So, what does an agent make representing a high-level Div I recruit?

[#UnleashSean]

If Shaka wins this looks genius. If he loses.... well.... opppps.

I'd imagine similar percentages as they would for a professional athlete.

This probably won't end well.  Agents are involved with almost every transfer and P6 level HS recruit now.

Shaknot Smart. "We are family" is getting old.

Not really.  It's pretty great.

"He was a wunderkind when he led Virginia Commonwealth to the Final Four in 2011, but failed to win a single tournament game in his next stop at Texas, where he was fired after six years in 2021."

I don't think this is correct.  I believe he was going to be fired, however, he quit to go to Marquette before it happened!

I don't even think he was going to be fired, but I think if he didn't win a couple Tourney games the next season he would've been.

Actually it's great........

This reinforces the notion that Shaka will not do a bag drop for a transfer.

Huh

[MuMark]

At some point people are going to figure out that Shaka actually means what he says the vast majority of the time.............🤷�♂️

[tower912]

Maybe the folks at UVA will believe him.

[Superfan]

With all the fifth and six year players, especially in the SEC, there's no way Kam is the oldest projected first round draft pick

[Scoop Snoop]

Maybe the folks at UVA will believe him.

I sure hope so. My wife and I saw just ONE game this year-Maryland. Health issues ruled out going to Georgetown and the BET this year. If Shaka goes to UVA, it's season tickets! Works for me. ACC tourney games in Greensboro are very doable also.

Thanks for posting the article, GE03. Very interesting.

This aged well

No one here happier that it didn't. Doesn't mean it was inaccurate at the time of posting.

Which is why posting instant reactions in the middle of games is kind of silly.

Losing the game wouldn't have meant Shaka's position was wrong........it's how he wants to run things and most of us are quite happy with his stewardship of the program.

Maybe not inaccurate but pretty dumb.

[MU82]

Just one of the many Eeyores who predicted before the Providence game that we'd win 0-1 more games the rest of the season.

[The Sultan]

This sounds very much like it was written from the perspective of an agent who is annoyed that Shaka is basically telling players to not bother with agents when it comes to transfers. It never says he won't take transfers...he is just very clear that this is what will be offered.
