the money and run. I would tell any kid at ANY program to look at the totality of your situation. Is your development progressing at a rate you’re happy with? Do you get along with your coaches and teammates? Do the systems played by your program accentuate your talents? If you answered positively to these questions, what amount of money would justify a change? If Marquette’s retention effort falls $200G short of blue-blood teamY, who cannot match MU in terms of the player development, relationships, system/style calculus, then Player X can think of staying at MU and foregoing the immediate payday as a $200K investment with its own ROI. There’s a ton to think about here. If the Boosters’ ROI is measured in winning, the players have even more to calculate, as they should be striving to be the absolute best version of themselves over the very long haul.

We all keep saying that we are over signed for next year, but is that notion obsolete with NIL?
Are walk-ons forbidden from receiving NIL?
I recall 10 or 15 years ago Duke had a McDs AA as a walk-on. I’m sure other promises were made, which can now be above board.
We’ve heard about some players getting $1 million NIL deals. Does the scholarship money even matter at that point? Fine, I’m a walk on and I’m netting $960,000.
Moving down the pecking order, you could take a scholarship spot at a mid major, or walk on at a high major that can at least match tuition with NIL money.
Just wondering if anybody knows if the NCAA has accounted for this.

First, no it's not obsolete. The vast majority of scholarship athletes are getting very little in NIL, and walk-ons are almost certainly getting an average of maybe slightly above $0.
Second, no they are not forbidden, but when most rosters only go 7-8 deep, I don't think you're going to find a list of high-level walk-ons that want to ride pine.
Who was that Duke McDonald's All-American walk-on? The only high profile walk-on I remember recently was Doug McDermott, who got his tuition paid because his dad was a Creighton employee.
I think people are vastly overvaluing what's actually going on with NIL. Significant dollars are going to a small minority of players. However, that means keeping those players becomes that much more difficult. You're going to see 80-90% of players get nothing (or virtually nothing) and the other minority get disproportionately large amounts that put the John Ruiz types in the driver's seat.

Considering that anyone can nominate someone for All-American, that's not really a thing. He definitely wasn't an All-American. Good on him for becoming a spot starter and rotation player, but no one is confusing him with the rest of that recruiting class.

How's that, exactly?

It does. I had a meeting with the people running it about a week ago. It definitely exists.

I’m going with that MU can’t have its own, but people have one set up to support NIL opportunities for MU players.

Fair enough. But considering that pretty much every other NIL organization has the school advertising for them and sending out emails from official University accounts, I think those lines are getting more and more blurred.

Or, let’s see what the collective says:
“Is Be the Difference NIL affiliated with Marquette University?
No, we share no affiliation with Marquette University. “

You missed this part:
"Be the Difference NIL, a registered Wisconsin 501(C)(3) is a collection of donors and alumni that supports student-athletes at Marquette University."

I didn’t miss it at all. Marquette has no NIL collective. They can’t. “It’s” was an attempt at “it’s”, e.g. possession. MU has none.
There is an NIL collective, whose stated purpose is support SAs at MU. That’s a significant distinction. Not only does MU not own or operate the collective, both parties will strongly state that there is no affiliation. For good reason.

Just heard Badgers NIL is setting up Webinars and talks to prepare kids for handling the money
of course with football they have a larger pool of athletes but this makes good sense to keep them
from making mistakes with the windfalls.

Sat through a recruiting conversation with a number of coaches including the Badger coach for one of my kids.
What bucky does, at least for non-foootball and basketball kids, is all athletes get $1000 per season in an account that the athlete gets when they graduate/move on.
